5.00We were told to meet at the Octagonal Bar, do note EVERY guided tour meets here (we didn’t know this). It’s not clearly laid out, we joined a queue, the wrong queue and after much waiting and worrying our guides arrived. Marco and Stefano. They were worth their weight in gold. We only had a tour of 7, for the Papel visit. You’re allowed water in plastic containers but not tin nor glass. We skipped the queues and our guide was helpful and considerate. Seeing the Pope was a highlight, we aren’t religious but there was magic in the air. Then we met Marco for a self guided tour of the Vatican museums. I would say it’s a MUST to have prebooked tickets. We saw the queue stretching the entire length of the Vatican wall, around 3 hour wait, in the sun. Our guide took us straight to the front of the queue, bypassing the mass confusion of some showing their passports and others not. He showed us where the facilities were and took us up until the entry to the first museum. The museums are set out one after the other, be prepared to have a constant pace and there are many steps. Not always wheelchair accessible. I booked with Get Your Guide and would definitely do this again. Bravo Team!

5.00We were guided by Rosa. She was amazing and gave us insights and set our expectations for the Papal Audience on the day we went. We were a very small group of 7 people and she answered all of our questions and shared tips that would make our visit to witness the Pope more memorable. The only unexpected part was that after she situated us in our seats that she was going to leave. It was basically pay the tour to get the free tickets and showed us a good place to sit. Tips and information prior to entering and also while we were waiting in the audience and what to expect during the whole experience. It was worth the small fee if you ask me. Especially what we got out of it was witness the Pope give his blessings and message and also to watch the blessing of the babies and elderly and those that were ill. Truly a special moment and once in a while lifetime opportunity.
