Easter Sunday at the Vatican

I was really looking forward to mass on Easter at the Vatican and was elated with the experience. Alda picked me up at 6am and was as pleasant as could be. She kept me informed of everything that was going on. We shared many stories over the course of the morning and enjoyed the fresh air. She was able to get our seats right up front and in front of the big screen (a definite plus). She made sure that I could see everything and understand everything. Even though the crowds were huge, Alda made sure that I was where I needed to be at the right time. This was the best Easter ever! I would do it all over again and would recommend this to anyone.

Easter Sunday Mass With The Pope ...

Beatrice was warm, kind, knowledgeable, and wonderfully down to earth. She made my Easter Sunday, attending Mass with the Pope at the start of my European pilgrimage, truly unforgettable. While we waited, she bought me espresso, brought a warm blanket and snacks, caring for every little detail. She secured incredible seats and gently guided me through my first experience in St. Peter’s Square with thoughtful tips and reassurance. Most meaningfully, she captured photos and videos as the Pope passed right in front of us, offering his Blessing. If you have the chance to be guided by Beatrice, you will be Blessed indeed ... Grazie Beatrice!

Easter Mass Pope Leo in Rome

Our tour guide Alessandra got us through the security checks well. Thanks to their great support we got a place in the 4 row. We have had a good view of the whole scenario throughout the Pope's Mass, especially Pope Leo. In summary, we were superbly looked after by Alessandra until the end.

Operator response

vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Alessandra Ihnen dabei helfen konnte, die Sicherheitskontrollen stressfrei zu passieren und so hervorragende Plätze in der 4. Reihe zu finden. Papst Leo XIV. aus dieser Nähe zu erleben, ist wahrlich ein besonderes Ereignis. Wir sind stolz darauf, dass Alessandra Sie bis zum Ende so ausgezeichnet betreut hat. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder in Rom begrüßen zu dürfen!
