A NOTE FROM LINO
This Rome pilgrimage is really built for people who've been to Rome before and want to do a deep dive. Off the beaten path churches, museums, restaurants, and more. This is the way I like to see Rome: Not touring the 4 Main Basilicas (beautiful as they are), but little out of the way churches, amazing art, and lots and lots of walking! The Jewish Ghetto, Carravaggio, Borghese Museum and more are just some of the highlights we usually don't get a chance to experience when we do a Rome pilgrimage.
This is going to be a one bus trip just for people who really want to hang out with me in Rome for a week.

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. If you're a fan of the show, and have always wanted to see Italy with him, 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.
