GetYourGuide traveler – New ZealandJune 12, 2023 – Verified booking
The driver was very efficient in communicating with me, both when I booked in New Zealand and just before the trip. He arrived before the scheduled time and gave interesting comments on landscape on the drive to and from the sanctuary. He came into the sanctuary with me when I arrived as I do not speak Italian, to ensure I had everything I needed to enjoy the visit. I have wanted to see La Verna for a long time, and after my group pilgrimage was cancelled, this driver service enabled me to do that.

Excelente service. La Verna is a must go place for those searching for Saint Francis of Assisi’s history. A very special and peaceful place. The driver was kind enough to let us spend a lot of free time there - about 5 hours. There is also a place to eat there (good food).
