Lucky us, instead of the Papal Audience, Pope Benedict celebrated Mass as it was Pope John Paul's 3rd anniversary. The tour took the hassle out it and we had great seats. It was an extremely moving experience.

It was the Wednesday after Easter and raining, but it was wonderful as seats were close, and getting through lines was worth the tour. Did not like being taken to buy in the store where we stopped, as prices were much higher than the Vatican. The tour operator pushed shopping on every tour that we booked with them.

I would just like to say it was well worth doing. The audience with the Pope was just superb. I just can't believe I was with the Holy Father. There were 5000 people in the hall and because we booked with Viator we were almost at the front, so we had a fantastic view of the Pope. For the people at the back they had to look at the big screen, so thank you for making our trip a very well remembered one.

The pickup, transfer and tour were great. We got an excellent view of the Pope and were allowed to stay afterwards. Thank you!

A wonderful experience enhanced by our tour guide, plus the courteous way we could be dropped off anywhere in the city after the audience was GREAT.

The experience was fantastic. We enjoyed every minute of it and we didn't think that we would get that close to Pope Benedict. We were only 5 feet away which was a really great event and the tour guides were very helpful.

We loved seeing the Pope. We did not realize that we could have gotten the ticket for this by ourselves for free. The ticket stated that it was completely free. We only wanted to see the Pope, not the tour and the toilet stop at the rip-off shop.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The seats were excellent. It was well worth the money.

This was very well planned. We arrived at a very good time and got very good seats. We had the chance to see the Pope very close up.
