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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
