WHAT MAKES THIS TOUR UNIQUE?
 
This tour includes a presentation on the Popes and the Vatican, explaining what to expect during the Audience.
 
 
Our tour meets super early giving you the best chance to get good seats during the papal audience.
 
 
We book and pick up your papal audience 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 (which are free of cost), 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 tour 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 Catholic 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. Either way you wish to experience the Wednesday Papal Audience rest assured that you will be fully informed by our helpful staff so this experience will be a memorable one.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Laura did an excellent job talking to us about various issues relating to the Papacy and church history. Very interesting and I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

It was so nice to have a guide whose native language was Enlish/American. She filed the wait time with a graet history lesson.

Tiffany was excellent. She was friendly, corteous and had a great sense of humour. Her knowledge of the history of the church in Rome was fantastic and she delivered it in a very clear and interesting way. The time spent waiting for the pope passed quickly as a result of her great input.

I honestly did not think we would get close but Tiffany showed us to seats that were the main entrance and I was able to get a good view when the pope went past. A very moving experience and Tiffany just added to the day with her friendly attitude and information.
