Shane – Australia

Having a guide for the Papal audience was great. Although we could have had tickets to the audience for free, we would not have been guided to perfect seats, close to the front and in a fantastic position to view the Pope in the ‘Popemobile’. We were able to see him up close and get great photos. Our guide, Maria, gave us great information and stories about the Pope as we waited for the audience to begin.

Jennifer – United States

She was great and got us very close so we could see the pope

Full description

Join thousands of visitors from across the world to witness one of the most iconic traditions in Rome: the Papal Audience in St. Peter’s Square. This experience, guided by a local expert, ensures you gain meaningful context and a good spot to witness the event unfold.

Your guide will lead you through the crowd with ease, offering stories about the Papacy, Church history, and the traditions behind this deeply spiritual gathering. Their familiarity with the area and the rhythm of the day helps ensure you get a great perspective on the ceremony.

As the atmosphere builds, Pope Leo XIV—known as the first American Pope—makes his way through the crowd. With a calm and welcoming presence, Pope Leo XIV has brought a modern spirit to this age-old event.

From blessings in multiple languages to hymns and speeches, the ceremony becomes even more special with the insights of your guide. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with culture, tradition, and faith in one of Rome’s most revered settings.
