Pay your respects and learn some fascinating history during this private 10-hour trip from Sorrento, Salerno, or Naples to the town of San Giovanni Rotondo in Puglia, where the Shrine of Padre Pio is located.
You will visit the Convent with Cell of Padre Pio, the Crucifix, the old Crypt where he was buried until 2004, the Church of St Mary Delle Grazie and at the end the New Church opened in 2008 and dedicated to Him. The New Church was designed by the famous architect Renzo Piano and is built on two levels: the ground floor is the real Church, the lower floor is a smaller Church decorated with beautiful mosaics and inside the Altar in a glass coffin rest the remain of Padre Pio.

Very good driver (Philip) knows a lot about Padre Pio and San Giovani Rotondo. Also recommends a good restaurant after going to the church. Very satisfied about the tour.

It was my dream to one day visit San Giovanni Rotondo, to see Padre Pio, to visit his shrine, to see his cell, and to see the hospital he built.
The Private Day Trip to San Giovanni Rotondo with Filippo made that happen! From the time the booking was made, Filippo had excellent communication with all my questions regarding the trip, since we had to be back on the cruise ship in Naples at a certain time. This was Filippo’s first time to drive a family from a cruise ship to San Giovanni Rotondo. Since we were under time constraints, we made sure we were one of the first ones off the ship. Filippo drove us to San Giovanni Rotondo and dropped us off by the shrine. He fetched us when we were finished, and brought us back to the port on time!
Thank you, Filippo for being a very professional, nice and honest person to work with! But, most especially, for making my dream in visiting Padre Pio come true!
I would highly recommend this trip!
