About this tour
A 10-hour private journey from Rome into Umbria that traces Saint Rita's life across two sacred towns. Your English-speaking driver navigates rolling countryside to Cascia and the hilltop village of Roccaporena, where you'll explore the sites most central to the saint's story. Travel in a climate-controlled Mercedes with WiFi and water included. This is a self-guided pilgrimage with professional support rather than a fully escorted tour—your driver provides context and logistics while you set the pace at each location.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from Rome early morning and drives you through Umbrian farmland to Cascia, stopping en route if you wish. Upon arrival, you're free to explore the town and its religious sites at your own rhythm—the driver remains available for information and coordination rather than leading a formal tour. The afternoon takes you to Roccaporena, a compact hilltop settlement, where you can wander the narrow lanes and visit locations tied to the saint's early life. The driver will brief you on the significance of each place and answer questions, but the experience is yours to shape.
Good to know
Bring lunch or eat in Cascia or Roccaporena—meals aren't included. Site entrance fees are separate. Wear comfortable walking shoes for village exploration. The driver won't accompany you into churches or museums. Allow extra time if mobility is limited; both towns have steep sections.
