What To Expect
Lourdes
We will pick you up early in the morning and begin a 2-hour drive to Lourdes. Don’t worry the time will fly! During the journey your guide will give you an introduction of the history of the region and local traditions. Lourdes is a lovely medieval town that has become a second most significant Catholic pilgrimage site in the world after the Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous at various times in summer 1858. Since then, every year the sanctuaries of Lourdes located on the banks of the Gave de Pau river attract millions of visitors. On arrival, the guide will explain you the most important sites in Lourdes including: The Crypt, decorated with magnificent stained glass windows Basilica of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, designed Romano-Byzantine style Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and underground Basilica of St Pius X.
Sanctuaire Notre Dame De Lourdes
You’ll immerse yourself in the spiritual atmosphere of the Religious Town and visit the Massabielle Grotto where Bernadette experienced all the 18 apparitions. There is a possibility to try water from the springs or collect it in containers. During the 4-hour stay in Lourdes we will find time to discover the key sights, find time for a prayer and a mass. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes is open all year round but the ceremonies timetable varies according to the time of year so please ask us for details.

5.00It was a significant and beautiful day at Lourdes… A bit over a two hour drive from San Sebastian but all worth it. Our guide Gorka did an excellent job briefing us on all the details and made the day a memorable one. He not only shared many Interesting facts about Lourdes' history but also gave us the space needed for our own praying and meditation. What a wonderful experience it all was!
Amazing Experience!

5.00This trip was exclusively to visit Our Lady of Lourdes on our 38th wedding anniversary. Dani (Daniel) was our tour guide and he was exceptional! He arrived to our hotel on time, was courteous, friendly, very knowledgeable. Our Lady Of Lourdes was amazing and the Grotto was beautiful. This experience is life changing and having a great tour guide made it the best it could be. Thank you and highly recommend this tour with Dani.
Took about two hours to get to Lourdes, but for us we was worth the trip.
