GBOur 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.

GBFrom 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.

CAco-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.

GBMy trip with Pilgrim Tours was a 20! My trip with Pilgrim Tours was handled very professionally from the start. Even with Covid messing up all our plans, the trip was finally able to happen. Pre-trip communication, including educational materials and reminders to get into physical shape and also make timely payments were very helpful. During the trip everything went very smooth, including daily tours, meals, hotels and transportation. If I was asked to rate this trip on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest, I'd give it a 20. I have already verbally signed up with the Tour Organizer for a trip next year. - Paul Biebel

GBOur 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!
