"Thanks so much for your assistance for our Marian Pilgrimage. We all had a great time travelling to various churches and places. Guides were very knowledgeable, helpful and hospitable. Driver, John, was a very good, friendly, helpful and safe driver. All the tour guides in different places were very knowledgeable and helpful. Hotels we stayed at were very clean, comfortable, and the food was very good as well. Masses we celebrated in different churches were good choices and very satisfying. Thanks very much for all the arrangements that you have made for us. From the time we arrived in Lisbon and the time we left from Barcelona, we were well taken care of. Our guide, Jose, was very good and I would highly recommend the groups to have him. Very Satisfied. Hotels stay, tour guides, food, bus ride, churches visited, places visited, all were very good. I enjoyed travelling with Unitours and will certainly recommend to other priests. Thanks for all that you have done.”

Have a blessed day.

"Just a note of deep gratitude for your responsiveness and help getting my group to Iberia and back! Gregory, our salesperson, and Our Tour manager, were extraordinary. It was smooth sailing all the way. I so appreciated Unitours allowing the extra trip to Muxia, on the coast of Spain without extra cost. It was very meaningful to all. Email correspondence with Unitours employees was always quick and helpful. Thank you for a great trip."

"Seeing the Bleeding Eucharist and hearing the details of the Miracle was a very moving experience. That experience changed how I receive the Most Precious Body of Christ forever. 6am Mass at the Grotto in Lourdes was incredible as well. Montserrat is so beautiful and peaceful."

"Lourdes-Mass at the Grotto; Eucharistic miracle; Monserrat-the beauty of God’s creation were al spiritual experiences that stood out. Jose’, our Tour Manager, was always responsive to our needs. He went out of his way to find distilled water for my medical equipment. He walked to find a pharmacy which was quite a distance from our hotel with several pilgrims that had medical needs. He translated each of our needs to the pharmacist and walked us back to our hotel. I was so impressed with his attention and response to our needs."

"The Eucharistic Procession at Fatima and the Eucharistic miracle display at St Stephens were especially spiritual to me."

"This is my third pilgrimage with Unitours, and I have always been pleased. I have not used another tour company in that I have always been very happy with Unitours, and if I do one last pilgrimage (to Italy, perhaps), I will definitely be giving Unitours a call! I would recommend them to anyone.”

"We had a fantastic time! The trip was well put together, and the group really enjoyed it and found it meaningful. I am very likely to recommend Unitours to another Priest. Likely next year or the year after I will host another Pilgrimage with Unitours."

"To actually to see Daniel, our Tour Manager, participate in Mass was an especially spiritual moment. He talks the talk and walks the walk. Carlos was an awesome driver. When I chose to stay behind in the bus, he was genuinely concerned for me!"

"We absolutely loved our guide, Daniel, and our driver, Carlos. Daniel went out of his way to make it a memorable experience! Carlos was so very kind and helpful as well. Thank you!"

"Thank you for a well-planned itinerary and the wonderful guides along the way."

"In Lourdes, the concelebrated mass at the grotto was so special. We were also blessed to be there during the time of the international military procession. Which added to our experience. Over 17,000 military personal and bands from all over were there Celebrating the Catholic experience. The chapels where we celebrated our group masses were so intermittent for us.”

"Paola was an Amazing Tour Guide. She was helpful and down to earth. Mariana was so accommodating! Molto Grazie, for getting me on the tour. Father Richard and the other pilgrims were welcoming and caring!"
