Great experience to see the Pope. However, the audience appears to be free. Not entirely clear why this then has to be via Headout. The tour of St. Peter's Basilica was great, impressive and with a guide who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and knew how to engage the participants.

Booking tickets is a must so you know where you're going and what you need to do. The line for security was really long but moved quickly and it was easy to find a seat. I highly recommend getting there as early as possible! Between 7 and 8 if possible. It was a surreal and very emotional experience and I highly recommend it! I am catholic and I enjoyed every second, so it's definitely something very special to do while in Rome! I booked the tour of the Basilica afterwards and Bridget was my incredible guide! She was so enthusiastic, kind and knowledgeable about everything and we got to hear some little known secrets too! So definitely book the tour too and hopefully you will get Bridget as your guide too, she made an already special experience much more memorable!

Papal audience was great but the tour was just ok. After all the admonishments to not be late, we waited for people fifteen or twenty minutes. Why? Also it was not described well regarding the papal audience and then the tour. More info would have been helpful. Finally we had z as n j used ticket and so do d wanted to use it but that was not allowed.

I loved the audience w the Pope ! Even though a bit crowded getting back in to StPeters the tour guide was excellent , she had a degree in Art history was Italian but spoke English and told us ( actually talked a lot to me ) while we were in line loads of history of the Vatican ! I know it's very crowded but that is how it is people are flocking to beautiful Roma !

We somehow got into both the papal audience and the basilica pretty quickly rather than waiting in the queue for hours. The guide was so knowledgeable and helped us understand the history and architecture of the basilica. The overall experience was really good!

Aside from the crowds, and having to go out after the papal audience to meet the guide for the tour and go through security & queueing again, it was wonderful! Our guide was fantastic & very knowledgeable. The Basilica is truly a site to behold! So very thankful my son & I were able to go!

The ticket for the papal audience worked really well. The guided tour of the basilica in English was also really interesting!

The fact that a well-informed guide directed us and explained the different parts we visited was the strongest point for us. Except that we should reconsider the possibility of giving priority to those who have paid so as not to remain in the crowd for long. It makes you tired before going on the tour. Thank you

Everything was very efficient and worked to plan. Our guide for the tour was superb. Her information was interesting and insightful. Her delivery was enthusiastic and engaged one's interest. She spoke very natural and excellent English. The tour was just the right length so you did not become overwhelmed by the experience. Thank you!
