McCabe Pilgrimages provided the most comprehensive religious experience any one could wish for. The overall Tour Guide - Rev Tim Robb was an exemplary supervisor. The local expert Dawoud Manarous was excellence personified, outstanding.

A Pilgrimage to the Holy Land brings the Bible Stories to Life

Had a very enjoyable holiday visiting places in the Life of Jesus. It was enhanced by the knowledge and explanations of the McCabe Guide.

The Bible brought to life

Everywhere we visited had deep resonance of hymns, bible stories, Sunday School, poetry and western culture. Jerusalem and the major Christian sites, as well as the Western (wailing) wall, Bethlehem, Masada, the Dead Sea, the river Jordan, Jericho, Nazareth and the sea of Galilee. One couple movingly renewed their marriage vows at Cana. McCabe Pigrimages organisation was outstanding and our guide Daoud was exceptional: highly knowledgeable, ...

Superb variety in an extraordinary land.

It was two centred. Say in Jerusalem. Very central hotel, Golden Walls, which McCabe use regularly. It could do with a overhaul, esp of the bathrooms. It has very high occupancy and the eating could be manic. All going for the buffets at the same time. Ron Beach in Tiberias had good location, good food and excellent service. Overall, it was a hectic whirlwind visit, sometimes not long enough, to many sites. A taster. I would go back independently ...

Run by McCabe but uses people, like Ministers and vicars to organise us etc. But uses local guides. It sponsors Education in Palestine and I think Nepal.

One of the best holidays I have ever had.

The pilgrimage was a moving and educational experience.We stayed first at Jerusalem and then on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. I learned a lot from the trip. It was very well organised. The tour guide was excellent, a man of great knowledge and patience who was always on hand to explain and help out. He was one of the reasons the holiday was such a success.

The tour guide was excellent, a man of great knowledge and patience who was always on hand to explain and help out. He was one of the reasons the holiday was such a success. I learned a lot from him about the history of Palestine and Jerusalem. I think we will almost certainly be making more pilgrimages with this company.

We went with McCabe's Pilgrimages and they were excellent.The holiday was well organised. Everything went smoothly and the quality of our local tour guide was exceptional. He was a man who was widely read and a fund of information which he presented in a way that held our attention. I learned a lot from him.

A highly successful pilgrimage

Thoroughly enjoyable trip. I found the number of items in one day rather too many, but that could well be an age issue - having started out early each morning I would have liked a more restful afternoon.

MCCabe Travel seems to be an excellent operator. I have spoken to a lady who went on one of their tours in 2001 and she was delighted with it. We also met people on other tours in Israel and they also were very happy with their arrangements.
