  • 5 out of 5 Stars - ​"This was our first trip to Rome... We were very blessed to have our own "native" tour guide (David) whose knowledge of the history, art and architecture of the sacred shrines and Italian culture in general, added so much to our amazing experience...  It was truly an amazing and deeply enriching experience that we will never forget, and we give thanks to God!"   -Gabriella & Rick San Severino, Myerstown, PA
  • 5 out of 5 Stars - "This was my first trip to Italy and I truly enjoyed it SO MUCH. Mike, Sue and David did an AMAZING job preparing this pilgrimage. I really appreciated how they spiritually helped us for this pilgrimage the day we gave our YES by reminding us to always pray. They made me feel really comfortable and welcomed in this pilgrimage. AND they always made me laugh :)"   - Katherine Munda, Texas
