All Saints Travel Traveller Reviews

Santiago de Compostela beautiful , stayed at st Lorenso hotel, lovely hotel, but the food was horrible, our waiter Angelo, was kind and tried to make our mealtimes pleasant. a good man 🌟 Fátima was excellent all the way What made it great pilgrimage was, we were like a large family Our driver Ramon was a lovely man.

Well organised

Our pilgrimage started on a flight from Los Angeles to London Gatwick Airport. After a few days in Horley (Gatwick area) we boarded a flight to Porto, Portugal. We were met at the airport by our guide and Roman, the driver of a 24-seater van. The airport welcome started a good impression.

The tour operator was reliable and professional and very organized.

From my initial contact with Katherine early in 2023 to arrange a pilgrimage to the Holy Land last November 2023 (which sadly had to be cancelled), to the end of our alternative pilgrimage to Fatima and Santiago de Compostela in July this year, arranged by Melanie, I have been greatly impressed by their warmth, responsiveness and efficiency (which also applies to Chris and all the staff at All Saints). Everything that was detailed in our programme went to plan with a few minor hitches outside All Saints’ control (eg the delayed departure at Gatwick). On the outward flight we were so thankful to be sat close to each other that we were able to swap seats that enabled families to be together. We had a very competent driver who picked us up at Porto, took us to Santiago de Compostela, drove us to the other places in the itinerary, and finally took the group back to Lisbon airport. All our guides were very knowledgeable, particularly Fernando (at Santiago de Compostela) and Sonia (at Fatima). Our hotels were conveniently close to the shrines, particularly Domus Pacis at Fatima. I have to commend the evening meals at Domus Pacis, which were all carefully prepared from scratch, the breakfast buffet was very varied, and the one lunch that some of us had was one of the best during the whole trip. At Santiago de Compostela, some of us were very fortunate to witness the thurible being swung in the transept of the Basilica, and the Pilgrims’ Mass at which our two spiritual leaders were able to concelebrate with other priests was one of the two high points of the pilgrimage for them, the other one being able to concelebrate at the International Mass which was held in the huge square at Fatima. The visit to Finisterre, where the sky met the sea, was particularly impressive, and the lunch at Fisterra was to die for! We did not go to the restaurant recommended by our guide, and went to another one which served delicious platters of mixed seafood salad and paella. The evening Rosary and procession at Fatima was very moving – everywhere around me I could see candlelights, which later became part of the procession that followed the Cross and our Lady as it was carried around the square. All in all, the tour was a tremendous success, and everyone in the group bonded so well that we felt we were all one big family. Everyone has been asking when our next pilgrimage will be. I am now in talks with Melanie for the 2025 pilgrimage to Greece!

All Saints Travel is a very well organised, competent, efficient, responsive and honest tour operator. All my written and verbal communications with them were promptly and respectfully handled, and I have every confidence that the next pilgrimage that we arrange with them will be a resounding success.

A busy trip to several sites and cities involving three hotels in three towns. Everything well organised, especially when we were let down by the locals.

Everything always well organised and problems or 'surprises' dealt with gently and efficiently. Have used them before and will again.

Fantastic

Excellent

We have recently returned from Holy Land (August 2023). My family and I had an amazing, uplifting experience and I cannot thank enough to All Saints Travel, our tour guide Nidal and the driver and even more to our Spiritual Director, Fr. Gerry. You all were so caring, friendly and gave the extra mile for us all (31 people in the pilgrimage). Thank you so much. We will always remember this wonderful time.

They are really friendly, helpful and caring. The attention to detail is superb. I highly recommend them.

I used All Saints Travel for a pilgrimage to World Youth Day for around 50 pilgrims in August 2023. All Saints were fantastic and extremely helpful with planning and answering many of my emails and calls. They found us a fantastic hotel in Lisbon and managed the transfers and special requirements of the group. They also facilitated day trips and other requests for additional items such as room bookings, meals and day trips. I would wholeheartedly recommend All Saints Travel.

Our Tour operator are All Saints Travel and they were extremely helpful. Melanie our representative helped us throughout, sourcing many telephone calls and emails. She had excellent attention to detail in order to ensure our pilgrimage was a great success.
