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

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.

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!

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.
