Once in a lifetime experience. - He had tried to get tickets directly from the Vatican on 2 or 3 occasions, without getting it. When I found this option I found it a bit “too good to be true”. But it's totally true. We had an escort come by us to the hotel, enter St. Peter’s Square (we had to pass the strict controls, you don’t get rid of that) and then enter St. Peter’s Basilica and have great seats for Christmas Eve Mass. We could even see Pope Francis a couple of feet from us! Our companion, Alessandra, a total charm. It's been a once in a lifetime experience.

Fantastic event! - We were picked up at our hotel by our guide, Stephania and driver. We were escorted into the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica by our guide and she found us absolutely great seats. The mass was wonderful and our guide shared many interesting facts about the basilica ( prior to the mass) Thank you for one of the most memorable events of a lifetime.

Stunning experience!!! - I lived one of the most exciting events that can be done by staying in Rome! Assisted from the beginning to the end of the tour, my assistants Rossana, Bianca and Gloria did an amazing team job, all made with a great smile, sympathy, and great professionalism, making the experience simply unforgettable! Hope to see you next year!

Came through for a wonderful experience - My family and I had really wanted to attend Christmas Eve Mass at the Vatican. This opportunity came up and worked out so well. The team took care of our transportation, helped direct us to a shorter line, answered all of our questions, and stayed with us until we were picked up. The Mass itself was wonderful and to be in St Peter’s Basilica! Highly recommend.

Best EVE Experience EVER - There are no words to describe the extraordinary service received, the staff of this company more than employees are family. The treatment received cannot be awarded in stars because they would be very few. If you want to have a unique experience, this is the company, its detailed service, the cleanliness of its vehicles, the information provided, security and punctuality, made our trip stop being a vacation and become a memorable experience. Without a doubt, our return to Rome will be sooner than planned and we can't wait to contact Roxana and Luigi to coordinate everything. My respects to you.

An AMAZING experience! - An once time in a lifetime experience! Rossana was an amazing tour guide! She was prompt, professional, and friendly! She contacted us a month before to organize and arrange meeting point. She helped us get amazing seats to see the pope and it was truly an unforgettable experience! This is completely worth the cost- it is a memory our family will never forget ❤️

Once in a lifetime experience! - Rosanna is the BEST! Excellent communication while booking and leading up to tour. PRIVATE tour for three of us: Pick up at hotel by Rosanna with driver, Luigi. AMAZING seats along the main aisle. Rosanna remained with us during mass. She was fun to be with, and very knowledgeable! After, Rosanna and Luigi delivered us back to our hotel, but offered to drop us wherever we wanted to go. Can’t say enough good things! Will be using Rosanna again on our next trip to Italy.

Beautiful Mass / saw Pope / do your research first - Was sceptical at the start of this tour wondering what we actually get for our money as the actual mass tickets are free. The guide we had (Cecelia) seemed a little unsure of the process and seemed more interested in the other group that was being led by her friend. But in saying that she did get us very good seats and we did get to see the Pope very close. We did all enjoy the Mass. it was a long afternoon (picked up at 230pm and got back to hotel at 930pm). For the price of this tour I would do my research - get online and try to get the “free” tickets first. Get to the Basilica early and line up with everyone else. There is no “skipping the line” with these tickets. You have to line up for hours just like everyone else. This tour is very expensive for a lift to the Vatican! I am saying No to recommending this tour only because I don’t see the value when the tickets are technically free and all you really get is a lift to the Vatican which could cost 20 euro worst case in an Uber.
