Skip the line - excellent but the guide not so good. - The skip the line was great and worth the money and the guide was very good upto us going upstairs from the crypt. There was only 6 in the group and it was so busy in the Basilica and I personally couldn’t see her and her directions were not clear. At one point she lost me and as we had headsets on she said over the microphone ‘where is that woman. I am sorry to you all for her, she’s older and tired’ I can assure you even though I am older I’m not old and I manage groups of tourists from England and I was on a free afternoon. It is very hot in Rome now. I was quite offended by this and when I found her again she told me off. She kept asking us questions ‘who is this and who is that. If we knew we wouldn’t need a guide. Also I do not like people telling us their own personal stories and how she ‘saved’ by god. It’s unnecessary, I wanted to see the Basilica not listen to her story. I felt it was all very rushed and she was only interested in taking the ‘younger’ group up the dome. I opted out because I’ve done it before. Not bad for an older woman. I enjoyed the end when I had free time to wander round.
