Customer Reviews
I really enjoyed Assisi. But, I enjoyed traveling Italy and seeing the sights
I liked the shrines, basilicas and churches. Did not enjoy the crowded Vatican Museums. As they were not worth the hassle, were not particularly religious, I recommend replacing with tour of shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help or several of the numerous religious shrines in Rome.
Shrines of Italy exceeded my expectations. The experiences were amazing. It was very well organized, from the early stages of booking to the trip itself. Davide, our tour manager, was top notch. While being on a tour has it's limitations as far as how long you can stay at a certain site, it also has it's many benefits. The trip was seamless and I would recommend this pilgrimage to any Catholic wanting to deepen their faith.
Davide was wonderful and Julio our bus driver was very professional. Seeing the sites was great especially all the churches. This is my 3rd Collette tour and I would love to do another.
Kneel up the sacred steps in time. Although the whole trip was full of experiences the tour director was helpful knowledgeable and kind. He was outstanding and as we know that person makes the trip
