Private guided tours of Lourdes / Walking tour
Description
Our guides are expert and work for many years to welcome pilgrims and visitors from all over the world. We are local guides and we provide tailor made guided tours including the not-to-be-missed places : the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, the fountains and the baths, where anyone can experience the healing waters. Through the architecture of the basilicas, your guide will tell you about the religious history of this world-famous marian site. You will probably be amazed by the size of the underground basilica dedicated to Pope Pius X, where 25,000 people can attend a mass. You will also follow in the footsteps of Bernadette Soubirous, the aged fourteen girl who saw our Lady at the grotto in 1858. Her birth place and the former jail where she lived during the events are included in your private guided tour.

What a fantastic day at Lourdes. The site itself is quite spectacular and quite big and you can see it by yourself but I can tell you will be missing all the history and facts about each location. Susan was my tour guide and what a blessing to have her for this experience, she does a wonderful job but on top of that she is very knowledgeable about the context and all facts surrounding each location with her 25+ years of experience living in Lourdes. My appreciation and respect for Susan because she made it more memorable and special.
Thank you so much for your nice review. Susan will appreciate it !
Very professional and knowledgeable. We learned a lot of the history from Susan and she spoke great English. We would highly recommend her for a future tour in Lourdes.

Susan did an amazing job covering all aspects of Lourdes and truly made it a journey through time. We felt like we were walking in the good steps of Saint Bernadette. She was extremely thorough and entertaining in her guide approach. She went into wonderful detail at the Basilica site to tell us about the history and all the beautiful churches and chapels. We were blown away by her tour. This was by far the best tour guide we have had on any of our various trips and just made it so much fun!

Our guide Susan was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and exuded patience. The 3 hour walking tour isn't for the faint of heart but in all honesty we had plenty of time to see and experience so much it was worth the psychical challenge.
