Padre Pio en St. Michael de Aartsengel Privétour vanuit Rome

I took my mom to her first trip to visit Padre Pio, it was just the two of us. We werre picked up by our tour guide and driver at our hotel and the ride was 3 hours from Rome. We even requested for wheelchair which helped a lot for my mom’s mobility issues. Included was a visit to the site St. Michael appeared as well as lunch. Very pleased with this tour and well worth the experience.

Francesco and Luigi made the trip enjoyable and comfortable for our family of 4. I highly recommend this trip, amazing sites to see, especially for Catholics. Once in a lifetime opportunity.

Padre Pio was so amazing slight it’s worth doing. Francisco and Luigi are very excellent and informative during the tour . I can recommend them to the next tour very respectfull and descent.

Our trip to Padre Pio and Saint Michael Sanctuaries (May 29, 2025) was very blessed and awesome. Our tour guide Luisa was great . To Luisa , thank you for being our guide today. We enjoyed our tour very much especially from one who practices the same Catholic faith as we do. I'll send more pictures. Please extend to Florian our gratitude for his expert and safe driving. We also appreciate the lunch arrangements you did. Loved it🙏 Heluise, Jocelyn & Socorro

This was a trip we took as a couple, and it was a fantastic experience. If you're looking for a personalized and memorable outing, this is a great option. The drive from Rome takes about 3–4 hours, making it a full-day excursion from early morning until night. However, the time passed quickly thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by our driver and guide. The car was very comfortable, and the guide provided excellent explanations of the sites we visited. They were always attentive to our questions and made sure we felt informed and cared for throughout the day. It was definitely worth the investment. Special thanks to Maria Luisa, our knowledgeable and friendly guide, and to Luigi, our professional and courteous driver. We were very pleased with the entire experience.

We have the most wonderful and spiritual time on San Giovanni Rotondo. Our tour guide Francesco brought the perfect combination of spiritual knowledge ( we are Catholic Pilgrims in Rome for the 2025 Jubilee ) and the prudence / deference to understand we needed time to pray without jeopardizing the tour pace and sharing very valuable information so we can deeply understand the historical and spiritual aspects of Padre Pío plus the stop at the wonderful Archangel Michael’s Groto. It’s a must tour if you are visiting Italy on spiritual journey/pilgrimage. Very nice drive from Rome to San Giovanni Rotondo and back with enough time to have a great capuccino.

Amazing! Francesco and Luigi were outstanding and made the experience memorable. The trip from Rome to S.G. Rotondo and back was very relaxed and comfortable. Francesco was a wealth of knowledge on Padre Pio and let us explore at our own place. We explored, experienced and learned way more than expected all while embracing the religious importance of Padre Pio. So glad we went on this tour and would highly recommend.

It was spiritual journey, we had enough time to go around town, attend a mass, eat lunch. timing was perfect for the mass. there were arranged time for rest stops for bathroom breaks. we felt safe with the driving of Luigi. And Francesco M was our guide, he was informative and sensitive to the needs of my Aunt. we used a lift when available. Thank you for your kind attention. Will be glad to recommend the trip.

Maria was an amazing companion and leader to our trip. She is so patient and sympathetic to my beliefs (and hers), respectful and accommodating us was just incredible. The driver and Maria were so knowledgeable and friendly too.

It was dream come true for my husband who developed a devotion for Padre Pio last year. It’s a long ride from but it was well worth it and I don’t think we would have appreciated visiting Pietrelcina if we just took an Uber to go there and back. We thank God for our tour leader Sabrina who took us to the different chapels in Pietrelcina and this included leading our family of 5 down a beautiful hallway with mosaic walls built and gifted by Filipinos some years back because of their devotion to Padre Pio. The right wall showed mosaic images of the life of Christ while the left wall had mosaic images of the life of St. Francis of Assisi. The day before the tour, we asked if we could hear Mass in Pietrelcina as it was going to be a Sunday. Viator accommodated our request and Sabrina timed it so that we could still find seats for the 11:30am mass. She brought us to Padre Pio’s crypt after (it could’ve been before the Mass when there were less people at the crypt, but I’m glad she made a judgment call to do this after the mass so our family could be seated for Mass. I told Sabrina if there was an opportunity, if we could hear confession too. She tried in Pietrelcina but there was none. Part of the tour was having lunch which our family enioyed. Other than Pietrelcina, the tour includes going to the Saint Michael the Archangel chapel/sanctuary. Didn’t expect this special walk down to a chapel/cave. And Sabrina was able to help us find a place where there were was an English priest-confessor. ❤️ I wish Sabrina could have spoken more about Padre Pio but that’s on me because I didn’t ask more about him. More than anything, I am grateful that it was Sabrina who was our tour leader because I really felt her faith and she was not shy about sharing this with us and emphasizing about faith and God’s love. Florian our driver got us sooner to the various destinations efficiently and safely. He was kind to interact with too. This made our trip to Italy both memorable and meaningful. Perfect for our family Jubilee pilgrimage. My only feedback for consideration of Viator is to fix the Viator app because when it asked me to choose a certain currency (INR) to avail of my points (to give me a discount for my succeeding ordered trips), I couldn’t select the currency on the app. Even Arif, our tour leader for our Pisa trip tried to help but even if we tried restarting the app and my phone, it didn’t work so I wasn’t able to avail of my earned points. Hope other customers don’t have the same concern.
