The Eternal City A pilgrimage to Rome is a very special journey for all of our pilgrims. This is the city that Christians from all over the globe travel to on pilgrimage. Even St Paul wrote, “I must go and see Rome.” Rome has many wondrous sights to take in and worship at, including St Peter's Basilica, Basilicas of St John in Lateran and St Paul outside the Walls, or the well-hidden Vatican Gardens. Whilst we offer a wide range of inclusive itineraries for your group to select from, we recognise that many of you have great experience of this beautiful city, and may wish for us simply to provide transport and accommodation for your group and therefore offer ‘open’ itineraries for you to choose from as well. Please remember that we are happy to tailor a pilgrimage to suit your exact requirements if you do not find what you are looking for here ? just tell us.
