Don’t get taken back by... - Don’t get taken back by the giant line you have to wait in. It went faster than expected. The guide was knowledgeable and took good care of our group. I did feel a little rushed while we got to the line and I lost the group. Thank goodness for the headsets. We sat almost toward the back but close to the barrier so that we could see the Pope walk down but we missed it because we had to make it to our other excursion. Make sure you give yourself at least until after 11am so that you can stay after the audience to see the Pope up close.

Pope Audience 2025 Jubillie - It was an excellent experience. Our tour lady Sandra was knowledgeable about Religous and historical aspect of the tour. She was very helpful in placing us in the right place to be close to the Pope when he was exiit out of the audience,

Great experience - it was a great experience for us. we did not have to worry about getting tickets for audience , we just showed up to pick up our tickets. It was a very nice surprise when we found out that we had a guide who will take us to the audience and get us the best seats. It was very helpful to have a guide with us, Luciana took us to the very long line to the papal hall, and really made it a very enjoyable experience. While we were waiting in line ( it was very cold) she gave us a lot of information and entertained us so the time flew by. Luciana was one of the best guides we have ever had. She knew the names of the whole group, and paid attention to each of us. Luciana made this experience much more enjoyable and very fun. She guided us to the best seats and we were able to take close pictures of the pope.

Unforgettable experience!! - It was really amazing!!! The tour was very well organized and the Sandra guide was excellent.. very dynamic and super interesting!!! But the most exciting thing was to see the Pope so close!!! I recommend 100%

Our guide was wonderful... - Our guide was wonderful and put us in good position. The experience was fantastic. Others in our group shook hands with Pope Francis.

Take this tour! - Lucianna was amazing. She learned the names of all 30 people on our tour. Walked at a very reasonable pace. Explained the security process very well. Found us amazing seats. The pope passed right by us. She filled the time waiting for the pope with excellent information. Excellent guide! Highly recommend!

Great Experience Thanks to Tour Guide - Tickets are free and you can get in without booking a tour, but I felt this was a good experience and money well spent as I would have had no idea where the best viewing area was or when to get up to stand at the barricades as the Pope drove by. Sandra, our guide, had the timing down to a science! And she was so knowledgeable and gave us great info on the walk over. Very funny and personable as well. A great experience!

Wonderful experience - What a wonderful experience. Our guide knew the best route to take to get us through security as fast as possible although we still had a good 30 min wait. Once inside, he directed us to the seats which would give us the best viewing of the Pope as he drove by.

Max - Got is the best seats - Max was an outstanding guide! His blend of humor, friendly approach, and knowledge om how to get the best seeds made our visit to the Vatican truly special. Max skillfully guided us through the long lines quickly and efficiently, always ensuring we had the best vantage points. He knew exactly where we should sit for optimal views and kept us informed on when to watch out for the Pope’s arrival. Thanks to Max’s guidance, we experienced an unforgettable moment, standing just one meter from the Pope—a memory we will always cherish. We highly recommend Max to anyone looking for a professional and engaging guide to the Vatican!

My Exciting Trio with the Pope - I was so excited to be able to see the Pope in person. I am from America and have read about seeing him and also have watched him on TV. never never thought I would ever get a chance to see him in person. Thanks Viator for giving me this opportunity. It’s a once in a lifetime experience.
