A wonderful historical and spiritual experience

Robert_K, Apr 2025

This full-day tour was packed full of history and spirituality, courtesy of the amazing guide Max. Max picked me up in Rome and spent the day driving me to Subiaco and MonteCassino, telling Roman and Benedictine history along the way. His knowledge of and passion for this niche of Christian history was above par. Our conversation was quite enjoyable. He allowed plenty of time for me to explore these two historic Benedictine monasteries at my own pace. For anyone interested in the history or ministry of St. Benedict, I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour experience.

Great day experiencing...

Warren_K, Apr 2025

Great day experiencing the beauty and splendor of the Italian landscape and monasteries of St Benedict. Massimo was a brilliant guide who provided context and clarity to the area, ancient Rome and Catholicism. Highly recommend-a great complement to the Rome experience.

Worth the Trip!

Philip_R, Mar 2025

Outstanding experience! Massimo was a wealth of knowledge and kept the conversation going for the ride from Rome to Cassino with great facts and insights. Really appreciated the opportunity to hear all the background in between stops.
