Hassle-free

5.00Hassle-free, but VERY crowded. Our guide walks fast—like Olympic-level fast. We lost her twice, and honestly, I was ready to start leaving breadcrumbs. But seeing Pope Leo’s huge smile when he heard the crowd chanting ‘USA!’ made it all worth it. Just… don’t be late. You will get left behind, and no amount of chanting will save you.
Great Papal ex6.

5.00Meeting place was easy to find. But there should be 2 people handling such a large English speaking group as the line was long to clear. Laura our guide was excellent and told us a lot about the history of the Vatican. She was always counting our group which was a good thing to do as it was a sea of people and could easily get lost.

5.00Our very competent guide allowed us , despite the numerous presence of groups of pilgrims to find a fantastic location near the path of the Popemobile giving us the opportunity to see it 2 steps away. Waiting for the beginning of the audience, he explained in detail the history and the Basilica of St. Peter!! Total satisfaction
Get through the chaos with this tour!

5.00This tour was amazing! I booked this to get through the chaos of experiencing a Papal Audience during Jubilee year. I wanted decent seats and someone to escort us through security and get us seated. This tour delivered and I highly recommend it. The meeting place was easy to find and they had a check in desk. The tour guide even brought us to a store near the Vatican that was open at 7am to purchase rosaries if people needed. Our guide shared historical details as we walked to security gates. She searched for the shortest line and got us through quickly. There were hundreds of people waiting in lines, but guided tours have separate, shorter entrance areas. Our seats were 8 row from the front barrier! Excellent seats and unobstructed view of the Pope.

5.00Sabrina was a fantastic tour guide! She took great care of us all. She guided us expertly through the huge crowds and made sure we had time for a comfort break and to shop for religious items to be blessed during our audience. We had excellent seats and were less than ~20 feet away from Pope Leo XIV as he passed by in the “Pope Mobile.” Such an incredibly memorable and blessed holy moment! I would highly recommend this tour and Sabrina, in particular, as your guide!!
