Full description
To enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience of an audience with the Pope at the Vatican you need to have an appointment, and priority viewing tickets are limited. Here you will have a chance to see the Egyptian Obelisk, dating back to the time of Ramses II. Before arriving at St. Peter's Square, and preparing for your audience with the Pope, you will glimpse the impressive Castel Sant'Angelo and the tomb of Emperor Hadrian. The Papal audience will be held in either St Peter's Square, St Peter's Basilica, or the Audience Hall, depending on seasonal conditions and the number of visitors taking part in the audience. Before the beginning of the audience, you will be given further information on when and where to meet.

The tour guide was very professional and helpful. He explained up front what would happen during the tour. We got to see the Pope up close as his pope mobile drove twice around the area in front of the Basilica. It was not too crowded. Very enjoyable and I strongly recommend this tour.

We got to the Vatican with good timing. Directions were clear and easy to follow. We sat at the back of a roped off section after going through normal security. Within 15 minutes of being seated, the Pope came out to the audience in the "Pop-Mobile." We were so close we could easily video but not close enough to touch. It was a life experience I'll never forget.

excelente en un todo, salvo un exceso de gente en los recorridos que se termina apreciando algo tan hermoso con tan poco tiempo, a mi criterio debería hacerse con menos cantidad de gente en los lugares donde esta todo el conocimiento sobre el arte y religión, pues parece un trote artístico y se pierde lo hermoso de cada cosa.-
