Pilgrimage of Body, Mind and Spirit in the Holy Land

An incredible 8 days exploring the richness and complexities of Israel/Palestine with a group from our local churches, family members and friends. Truly a pilgrimage of body, mind and spirit as we visited many historic Biblical sites as well as contemporary institutions. We were challenged on all levels as we walked the lands of the Bible, bringing well-known stories alive in a new way, and also confronted with the baffling complexities of this ...

An incredible 8 days exploring the richness and complexities of Israel/Palestine with a group from our local churches, family members and friends. Truly a pilgrimage of body, mind and spirit as we visited many historic Biblical sites as well as contemporary institutions. We were challenged on all levels as we walked the lands of the Bible, bringing well-known stories alive in a new way, and also confronted with the baffling complexities of this wonderful, troubled land. A fantastic few days to savour and reflect on for a long time to come.

Both McCabe in the UK and their local team were excellent. We were met at the airport by our driver and our guide for the week, both of whom were fantastic. All logistical issues were taken care of, allowing us a hassle-free experience and to filly engage in our tour. Our guide was incredibly professional and yet personable; with a wealth of knowledge to share and able to be flexible to the needs of the group. Excellent.

Seamlessly arranged pilgrimage

I could not have arranged such a comprehensive tour of the major sites without the knowledge and pre-planning of the operator. Everything was taken care of and the travel arrangements and accommodation were superb!

Well organized, efficient.

It was a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and Jordan. It exceeded our expectations in its scope and organization throughout. The itinerary was well-planned and executed, and it was a truly memorable experience.

Holy Land Pulgrimage

The trip of a lifetime that didn't disappoint. Not sure what to expect on a religious pilgrimage to the Holy Land, whether it would be a bun fight with tourists and market sellers but McCabe managed to maintain the right level of reverence throughout the tour while still injecting humour from time to time. Comfort and security were high on my list of priorities but I didn't have to worry about any that, McCabe did a good job in providing a good ...

They weren't 5-star hotels but they were clean, comfortable, friendly and economical. Very very enjoyable!

Friendly Team, all our needs taken care of.

Our second visit to The Holyland. Hotels and food all very good. Our guide Victor, engaged by McCabe, was amazing. He brought valuable knowledge and insight to each of the sites we visited. He really brought the Bible to life and spoke to each of us in a very personal way. Truly gifted.

A one in a lifetime trip, all the more special as it was for my mum's 70th birthday

A wonderful trip, plenty of unique places to visit, our guide (Salim) brought it all to life and was very knowledgeable. The trip went smoothly from start (at the airport), through to connecting flight, and arrival at our destination. We were guided all the way (some of the group weren't as well travelled as some of us so it was comforting for them, and given their age too). The trip suited everyone (there was 20 of us from 50 (me) through to 75+...
