A very good, Christian Pilgrimage in the Holy Land

We visited all the significant Christian sites in the company of an excellent guide. The hotel in Jerusalem was very conveniently situated, overlooking the city walls and close to the Damascus Gate. The hotel in Tiberius was more luxurious with a swimming pool, and overlooking the sea of Galilee. There was a good choice of food at both hotels and the staff were friendly and helpful.

The tour itself was great but the operator did not acknowledge my initial email booking and failed to pass on information concerning my complicated food allergies. This did not matter in most of the places as there was choice but it was a serious omission on both flights as it led to gross embarrassment for me and everyone else and I was left with nothing to eat. there was also no provision for me at the hotel on arrival, which was a set meal, so I was left hungry for about 48 hours.

Trip of a lifetime

Iona had a wonderful atmosphere as did Fingal's Cave. Two places I had wanted to visit for some time.

I have had several holidays with McCabe and find they are always well organised. Not the cheapest but you pay for quality.

My Holy Land pilgrimage with McCabe Pilgrimages was excellent; a very rewarding experience.

A 10 day/ 9 night pilgrimage to the Holy Land that covered the Holy Places and Events described in the Gospels. It also covered non-biblical, but historic, sites like the Dead Sea, Massada, and the Roman Amphitheatre.

McCabe Pilgrimages tour price was all-inclusive, covering not only buffet breakfast and dinner, but also included quality lunch, all entrance fees and tips/ gratuities. I also appreciate that they support the boys' orphanage.

A Journey of Contrasts.

Full on time visiting historical sites with amazing knowledgeable guides who's care for our safety and enjoyment of the whole experience was paramount. Good food, good hotels, felt safe at all times even during festivals. A very enjoyable experience with lovely people.

A very efficient tour operator, supplying plenty of detail at booking and final paperwork. The trip was well planned with carefully chosen hotels and efficient transfer of luggage between hotels. Plenty of staff to make sure the walking group stayed together.

Reformation History pilgrimage

Visiting various sites in Germany associated with Martin Luther. We had an excellent local guide who knew his subject well. The hotels were good an dour travel, by coach between the various towns was very comfortable.
