Padre Pio's Shrine in San Giovanni Rotondo Private Tour from Rome
By Rome Italy Explora Srls
About
San Giovanni Rotondo is famous all over the world as the native city of St. Pio (known as Padre Pio) of Pietrelcina, and as the city where the venerated monk worked his miracles. Pio was beatified in 2002. In the Capuchin Monastery Padre Pio received the stigmata in 1918, and there where all those supernatural events that led to his sainthood and canonization took place as well. Visiting this Monastery and viewing the chambers where St. Pio conducted his life means jumping into a context of spirituality and mysticism; it is a destination that the devout and tourists alike should make every effort to visit.

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.Read more

About the operator
- jonoQ2029KX00A wonderful and moving experience!Our family of 5 from the US booked this trip as an excursion for a day to get out of busy Rome. A beautiful trip to the more rural Adriatic side of Italy. Two deeply moving spiritual sites that cannot be expressed with words. Francesco and Roberto took amazing care of us for the day and also sprinkled in some walks of the local towns along the way, local food (amazing arrosticini!!), and other surprises we appreciated. Thank you both again for a wonderful day!!
- 20aldab00A great to end Italy tripI could never have imagined a more beautiful experience from our recent day trip to Assisi and Cascia. A BIG Grazie to our tour host Juliana and her team Roberto, Rita and Madelina for their fantastic effort. They were tireless, very patient, friendly, considerate and made us feel special and like family all day long. Juliana and Roberto plus their excellent tour guides provided such a great insight into the history/story of the three saints. They allowed us to venerate, meditate, pray and connect with the peace of St Francis, St Claire and St Rita. So much to see, so many little things we never knew and learned with constant pleasant surprises at every turn make this tour into a life changing experience. This was one of the greatest tours my mum and I had in Italy. I highly recommend booking this luxury tour to Assissi and Cascia.
- TravelorsRock00Excellent Gem with Impressionist too!We spent two hours in this museum and enjoyed every bit of it. There have a wonderful grouping of lions sculptures on the steps as you enter. It looks like a pride lounging. I wanted to pet them. Inside there was a notable set of dog sculpture that looks to be in a tussle. There were many Spanish impressionist painting as well as a Van Gogh, two Courbets, a few Rodins and a single Cezanne. The rest of the museum had wonderful juxtaposition between modern and classic. Often we would look through the rooms to see a classical sculpture next to very modern pieces. Loved it. There is a nice cafe with table service. There of course were bathrooms, downstairs, and lockers for your backpack. There is a bus/tram stop right out front. Definitely worth a few hours of time!
- C8259JIdianar00Mystical & Peaceful..I recommend taking a tour to make sure to visit the Chapel and the modern Church! A beautiful Mural Mosaic story telling comparative between Saint Francis of Assisi and Padre Pio not to be missed🙏🏼
- JACKI8800Above and Beyond Expectations!!This tour exceeded all expectations. Rosanna was an amazing guide who went above and beyond to make our experience a once in a lifetime opportunity. This trip was a personal pilgrimage for my 84 year old mother. Rosanna was able to secure us a private tour of the monastery, an audience with one of the sisters, with whom she could share her personal experiences with St Rita, and a first hand look at a new relic gifted to the basilica. My mother will never forget this trip. Her joy brings tears to my eyes whenever I think about it. And the trip to Roccaporena was the icing on the cake. Thank you Rosanna!!!
- Vin W00An absolute must if you go to Capri - 10/10.We had an incredible time on the tour. Our tour guide, Mario, was amazing the entire time. He listened to our wishes, took us to fantastic places and gave us an insight into the sights at Capri. We highly recommend the tour and Mario as the guide. 10/10.
- sofiau93800Amazing!!!What an amazing and unforgettable experience we had with Rome Italy Explora. We spent three full days with Bianca, the most amazing tour guide, to Capri one day, Amalfi the next day, and ended at the Colosseum on the last. Our trip to Rome would have not been the same without theses experiences and amazing hospitality. We learned so much from Bianca and shared so many great memories as a family together! We hope to make it back to Italy soon and share more great memories with Explora.
- sofandhertravels00Catacombs, Colosseum, and Roman Forum Private TourThe Catacombs, Colosseum, and Roman Forum were some of the landmarks that we were so excited to see when visiting Rome. The private tour of each was phenomenal and so insightful! We learned so much history while being taken care of through the private transport between locations and while on the tour. What an amazing experience!
