The 2 Guides, Gio and Mauro, were amazing; and very helpful giving daily link of the path we would follow, and one led for the day, but when they had confidence we could navigate independently and were experienced hikers, let us proceed ahead. But the other guide was always meeting us for coffee breaks and lunch spread and mid-day snacks in the Sag-wagon...or there to help the less experience hikers (and surprisingly, there were some of these on the trip!). Beebe walked at a slower pace, so the extra cost to experience her knowledge contributions was wasted for me. The majority of the accomodations were wonderful. I wish we would have known about the paucity of the 1st night in the monastery, I would not have chosen to stay there an extra night. And I would have brought soap! I would have liked to have known that we did not need to stay the whole lunch time and start hiking earlier, as I would have liked to have arrived before 5:30, when dinner was served at 6 - 6:30....not enough time to test and clean up.

Best experience of my life and Pilgrim Paths did a good job facilitating the journey.

We had a wonderful time being together and seeing beautiful Italy. Thank you for all you did to make the trip so special.

Thanks to Pilgrim Paths for a wonderful adventure along the Via Francigena. Our itinerary was good for our group -- 86 miles over 7 walking days, with good checkpoints and van support along the way. The evening accommodations and meals were excellent. Our guides, Giovanni and Paolo, were the best -- knowledgeable, helpful, fun! We had a group of 18, and we were all well cared for along the way. I can't imagine anything that would have made this trip a better experience for us.

I thought Id already sent. Different venue? Regardless it was a lovely solo pilgrimage supported by the services from Pilgrim Paths. There attending made the navigation the lodging and the luggage easy and managable. I then free to focus on walking and the entire experience. I traveled and completed the trip grateful and deeply moved.
