5 day pilgrimage
Our 5 day tour is designed so that you do not miss your own Sunday Service.
One of the greatest highlights of the tour is to attend the Papal General Audience in St Peter’s Square, a spirited event with crowds encouraged to pray .
We also include the ancient Catacombs, an underground burial site most famous for Christian burials and the Scala Sancta, the Holy Stairs which are believed to have been brought from Jerusalem to Rome. Also we visit the Basilicas of St John Lateran, Rome’s Cathedral and the most ancient church in the world and St Mary Major, the largest church in Rome and dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
We conclude with a visit to the world-famous Sistine Chapel located inside the Vatican, one of the greatest art treasures of all time, and the Vatican Museum most notable for its Papal history and amazing art treasures.
