Worth it! - St Peter's was truly outstanding and I am glad that I decided to go as it was a bit of a last minute decision. Our guide Eleonora was so engaging and really made us feel like we were part of the history with all her story telling.

A Perfect Express Tour: Discovering St. Peter’s Basilica and the Holy Door - I recently joined the St. Peter’s Basilica and Holy Door Jubilee Express Tour and it was fantastic! The tour was perfectly organized and right on time, but what really made the day was our guide, Rita. She brought the history and art of the Basilica to life with her warm personality and in-depth knowledge. I appreciated how she shared little details and personal stories that made the experience feel intimate and genuine. A quick tip: wear comfortable shoes and try to arrive a few minutes early to fully enjoy this inspiring journey through history and spirituality. Highly recommended!
