"Consider coming to Rome with us."
Cost As low as $3,991 + ~$2,200 flight = $6,200/person
Honest question for all of the more erudite Rome travelers out there:
How does an average family with two adults and four young kids make a trip like this work?
I mean, yeah, leave the kids home until they get older and let them figure out a pilgrimage on their own, but how can an average middle class family with one working parent make this fit into their budgets (even just a parent's only trip)?
I see and hea…
First of all, you're right. I couldn't afford to take my family on this trip or go on it.
Second of all, if you're paying $2,200 for a flight to Rome, you're dramatically overpaying.
But I take your point: This is not a trip for everyone, and, like I said, I couldn't afford it for my family. But Pillar readers have asked us to arrange a pilgrimage like this, and some people can afford it: retired people or families doing well. And if they're going to Rome, which is a great gift, we'd invite them …
If you think about it as a per night cost, with many meals and tours and etc included, the price is a bit more palatable. But i totally get it.
