This is a must do in Rome! What I was able to see and experience and the history of it all was wonderful. My tour guide was fantastic - so passionate and knowledgeable. I loved it and would do it again!

The grandeur of the basilicas and the history attached to each. Very awe inspiring. Easy and not hurried tour.

A really informative tour of three beautiful sites. Not too physically taxing. Beautiful architecture. The guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend this tour. You get to see some very significant sites without the massive crowds of more touristy sites.

We did this by ourselves not on the tour but I cannot just review it that way!!

This had both of us feel this was a really spiritual place. You often do not pick that up but here you really did!

It has a chapel that has the relics of Christ in there and it is amazing to see them. They were according to legend taken back to Rome by Elena who ws Emperor Constantine's Mother.

I had this on a list of a few churches we wanted to particularly see and this and also Santa Maria in Trastevere are definitely two that are not to be missed!!

Climbing the escala sancta on my knees and seeing the sacred table. Seeing part of the Holy Cross, the Nail and thorns on Jesus’ crown

These three sites have been on my list for years and despite 4 previous trips to Rome I was not able to see them. The wait seem to make it sweeter. It was an amazing 2.5 hrs with Francesco who was an outstanding guide and garnered invitations to stay with us in Texas as a result. Climbing the stairs on my knees was incredibly powerful as I repeated the traditional Jewish Prayer on each step. I was sobbing in gratitude by the halfway point. The holy relics and churches were stunning and I especially found the full size copy of the Shroud of Turin (gift from Turin) amazing. Please do this tour. Please ask for Francesco. Please allow God to open your heart and mind during your time in these holy places.

It ended up being a private one as only the three of us were there for the tour. Giorgio, our guide, took his time to show and tell us information we did not know before. It was a moving experience going through the Cathedral and the steps of the Scala Santa. He was on time to meet us.

We had the best time with Giorgio on our walking Pilgrim tour. He was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions: historical, political and art history. The trip was visually breathtaking and we struggled to know where to look next. It was my favorite part of our visit to Rome.
