Maria was friendly and... - Maria was friendly and knew exactly where to go. She provided a good history of the papal audience and facts about the Vatican as we waited for the audience to start.

Well worth the effort - You need to line up very early in the morning as you must go through security. The line is several blocks long

Low Stress - This was a brief but worthy tour. We met our guide, Maria, outside of St. Peter’s Square. We were with her for about 45 minutes. She gave us a good history of the Vatican architecture and the Vatican as its own country. She got us through security and to amazing seats. This was a great, low stress way to attend a Papal audience.

We went to see the Pope . - You can go to the general audience free but this Tour skipped the line, Maria gave us a lot of information while we waited to enter the square. She then found us seats right on the front row for an amazing view of the Holy Father. Our relatives at home even saw us on YouTube on Vatican live TV. This inexpensive tour made all the difference to our experience. Good Luck Maria in 2025!

First visit to see the Pope - We booked late and so were delighted to be able to see the Pope's service. Our guide was helpful and informative . For us, after meeting at 7am we would have chosen to start queuing earlier rather than waiting until 7.30, when queues were long. We got seats in the audience, after long wait times.

I think that this tour is... - I think that this tour is likely more appropriate during the high seasons if you are unable to get your own free tickets in advance through the Vatican. We went during December and there were no crowds. Based on what I have been reading, we likely could have just walked up and done standing room and gotten a better view of the Pope when he drives around before the service started.
