  This was a truly amazing experience that was beyond my expectations!! Easy meeting point before going into the Vatican City to see and listen to the Pope. Excellent seats and our guide ensured everyone was looked after and helped with any concerns!! One of my best days ever!!!

• Once in a Lifetime Event

  It’s a weekly meeting the pope holds with “pilgrims.” We booked it through Viator, where I saw it listed. There were passages in Italian, French, English, Spanish, German, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese, and Polish. The pope spoke in Italian, English, and Spanish. The interpreters that presented in the other languages translated his responses. Groups that made pilgrimages there were acknowledged. There was one school from the US and a delegation from the UK. There was a violin troupe of youngsters from Brazil, and several other Portuguese speaking groups. It was like being at a soccer match with multiple teams, with flags of countries being waved and anthems sung, and groups enthusiastically responding when their presence was acknowledged by the pope.

• Not worth it for the Papal Audience

  We had already secured our own Papal Audience tickets by emailing the Rome office directly, which was very easy. We decided to do the tour anyway, thinking the guide would know where to position the group to get a better glimpse of the Pope. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. There were about 29 people in the group, and despite the early call time, a long line had already formed. Once inside, we were seated in the middle section, where the Pope looks very small and usually only passes along the front and side aisles. If you’re hoping for a closer view, clearer photos or videos, or any chance of interaction, this setup doesn’t help. At one point, I stepped away to use the restroom and noticed side seating that offered much better visibility. Since it was just the two of us, we moved there, returned our headsets to the female guide, and were told we were on our own. Looking back, leaving the group was the best decision we made. From the sidelines, I was able to take a clear video of the Pope, and my husband was able to personally hand him the baseball cap he had been hoping to give him. Given how simple it is to secure Papal Audience tickets on your own, this tour felt unnecessary and not worth the extra cost. Recommendation: skip the tour and do it independently for a better, more flexible experience.

  So organized. Our guide Luciana learned everyone’s name and took care of us. You need to get this service.

  It was a great experience, some little nuances would have been nice to know pertaining to seating in the Auditorium, but it worked out okay. It was wonderful to be in the presence of the Pope. The history lesson on the walk over was excellent, and the guide excellent

• Highly recommend experience.

  I was blown away with how much knowledge our host had. Definitely experienced more than we expected, she was friendly, went at the pace of the group and it was clear to see she cared about our experience.

  Know you can get tickets on your own, but being escorted in an organized way got us front row viewing to this absolutely special event. Daniela was also informative and engaging which helped counter the early morning rise and wait time.

  Wonderful experience. I would strongly recommend arriving to check in location as soon as you can as groups’ depart when they reach maximum number. Our tour guide person was Max and he was very very good.

  Our guide, Veronica, knew exactly how to get thru the crowds quickly. When the Pope came thru the crowd, she told us exactly where to move to get good pictures. I enjoyed her as a guide!
