5.00Paying for the tour was so worth the money. Julia led us through the crowd with our secured tickets. Our choice of seats was amazing.
Great experience with Julia!

4.00For first time visitors this was worth the experience to gain benefit of our guide’s experience in navigating the crowds of pilgrims attending the Papal audience. While attendance is “free” it could have been overwhelming to try and figure it out on our own. That said, the initial registration process was very crowded and a bit chaotic. We arrived earlier than the indicated 20 minutes ahead of time and we were glad we did. Our guide knew which security line would be least crowded and most efficient, and which seating area (first come first served) would give the best vantage points to view the proceedings as well as get close to the Pope during his pre-audience “Pope-mobile” tour through the crowd. We would recommend for first-timers, but now that we are in the “circle” with our “insider” knowledge, we wouldn’t need to repeat if we have an opportunity to return to Rome for another audience.
Perfect View of the Pope

5.00We had Sabrina as our tour guide and she got us a front row seat to see the Pope drive right in front of us! An experience of a lifetime! It was a hot one and waited from 7am till 10am for the Pope to come out. Make sure to not book a 10:30am tour or you’ll miss it!
Once in a lifetime experience, highly recommend

5.00Julia was a wonderful guide - personable, professional, and warm. She helped us through security and the lines, and we ended up with wonderful seats just a few over from the center row. She kept us entertained right up until the audience began. A fantastic experience - highly recommend.

4.00There is still a tremendous amount of waiting even though you book these tickets. It is an EARLY morning with waiting in multiple lines. The guide was able to secure excellent seats for us. I would suggest bringing a book or something as you will have hours to fill before the audience begins. The headphones they give you to hear your guide as you walk to/get in to St Peter's square were not working (lots of static) which was frustrating. Overall though it was the easiest way to get to experience this and they made the lines as short as possible and guided us to the best seats which I would never have otherwise known.
A memorable experience
