Great way to skip the long line and learn while waiting!

Claudia was amazing with her knowledge of Rome, the Vatican and papacy. She is friendly, accommodating and answered any and all questions. We skipped the long lines she definitely knew where to go and who to ask. Would recommend and do again!

Great visit to papal audience

Claudia was amazing and got seats right up close. Unfortunately the pope mobile didn't go by us but still memorable. Highly recommend Claudia!

Bad tour

I do not recommend this experience with Claudia from Good Morning Italy Tours. She stopped our group twice to talk about things related to the Vatican while people rushed past us instead of focusing on securing good seats for the group. As a result, only I had the best seat while everyone else could see the Pope behind one or two other heads. Somebody please explain to her that the priority of this paid tour (we paid for a free experience to the public so we could get great seats) is to secure the best seats for everyone and once you have done that, while the group waits for the Pope to appear, then she can talk all she wants about the Vatican.

Operator response

Good morning, really i don't understand your review. I can't like everyone and i accept it but you wrote is false first because i explain before the opening time of metal detector that usually is at 7,20/7,30 and then i provided you the seats close to the baluster to let you see well the Pope

It was an amazing and emotional experience to be so physically close to Pope Leo. He has a very calming presence.
