About this tour

This walking pilgrimage takes you through some of Rome's most architecturally significant churches, each layered with theological meaning and centuries of worship. You'll move between sites with transport provided, allowing time to absorb the spiritual and artistic heritage of each basilica without the logistical strain of navigating the city independently.

What to expect
Expect a contemplative day moving methodically between churches rather than a rushed sightseeing sprint. Your guide will contextualise each basilica within St. Philip Neri's life and the broader Catholic tradition, explaining the art, architecture and spiritual purpose of the spaces. You'll have genuine time to sit, observe and pray at each location. The route covers considerable ground across Rome, but transport bridges the gaps between stops, so you're not exhausted before reaching the final churches. Bring water and comfortable shoes; the interiors are cool but some walking on Roman streets is unavoidable.
Good to know
Modest dress is expected—cover shoulders and knees out of respect for active worship spaces. Some churches may have Mass or services; your guide will navigate around these. Lunch is not provided; plan a break or bring provisions. Wheelchairs and prams are accommodated, though some older churches have uneven floors.
