Your trip includes...
* 8 Days & 7 Nights *
touring Rome & Assisi with Lino Rulli and Tom Leopold
Lino Rulli and comedy-writing legend Tom Leopold will be your hosts, part time guides, fellow travelers and dining companions all week!
* 7 Nights of Deluxe Hotel Accommodations*
You'll travel in style and stay in some of Lino's favorite hotels in Rome and Assisi.
* Daily Mass *
Daily Mass will be celebrated by Fr. Mike Liliedahl at incredible churches. Fr. Mike is a priest from California, a longtime friend, and has done several pilgrimages with Lino.
* Visits Iconic Landmarks & Holy Sites *
We'll visit some of Rome's true highlights including St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, St. Mary Major and the tomb of Pope Francis, St. John Lateran, and more! In Assisi you'll visit the churches of St. Francis and St. Clare and get to see the San Damiano Cross. And in all these places you'll have free time to explore on your own.
* 6 Dinners & 3 Lunches *
It's Lino's favorite restaurants, so you'll love the food (and unlimited wine at all meals). While most people go on pilgrimage for the churches and faith... it's the meals and making new - oftentimes lifelong - friends that are a hallmark of all our pilgrimages.
* All Tips & Gratuities *
No hidden costs, extra fees, or changes to the final price like many pilgrimages.
IS THIS TRIP FOR YOU?
Do you listen to The Catholic Guy Show?
​This pilgrimage has been created for listeners of The Catholic Guy Show. Lino will be your host and part time guide the entire week and he'll be accompanied by comedy-writing legend and regular on the show, Tom Leopold. If you're a fan of the show, and have always wanted to see Italy with Lino, this is the trip for you.
Are you in decent shape?
This pilgrimage involves a LOT of walking. With so much to see and do, there are long days without much down time, but we promise it will be worth it! You should plan on walking several miles a day; up and down hills, stairs and uneven pavement. If you or your plus-one would have trouble with this, this isn't the trip for you.
Do you like to have fun?
It's a pilgrimage, so of course there will be plenty of faith. We also have LOTS of fun. Lunches, dinners and even on the bus, you should plan on laughing along the way. This isn't a retreat. This will be fun! Sourpusses need not apply.
