The experience

Follow Pope Francis' early footsteps with a guided walking tour of Buenos Aires

Most popes aren't known to stir the pot, but Pope Francis isn't most popes. Dubbed the 'Pope of the People', this unique Pope prefers to drop the papal pomp and pageantry in favor of a more down-to-Earth approach to being God's messenger.

Trace Pope Francis' humble beginnings in his hometown of Buenos Aires. Discover the stories of kindness, charity, and football fandom that marked his early years, and visit the beautiful holy buildings that inspired him to join the church.
