McCabe Pilgrimages Traveller Reviews

"In the steps of the Northern Saints" was a combination of a pilgrimage and a holiday. We visited several interesting places on the trip and saw some wonderful scenery.

McCabes are an excellent company. I have been on several pilgrimages with them and they are always first class.

My wife & I had a most enjoyable time in Durham/ Northumberland friendly staff and good accomdation. Coach Driver was excellant and friendly, The Pilgramage walk across to the Holy Island was poorly timed, and put our lives at risk , not at all pleased with this organisation from McCabe..

Shame that one bad experience spoilt our holiday and brought McCabes markings down.

An excellent short trip to a variety of historic sites with an emphasis on the ancient saints and prominent religious areas as well as a visit to the Farne Islands and Hadrian's Wall. We travelled in excellent coaches and had just the right amount of commentary on where we were, what we were to see etc from knowledgeable speakers.

McCabe Pilgrimages - I have been with them before but this was the first time in the British Isles.

We stay in student accommodation which made it easy to provide 30+ single rooms. This was a short trip (4 days) but plenty was crammed in. We went to Lindisfarne and had a boat trip to the Farne Island with puffins and other fledging sea birds. Expert leaders on the Northern saints and history of the early Church.

This was a second pilgrimage. Both were very well organised and in both cases a second group was created because of large waiting lists for any cancellations!! Many who had gone in 2015 went this year.

Very enjoyable, ideal for those that have an interest in Religion and History. A varied timetable of activities which gives you a good favour of the area around Durham. I would now love to go back and spend longer in some of the places we visited and also have a list of other locations on my bucket list. The food was lovely, varied - something for everyone.

The leaders and guides were excellent and shared their enthusiasm and love of their part of the world - well worth the time and money, I would definitely recommend. The company couldn't do enough, they were always around keeping an eye on things - pointing people in the right direction and nothing was too much trouble.

Fantastic pilgrimage around the Holy Land. Wonderful to see the sights, particularly Jerusalem and the area around Lake Galilee.

Smooth operation. No hitches. Well-guided throughout.

The holiday went off without hitch.

This is the first time we have been on an organised holiday and the first time in Northern Italy. We had a wonderful time. we saw so much of Italy's ancient mosaics and frescos with knowledgeable local guides who smoothed the way for us to pack in much more than we would have managed on our own. It was lovely to share the experience with like-minded 'pilgrims' and it has whetted our appetite for more.

We went with McCabe Pilgrimages. The tour leader and his wife were lovely and the Italian guide was superb

A varied visit to a range of churches and religious art in northern Italy.

Good information in preparation for the trip.

Booking the holiday was made very easy by McCabe Pilgrimages. The accommodation, guides, coach driver and leaders of the holiday were excellent. The locations and sites visited were well chosen and well planned. It was a remarkable experience.

McCabe Pilgramages organised the whole tour very well. Their experience in this field is obvious through the good planning and booking systems.
