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.

First Class From my first phone call to Pilgrim Tours til I arrived safely back home from our trip, my every need was met. Their staff is thorough, competent, professional and caring. They always answered any questions I had to my satisfaction. Every detail of our trip was taken care of with professionalism. I positively have nothing negative to say about Pilgrim Tours. We wouldn’t consider using any one else.

Pilgrim Tours provide enriching experiences Pilgrim Tours provide knowledgeable guides. We were told about the history of the sites as well as the importance of each site Enough opportunities were provided to investigate on our own The guides brought us to places where we could taste authentic middle eastern foods I appreciated that each day had a unique itinerary which was shared ahead of time A great experience I would do it again

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!

An exceptional experience in Israel! Our experience with Pilgrim Tours was exceptional! There were 43 states and 12 countries represented by our group and the chemistry among us was amazing, due mostly to our guide, Yatzuk. I had the privilege to be our group’s pastor and we had wonderful times of prayer and fellowship together. Our accommodations were great and the food was always delicious. We would do the entire trip over again! We just can’t say enough!
