If we select this tour, will it be private? Can we decide the dates? Also what will be the price per person?

The tour in question is a group tour accommodating 42 to 50 travellers. If you're seeking a private tour, we can explore the possibility of personalization with Cosmos. If they are unable to accommodate a private tour, TourRadar would be happy to assist you in finding other tour options in Italy on our platform. Please note that pricing per person will vary based on the private tours we identify.

Is it better to travel in September or October for this tour and is it better to go Cosmos or Collette, we're comparing this with Collette Shrines of Italy and want something easy physically but good hotels.

You are more than welcome to call us in regards to this tour.

We are interested in the Oct 18 - Oct 26th pilgrimage (Spiritual Highlights of Italy). We understand it is sold out but is there a way to be placed on a waiting list?

Unfortunately we are not able to waitlist our land tours.

The local tour guides at each location were very knowledgeable and personable. We could not have experienced as much as we did had we tried to do this on our own.

Overall this trip was on the low side of excellent. I understand that my trip a more specialised itinerary, but 46 people was too many. Our tour director was constantly trying to wrangle people, and by the time he had found everyone, the first few had wandered off. This was not the fault of the director, but rather the time needed to account for everyone. This tour should be capped around 30. Also, there was too much planned for Rome, either an extra day should be added or something taken out of the schedule. Two optional excursions in one day is too much. Once we left Rome, the pacing was much better, except the number of people. The couple of time when tours were given with the group split was much better.Show more

  Yes, I really like everything about this tour. The only concern is that my group would prefer not to be part of a large group. They are looking for a more personalized experience. If a private or more customized option is available, I would love to receive more information, including the price per person and the commission.
