Exploring the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica was a memorable experience, particularly with the chance to delve into the papal tombs. The private aspect of the tour allowed for a more intimate atmosphere, giving me the freedom to ask questions and engage with the history that surrounds this remarkable site. I appreciated the opportunity to explore areas that many tourists might miss, although I found the pace a bit rushed at times. Getting to Città del Vaticano was straightforward, but I recommend arriving early to soak in the atmosphere. Overall, this tour provided a deep dive into the spiritual and artistic significance of the basilica, despite a few minor speed bumps along the way.
