Thus was disappointing. The tour guide didn't share much information about what would happen, where the Pope would come in, exit, etc. This made seat selection difficult and we were disappointed. We were way too early arriving at St. Peter's, so most of the time was spent standing around and the guide didn't use that time wisely. We would not buy this again and have already told friends and family about it.

While our guide was good, and helped us to navigate through to the Square, the tour really provided no other benefits. We sat pretty far away from the the Pope's platform, struggled to hear and understand the ceremony (might have been good for the guide to provide more context around the ceremony). While it was inspiring to be in St Peter's Square, with the Pope in attendance, the placed was mobbed, and took away from the spiritual experience of this event.
