When you reach the top, admire panoramic views over Vatican City and beyond. As the tallest Dome in the world, the views are truly unforgettable.

Once you descend and make your way through the Basilica, your audio guide will describe many of the highlights, including Michelangelo's Pieta, Bernini's Baldacchino, and the final resting places of St. Peter and other Popes.

You will also marvel at the incredible architecture that surrounds you, from the intricate mosaics to colourful marble.

With 27 points included in the audio guide, be assured that you won't miss any of the Basilica's most important and historical treasures.

it was an average experience, audio guide was not user-friendly, difficult to correlate the chapters to artefacts, no proper instructions. initial touch point to collect the tickets is not very user-friendly, very large crowd. overall just a bit under par experience.

There’s no good way to buy tickets for St. Peter’s Basilica online and I opted to use Vox. I arrived at the meeting spot a little early. It was easy to find. They basically just took us over and stood in line with us. I had the opportunity to use the audio guide but decided not to. Had I known that all I had to do was go get in line early, 7:30 am, and buy a ticket I would have.. but I didn’t know that and I’m happy with the service. Tickets are cheaper on your own. Be forewarned, if you skip the elevator to the dome , it’s 551 steps to the top with no place to turn around. So worth it though. The Basilica is beautiful and the view of Rome from there is amazing. Box (Headout) makes it easy.

The tour was accurate of what the event advertised. You start at the meeting point which was a small café were they give you a free breakfast, a juice box and a crossaint. Than the tour guide takes you through the security which is mandatory. They take you into St. Peter's Basilica where you get the choice whether to stay with the group or guide yourself through the Basilica. They recommend you going up to the Dome & the cupola if you do go up the stairs 2,204 you can take the elevator or the stairs. Otherwise, it's an amazing experience and I 100% recommend this experience. I would definitely return!

Tickets to visit the dome can be purchased on site for €8 (€10 with the elevator) this option only serves to obtain an audio guide via a QR code and access to the basilica is obviously free.

Found the place to access ticket with help from taxi driver. Young friendley stafff led us in right direction with a lengthy queue awaiting entry. Use the lift to acces the roof level. Then climbed up the dome. You need to be quite fit. Photos from the top are amazing. Once in a lifetime thing to do. Pleased i did it.

A lot of people from different languages were placed together at the same time only in one group. And, having only one guide for this big assemble complicated the communication.
This large group was kept together in the extremely long waiting line (so, also, nothing about "skip-the-line")
Finally, after passing security, the guide apparently was in a hurry walking very fast, and for that reason, several people from the middle to the end of the group were left behind.

Ignore any reviews that refer to this as Skip-the-line or early entry. It's not. In fact, it will take you longer to get in using this service rather than just going yourself the day of because you have to wait for the tour, which offers no additional service other than the Audioguide. They explain nothing along the way except to suggest you can buy breakfast at the cafe that "just so happens" to be the group meeting point.

No advantage to booking on this site. Had to queue for two hours. More expensive than had we just turned up on the day. Most unhelpful guide and audio guide was downloading an app that we could get to work. We felt throughly ripped off

Would not recommend! We bought tickets online, we get to the meering point then to go to St. Peters to wait with 60 other people. Then we see the guide buy the tickets! Why pay €29 for a ticket that I can by myself for €10? And have the same experience with just my loved ones and not 58 unkown people! This is a scam!
