McCabe Pilgrimages Traveller Reviews

Excellent

Excellewnt

We travelled to Ethiopia on a Christian pilgrimage. We saw numerous Christian churches, monasteries etc. ancient sites built into the rock and caves in the mountains. We helped to celebrate the Coptic Christmas. We learned a good deal about the indigenous population and met a number of kind, gentle people who are extremely welcoming to visitors. I found this trip uplifting and educational.

Excellent. I have been on several pilgrimages with McCabe and they never let me down. They know their distinations and if you need any advice, they are very happy to talk to you before you depart. I feel I am in good hands when they are in charge and never have any worries.

It was a transformative experience: I shall dwell on the memories.

The tour was well prepared for, followed through & we had an outstanding guide.

A Pilgrimage of song.

Mc Cabe Pilgrimages My fifth tour with them. Faultless

an excellent pilgrimage to the Holy Land, to sing, learn, share, pray and visit places in the Bible

McCabe an excellent tour operator, meticulous in every detail

It was entitled 'A pilgrimage of song'; we visited Holy Christian sites and visited Palestinian Christians to learn more about their lves. Everywhere we visited (as appropriate) or held a service, we sang. We had some great leaders, who made it all happen without a hitch.

McCabe Pilgrimages arranged travel and hotels. Everything was excellent.

The week was pretty hectic, but it combined all things I love best. The singing was a bonus and the company both stimulating and caring. We visited many places I hear about regularly at church. We were really lucky with the weather and though it was sad for the local economy, much of the time we were the only touring group around, so were able to view all the treasures of the area and sing in peace. Our guide, Sami, was a font of knowledge and 'Mansouer an excellent driver of our Nazarene Express. Geoff, our tour leader was an inspiration as well as being diligent at counting us back on the coach. Canon John Henson had done a super job with the liturgy. The group bonded and sang well as a choir as the week wore on. The terrific amount of information given out has left me with much food for thought. An emotional experience.

McCabe Travel, though I hadn't heard of them before, give an excellent service. A friend had used them previously and they are consistent in this. Any question or problem was resolved promptly and without fuss. Level of information was really useful.

We spent 5 nights in Jerusalem (Golden Walls Hotel), 2 nights in Nazareth (Little Sisters of Nazareth) and finally 2 nights in Galilee(Ron Beach Hotel). We had a wonderful tour guide and programme and each day visited sites associated with the ministry and life of Jesus. We also visited local projects supported by McCabe - a school, hospital and peace centre.

McCabe - looked after us excellently from start to finish. This included sending a representative to a pre pilgrimage meeting prior to the trip, have a representative at the airport to help guide us through security etc.. and providing a wonderful tour guide and driver who accompanied us throughout the trip. The tour guide and driver provided were top classes. The tour guide was knowledgeable, personable and great fun.

An 11 day pilgrimage to the Holy Land, with 7 nights in Jerusalem and 3 nights in Galilee, visiting all the major Gospel sites, including Bethlehem. Staying in 4* accommodation close to the Old City of Jerusalem, and on the Sea of Galilee, the proximity of hotels allowed for an unhurried spiritual experience, with time to appreciate the significance of each place.

McCabe have many years of experience in operating pilgrimages to the Holy Land, which means everything is well-organised, accommodation is of a high standard,and each visit runs smoothly with the help of excellent local guides.
