Some nice features about this pilgrimage are there are only 3 hotels and not a lot of driving between locations. The longest is Genoa to Milan and is 3 hours. All the others are less than 1.5 hours. In addition to some really special holy sites, the cuisine will be terrific and the landscape of Lake Como and the Italian Riviera will be wonderful.

Please note: We do our best to ensure that all sites listed in this itinerary will be seen. However, due to scheduling conflicts, or other circumstances beyond our control, sites may be visited on a different day than listed. If this happens it will also necessitate a change in the restaurant for dinner. However, we will never sacrifice the quality of the meal, all restaurants will meet Pro Catholic Tour's very high standards. Since we have several different trip configurations touring at the same time, it is likely that groups on different tours will be combined when their itineraries overlap in certain areas.
