    It was a unique experience, the guide - Giuseppe - was great, our seats were a bit far from where the pope was standing. At the end of the audience there was a huge crowd of people climbing on the chairs to see the pope. I guess this is usually happenning at such an event :)

    This activity was very helpful in gaining great seats to see the Pope pass by and leave quickly before the crowd. The guide was also very informative as he lead us to our seats, and even let us stop to purchase anything we wanted to get blessed during the sermon.

    Overall it's good. The guide gives a good explanation about the construction of the square, about when the audiences began and indicates a place where the pope will pass. I went with my nonna and he had all the patience to wait for her, who has a little difficulty walking. Only consideration is that it could put us in places closer to the pope, which is offset by the pope's passing orientation.
