tour of Lourdes - I am sure the tour was excellent, unfortunately we were not able to join due to Iberia losing our luggage. Although we found it to be in Cairo, it was too late for us to continue the trip and decided to return to NY. We are going back to Lourdes and definitely will book with you as you are the best. Thank you all the same.

The journey to lourdes - Stayed in Lourdes with Biancoviaggi Everything organized in detail departure from Florence Toulouse airport not recommended because you have to take another 3 hours by bus to get to Lourdes Toulouse airport are very scrupulous they made us pay for hand luggage because they had to be put in the hold I recommend prefer direct airports to Lourdes you also earn an extra day of hotel

Informative & flexible experience - Laura (I hoped I spelt it right) was extremely knowledgeable, giving us lots of insights and information, and always open to answering our questions. She was also patient and flexible with us. I was with my mum, who can't walk too much or too fast and she was always mindful of that, taking it slow and ensuring we take the best possible paths.

Great way to experience Lourdes. - Our guide, Lauri, was very good. She was engaging as she told stories of Bernadette and her family during the time of her apparitions. We were there while several masses were going on so we could not go into the Grotto. I would recommend this private tour to anyone interested in the history or Bernadette and Lourdes.
