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.

From my first phone call to my return home ... From my first phone call to my return home, Pilgrim Tour folks met every need with action and compassion, in spite of a canceled flight out of Boston. They met every promise they made and my experience was beyond what I expected because of the kindness of the tour guides, drivers, hotel staff, etc. The guide in Jordan wasn't at such a high level which cost a star. I plan to return to Israel and will go through Pilgrim Tours again.

Pilgrim Tour are outstanding! We have always loved traveling with Pilgrim tours. This latest trip to Italy was no exception. Every detail was looked after, and the guide/tour Director was outstanding. He even took us for two /unofficial unplanned walking tours of sites the group wanted to see.

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!

Thank you for making our tour-Nov… Thank you for making our tour-Nov 23-30, 2023 an amazing experience! Not once, from landing in Cairo until we departed from Amman did we feel unsafe. We couldn’t have asked for better guides or drivers, they took care of everything, from our border crossings to checking us in at Amman airport. We loved being a part of the different cultures, seeing the Deserts of Egypt, Mt Sinai, the Red Sea, Mt Nebo, brought the exodus of the children of Israel alive. We are thankful we went, thankful for the dedicated services provided and encourage others to take the tour! Your guides are waiting and will give you an incredible experience!
