    What you'll see and do

    1. Monastero di Santa Rita da Cascia

      The Basilica of Santa Rita da Cascia is a minor basilica of Cascia, belonging to the homonymous sanctuary. The mortal remains of Saint Rita are venerated inside. Rita from Cascia, born Margherita Lotti (Roccaporena, 1381 - Cascia, 22 May 1457), was an Italian nun of the eremitan monastery of Santa Maria Maddalena, beatified by Pope Urban VIII in 1628 and proclaimed Saint by Pope Leo XIII in 1900.) In the first decades of the twentieth century, the steady increase in pilgrims visiting the reliquary with the remains of Saint Rita made the old church unsuitable for hosting such a large number of people. This was how Mother Maria Teresa Fasce, today blessed, abbess of the nearby monastery of Santa Rita da Cascia where Saint Rita had lived for more than forty years, promoted the construction of a new church suited to the needs of the faithful.

    2. Roccaporena, Santuario Di Santa Rita

      Roccaporena is a fraction of the municipality of Cascia, in the province of Perugia. The village is located at a height of 707 m, at the end of a small gorge, about 6 km from Cascia. According to the Istat 2001 census data, it is inhabited by 73 residents. The town has existed since the Middle Ages, when, in 1381, Santa Rita da Cascia was born there. In 1939 the Opera di Santa Rita was founded, to promote the cult of the Saint, to cure and make known his memories to Roccaporena, and to do charitable works on his example by setting up an orphanage. The new Shrine was designed by the architect Oreste della Piana. The entrance is adorned with a portico; the interior has three naves, the apse, and the walls are adorned with mosaics. In two side chapels, there are six painted and multicolored glass windows made in 1966 by the Milanese artist Amalia Panigati. In the church, there is also the leather mantle which, according to tradition, belonged to Rita.

    Special Memories Made

    My parents and I were traveling to Rome for the Jubilee year, and given my mom’s name is Rita, a trip to St. Rita was on the list. I chose this private tour with Alessandro because I wanted to make it extra special for my mom. Alessandro was really accommodating, letting me sit in the front of the car so I don’t get car sick, and making multiple stops for my parents for their espresso needs, which was necessary as you drive through the peaceful lush mountains. My mother laughed and cried a lot during this trip, which are both good signs, indicating the pleasure of the company and how significant this trip was for her life and spiritual journey. Alessandro was such a knowledgeable guide, but to call him just a “guide” or “driver” would not give proper justice to him as a person. Alessandro is a kind man, so good with people, and he quickly grew to be a new family friend. I can’t imagine a trip to Rome in the future without seeing him! I’ll be signing up for another trip with Alessandro without a doubt. Sign up with him and don’t think twice. :)

    Response from the operator: Can't wait to meet you again dear Natalie! Please greet very warm your mom and dad from me, such lovely person! All my best wishes, hope to see you soon!!! Grazie

    A Beautiful Trip to Cascia, Santa Rita and Roccaporena

    We had a very positive and spiritually uplifting experience on that Day Trip to Cascia, Santa Rita and Roccaporena . Everything was timed perfectly. We arrived in time for the mass which we really wanted to attend while at the shrine. We were able to join the guided tour of the monastery, visit the superior and inferior basilica and the Eucharistic Miracle. We were able to pray before the incorrupt body of St. Rita. A nun who was inside the shrine was giving prayer cards and rose petals which we were able to receive. The trip was very well organized. The drive to Cascia was scenic. We drove past picturesque and charming villages. Beautiful!!! Alessandro, our driver and guide was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating. The limousine was clean, comfortable and driving was very relaxing. We had a relaxing time on our way back to Rome. Alessandro saw us sleeping😊. Water was provided on the trip and also a pamphlet to read about the places we were to visit. It rained part of the day and Alessandro offered us an umbrella to use when we went up the hill to the Garden of Miracles. Thank you so much Alessandro for your great service! We will definitely recommend this tour to friends and relatives and to anyone who has a devotion to St. Rita and to those who would like to visit Cascia and Roccaporena.

    Favorite tour of Rome

    Alessandro was an awesome tour guide! He drove us from Rome to Cascia and drove us to the very front so we wouldn’t have to walk far. He taught us about all the important sites for St.Rita. Would definitely recommend doing this tour!

    Cascia, Santa Rita and Roccaporena from Rome Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

    How much does Cascia, Santa Rita and Roccaporena from Rome Private Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cascia, Santa Rita and Roccaporena from Rome Private Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.

    Is Cascia, Santa Rita and Roccaporena from Rome Private Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cascia, Santa Rita and Roccaporena from Rome Private Day Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cascia, Santa Rita and Roccaporena from Rome Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cascia, Santa Rita and Roccaporena from Rome Private Day Tour?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cascia, Santa Rita and Roccaporena from Rome Private Day Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rome?

    +

    Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rome?

    +

    April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rome?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
