Steps of John and Paul with Istanbul In 2019, 2 friends and I took the 16-day Steps of John and Paul tour which began with Istanbul. The first 3 chapters of Revelation and the New Testament mission trips of Paul came alive in Turkey, Greece and the Mediterranean islands in between. Pilgrim Tours did an excellent job for a reasonable cost. My opinion is don’t leave out Istanbul and the bus trip down the Turkish coast to cross the Dardanelles Strait on a car/bus ferry!

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!

Pilgrim Tours is great! Pilgrim Tours is great! Our tour guide was very friendly and informative. He provided us with whisper devices so that we could clearly hear him as we toured the different sites, and he even helped our group when language and cultural barriers lead to a lack of communication and understanding. Also, our driver always made sure his bus was clean and comfortable, with water bottles we could purchase as we went from place to place. The sites were beautiful, and the hotels we were taken to were clean, well kept, and overall comfortable.

Thank you Pilgrim for unforgettable Turkey trip! Thank you Pilgrim for planning our amazing trip to Turkey!!!🇹🇷 Started off traveling through the city of Istanbul, then stayed in a beautiful cave hotel in Cappadocia where we had the best views. Ended our trip with a week on a private Gullet boat, with the best crew and talented chef (trust me, I’m a picky eater😁), traveling through the Aegean Sea!! Highly recommend !!!🇹🇷

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
