We were brought in and guided to seats just feet from where Pope Leo would go by. A wonderful experience without the worry of picking up tickets the day before when we were out of the city.

Inspiring experience to see and listen to the Holy Father. I would recommend it for everyone, in particular the holy faithful. Our tour guide was exceptional and on the walk over made sure we understood what expect and where to go. His experience showed. He positioned in seats in a perfect spot to see the Holy Father pass by. We got many good pictures but more importantly was able to see the Pope close up. He stopped to kiss babies and you see the goodness in him.

Smooth transition from entering to the St Peter Square until the end. So blessed to have the chance to see Pope Leo XIV up close. I will never forget and will treasure this experienced till the end of time. May God be praised with Mama Mary’s intercession and the prayers of all the Saints in Heaven.🙏🏻❤️

Ok, I was not prepared for how cold it would be. Pope doesn't show up until 9:45 or later but you need to queue up around 6:40 so it's several hours of being outside in the cold. Thankfully someone let me have one of their hand warmers. Be prepared. All that said, this was an incredible experience. Yes you can get in for free. But Rosanna knew (1) when we needed to show up and (2) where to sit. I cannot believe how close we were. That was very worth the price. And Rosanna was full of knowledge that helped the time pass by. This was certainly a highlight of my trip to Rome and I'm not Catholic.

Max was a great guide. Knowledgeable and entertaining. Max knew the best vantage point. I understand why it was so early, but I didnt realize it was going to be 2 hour wait in such cold weather. Other than that it was a great experience! Thanks Max

Dress for weather. You will be outside for 3 hours. Bring food. The guide walks you about .5 kms and through security to a seat. Julia was fantastic. She assured people had time for a restroom before entering. She got us excellent seats. So happy to see Pope Leo in Jubilee Year

Lots of walking to get there and if you have back issues or walking issues- you may want to rethink this trip.
