McCabe Pilgrimages Traveller Reviews

It was well organised. Accommodation very good. We travelled around by coach. The leaders were really good, helpful and informative. The whole time was well organised and was a wonderful experience.

I have been on two pilgrimages to the holy Land through McCabes. I can't rate them highly enough. They certainly know how to arrange excellent pilgrimages. I would feel very confident about taking part in any trip they organised.

A very satisfying experience with like minded folk. Group leaders and others along the way were informative, approachable and fun. Well organised, comfortable accommodation , glad I went!

Fantastic.

In the Footsteps of the Northern Saints took us to Lindisfarne, Chester le Street, Jarrow, The Angel of the North and Durham all in 3 days yet it seemed relaxed and peaceful. Accommodation at St Aidan's college was comfortable and convenient. Excellent local guides were available at each place.

I have travelled to Israel, Turkey and Northumberland with McCabe. They provide extremely well organised Christian tours

My pilgrimages with McCabe, always makes me want to invite others to come and see and experience. I have never been disappointed and I don't know any member of my group who has express disappointment, quiet the contrary. Looking forward to the next one.

McCabe always make sure that all things are taken care of and they personally see to it that people are happy with their requirements. Nothing is too much within reason. I have been travelling with them since early nineties, and every time I know and trust that I am in safe hands, no matter where I am.

This was the first UK pilgrimage arranged by McCabes. I initially had to go on a waiting list and there were 50 on this first week and 100 on the second week. The pilgrimage was extremely well organized and there was nothing more to pay if you did want to spend more.

I have travelled with McCabe previously and there is very much a family feel about the company. By the time I expressed an interest there was a waiting list and they seemed as pleased as me to ring and tell me that there was such interest that they were putting on a second Pilgrimage. The leadership, which included a McCabe family member, was wonderful.

This was a 4 night, 3 day holiday, to Durham, staying in St. Aidan's College. We were taken by coach to Lindisfarne, Jarrow & Chester-Le-Street & then had a day in Durham City. We learnt a lot about the importance of the Northern Saints as it were, of Cuthbert, Bede & Aidan & their effect on early Christianity in Britain. Durham Cathedral is fantastic with excellent acoustics. The food was good & accommodation basic but good, as were the Leaders of the Group of about 50 people. The only slight downside was great difficulty with the College WiFi to let family & friends know where you were!

I have been on a Pilgrimage with McCabe before & found them to be excellent at home & abroad. The Leaders always seem very helpful & knowledgeable.

Enjoyed every minute, relaxing, informative, thought provoking.

Very helpful

A five day pilgrimage to the north of England.

McCabe Pilgrimages, a small family run company who, from my experiences over several years, are an experienced and caring company.

We travelled on a Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. We were a small group of 12, with some making their first trip, others having been before, while a couple of folk had been many times. It was a two centre trip and both hotels were excellent. Lunches were taken in different restaurants, small and large. There was always a warm welcome and the food was first class. We felt very safe with our driver who took the trouble to park in a shady spot while we went 'walkabout'. Coming back to a cool coach was much appreciated as we were travelling in one of the hottest months. We had worked with our guide before and again he shared his knowledge in an easy-going manner so it never felt like a lecture. Overall a tremendous experience in every sense of the word.

We have used McCabe Travel before and again they were very helpful. Any e-mails were responded to immediately. Prior to our departure one of the proposed sites was closed. They both informed us of that and had already put in place a back-up plan in case it did not re-open. That is indeed service. Their staff regularly make trips abroad often with a group to keep up to date with the current situation rather therefore have personal, up to date knowledge which is a great help and very reassuring. On our return we received a call from McCabe checking on how the tour had gone. I cannot praise them highly enough.

I learnt much about the Holy Land which I did not know previously and it really gave me an insight into everyday life there and what it entails.

Very organised and efficient. Distributed much detailed information which was a great help when trying to sort out what I needed to bring with me.
