Papal Audience, an emotion! - It was a real thrill to attend the papal audience, just as it was exciting to see Michelangelo's Pietà up close. Recommended visit!

Unforgettable! - The guided tour of St. Peter’s Basilica is an experience that I highly recommend to anyone. The Touristation staff was precise, kind and quick in organizing everything but, the real icing on the cake, were the girls who accompanied us throughout the visit providing detailed and competent explanations and making us live an unforgettable experience.

Exceptional - We visited St. Peter's Basilica, which with explanations and curiosities told by the guide has taken on greater beauty, especially Michelangelo's Pietà. Very kind and exhaustive staff who accompanied us on the tour, was able to entertain without boring us all the way. Really a beautiful and fulfilling experience. I recommend it to everyone!!!!

Crushed for hours - This “tour” was the biggest waste of money on my whole two week trip. The guides were kind. But, we were walked around to be shown meet up points, a long walk by a very fast walking guide, we had a wheelchair lady our group!!!! We were given our free tickets 🤷‍♀️, and then crushed , crushed against a barrier so tight and never entered the square. Other than seeing and hearing Pope Leo from a far off screen, it was a completely disappointed.
