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.

My 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

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.

Excellent Organization and Wonderful Tour Guide My husband and I just returned from a 10-day Israel Tour. We were so impressed with the excellent detailed organization of pilgrim tours, from beginning to end. We also want to commend our excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, kind, patient, and highly respectful. He was genuinely concerned for each person's well-being throughout the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire experience and we will be using pilgrim tours again, definitely!! Our guide's name is Avi Levi. Thank you, Avi!!

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!
