My guide Silvia was amazing- knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed the topic she was talking about. Loved her ability to use a iPad and share pictures as she spoke to the history. This was honestly the best tour I took. As a Catholic, The tour spoke to so many things on the road to being a pope that Jorge later Frances took- definitely humanized him in a way that deepened my appreciation for him as our pope. It also gave space for the fact that this is for some a religious experience that needs space differently from other tours. Loved loved love the guide and this tour!

Guide took time out to explain any questions, even those not directly involved in the tour. The tour itself was insightful with places both on and off the beaten path. This is definitely a case of you get what you pay for, and in a good way.

I had my 15 year old with me and we enjoyed this tour a lot. We are not religious folks, but Pope Francis is such a wonderful individual, to experience his childhood and follow his footsteps is inspiring for anyone. Our tour guide Sylvia did not miss a thing. She was thorough and we also got to see such beautiful churches. A nice break from the touristy sites and into the heart of the porteños. During our tour, everyone was so kind and also added their own tidbits to our tour. One stranger was happy to share the "he was their Vatican Messi!" We highly recommend this tour.
