The History of Malta

We visited many sights during our week long holiday in Malta which covered religion and it's incredible history that goes back centuries. There is so much on this island to enjoy and respect. A superb place to visit that has looked after it's history and culture for others to see and enjoy. We were very impressed with the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the island.

We travelled with Mc Cabe Pilgrimages . We have been with them once before and were aware of their ethos of their holidays, religious, which suited us. They are comfortable to travel with, which is so important. We trust their judgment on choices of where we stay and what to see.

Beautiful city, holiday marred by poor local guide and missing elements

The itinerary promised a pilgrimage including some wonderful opportunities, like prayer in private chapels. In addition the programme was packed with all the best things to see in Vienna. The reality was a holiday where the local guide had a different programme to us, and the resulting holiday while including some of the wonderful sights did not meet expectations and had a difficult atmosphere throughout

Rating for tour operator:

Tour operator appeared to do nothing to sort the problems during the holiday. Need to employ sympathetic and efficient guides for such pilgrimages.

Good planning to the minutest detail.

McCabe's 'The Trail of the Holy Family' gave us a fortnight's tour of virtually the whole of Egypt - apart from the coast and desert areas - from Cairo, up the Nile, partly by boat, to within sight of the Sudanese border, and also an add-on to Mount Sinai and St Catherine's Monastery.

This was our fourth trip on a McCabe's Pilgrimage. We have always found that they plan everything meticulously and have felt safe and well looked after. We are also provided with good accommodation and excellent guides. A lot is fitted in and we feel we have enriched our faith and seen many sites of cultural interest.

We had some problems with our travel some outside the company’s control and some not.

It was a trip to Iona we lost a day in Iona because of a ferry problem. Also a problem on the journey back to Glasgow.
