It was a very busy trip. I would have loved more bathroom breaks! So much was jammed in a day that there was little time to savor what we were seeing. Also, there was a great deal of time in between meals. I do understand that this is a pilgrimage - focus on austerity and fasting. The accommodations were good. I am not used to the European way. I would have loved a breakdown of the charges for incidentals in the room. Or, at least let us know this is not the custom. The meals were excellent. I have not enjoyed food so much in years! The tour guides were very informative and knowledgeable. I wish I could have documentation of all they told us. The tour guides presented the information in fun ways that helped us relate. Our main tour host, Roberto was excellent and very patient with us. Because this was a pilgrimage, I wish we began and ended each day in prayer. I did appreciate the prayers included in the Cloverdale information. I continue to pray about this trip asking God to help me focus on what He wants for me to learn to grow my faith.

Really enjoyed seeing so much that Rome has to offer. Great guides and friendly fellow pilgrims. Sites were truly inspiring. The food exceeded expectations. Father John is the best! Highly recommend.

It was a wonderful Pilgrimage. Terrific group of people, good lodging, food, guides and services. Special thanks to our hosts for making the trip a holy experience. Thank you, Joe &Kate
