★★★★★

“Went on a pilgrimage to Fatima, Lourdes, and a portion of the Camino as part of a group from Real Life Catholic. I have to say, the experience exceeded my expectations. Our local guides were authentically Catholic and extremely knowledgeable. … Very meaningful, profoundly faith-filled, and the absolute best way to deepen your spiritual life!”

“Max from Canterbury Pilgrimages put together an excellent trip. We saw so many amazing sights. Everything was on time and well done, from the hotels to the food, to the places we visited, everything went off without a hitch. … It was so nice not to have to worry about any details, they took care of everything!”

“Incredible experience from boarding the plane to the very end of this pilgrimage. Each detail so thoughtfully planned out. … Felt safe, cared for and no missed steps. I had no idea what to expect since this was a first time adventure. It checked every box and then some!”

“I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an experience beyond that of the typical tourist. As a Catholic yearning to know about the faith, the trip was deeply satisfying. … Our local guide, Theresa, was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly a devoted Catholic. And the attention to detail by Canterbury as far as the itinerary, hotels and meals was terrific.”

“So much caring support given to me and each of the other individually. I had several connection issues that were due to air line issues. In each instance they stayed in contact with me until I was picked up and where I needed to be. … Each site was thought out about why and how to pray there.”

“We went on a traditional pilgrimage with Taylor Marshall … The trip was well organized, bus drivers were excellent drivers and daily mass was the highlight of our day in addition to all the wonderful pilgrimage sites we visited … If I had to do this over again, I would gladly do this with the same company.”

“This was the trip of a lifetime and excellent customer service. I had an emergency at home that required me to leave earlier than expected. Max was excellent and understanding on helping me get home without disruption and spent a lot of time organizing my logistics.”

“We started in Rome. Moving on to Monte Cassino, San Giovanni Rotondo, Assisi, Florence, and ending in Venice. Incredible sites with beautiful Churches. … Two weeks flew by. I would definitely recommend a pilgrimage. Everything you can imagine and more.”

“Also really grateful for your detailed care for my vegetarian needs by informing ahead of time at each place we stayed. Thank you for taking care of the day to day details, leaving all of us free to focus on prayer and spiritual growth so we may return home and share His love with our families and friends.”

“After planning a Pilgrimage with Canterbury and getting just weeks away from departure, my health forced me to cancel the tour. … When I notified Canterbury, Tamara Berti, she was very helpful and even submitted the claim for me after I sent her all my medical documentation, etc. Today, just days after the submission, I received notice that I will be reimbursed fully.”

“Canterbury has even taken the trouble to adjust a previously arranged hotel-to-airport transfer for me on the last day of my trip to better suit my flight time, and I didn’t even need to ask them to do it. Little details like that matter.”

Rachel C.Italy with Dr. Taylor Marshall · 2026
★★★★★

“This is the first time I will participate in a pilgrimage with Canterbury Pilgrimages. So far, I have had excellent communication/help with the travel representatives. Tamara has been quick to answer all my questions and put me at ease with all my fears of travelling solo.”

From group leaders

Priests and parish leaders

Priests and parish staff who organized group pilgrimages with us.

“Working with Canterbury has consistently been a positive experience for me and for my pilgrimage participants and Parishioners. Customers service is always available and there are Canterbury representatives on the ground in major cities around the world. The guides have always been top notch and importantly faithful believers.”

Fr. Andrew JonesPriest and pilgrimage leader

“Canterbury Pilgrimages is excellent! They are professional and prompt in responding to any and all needs and concerns. I have led two pilgrimages that they have curated, and both were flawless.”

Fr. Peyton PlessalaPriest and pilgrimage leader

“As a group leader, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. … our pilgrimage consultant at Canterbury guided us step by step, making it easy for our parish to focus on the spiritual side of the journey instead of the logistics. … when planning we got prices from numerous pilgrimage companies and Canterbury offered the most affordable and inclusive rates on the market.”

Greg L.Parish group leader, Italy

“When Father Rolyn Francisco, pastor of Christ the King Parish in Mesa, AZ, asked me to organize a pilgrimage to Italy … I immediately contacted Max of Canterbury Pilgrimage, because I knew he wouldn’t disappoint me, and he didn’t. It was a truly authentic Catholic pilgrimage … I encourage other Catholic parishes to book with Canterbury for their next pilgrimage.”
