San Giovanni Rotondo private guide: amazing spiritual experience with St. Pio
Overview
The ancient church of the mid-1500s has a very simple façade and inside it is composed of a single baroque style nave. At a second entrance to the convent is the cell of Padre Pio and the crypt where the body of Padre Pio was housed before being transferred to the nearby sanctuary.
The visit continues with the "new" church, built for the explicit desire of Padre Pio, with the intention of being able to accommodate in an appropriate manner the considerable flow of thousands of pilgrims that flowed ever more numerous to San Giovanni Rotondo.
The tour ends at the Sanctuary, designed by architect Renzo Piano, one of the largest churches in Italy, capable of holding up to 7, 000 people.

questa cattedrale dedicata a Padre Pio è un opera grandioca molto bella ma che offende per la richezza dei suoi ambienti; richezza che stride con la povertà nella quale ha vissuto il santo.

Our guide, Teresa, made our first visit to St. Padre Pio, an amazing experience! Her knowledge of each of the areas is extensive and made it beyond worthwhile! Having Teresa made our visit way more complete versus doing on own, since we would have not had the understanding necessary as first time visitors. We highly recommend her!!!! We are truly grateful for her guidance through such an amazing spiritual experience!

Indeed we had an amazing spiritual experience with St Padre Pio, through the aid of our guide Marco who went an extra mile to pick us up from our Hotel, guided us through less steeper path for our senior family members, and made us aware of Padre Pio’s life from the small chapel of Sta Maria delle Grazie to his cella’s and the Sanctuary where his body lays. Overall, excellent service from Marco.Bellissimo,regna la fede.mistico,fa pensare come la preghiera faccia smuovere tanta gente.posti meravigliosi,chiesa stupenda

Our family of 8 (parents, 6 young adults including spouse and significant other) arranged for a ride from Rome to Vieste. Over months as our plans changed, Leonardo was in constant communication and was extremely flexible and accommodating. His van was clean and comfortable and he was very efficient in our journey but also ensured our comfort. We have recommended him to friends traveling to Vieste later this month and will use him for any return trip. Highly recommend!Renata was our guide and was excellent 👍 Definitely recommended a private tour if you can. Five stars
