All Saints Travel Traveller Reviews

THIS WAS AN 8-DAY PILGRIMAGE TO ITALY, FOR THE 2025 JUBILEE YEAR. THE TRIP INVOLVED THREE DAYS IN ROME, TO ENTER THROUGH THE HOLY DOORS OF EACH OF THE FOUR MAJOR BASILICAS, AS WELL AS TO CLIMB THE HOLY STAIRS AT THE BASILICA OF ST. JOHN LATERAN. WE TRAVELLED NORTH, VISITING THE SANCTUARY OF ST. RITA IN CASCIA, AND SPENT A DAY IN ASSISI, AT THE BASILICAS OF ST. CLARE AND ST. FRANCIS, AND AT THE TOMB OF THE SOON-TO-BE ST. CARLO ACUTIS. WE ENDED THE PILGRIMAGE AT THE SHRINE OF ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL, IN PUGLIA, AND AT THE TOMB OF PADRE PIO, IN SAN GIOVANNI ROTONDO. THIS WAS QUITE SIMPLY AN EXCELLENT PILGRIMAGE - IT LEFT A LASTING SPIRITUAL IMPRINT UPON THE GROUP OF 31 PILGRIMS, ALL OF WHOM WERE DELIGHTED. THE VARIETY OF THE TRIP MEANT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. THE ITINERARY WAS FULL WITHOUT BEING OVERLOADED. THE ORGANISATION WAS FIRST-RATE. THE TOUR DIRECTORS AND GUIDES WERE WELL-PREPARED, AND THE HOTELS SPECIALLY CHOSEN FOR OUR NEEDS. AS THE SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR OF THE GROUP, I WAS PRIVILEGED TO ASSIST THE GROUP ON WHAT WAS A TRULY UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE FOR THEM.

ALLSAINTS TRAVEL IS A FAMILY-RUN COMPANY, BASED IN SWINDON, THAT OFFERS A HUGE NUMBER OF PILGRIMAGES TO DIVERSE LOCATIONS ALL AROUND THE WORLD. I HAVE BEEN THE SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR ON SEVERAL PILGRIMAGES FOR THEM, AND I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH THEIR ATTENTION TO DETAIL, VALUE FOR MONEY, AND THEIR CARE FOR THE PILGRIMS’ NEEDS - BOTH BEFORE AND DURING THE TRIP. I HAVE NO HESITATION IN RECOMMENDING THEM TO ANYONE.

I led a pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome, along with my brother priest Fr Neil peoples. There we'er 47 pilgrims in the group, from the age of 8 to 80+. We had planned the pilgrimage for the Canonisation of Blessed Carlo Acutis way back in December 2024. Sadly, with the death of our beloved Pope Francis, our pilgrimage changed into a different mode. Non the less we had an amazing time. Instead of a Canonisation we were present for Pope Francis' Funeral. All Saints staff team were just awesome! Nothing was too much for the team. They communicated every change and kept me up to date and were so caring for the health and wellbeing of all the pilgrims. They wanted to know that the pilgrims were enjoying their experiences of both Assisi and Rome. The blessings continue to flow following since we returned home. All Saints well done each and every one of you! Keep up your hard work in giving so many people a wonderful experience of enjoying a truly blessed pilgrimage. Peace Fr John Joseph Martin🙏

All Saints Team, we'er truly first class, ensuring that they pulled out all stops to accommodate the various changes we had to face, with the with the ajustmets to our schedual due to the planning and preparing for Pope Francis Funeral.

One word Brilliant

Dragon was amazing, from the airport on the first day, great story telling.

Our tour guide were so friendly especially Dragan and our hotel the service was great .

Dragan was very engaging throughout the pilgrimage cant recommend him enough

A spiritually uplifting experience. Despite the sad death of the Pope and our plans having to change, we were kept fully informed. Our local tour guides were excellent, and their advice meant we were able to be at the funeral. The accommodation was superb. It was all wonderful. Highly recommend this firm.

Professional. Easy to contact and talk to. Excelllent.

A pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome, which was well organised and dealt with unexpected changes to the itinerary. Tour guide Natalie was extremely helpful and felt like part of the group.

Good communication and well planned itinerary

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.
