The early morning start helped us breeze through a short security line and no wait to go up the dome. Incredible experience and views in this massive basilica! Excellent tour guide Ignacio!

Guide was great but I thought he was staying with us in the Basilica itself for a while after the climb. Going to the catacombs of the pope's was a bonus. Would recommend.
