Reviews of McCabe Pilgrimages










A well organised walking holiday in Spain with good company & excellent weather.
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 ...

A holiday to be recommended.

McCabe Pilgrimages review
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.

A well planned pilgrimage in enjoyable company
This holiday combined a fascinating encounter with Spanish history, architecture and terrain with a time of religious reflexion in following the Camino de Santiago.

McCabe was fine.





Turkey - Istanbul, the 7 Churches and beyond - a wonderful experience
Turkey was very interesting. We made new friends. The weather was kind and we remained dry in Istanbul. We had an excellent time here with visits to Topkali Palace, Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, to name but a few. We then flew to Izmir, which began our tour of the 7 churches and many other places besides. We could have done with longer in the markets, which we always enjoy, as there was so much to see....and possibly buy. There was always ...

We now have dozens of photos and a film to sort from a memorable holiday!!

McCabe was very efficient in the organization of keeping our group together, getting us through luggage check-in and onto the plane at Heathrow and beyond. We were met by our guide who was superb, and stayed with us throughout, going the extra mile. She was very knowledgeable The coach driver was brilliant too and was always ready with the wheelchair for one of our group when required.





Pilgrimage to the Holy Lane
A truly excellent holiday in every way. Very well organised and planned. The local guide had invaluable knowledge and looked after us very well. The whole trip was well planned and ensured we experienced as much as possible in the ten days. We always felt safe. The hotels were very good and the food superb. The hotel in Tiberias was excellent and we would have liked more time there to enjoy the location right by Lake Galilee. The whole ...

Well planned and very good hotels used, especially the Ron Beach Hotel in Tiberias. Guided us well through the airports as a group. Excellent value for money. Lots of useful information provided before the trip.

Programme far too intense, poor flights, major h&s issues at hotel
Please refer to the comments I have submitted to McCabes. I Will lose the Will to live if you are seriously expecting me to write it all again. As a professional body I am expecting you, in law, to oversee the compensation due - PLEASE do the right thing and don't let things get lost in the small print! Remember...LIVES ARE AT STAKE!

See above comments - it's up to you not to let McCabes off the hook: they must be made to face up to there responsibilities.
We have written in detail to Mr Baker responding in full to the points he raised.
We recognize that it is not possible to meet the aspirations of everybody who travels with us.
