Most of the pilgrims are Senior Citizens and walking is too much, the rest of us joined the pilgrimage because we have mefical ailments to ask for healing. The tour guide at times does not recognize our request, maybe language barrier. Hotels are superb, food is good only the too much walking is my concern, Filipinos willing to join for pilgrimages tour but hearing the miles we walk they back out.
I felt rushed most of the time… too much driving…didn’t even experience Madrid!!!! Anyway
The guides were fantastic the bus was comfortable and hotel rooms were great the food was fresh but tasteless
This trip was well planned and I had such a wonderful time. My favorite part was seeing the priest from our home parish co-preside at Mass in these extraordinary cathedrals! I believe that was all possible thanks to Paxvia. Additionally, I'm extremely grateful that Paxvia went above and beyond to help me book for my additional stay in Europe after the pilgrimage was over. They made my trip very easy to manage, with little to no issues at all.
Extremely grateful for my first pilgrimage booking with Paxvia. God bless all the work that the booking agency does to make a lifetime of memories for others.
Overall we had a wonderful experience. What we didn’t like was the flight was longer than it needed to be and airline seat was very uncomfortable. Also, on the second day of our pilgrimage instead of visiting the Holy Stairs and Holy Cross sites we were guided to Trevi Fountain and Colosseum which were too far apart to walk at night. Although the staff was friendly, food selection was poor also.
I had a great time being it's my first time to be on a pilgrimage. We had a wonderful group of people mixed with different demographic, from a very young kid, young adults, middle aged up to group of seniors. Everyone showed respect to each other and protect each other. Nice hotel accommodation (could be better), some delicious food.
Spiritually, I feel deep emotions and understanding of Jesu's sacrifices. His pain and agony as nailed to the cross and dying so we all can be saved. I feel more closer to God.
