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.

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!

Exodus Tour, just the beginning In 2018 our family of 5 went on the Exodus Tour with Pilgrim. We are Canadian and there aren’t a lot of these kinds of tours within our budget. I spent quite a bit of time researching various tour groups, mindful of both experience and safety-we are so glad we went with Pilgrim. While I love the variety of experiences in each segment of our tour, I was blown away with the rich Christian history in Egypt. Each tour guide was amazing with their knowledge and personal touch. We are looking at the Footsteps of Paul tour with Pilgrim, once travel restrictions lighten up. Our daughter’s were 18,16,14 on this trip and we have wonderful lasting memories.

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.

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!
