    Norma_d, Aug 2026
    We had an absolutely incredible experience on this tour! Time flew by so fast that it didn’t feel like a long journey at all. Our tour guide, Giuseppe, was fantastic his vast knowledge and deep insights added so much value to every stop along the way. A huge shoutout to our driver, Massimo, who did a fabulous job navigating the route and ensuring a smooth, safe journey to and from Rome. Visiting both the Sanctuary of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina in San Giovanni Rotondo and the Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel on Mount Gargano was truly special and well organised. Highly recommended for anyone looking to make this meaningful trip!

    This is a very spiritual tour for catholic tourists. If you are lucky enough to get Walter as your driver and Simone as your tour guide you with have a great experience. They were both very polite, respectful, courteous and knowledgeable about the areas that you will travel through. It is a long day but well worth the time and money. They also recommended an absolutely wonderful restaurant for true Italian cuisine as well for the lunch stop.

    An absolute first class experience from the time we were picked up to the time we were dropped off 12 hours later. Max and Giulia were kind professional and patient with our questions and needs during the excursion. I highly highly recommend this tour, the cost was worth it. Feeling the spirit praying by St Padre Pio and the cave where St Michael the Archangel first appeared was a moving and special moment in my life. My bride and i were so blessed to be able to experience this together…
