McCabe Pilgrimages by Mr J R 14, 16 May 2014

Everything we expected and more

It covered everything we were led to expect. The guides we had were superb (but their English pronunciation could have been better). The 2 hotels were very good, the food exceptional for buffet food, Comfort and cleanliness were also good. Very few of our party fell ill. We felt it was all a bit rushed, we would happily have paid more to spread it out, but that is the nature of hindsight. It was all we expected and more!

Can't fault them at all. Everything went well. I believe their representative visited us in the Jerusalem Hotel to verify quality.

Another fantastic McCabe pilgrimage

We have done four pilgrimages with McCabe. They are excellently led, good value, interesting, informative and use very well chosen hotels and restaurants. I would recommend them to anyone with an interest in this type of holiday.

Istanbul and the Seven Churches of Revelation pilgrimage

3 nights in Istanbul gave us time for a good idea of the flavour of the city. Visited each of the sites of the seven churches plus a local market - all fascinating. Excellent local guide and tour guide. Turkey is a beautiful country and people were all very friendly.

An enjoyable pilgrimage,

All the arrangements were superb and everything worked seamlessly. Hotels were good, food in fast quantities. Leader and guide were special. The result was a great time of fellowship, good relationships, and personal renewal.

McCabe had everything organised and we never had to think about anything but just enjoy each day as it came. No hitches - just enjoyment.

Pilgrimage Tour

10 day Holy Land Pilgrimage Tour in Israel/Palestine with a party of 26 of mixed age and experience. We stayed 4 nights in Tiberias and 5 nights Jerusalem in family-run hotels, one Jewish, one Palestian, both excellent. The tour was well serviced by Albina Tours in Jerusalem. Arrangements by McCabe Travel were excellent

The Pilgrimage to the Holy Land was an excellent and truly memorable experience

This was a visit I have long wanted to make and was not disappointed.The Pilgrimage to the Holy Land was an excellent and truly memorable experience. It was one of the most valuable and interesting holidays I have ever had and will ever give me a greater understanding of the very complex current situation in the Holy Land and a very visual picture of it in Biblical and modern times.

A moving challenging and fun pilgrimage

A pilgrimage to both Israel Palestine . I loved the fact that although we visited the sites linked with Jesus' life we also were encouraged to engage with the Palestinian plight . The highlights for me were the projects as well as the peace of Galilee .

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.
