Holy Land 11th to 18th Feb 2020

This was a truly wonderful experience walking in the footsteps of Jesus. McCabe made it possible for us to experience this to the full. Great organisation and an excellent guide.

I have just returned from our Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. McCabe were an excellent company to work with as there was a large group of 31 people on the trip. The week was absolutely fantastic in every way. The organisation was perfect and I can honestly say if we were to go again there is vertically nothing I would ask to be made different. McCabe’s planning and organisation was also very good, and the choice and balance of the holy sites we visited was very good. We understand that it is difficult to arrange venues and times for Masses however these too were good. As a Parish we would hope to use your company again and would recommend you to other parishes. Myself and my wife are using McCabe again in May when travel to Oberammergau to see the passion play and we are now thoroughly looking forward to the week. Thank you again for the time and trouble you have taken in planning and organising our Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

Excellent humbling experience

It was the best pilgrimage I have ever been on and I think all Christians should experience it. Well planned and executed. Well done McCabe

The pilgrimage of a lifetime!!

My wife and I had wanted to go on a Christian biased trip to the Holy Land for many years. As teachers we were unable to go since these trips usually take place during term time. Now we are retired, we jumped at the opportunity. It far exceeded our expectations in terms of the number of significant places we visited and the Christian fellowship we shared with our fellow travellers.

McCabe Pilgrimages had everything organised to perfection. From the moment we met at Belfast City airport until we arrived back in Belfast everything was fully planned and organised like a military operation. The guide and driver assigned to our group were excellent.

Holy Land Pilgrimage

McCabe travel had put together a terrific tour of Holy site, with opportunities to have a time of prayer or worship at most sites. The Guide and bus driver were first class and really looked after us. I felt completely safe at all times and came away understanding more after 10 days than I could have reading the bible for several years. Jerusalem and Galilee are two places I will definitely visit again.

McCabe travel had done as much as possible to ensure a very smooth and enjoyable trip, with opportunities to meet and talk to local people. The Guide's knowledge was incredible and he opened up the places we visited in ways I didn't expect. The day following the Via Dolorosa was very memorable

Emotional and spiritual

Went with my unwell sister to help her. Best experience for many years. Beautifully organised and led , meeting a fabulous group of people . The local guide was superb as was the bus driver. Could not recommend McCabe more highly.

Booking process was straightforward. Itinerary Information was comprehensive and accurate. Preparatory material was really beneficial and is also proving useful in "processing" the experience and the memories.

The most thought-provoking, eye-opening, life-changing experience of my life!!

My holiday was NOT a holiday in the usual sense of the word but an amazing pilgrimage to see, taste & feel the deepest spiritual experience that far exceeded anything that I could ever have expected or envisaged! The choice of accommodation, food and transport was excellent but paled into insignificance compared to the emotional experience of visiting the Holyland!

Pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Lake Galilee. Busy days visiting as many sites as we could, with an excellent local bus driver and guide.
