McCabe Pilgrimages Traveller Reviews

The journey met our expectations being extremely well organised and the content very interesting, varied historically, culturally informative, and spiritually based all being enjoyed in the company of a very hard working and competent but jolly leader and friendly fellow pilgrims. The provision of top rate meals and wine was generous.

The tour operator is highly knowledgeable, commended on its attention to detail, and thankfully faultless planning.

The two centre trip - Tiberias and Jerusalem- covered a huge amount. We visited a wide range of sites with a knowledgeable guide and enjoyed two well-placed hotels and lots of lovely lunch spots. Wake-up calls were very early, but worth it to avoid some crowds. Hotel food in Jerusalem was a little variable.

Everything was well organised and things went as smoothly as they could in, at times, a challenging environment.

An 11-day, all-inclusive guided pilgrimage of Israel-Palestine

MCCabe offer the complete service for pilgrimage planning and execution. Working with the group leader to plan the itinerary; always flexible with friendly and competent staff.

Despite thunderstorms - the Spring rains that made the scenery blissfully green! - we enjoyed a week of very varied experiences. We walked along the coast near Latchi where a marine conservation zone protected turtles (who come to lay their eggs there every year) and delighted in the turquoise waters and the wild flowers growing among the rocks. We visited villages in the hills and had demonstrations of how to make local bread and halloumi cheese - and made our own cheese and olive rolls for lunch. We had morning prayer in some lovely Greek Orthodox churches, one dating to the 6th century AD, and were amazed by the mosaics in the "House of Dyonysios" in Paphos and the "Tombs of the Kings".

We have been on several pilgrimages with McCabe, to the Holy Land, Greece, Turkey and India - and chose them for the Cyprus trip because we knew they would give us an interesting, well-informed week and would look after us well.

This was a 9 day pilgrimage which organised in conjunction with our Diocese. The experience was profound, inspiring and nurturing. McCabe's management was first class and our local guide was outstanding. We were provided with countless rich insights into Jesus life and ministry both in Jerusalam and also in Galilee. I left the Holy Land as someone whose discipleship had been immeasurably changed as a result of this priviledged and wonderful opportunity.

McCabe's experience and dedication to providing pilgrims with a first class service was in evidence throughout. Would certainly book with Mc Cabe again

I most recently went on a 12 day tour of the Holy Land and it was a truly memorable experience.

I’ve travelled with McCabe twice now and they’ve been exceptional.

Was amazing. Everything was perfect

Was perfect

I travelled with 40 colleagues to the Holy Land with McCabe, in January of 2023. We began our trip with several days in Jerusalem, before travelling across the country for several more days in Tiberias, taking in al manner of biblical sights as we did do.

McCabe were exceptional from start to finish, striking exactly the right balance between being present and accessible if needed, but not at all imposing. This level of care lasted from initial booking, through to airport departure and reception, right through to our local guide seeing us off at the airport at the end of our trip. They truly were fantastic.

ISRAEL INCLUDING PALESTINE ESSENTIAL TRAVEL BOTH FOR MY FAITH AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE REGION

PREPARATION FOR JOURNEY EXCELLENT, ALSO CARE EN ROUTE. CANNOT FAULT ANY ASPECT

A lucky band of 26 left Heathrow for Pisa and had a very fine experience on an interesting tour , well paced well led , well fed and well wined it felt worth the money to see the awesome Viareggio Carnavale and tick off a good few of the bucket list sites in Tuscany . Based in Montecatini Therme .going out on day trips was had great fun. We had a fine leader, good guides ,safe drivers local food and wine with just enough religion to satisfy a McCabe Pilgrimage ethos..

Under new management it has started to branch out into other areas. giving well led smallish groups comfortable interesting tours with knowledgable guides. With a light touch of Christian ethos McCabe gave us modern travellers the opportunity to broaden our understanding of European history, linking it with the medieval journeys of pilgrims from Europe to Rome.
