went around most of the crowds, and got us to a place with good views of the Pope. Had interesting information about Vatican City

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.

Our tour guide Sabrina was wonderful! We got great seats. Felt absolutely worth it to not have stress or deal with confusion about lines, security etc.

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.

We were very disappointed with the tour guide. She appeared to be completely unorganized. We were ushered from line to line with no clear idea which line was right. Plus we have no idea of the itinerary for the event as to the time the pope was driving by or speaking. It was a complete waste of money for something we could have done ourselves. We would like a refund for our bad experience.

Sabrina was an amazing guide. She got us seats in the second row, which allowed a special moment where the pope offered our eight year old a smile; a memory that will last a lifetime.

A brilliant experience made all the better for having a lady called Sandra as our guide. Fluent in languages, highly professional and very engaging. A credit to the company

Our guide was very helpful and informative! He gave the history of the Vatican and was extremely helpful in getting us to front row seats and also told us how to prevent people from coming and standing in front of you. He answered many of my questions!!
