Feedback from Past Tours

People (at the parish) are still talking about the great time they had, and are asking about the schedule of the next trip. ~Gloria

Thank you, Mountain, for all your hard work in our two trips, now, to Italy. I feel very blessed by God to have been able to travel and see where the Saints have been; Eucharistic Miracles, Relics and even more. I love being Catholic! ~Patty

Our tour was excellent. Accommodations and tour guide could not have been better! ~Father Richard Tibbetts

I hope to experience another tour with you! ~JoAnn

The trip was worth every penny. I would do the same trip a second time, if ever the opportunity arose. ~Barbara

I would encourage all Christians to make a pilgrimage to Rome. I am forever changed by the experience. ~Barbara

I enjoyed the attention and organization of the entire trip. You and your assistant made sure everything was in place. I could not have asked for better leadership. ~Elizabeth

Very well priced considering the accommodations and meals. ~Elaine

The workbook for the students was a wonderful addition to all of us. Not only was it a great place to take notes as we traveled along, but I am still using it to look up, on the internet, what I didn’t see (Roman Forum) and to refresh my memory of the things that we did. I also enjoyed the evening classes with the kids. They helped me retain what we had learned and seen each day. I will occasionally check out your website and save my pennies for perhaps another adventure. ~Kathy

My faith as a Roman Catholic is stronger than before. ~Marc

I felt I was very well prepared. The pre-trip meeting was a definite plus. ~Kathy

I would follow you anywhere:-) ~Kathy

You did above and beyond what any other guide would have done. ~Flo

I’d go again with you anywhere. Thanks for the best trip of my lifetime. ~Mary

Thanks for a great trip. This is something we could of never planned on our own. You provided a great opportunity for us and we are so happy we went with you. ~Darlene

Everything was organized and the hotel and restaurants were excellent. I already started saving for our next trip. I can’t wait!!!! ~Nidia

Yes, even though I am not catholic, the masses I took part of were very moving. I feel my faith and my relationship with God has deepened. ~Rena

If you indeed plan the next pilgrimage for Saints Peter and Paul to Greece I definitely want to be a part of it. I have total confidence in your planning. I  enjoyed the experience and it was well worth every penny. WHAT AN EDUCATION!!!!! God bless you. ~Elizabeth

The sites that we visited in Assisi and Rome were fantastic. The restaurants, the structures, the hotels and the people captivated me. The history that you presented provided the necessary connections that we needed to understand the modern day Rome. You did a great job planning and presenting the information. ~Elizabeth

Seeing my parishioners have the wow moment was the wow for me. ~Father Eric Hill

I learned so much about Italians by eating in all those family restaurants. The food and hospitality were unforgettable. ~Barbara

First I would like to thank you and your staff. Every time I entered a church, that was a WOW moment to me. Each church represents a museum to me, specially the story behind each one of them, make every single one unique. ~Marc

My favorite WOW moment was seeing the relics at Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. To have read about the crucifixion is one thing, but to see actual items from it make you realize how fortunate we are as Christians that Jesus gave his life. ~Rena

I will recommend your company to anyone who is interested in traveling in Europe. I hope I am able to join you again soon. My only dislike was the shower /bathtubs, but I am better prepared for them now. ~Barbara

I had a wonderful time and am extremely blessed that I was able to attend. I would love to attend in the future. ~Rena

The restaurants we went to not only served scrumptious food but the owners and servers were enlightening and entertaining. I also enjoyed our encounters with the sisters in the convents. The street sellers and shop keepers were more than interesting. Also, I didn’t find communication that difficult. With the few words I knew, hand language worked great! ~Kathy

Compared to other trips I have taken very much worth the price. ~Elizabeth

The price was very affordable for everything that was provided. Just the flight alone cost more than the whole tour. The meals provided were EXCELLENT. The tours were well worth the admission fees and the churches that we visited were priceless. ~Rena

I was more than satisfied with the schedule, sometimes a little overwhelmed, but never disappointed. ~Barbara

I feel it was so worth it. I know if we’d gone without you, we would have spent much more. ~JoAnn

The trip was an opportunity to stay in prayer and refocus on myself and church family.  Growing spiritually was definitely the best thing that could have happened to me during the trip. I felt such a connection with God! ~Elizabeth

For the length of time that we had, scheduling had to be tight. We did not waste any time. It was very demanding, but rewarding. ~Elizabeth

Daily Mass celebrated by our own priests was very special and touching. ~Elaine

This tour was everything and more. ~Rena

Our guide and assistant were excellent, great people, personalities, kept us on time so we did not miss a thing, well informed providing us with a wealth of information. It was my pleasure to meet you, including Ilaria.(I was very impressed with this Roman woman’s knowledge of the history of Rome. The first time I heard her say "we Romans" caught me off guard, but it brought into focus where we were and when. ~Barbara

The guide was excellent. A lot of information was provided. The assistant was great as well. I believe that with the size of our group, it was great that Mick was available to help out. We loved having both of you to show us a great time. ~Rena

You and your assistant did a fantastic job. ~JoAnn

I thought our guides were very patient with us and quite knowledgeable. ~Nidia

The guides and assistant guide were knowledgeable and very helpful. ~Gloria

I think that you provided a lot of information both prior to our arrival and while we were on site. ~Rena

You did an outstanding job!!! ~JoAnn

At first I thought I would get tired of all the churches; but I didn’t. Of course my pastor makes every Mass so special. I like the fact that they were other groups at some of our Masses; it really felt like the universal church. ~Nidia

I feel more responsible for and interest in my relationship with God. I never expected to go to Italy because my husband doesn’t have an interest. This was a beautiful gift God gave to me. I would definitely go again. ~Kathy

Without a doubt we’ve grown spiritually! ~Darlene

It is hard to pick out a specific favorite memory because the whole trip was awesome. Having the opportunity to ride the train from Rome to Assisi was a favorite time. ~Elizabeth

The highlight for me is that we had our own priests and Mass everyday! ~Carole

Mass with the Pope was the highlight for me. ~Patty

No way you could have used my time more efficiently. ~Marc

The first sight of the Vatican in the early morning and the realization that I was at the central point of my Catholic faith was awesome. Seeing the Eucharistic miracles that I had not heard of or had never expected to see and the relics of the crucifixion. After leaving the crucifixion relics we went into the room that had the copy of the Shroud of Turin There was a life size crucifix at the end of the room.  It was not particularly well done and worn but on first sight, almost brought me to my knees. Lost in the moment I didn’t even think to look at the shroud. ~Kathy
