Our tour meets super early giving you the best chance to get good seats during the audience.
 
 
We book and pick up your invitation for you, so all you have to do is show up.
 

Experience the only escorted visit of the Papal Audience! Thousands of pilgrims from around the globe gather every Wednesday to see Pope Benedict XVI. Unfortunately, with limited seats, not everyone can participate. Navigating through the masses of people can be overwhelming which is why we have created a service to ensure the best experience possible. We achieve this by providing headsets, a competent and informed guide, and a thorough explanation of what you will experience during the Papal Audience. We reserve your tickets, pick them up and bring them to you. We get you inside early to ensure better seats, and we give you a full presentation on the history of the Papacy and what to expect. Our informed staff takes care of all the details so that you can relax and truly enjoy this once in a lifetime experience!

The Legacy of the Vatican presentation unveils the fascinating history of the Papacy and the artists that contributed to the marvel of Vatican City. You will be provided with headsets and guided to your seats in St. Peter’s Square or the Sala of Paul VI. Once seated, your guide will explain the origin of the Papacy from the first Christians through Constantine’s era and up to the current wonder of the Holy See. You will discover the history of St. Peter’s Square created by Bernini in the 17th century as you become familiar with the smallest sovereign state in the world. Our informed guides will provide a detailed explanation of the events of the Papal Audience and prepare you for your gathering with Pope Benedict XVI.

Experience the awe and wonder which occurs at the Papal Audience as Cardinals preach in various languages reaching out to pilgrims and visitors from the far reaches of the world. Listen to the Pope’s weekly message as he enters the central stage. Feel free to sing with the spiritual leaders of the Church and pray with the Pope - the Head of State of Vatican City. Or just sit back and observe the phenomena while taking it all in.

Frederica was knowledgeable, fun, and personable. She knew so much information, was very easy to understand, and kept the tour fun! We were so excited to see her again for the Papal audience! We truly hope she will be able to fulfill her dreams and goals of being an archivist!

We booked 5 tours with Dark Rome, Sheraya was our guide for 2 tours and Daniella was our guide for the other 3. Both guides were excellent and extremely informative and helpful. My friends and I would recommend Dark Rome tours to anyone going to Rome. Thank You.

We had a fabulous time at the Papal Audience and were very impressed by your company. We have friends headed to Rome in a month and will be recommending that they use your services.

Our guide was well prepared and balanced the tour with informative lecture and time for us to take in the sights. Her knowledge about where to sit placed us within arm's length of the Pope which made the experience for my mother and father incredible ---Thank you!

It would have been nice if someone had suggested we carry unbrella's to protect ourselves from the heat in the information about the tour. We actually aboadon the tour because of that. Most likely would not do this type of tour again. It was really just a lecture about the pope then sitting for 1 1/2 hours prior to the Popes arrival....get real it wasn't worth it in that type of heat and being unprepared for it. I love the pope but we had to leave.
