Chiesa di San Pio

After the death of Padre Pio, the Saints friars thought of constructing new church, because it is too sensitive to the material and spiritual needs of the devotees, the existing church could not contain. Renzo Piano, so that it could accommodate 6,500 people. For its size it is the second largest church in Italy, after St. Peter's Church in Rome.

This was the best tour ever! Francesco and the driver were so polite and informative. Francesco made it a very special and memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you for everything we look forward to booking additional trips.

Luigi and Sabrina are the best! They made the whole day very comfortable and informative. We felt that we would not be able to experience as much without their help. They are really great! After the tour, we also booked them for the Papal Audience and Papal Blessing at the Vatican. Special shout out to Juliana and Thora for being the most amazing guides ever! We were able to get the best seats, hold Pope’s hand, and see him up close, because of them. Such a surreal and rewarding experience.

The trip with my mom to visit Padre Pio in San Giovanni was truly unforgettable. Giuliana and Luigi provided exceptional service, ensuring our every need was met. Giuliana's knowledge enriched the tour, making it highly informative. Spending the day with them was a genuine pleasure. The incredible drive and scenic views added an extra layer of unforgettable beauty to the experience. We highly recommend Giuliana and Luigi for your next tour.

Francesco (tour guide) and Luigi (driver) were great! The round trip was enjoyable and punctuated by a beautiful and varied landscape from mountains to vineyards. Francesco was very knowledgeable and knew his way all around San Giovani Rotundo. We especially liked that he asked us what was on our list of things to see. A great experience!

Taking this tour was a last minute decision for us - no regrets!!! As a matter of fact, the tour was priceless. I brought my mom to Europe for The Pope, Lourdes and Padre Pio. Rosanna and her team did everything to make us comfortable. They made sure the car was comfortable, she made sure we made frequent stops for snacks and toilet. She made us feel like family in Italy! Thank you so much Rosanna. We will definitely be back! PRICELESS!

This Adventure was delayed 2 years by COVID. We kept in touch with Rossana, through Viator and made this fantastic tour a few days ago. My wife’s wish was to make this pilgrimage to her Patron Saint’s Shrine. Padre Pio played a major role in our lives during recovery of several health situations. We concluded that Rossana’s Tour was the Best and possibly the only reasonable way to make this journey. We at first thought the trip was pricey, but looking back Rossana’s Personal Tour was priceless. Picking you up at the Hotel, Rosanna introduces Luigi, your driver for the day. He is an excellent pilot! She then explains that her intention is to show us a most special day visiting Padre Pio’s Shrine and other Pertinent Sites. Actually, Rossana provided a carefully choreographed experience meeting our expectations perfectly. Following the religious/spiritual and emotional happening of viewing Padre Pio, one connects with the Padre’s life and after death. The harmony throughout was very meaningful. Rossana was amazing throughout showing appropriate empathy and continuing the storylines concluding with a beautiful late lunch at Tia Daniele Restorante. I could go on, but simply put we appreciate Rossana and the Driver Luigi for the total, never to be forgotten, experience!

It was always our great desire to be able to pray on the tomb of Padre Pio and, finally thanks to this tour we were able to fulfill it. Rosanna our guide was always with us and followed us step by step during the day, with her explanations and her continuous assistance. We were able to attend Mass, visit the crypt where Padre Pio's body rests and visit the museum. Our driver Luis was very good. The view along the road was beautiful. I recommend this tour to the devotees of the Saint

My mom had requested to visit Europe for her 70th birthday.  We didn't have the resources to travel until recently so I wanted to make this a memorable trip for her, while still on a budget.  Fortunately for us, we were able to do it it January 2020, before the covid pandemic took hold of the world. As I was researching and booking tours, I met Rossana.  She was very communicative and informative, and I ended up booking three private tours with her: (1) Roman Basilicas, (2) Padre Pio and St. Michael the Archangel Sanctuary, and (3) Assisi and Cascia.  She even helped me navigate how to attend an audience with my mom and the Pope. Rossana and Luigi treated us like family!  They met us promptly in Rome, picking us up and dropping us off at our hotel.  They brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers to celebrate my mom's birthday, which my mom later left for Padre Pio.  They were very accommodating to my mom's mobility needs and provided a wheel chair.  At all times, I felt my mom was safe in their care. Rossana was very knowledgeable and conveyed her knowledge about every location we went.  It was clear that she is passionate about Italy, it's culture, and it's history.  The Roman Basilica tour was a great way to see an overview of the city as well. One of the benefits of the private tours was being able to stay in an area as long as we wanted, which also gave us time to pray when we visited my mom's favorite saint, Padre Pio, and my favorite saint, St. Francis of Assisi.  It also meant we had the opportunity to eat at some delicious family-run restaurants. On our journey to visit St. Francis, St. Claire, and St. Rita, we bumped into a church group visiting from Naples, first helping them take group photos and then as we prepared for evening mass at Cascia.  Rossana was incredible, stepping in to interpret for us.  When we met again at a gas station on our way back to Rome, we made plans to visit them in Naples and Rossana agreed to be our guide. I cannot thank Rossana and Luigi enough for making my mom's birthday truly an enjoyable and memorable one!  We cannot wait to go back and see Naples with Rossana and Luigi when it is safe to do so!
