St. Peter's Basilica on my own!
Jennifer_K, Jan 2024
Each step was easily spelled out, and I loved that the history of each part of the Basilica was described. I was able to go at my own pace and not have to deal with a group of other people. It was like having my own personal tour guide for a fraction of the cost!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Dear Jennifer, Thank you for your feedback! It's great to know you enjoyed your experience with us! We hope to welcome you back for your next travel adventure! Warm regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.
Wonderful tour.
