Perfect Pilgrimage!

I have been going to Lourdes on Pilgrimage for over 20 years. This is a working volunteering holiday where we support up to 90 elderly or disabled pilgrims. It’s hard work but well worth it!

Tangney Tours, our operator for the past few years, offer outstanding service. They are fantastic. Respond to enquiries quickly, are efficient, polite and helpful and everything runs like clockwork!

Spiritually enlightening experience, with plenty of information readily available throughout the pilgrimage.

Well planned pilgrimage itinerary with lots of free time. A lovely prayerful time.

Birmingham Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes May/June 2018

The holiday/pilgrimage was organised by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham and Tangney Tours .Together with about a dozen pilgrims from my parish, I travelled to Lourdes by coach and ferry. The journeys to and from Lourdes were comfortable and efficient. The Saint Sébastien hotel in Lourdes where we stayed is a small, family-run hotel. The service at the hotel was very efficient, friendly and helpful and the meals were excellent.

Uplifting and enjoyable

We had a lovely 4 night break in Fatima in Portugal at Our Lady's shrine. The hotel was good - friendly and comfortable and close to the main pilgrimage sites. The food was good. The whole area was quiet but central. The travel guide was very good and was always on hand to look after us - three times a day or more - in case of any difficulties and to tell us what to do next.

They booked us in only a week before departure. The normal Air Portugal flight was full, so Claire managed to get us on Easyjet flights instead, which was quite acceptable to us. We met the rest of the group at Lisbon Airport.

Excellent

Sinead Howe our tour representative was an excellent and knowledgeable host, she was quick thinking, kind and very helpful. I believe that without herself and Fr Coveney and the excellent organisation of our schedule by Tangney tours, our experience wouldn’t have been so wonderful.

Fantastic Pilgrimage.

My mother and l went to Lourdes for the very 1st time. My mother who is 82 waited for years to go here and her and my experience was not disappointing. The rep (Linda’s) was fantastic and attended to all queries asked if her by pilgrims.

Refreshing Visit to Lourdes

My sister and I enjoyed a short weekend in Lourdes with the pilgrimmage from Paisley. We stayed at the Eliseo Hotel in a small bright twin room which looked out onto the mountains. Food is excellent, however three courses served at both lunch and dinner is too much, therefore we sometimes chose to eat only 2 courses. Perhaps to save wastage, guests could be given the menu at breakfast time and asked to select the dishes they would prefer. Also ...

My sister and I enjoyed a short weekend in Lourdes with the pilgrimmage from Paisley. We stayed at the Eliseo Hotel in a small bright twin room which looked out onto the mountains. Food is excellent, however three courses served at both lunch and dinner is too much, therefore we sometimes chose to eat only 2 courses. Perhaps to save wastage, guests could be given the menu at breakfast time and asked to select the dishes they would prefer. Also perhaps fruit could be an option instead of a sweet. Apart from attending Mass with the tour group on the first evening, my sister and I choose to explore the Domain and attend various events by ourselves because we were in Lourdes for such a short time. The young people from Paisley looked very smart in their Scottish kilts, and we enjoyed listening to them singing and playing musical instruments at Mass. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and were enthused by some of the changes in the Domain since our last visit seven years ago.

Rating for tour operator:

Tangney Tours were very helpful with organising our short break. Our Tour Representative, Linda, was very supportive and helpful, and we were very impressed that she came to speak with all of us, individually at our tables, three times per day at meal times to update everyone on the organised services and events available each day. A Big Thank you to Linda. Thanks also to Lisa for driving us to the airport for our return flight. This is the first time my sister and I have flown with budget airlines. We did enjoy the refreshments and snacks on the outward bound flight. We appreciate Lourdes is a beautiful place, especially for the sick . However, there was not enough time allowance for the many people in wheelchairs and disabled to board, and the space inbetween seats is inadequate for comfort for them. Therefore the flight was late to leave both Glasgow and Stanstead. Aeroplane landings on all journeys, especially in Tarbes were very bumpy and scary - not sure if this is due to the quality of the planes or inadequately trained pilots. Taking into account the health of majority of pilgrims, this was nor a good start. My sister and I did make enquiries about travelling independently to Lourdes. As it appeared to be very expensive we choose to travel with Tangney Tours who were very accommodating. However, perhaps next time, we will plan our next visit using a different airline with a bigger budget.
