Great tour guide, though I thought we would get better seats. Our guide got us through the process without any stress.

To prepare for the Pope’s arrival you must arrive about 4 hours prior to the actual event. The event itself last approximately 1 hour. All in all it’s worth attending once in a life time.

Great, good experience , everything I would hope for. Guided to our seats. From the person who attended . Not recommended for people with mobility issues. For an extra charge , we were offered to join a smaller group .

Highly recommend! While you can get a ticket to the Papal Audience for free, doing it with a tour makes the experience run more smoothly. Irene, our guide, shared insightful history and information while heading to the Vatican. She knew the best security line to go through, ideal location to sit for best view of the Pope, and other recommendations for all things Vatican. I saved a few hours by not having to get the ticket myself the day before. Take the stress and let them do the work for you. Thanks Irene and the team.

This was the most amazing experience! Our guide was so amazing. Got us right up in the front row of our section that the pope drives through so you could see him and shake hands.
