McCabe Pilgrimages Traveller Reviews

This will remain one of my top holidays. The whole experience was extraordinary, travelling with a large group of friends, learning so much about Greece and understanding what inspired Paul to keep going in often challenging circumstances. The spiritual journey was the most important and memorable, including renewing baptismal vows at Lydia, and celebrating Holy Communion in ancient Corinth, under a tree.

Thoroughly research and flexible enought to change itinery for the better. Helpfulduring booking, efficient with sending information and tickets.

Visited Rome, Orvieto and Assisi and packed a lot in. Seeing the remains of classical Rome was a hope at long last fulfilled. Don't recommend the Domatilla catacomb (dark, dank and not very insightful). The Vatican galleries were a mad rush - we raced through in scarcely more than an hour. But we had half an hour in the Sistine Chapel. Good hotel, and transport to and from it well organised. Orvieto was well worth stopping for. Assisi thronging with tourists (like ourselves of course) and entirely centred on the iconography of St Francis. Wondered what he would have made of it all. Food at the hotel there (which was modern and swish) disappointing - clearly taking advantage of us as a group.

Tour organisation very efficient. Tour guide exemplary. No control on the quality of the hotel food, which after all is not an insignificant element in a holiday, even one described as a 'pilgrimage' - and the holiday was not cheap.

Eye opening experience at many different levels. Spiritually uplifting.

Well organised and flexible.

The trip to Israel and Palestine was fantastic. Brilliant experience combining faith, religion, history, fantastic scenery and very fulfilling and rewarding.

Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

McCabe

10 day Pilgrimage to the Holy Land based in Jerusalem and Tiberius

A very smooth operation from first booking to return. I was contacted the day after I returned to see if all was well. If I lead another Pilgrimage, I would choose McCabe.

An amazing experience with a fantastic Guide who had a wealth of knowledge of the history of Jerusalem and experience of life in Israel in the present day. The hotels were first class with excellent rooms and meals. Daily travel and lunch arrangements were faultless. We visited all the major Christian sites and church buildings, went into the desert, floated on the Dead Sea, sailed on the Sea of Galilee and had the very special experience of celebrating Holy Communion on its shores. A never to be forgotten time.

This company is obviously excellent at its job and do all they can to make sure that the traveller's experience is the best that it can be. I could find no downside to my trip.

a nine day trip visiting the key sites of the Holy land including Jerusalem, bethlehem, Nazareth and Galilee.

A comrehensive and well planned trip.

Generally good, but two of the hotels we stayed in were poor, particularly the Manger Hotel in Bethlehem and the Golden Walls in Jerusalem.
