McCabe Pilgrimages Traveller Reviews

A well run and managed study holiday.

Efficient booking with McCabes via the St Albans Diocesan Office. A friendly visit from the rep to the preparation evening was appreciated and the same friendly face appeared in the second part of the tour.

We saw a lot of places in the time. Rather too many as it was difficult to remember which was which afterwards. However, I do not know how this could be remedied other that having more days.Overall a wonderful experience with a very pleasant and knowledgable guide.

I did not book the tour but was part of a group. We were ell looked after on the tour and I was satisfied with their input.

Although our pilgrimage lasted only six full days in The Holy Land, each day was packed with visits, very cleverly organised and arranged to maximise the time available. Our guide was unbelievably good, passing on his knowledge with tremendous skill and patience. Our coach driver was extremely competent and very friendly. A superbe professional team!

Very well organised and very professional! Easily accessed when required, with very friendly help and advice.

Very enjoyable

Very efficient

Good September weather enabled very memorable visits in Rome,Siena, Florence and Assisi, Our hotels, guides, coach driver and fellow-pilgrims made it a holiday to treasure and we shall remember it for a long time, especially when the English winter arrives

Excellent in every respect

This was very definitely a pilgrimage and not a holiday. The days were often long and packed, but the plus side of this was that we felt we had visited all the significant sites in Jerusalem, around the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee. The local guide provided by McCabe's local partner was excellent, both in his historical and Biblical knowledge. It was a 2 site holiday; the hotel in Jerusalem was immediately outside the Old City. It was a very short walk to go back into the Old City to re-visit churches at leisure. The hotel in Tiberias was very comfortable and right on the lakeside.

McCabe are not simply a tour operator, but support several projects in Holy Land/Palestine via the McCabe Trust. Our itinerary included visits to 2 of these projects to see and hear first hand about the support given and how much it is appreciated.

Not a moment was wasted therefore we saw just about every thing. Bassam, the guide assigned to us could not have been bettered.His command of the English language was phenominal as was his knowledge of the history of the country & of the bible.I was thrilled & overawed by the experience.

Paul Mccabe were excellent inevery aspect of the holiday from the original booking to arriving back at heathrow.

McCabes offered a fascinating experience as we travelled along the Camino in N Spain, partly by coach & partly by walking pilgrim style. We first enjoyed a visit to the Guggenheim in Bilbao and later tours of cathedrals & medieval city centres in Pamplona, Burgos, Leon, Santiago etc. At every stage the company provided for our needs with a knowlegeable, friendly guide, efficient coach driver, excellent hotels & restaurants and a well thought out itinerary. A holiday to be recommended.

This was our third holiday with McCabes. They are always efficient & thoughtful, offering well planned itineraries led by knowledgeable & pleasant guides.

This was a pilgrimage to Rome, Assisi and Ravenna

Everything was looked after for us with a great deal of care

I have travelled with McCabe twice before this trip. Their arrangements are always satisfactory and any telephone inquiries are thoughtfully answered. As I have said the itinerary is too full at the start of the trip. We met someone from another group( McCabe) going the other way, who said the same thing! However, I would recommend them as a tour operator.
