    Our driver was punctual at 8:30 and picked us up in a nice Mercedes. We met our guide at the first church. Justin was very knowledgeable and never rushed us. Both the driver and guide were exceptional.

    Private & exclusive group and our guide Justin's prompt input allows ample time at each basiilica for prayer, reflection and further Q&A.
