Worth paying for! - Completely worth it. Our guide took us right where we needed to go and got seats very close to the front. We were able to skip the HUGE lines.

You couldn’t get much closer to the Pope! A once in a lifetime opportunity! - I am immensely grateful that as a solo traveler, I got to be so close to the Pope. Yes, the lines are long and yes, the venue is almost claustrophobically crowded. However, if I were on my own, I wouldn’t have positioned myself in the ideal location on that vast square. Thanks so much for your expertise!

Wonderful experience - Have patience during the check in. It works very well, but lots of people checking in at the same time can make the process seem confusing but it is not.
Luciaanna is absolutely a dream. She is so knowledgeable and kind. She guided us effortlessly through a crowd of thousands, and we had front row seats. I highly recommend the Papal audience with this tour company, and if possible, with Lucianna.

Louisiana was a great... - Louisiana was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about the Vatican and the last and current Popes, avoided crowds getting to and in getting to our seats, got us to the front for seating, was impressive to remember all of our names (close to 30 to 40 people) and we would highly recommend her!

Papal Audience experience - We highly recommend this once in a lifetime opportunity! Sandra went above and beyond to make this possible. We will talk about and dream about how close we were to Pope Leo as he drove past in the PopeMobile. Never could have imagined it possible! Thank you Sandra and 7 Hill's Tours for making it possible. He stopped and blessed a little babe next to us. We were so close we could see his ring! God Bless Sandra!! Thank you!!!!

Best experience to see the Pope up close! - Although it was an early, dark and cold morning it was worth every second! We couldn’t have had this wonderful experience without the knowledge and guidance of our tour guide Lucy.She kept us all engaged for hours and explained the process of entering the security lines. We had amazing seats in the center first few rows!! It was very special and one I’ll never forget!!

Best way to see the Pope! - This was the best tour we have ever experienced! This was the highlight of our 14 day vacation! We were able to see the Pope less then 10 feet away with thousands and thousands of people there.if it weren't for this tour we would have been so far away and wouldn't have been able to have such a wonderful experience!! Totally worth the money! They were so nice and knowledgeable and took us up front and we even were able to sit down! It was phenomenal!! Highly recommend this!

Terrible! - This is NOT a special experience. You can get the tickets for free emailing the church. You’re herded in a giant group. Our guide Maria did a terrible job managing time and was rude when I asked her a question. We had bad seats and I should’ve planned on my own.
