Audie ce with the Pope - Great job by our guide getting us great seats and explaining the entire process and sharing Vatican history

Luciana professional guide - Super father, the guided walk through Luciana, very well explained, agile, interactive, is very worth the tour and recommended with the Luciana tour guide

Perfect Papal Audience - Julia was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable with so many facts about the Vatican and Popes. Early entry got us superb seats! Pope Leo came right past us!! It was a humbling and emotional experience.

Well worth the time and early start - The organisation at the Meeting Point worked smoothly. Our guide, Julia, was amazing. She worked us through crowds and got us excellent seats in the Paul VI Audience Hall. Her nonstop narrative was very informative. I have walking difficulties and she was very accommodating to give me a head start to the square. She did an outstanding job keeping our group of 30 together. While I had some doubts when I saw the size of the crowds and the length of the lines, Julia surpassed my expectations.

jubilee 2025 Rome - sometimes can be hot. advise bring a sun umbrella and water in plastic bottles because you might not be able to enter with glass most of all ENJOY ROME! amazing guide (Sandra) highly recommend !

Awesome - Very amazing. The guide explains in detail. I'm very impressed with this. Recommended. I would recommend it to relatives.

Our guide Elaina is the... - Our guide Elaina is the best, she guided us to the best spot right to the very first seats with some great strategy. And we were able to get some great shots of the Pope.

Sabrina is amazing - Sabrina was an outstanding guide. We are traveling with four kids from the age of 6 to 14 2 of which have autism. This makes crowds of this size particularly difficult for our family. She made sure that we were able to stay close to her and that my kids understood exactly what was happening as we were walking through the crowd. She was able to position our family in a spot that was Easy viewing of the pope. But also kept us from the biggest part of the crowd. It would’ve been almost impossible for us to manage this. Otherwise, if we had just gone with getting tickets from the Vatican directly. Highly recommend Sabrina and the tour

100/10 review! - I loved our tour guide, she is amazing and makes everyone feel involved. I would love for her to always be my family’s guide. She made our experience so much better! Thank you Luciana!

Not quite a tour, more of an experience. - This did not end up being an experience so much as the guide pointing us in the correct direction and letting us go. We arrived early to the meeting point only to find a chaotic scene of tables and lines in every direction along with other confused tourists. The meeting spot is a popular coffee shop (or bar as they say in Rome!) and there are tables set up that appear to be for several different tour companies, but are the same company set up with certain languages each. The table for our tour was in the middle and had a sign that said English, Italian, Spanish, etc. you have to wait in that line to sign in and they give you a sticker with the language you speak and point you in the direction of a guide holding a stick with a flag, stuffed animal, bag, cloth, etc on it who will be your guide for the tour. When we arrived it took us some time and asking around to find the table, and when we got to the front to check in he said they have our guide ready for us and pointed her out, and mentioned they have two groups. A larger one with more people or a smaller one my grandma who has a mobility scooter with would be more comfortable in. We chose the smaller group and they asked us to wait behind the table. They pointed us in the direction of a guide named Laura and when we went over to her and she saw my grandma, she told us we would set out shortly, but because of my grandmas scooter she would show us the handicap entrance and speak with the guards, but then that we were on our own. The group had about 10 people in it. Laura was nice enough, but she did exactly that. We got Audio headsets so we would be able to hear her, and she guided us to the entrance for the handicap patrons to at. Peter’s square, spoke with the guards who led us into a separate line, and then took our headsets back and disappeared. She told us when we got through if we wanted we could wait for them or just find seating on our own. The line they had to wait in was much longer to get through security, so we tried to wait for them but didn’t want it to fill up so we headed for our seats. From previous reviews of this tour and several other ‘papal audience experience’ tours, I knew that we had to get close to a barricade or wall to be able to see the pope. We arrived for the tour around 7am to the meeting spot, but on the way there discovered there were already lines of people who had been waiting since 5am to get in when security opens at the entrances into St. Peter’s square, so if you are going on your own be prepared to get there early if you want great seats. After Laura led us to security after we checked in, we arrived closer to 7:45 am, and the very front of the first section of seating to the public was not even 1/3 filled up yet. We only got in easily and quickly because of my grandmas scooter. We entered and went for the front section and to the barricade on the left and were lucky enough to end up one seat away from the barricade on the left. Which means we were able to see the pope as he drove past on his pope mobile! He was approximately 10ft away, if that, and I got an amazing video as he drove past and stopped to kiss a baby. We never saw Laura again, or anyone else from our group for this experience. Which was probably a good thing, because by 830 St. Peter’s square was absolutely PACKED. If we had waited I have no idea where we would have been seated but it would never have been as close as we managed to get. Best tips; if you get there early, there is seating as far back as the eye can see in all of the sections, so unless you are very late or don’t enter security, you will not have to stand. Also, when you enter, head right for the wall/barricade near the isles. That is where the pope drives past. We did not consider this a tour as we were only lead to the security and left on our own, but Laura was very nice and friendly, and happily answered questions as she led us to the security entrance.
