An uplifting and very well organised stay on the island of Iona

A pilgrimage/retreat on the Isle of Iona which fully met my expectations. It was very well organised in every way - documentation, travel arrangements, accommodation in Glasgow and on the island at very good hotels (especially on Iona ) and the daily programme combined excellent spiritual content with time for refection and exploration.

A lovely group of like-minded pilgrims and a wonderful group leader as well as a travel company contact on hand with us. Highly recommended

McCabe's are excellent. The office staff are always on hand by answer questions and the travel documentation received from them is always timely and complete. The arrangements are fully documented and the choice of tour leaders chosen by McCabe's cannot be faulted along with a similar experience with local guides/leaders . They provide a choice of interesting destinations, combining spiritual content with sight seeing and cultural experiences

Pilgrimage to Turkey to visit ancient Christian sites

The tour guide was brilliant. The hotels and the coach were all excellent. The archaeological sites were fascinating.

Wonderful start to Advent

It was all excellent. The daily outings were all excellent as was the hotel and food. We came together as strangers and left as friends.

All the arrangements were excellent except the airport in Munich. If it was possible to use another airport it would be appreciated by passenger.

A Wonderful and Spiritually Uplifting Experience

We had a wonderful Cruise pilgrimage organised by McCabe Travels with Celestyal Cruises. It was named In the Wake of St Paul, and we travelled to many of the places where this great apostle of Christ bravely, with devout faith, great passion and energy, undertook to spread the gospel of Christ.

In the Wake of St Paul

We had a wonderful 10 day tour of the Greek mainland and islands visiting associated with St Paul. The arrangements went smoothly and we appreciated the standard of accommodation and service.
