My wife and I were more than thrilled to experience this bucket list event. It was a long morning with having to arrive before sunrise to make it into St. Peter's Square along with the thousands of others lucky enough to attend. Our guide did a wonderful job entertaining us with history, architecture, knowledge of the Vatican and Rome past and present. Walking into the Square took a while to acclimate to the size and grandeur of it all. Then there was the sheer size of the crowd. Our seats were within two rows of the lane that the Pope traverses to be seen by the crowd. The excitement that arose when viewing the Pope in person is indescribable and should be experience at least once in your lifetime. Thank you for the livelong experience.
Excellent explanation

The audience was wonderful and the highlight of our 2 week visit ti Italy. Guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. However, the cost of this excursion seems much too high for the services rendered. It appeared that access to the audience was possible without the excursion tickets since tickets were not checked at entrance.
Great Papal Audience Experience

Our papal audience tour with Maria was amazing! She was patient, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Maria guided us to a great spot where we had an excellent view of Pope Leo, and she made sure we understood what was happening throughout the event. Her warm personality and sense of humor made the morning both meaningful and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend Maria for anyone attending the papal audience! We had to wake up early and be there to meet. Make sure that you wear comfortable shoes for walking and be ready to be in the sun, cold, or rain or both.
Laura was wonderful!

Wonderful event! Show up early and look at the signs at the front of the lines. They have this event for multiple languages and you need to check in at the one you signed up. Ours was English. We saw signs for German, Dutch, Spanish,etc. Don’t make the mistake getting into the wrong line We had Valeria and she did a great job explaining history as we walked over. After security she found us excellent seats!
The best guide!

Having a guide who is knowledgeable, has good leadership skills and capable of getting her group in tact and securing great seats for viewing the Pope, gave us an unforgettable experience. Bravo Sabrina! We were fortunate to have you guide our group. We did this event Wednesday, Sept 24, 2025.
