co-led a tour of Turkey co-led a tour of Turkey, the Islands, and Greece for our St. Stephen's University (SSU.CA) travel module for two weeks. The attendees described it as the trip of a lifetime, featuring amazing bucket-list sites, VERY warm and knowledgeable guides, and Pilgrim Tour's ability to create a fast and flexible solution when we faced a city-wide bus, taxi, and Uber strike on the day we needed to get to the airport. We have been with Pilgrim many times, found this same consistency, and when our previous trip was cancelled due to COVID, they are able to recover for more of our deposits than was their obligation under the contract. This last trip was so good that one of our attendees immediately booked two more tours with them. We have shopped around for alternatives before, but clearly won't need to do that in the future.

Exodus Tour, just the beginning In 2018 our family of 5 went on the Exodus Tour with Pilgrim. We are Canadian and there aren’t a lot of these kinds of tours within our budget. I spent quite a bit of time researching various tour groups, mindful of both experience and safety-we are so glad we went with Pilgrim. While I love the variety of experiences in each segment of our tour, I was blown away with the rich Christian history in Egypt. Each tour guide was amazing with their knowledge and personal touch. We are looking at the Footsteps of Paul tour with Pilgrim, once travel restrictions lighten up. Our daughter’s were 18,16,14 on this trip and we have wonderful lasting memories.

OUTSTANDING TOUR - DON'T MISS IT! I just returned from a 10-day "Best of Israel" tour with my granddaughter through Pilgrim Tours. I cannot adequately compliment Pilgrim enough. Our tour guide, Mickey, was unbelievably knowledgeable and compassionate and make Israel come alive for us. The tour included everything we wanted to see. The lodging and meals were great, but the daily highlight was the tour itself. I'm 82 years old and Mickey was very understanding of my limitations and guided me through each challenge. If I'm able to take another tour, it will only be with Pilgrim.

Our Exodus 14 trip was an incredible trip! Our Exodus 14 trip was truly a once-in-a-lifetime, incredible learning experience. In spite of the blistering summer heat (especially at Petra), we had a fantastic journey that brought the Scriptures to life. We highly recommend Pilgrim and look forward to our next trip with Pilgrim. Each part of the trip with Pilgrim is so well planned and seamless. We stayed in great places with great food. It is obvious that everything has been well explored and well thought out. All we had to do was listen, learn, and absorb everything and anything we could while visiting each country.

Our guide was Eshcar and I can’t say… Our guide was Eshcar and I can’t say enough about him! He was so incredibly knowledgeable about Israel, the Bible, people in general, and he discussed ways the past relates to the present. He was so kind and genuinely wanted us to understand and appreciate his country. He had a gentle firmness about keeping our group of 24 quiet when he was talking so we could all enjoy what he was saying. He even told us his personal story, which was amazing. This trip for me was life altering and I highly recommend anyone going to Israel to have a licensed guide….like Escher!
