Papal Audience Experience with Pope Leo XIV

Great experience! Our guide was knowledgeable about history and was very effective with crowd management. He manuevered effectively and got the group great seats!

Sabrina was an excellent guide. She explained every step of the way and helped us get from the meeting place, through security and to our reserved area. Unfortunately people all around us stood on their chairs to view the Pope as he traveled around. Then, our seats lined up exactly with the cameraman who completely blocked our view of the Pope as he sat in his chair. The Jumbotrons helped. We are glad we went but would not choose this activity again. It’s a long walk, long morning and very hot in the sun when you could just as easily watch on TV. However, we highly recommend TripAdvisor for its ease of booking and excellent follow through.

Veronica, our extraordinary guide, gave us an unforgettable experience. She captivated us by telling the history of the Vatican with great talent and enthusiasm, and above all, she allowed us to see the pope from very, very close up. What a thrill to be able to be so close to him! A magical moment, filled with emotion… a true waking dream! Thank you Veronica for this exceptional experience and these memories that we will keep in our hearts for a long time.

Our guide was Max and we found him to be very knowledgeable, and very interesting. We weren't expecting all the stories and little-known facts, so Max really added a great deal to the experience. Even if you are not particularly religious, the Vatican is a fascinating spectacle and for us, a wonderful experience to see Pope Leo from a good viewpoint.

The group was large but well organized. Getting to the audience so early allowed us to obtain good seats and the guide was very knowledgeable about the Pope, the history of the Vatican, and knew exactly where to seat us.

Our tour guide Laura went above and beyond in helping me make my dream come true, and for that I am forever thankful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This was an incredible experience! Our tour guide, Max, was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Everything was amazing!

Sabrina was a good guide however the operator missed the mark. I signed up for a three hour tour and the seats we had were very good. The issue I have is I was expecting three hours. I knew I would have to leave early for a tour into the Vatican Museum for 9:30. When we arrived at our seats we were told the Pope would not come out until 11:00 am. A disclosure in the description would be much more helpful so visitors can plan accordingly.

It was amazing !! Max (our tour guide) was so knowledgeable and gave everything of himself to ensure that the experience exceeded all expectations. His stories and interaction kept our attention for the duration - not to mention the great seats !!

Meeting location easy to find. We took the Metro to Ottaviano station. Direct walk to the bar where we met. Had to meet around 0630. Guide found good seats near the path the Pope used to greet the Pope. It was very hot The experience was wonderful.