- MuVass00Great discovery of CasciaVeronica was so nice, patient and knowledgeable! The driver, Andrea, was great too! We really had a lovely time
- SISimmons00The Papal Visit was amazing!Rosanna and Bianca were absolutely amazing! Couldn’t have gone smoother and had the best seats available thanks to them. It was a 10/10 for sure and highly recommend. Their customer service is superb.
- Departure42260500Great guide on trip to Capri from Rome.I have nothing but great things to say about this tour. Tour guide Bianca picked us up at our hotel early in the morning (she was in lobby when we came down) and escorted us to a luxury van with plenty of room for the 3 of us that was waiting to take us to Naples. The driver was great, very focused and we felt safe during the ride. They purchased ferry tickets to Capri so we didn’t have to stand in line or figure out what type of tickets to purchase. Upon our arrival in Capri, she had a car waiting to take us on a tour to Anacapri. We hung out there and then took the tram up to the top where the view was spectacular. Bianca stood in the long line and bought those tickets while we sipped a cocktail and watched the sights. After taking the car back down to the harbor, she escorted us to a private boat to tour the island from the water. We went around the island, and stopped and pulled into several grottos which the island is famous for. After the boat tour, we went into the town area and sat at a waterside restaurant. The people that worked there knew Bianca and were all smiles when they saw her. Then we started the trip home, finishing a truly wonderful day. Bianca was FABULOUS. She was always smiling, was very friendly, spoke English very well as she shared facts along the way and just made the day for us. She did all the thinking and legwork so we could just enjoy and experience everything. No concerns, no worries, no figuring anything out, no language barriers - everything was done for us, and done with a smile. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone, and suspect that any other tours that Bianca is involved in will be a similar and wonderful experience. Ciao!
- mfrq00Just perfect!!It all went really well. Rosaria picked us up at the hotel and we went to the Vatican. The entrance went really smoothly and with the blessing help from Rosaria, Rossana and their incredible team we were able to get front seat rows. Better was impossible. They all were really kind and gentle with my mother, who has 87 years old and always dreamed to attend the Papal Audience. Again, better was impossible! I truly recommend it!!
- happymama197100Beautiful afternoon in Tivoli!We enjoyed our tour very much. Tivoli is a 45 minute drive from Rome. They accommodated our timing and the driver and guides were wonderful!
- frankcJ1615GN00Once in a lifetime experience!Such an amazing experience that exceeded all of my expectations! In the morning Rosario our amazing guide for the papal visit greeted us with a big smile at our hotel with a car waiting for me and my friend. Rosaria was extremely knowledgeable about the Vatican and the areas of Rome and gave us amazing tips on the way to the papal mass. When we arrived to Vatican City we were able to skip the line and had the best view of the pope. The whole experience was unforgettable and something I will cherish forever. The tour company was amazing in handling everything and our guide Rosaria made everything so much more pleasant and amazing! I would not miss this while visiting rome!
- veronica a00Amazing!!!Amazing experience!!! Thank you soooo much to everyone especially Veronica, Rossana and Bianca. Words cannot simply describe pure joy.

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!

Amazing day with Luigi and Rossana up in San Giovanni Rotondo. My brother and I were doing a pilgrimage through a few sacred sites in Italy, so Rossana made sure to reserve time for Mass and prayer in addition to observation of the incorrupt body of St. Padre Pio. We had time to visit his "cella" (apartment we're he lived), and the convent and old church we're he preached. Precious opportunity, amazing views. We had lunch at a local restaurant with super good food before heading back to Rome. Recommend this trip to anyone who wants to have a taste of Italy's Adriatic Coast and explore the mistery of a blessed mystic saint of modern times. Professionally handled by Rome Italy Explora, I recommend it highly.

Hi there my husband and I will be in Rome in October and I was wondering if you guys only pick up from Rome or are there other locations? I will be in Sorrento which I think is closer than Rome?

I am wondering about a private tour for 5 from Rome to San Giovanni with a stop at Monte Sant Angelo. I see this option from Naples but not Rome. How much would this be from Rome?
