Amazing

This was a pilgrimage and was well planned and organised. The Itinery was well thought through and nearly every visit was appropriate in it's lenght and detail. Guide and Driver in the Holy Land were exceptional is their knowledge and on every level. Good choice of Hotels and Restaurants.

Well organised pilgrimage

We went on the Southwark Diocese pilgrimage. It was very well organised between McCabe and the diocese. We visited many major sites in Jerusalem (including Bethlehem) and Tiberias, with an absolutely excellent guide. They also arranged for groups to visit a couple of educational and health projects supported by the diocese. A busy holiday but one I would recommend.

All very efficient. A rep from the company travelled with us (probably because we were a large group), she was very nice and it helped the company to see how their tours were running "on the ground".

Spiritually and emotionally uplifting

Amazing introduction to the holy land. A tour which took me through the bible on an experience I will never forget. A humbling and emotional interlude made special by the people I met in a country steeped in history.

They ensured a see less experience from the moment we arrived at the airport to the moment we arrived home. Always sorted any problems promptly.

A very good learning experience

I personally found the pilgrimage to the Holy Land a very good learning experience, it has increased my understanding of the complex human story associated with the countries within the region.

Rating for tour operator:

Both the tour operators and the Cathedral provided us with information about the pilgrimage which I found very useful. In addition we were invited to a pre-pilgrimage meeting at the Cathedral. My impression is that the organisers have taken a good deal of care and attention to ensure the participants had a good pilgrimage.

the most memorable trip I have ever been on

I had the best trip of my life on a McCabe Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and I was with a wonderful group of lovely people that I had never met before. Our guide was amazing. He was a star, so knowledgeable, friendly and also gentle when he needed to shepherd us. We went to many places of significance and saw and experienced both the history and the present.

From the moment I enquired about this pilgrimage to the time we got back to Ben Gurion airport to travel back to the UK they were efficient, well organised and helpful. With every detail well covered.

Amazing and utterly different

A Pilgrimage to Ethiopia exploring the Northern part of the Country, and learning a little of its Christian history thro visiting its churches. We had a marvellous local guide to be with us for the time we were away who conducted us around the major sites and interpret the iconography that was unlike anything that most of us had seen before. McCabe provided a brilliant itinerary, and it proved to be excellent value for money.

Mind-blowing pilgrimage

This was the fourth time I had been to Israel, but this time I saw more places than ever before, included Samaria, Masada, Galilee, Jerusalem, the Judean desert, Bethlehem, and Nazareth, as well as the opposite side of Galilee - under the Golan Heights. Amazing experience.

Rating for tour operator:

Helpful tour operator. I have used them before, and was pleased to travel with them again. They include a small amount of money in the price of the tour, which goes to a Palestinian school and hospital. I would have liked to have been asked to give a larger amount, or be asked again after visiting these places.
