McCabe Pilgrimages Traveller Reviews

It was a great privilege taking a superb family round the Holy Land on pilgrimage.

McCabe's set up the pilgrimage for us splendidly, and Mrs. Albina in Jerusalem looked after us splendidly.

Efficiently organised by McCabe from the start. Easy transfers with their leader and ours. Turkish Guide was wonderfully informative on history, Bible and their politics - very interesting and sympathetic. Lots of travelling but we saw a lot; what a privilege to walk in the steps of the early disciples! Our Leader and the Turkish Guide made everything so relevant to today. Hotels on the whole were first calls and meals were very good. Watch out for salads which may have been washed in local water and can cause bad tummies. I feel the real benefit now that I'm home and it's all sinking in. I'm reliving it through my photos.

Always efficient, accessible, helpful with first-hand knowledge. Excellent pre-holiday information so I'm confident about travelling with them.

We visited the Seven Churches of Asia which was a wonderful experience. The tour was busy but very well worthwhile and I have some lovely memories - and found a new friend!

McCabe Pilgrimages dealt with everything in a professional and thoughtful manner. I would be more than happy to travel with them again.

Amazing opportunity not only to visit biblical sites but also to meet with local people, with a local guide and driver to inform and support the group. It really makes the Bible come alive. Time also to float in the Dead Sea, swim in the Sea of Galilee, ascend to both the Judean fortress of Masada, and the Mount of Temptation near Jericho by cable car!!!

Macabe proved to be efficient and experienced in organising the pilgrimage. Everything went smoothly, and we had a wonderful time. It was also particularly moving to visit the Boys Home supported through Macabe Educational Trust

Pilgrimage to Israel. Jerusalem sights and Galilea where Jesus walked, taught and performed miracles. Amazing country with lovely people, we felt relaxed, safe and well looked after. A vibrant and busy city with lots to see and as part of the sightseeing we went to Jerico, up a cable car,the Dead Sea, Tiberias and Capernaeum. We had a fantastic boat trip across Lake Galilea and ate the most sumptuous and plentiful meals. So happy I went.

McCabe were efficient and trustworthy. You knew you were in safe hands and they would refund all monies should anything happened that the tour would get cancelled.

Well guided first time trip to the Holy Land. I am a Christian and found the experience renewed my faith and gave me plenty of inspiration to bring the Gospel into my life.

McCabe made me feel quite safe about taking a trip of a life-time to a land of conflict.

We had an outstanding Turkish guide. Our hotels were good in themselves, but the experience in the Richmond Hotels in Pamakkule and Ephesus was not pleasant because of the very downmarket clientele and the resulting all-night noise. We spent a lot of each day on our coach, which became very uncomfortable; it would have been far better to attempt fewer sites each day and extend the holiday by a few days.

McCabe's had worked out everything extremely well - I was very impressed with their attention to detail.

It was called in the Steps of St Paul touring Greece. % hotels on 10 days touring Greece. Good hotels generally. Flights with Aegean Airways could have been better.

I was happy with the holiday/ pilgrimage and with McCabes.

We had an unforgettable time in the Holy Land. Days started busy but with plenty of time to relax in stunning situations afterward. We learnt far more than we expected about the people of the Holy Land, the spiritual truths behind its history and the unique experience of walking in the steps of Jesus. Greatly recommended.

McCabe and our experienced and sensitive tour leader and greatlocal guides knew everything that mattered! They also worked seamlessly together. We were calmly advised before going when worried about the Gaza situation - no bold promises made but an awareness that they understood all our situation.

The whole tour was absolutely brilliant. Jammed packed with sites, scenes and experiences. Went everywhere, saw everything did it all and time enough to do it. First class group leader and tour guide. Due to the troubles in Gaza, many tourists stayed away, this allowed our group to visit sites virtually unaccompanied by other visitors.

MaCabe Pilgrimages were totally professional throughout. A representative met us at Heathrow and assisted us through our check in. Very impressed with this. From my experience with them, I would recommend anyone to travel with this operator.
