“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!”

“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.”
