    We found the entrance to be well-organized and were inside St. Peter's Basilica in no time. The fast-track entrance is located on the right side of St. Peter's Square and is easily recognizable by staff members wearing yellow safety vests.

    Stunning experience. I highly recommend getting Dome Access but caution it is physically demanding. Incredible view from above and an experience like nothing other.

    Admission went quickly and smoothly. Unfortunately, the signage for the Headout staff isn't very clear, so they're not easy to find. The tour of the Pantheon was very impressive.
