In Orvieto, venerate the Eucharistic Miracle of Bolsena and tour one of Italy’s most magnificent Gothic cathedrals. In Assisi, pray at the tomb of St. Francis and walk the medieval streets where St. Clare gave up everything to follow Christ. Five nights in Rome near the Vatican. Two nights in a religious guesthouse in Assisi’s centro storico. Professional Catholic guides, a ProRome Tour Manager, private motorcoach, audio headsets, all entrance fees, gratuities, and seven group meals — including a celebratory Easter Sunday lunch.
