Worth every penny - Once in a lifetime experience. We are still in awe a day later. I was 8 feet from the Pope!! Marina is a fabulous guide. I was thrilled we left on time without waiting for some stragglers to show up. A few minutes make a big difference in getting these seats. So don’t be late! The one thing I wish we knew is that they don’t let you bring metal water bottles in. They will take them from you. You can go back for them after but in the meantime you are baking in the sun with nothing to drink. Bring hat/visor/umbrella/fan. It doesn’t look like I can attach a photo here, but the photos we got are amazing. Straight shot, nobody in front of us, the Pope looking right at us. More than I even hoped for. Listen to Marina and I’m sure you’ll have a similar experience.

Our guide Sandra was... - Our guide Sandra was great. She kept us entertained for the 2-hour process of meeting and lining up, security checks, and waiting in the sun for Pope Leo. She was also very patient as there were both little kids and seniors in our group, she never made us feel rushed. Highly recommended!

Definitely recommend - The cappuccino at the meeting location was not good and overpriced. Sandra was an excellent tour guide. If you happen to get Sandra, you will get great seats and enjoy her jokes. She is very lively.

Great Tour Guide - The Tour Leader stayed in contact with all the guest, ensuring that no one strayed away. Was helpful with some guest that had physical issues. Communicated her experiences from past events that helped the guests understand what to expect.

Low stress, high reward! - Worth the money! Led through the entire process, where to sit, and what to expect. They were spot on for best seat location! Our guide shared history and knowledge with us during downtime. The microphone/earpieces made an easy listening experience. Would 100% recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy the experience without all the stress of planning!

See Papa Leo! - This was my highlight of our trip to Rome and worth every dollar. Mama Sabrina was wionderful. She swiftly guided us to Vatican City (avoiding the large crowd and long lines) to a fairly short security experience. She found us great seats, very close to where Pope Leo rode through the middle of the crowd to the steps of St. Peter's, he stopped close by to bless a baby! Sabrina also gave us a history of Vatican City and Saint Peter's. The Papal Audience started at 10a for us, so bring extra water (in a non-metalic bottle) and an umbrella for shade.
