Jubilee Pope Visit - We were able to see the Pope drive by, it was an emotional event for me since I am Catholic. I was so amazed at the various pilgrims from all over the world. It was a cultural experience, plus how fluently the Pope spoke each language. I attended with Jewish friends that enjoyed it as well.

Unbelievable - The tour gets you there early to make sure you get a good seat. It was a once in a lifetime experience to see the Pope so close. Guide made sure we got a good seat.

Great seats - Our guide was great. Very informative. He got us the best possible seats right against the rails where the Pope drove by so we had a great view!!

Most incredible experience of my life! - It was absolutely fabulous…….very emotional seeing the Holy Father up so close. He was within six feet of us! Our guide led us to seats right at the barriers and Pope Leo stopped right beside us to bless a baby!

5 star Papal Audience Experience - We were able to get great seats near the balustrade because of our guides knowledge. Pope Leo rode past about 10 feet from us!

Rain dampened our experience - We sat through torrential rain for almost 3 hours. I don’t know why it was not scheduled for indoors since the rain was forecast. Our guide was great and did get us to a good spot. Maybe emphasis that metal water bottles are taken. I went back for it afterwards and it was apparently taken by someone else 😩

Disappointed ting. - Disappointed in what we got for tour. Basically you picked up our free tickets for the Papal audience but that was it. Not special cutting the line or finding us seats. We found our own seats and could have done this all on our own.

Find another guide - Very strong accent and was unable to understand the guide. Her audio kept dropping out was a total waste of her attempted presentation.

Papal is a scam. Go for free - Scam. Ticket just to get in the square. Do not get access to the inside of the Basillica or service. Watch it on the screen in the square. Could get in free for that.
