I have traveled with Pilgrim Tours twice - to Israel in 2015 and Greece in 2018 (if I have the years correct). They were really well done. The trip to Israel, in particular, was great. The guide there was spectacular. The same was basically true of the Greece trip as well. I'd definitely recommend them.

We have travelled with Pilgrim Tours four times to Israel. On three occasions we participated in the Superior 12-day tour. We learned something different even in repeating the tour. We could not have been more pleased. EVERYTHING was excellent in every way. The hotels were outstanding in their accomodations and meals. The itinerary was very thorough; we went to several places that other Israel travellers told us they missed out on. The guides were personable and well-informed. We hope to take this tour again as soon as it is possible.

Israel & Jordan Oct 2014
My husband and I researched MANY tours to find just the right Christian-based tour of the Holy Land. Pilgrim Tours far exceeded our expectations and we would fully recommend them without hesitation! Our Christian guides were Jordanian and Israeli, which enabled them to give us a full background and perspective at every turn. They were professional, knowledgeable, and personable. The bus drivers were fantastic, as well. Hotel accommodations were great. This is a tour of a lifetime! Pilgrim has the connections with local tour guides, and that made all the difference in the world!

I took a Holy Land trip to Egypt, Jordan and Israel with Pilgrim in 2019. Overall - it was a very good experience. Pilgrim did an excellent job with coordinating the trip with tours and the hotels. The hotels we stayed in were the best for the particular areas we were in. The guides in Egypt were excellent and Israel was okay. However, the guide in Jordan did give us miss-leading information regarding food safety.
This was my first experience with Pilgrim Tours; and overall - I was very pleased and will use them again!

My trip to Israel in January of 2018 was memorable trip. Pilgrim was readily available to answer any questions I had prior to taking the trip. Yes, without hesitation I would consider using them again.

I have had the privilege of travelling to Israel twice with Pilgrim Tours - once in the middle of summer and once in spring. Both times were exceptional. The organisation, welcome and value for money are definitely an incentive to travel again with Pilgrim Tours. From the airport pick-up to the drop-off at the end of the trip, the experience was so good. The guides knew their 'stuff' and were friendly and helpful. Hopefully, we will be organising another tour as the borders open up once again!

I have traveled with Pilgrim tours multiple times over the last 20 years including mission trips, study tours, and Holy Land experiences! In every case, they handled every arrangement and made it easy! Their experience and expertise makes all the difference!

This was my second 10-day tour of Israel with Pilgrim Tours! I took my wife, 4 of my 6 kids, and several friends with me the first time. It was such a good experience, I took my youngest 2 kids again when they were old enough to appreciate it. I would gladly take another trip, as I have more friends who have heard about our trips who would now like to go, too! The staff at Pilgrim Tours went above and beyond to help one of our friends from another country join our trip, even though this took extra work to coordinate. The price for the experience was just right for our budget and helped my family and friends grow in our walks with Christ by seeing first hand the the places where He walked Himself. I highly recommend Pilgrim Tours to anyone who wants to take a trip to the Holy Land.

I took a 10-day tour of Israel with Pilgrim Tours in October 2018, and quite frankly I did not want to go. I had been there two times before and was not impressed with the guides ... which makes all the difference in the world on any guided tour. But a friend persuaded me to go because he had experienced the quality of the guides on Pilgrim and convinced me that it would be eye-opening. He was right. The tour was excellent because the guide was superb ... knowledgeable, articulate, able to answer questions, and most personable. If you're going to Israel, you will be very happy when you go with Pilgrim Tours.

Our family of 5 took our first trip to Israel & Jordan in 2015 with some apprehension and many questions. Terry so patiently answered all my questions and set us at ease about any concerns we had. He did an excellent job with all the necessary details of the trip including helping us with flights. We took along our three kids who were at the time 20, 18, 14. We each enjoyed the trip immensely. The tour guides were knowledgeable and approachable and the transitions between hotels, seamless. The Bible became to us a pop-up book with all we saw and learned. I am longing to return and Pilgrim Tours will be who I will call without a doubt. As an added bonus, we still keep in touch with others who we toured with!

My family and I joined a tour to the Holy Land and Jordan in June 2018. Pilgrim Tours did an amazing job of the group tour. The arranged accommodations were high quality and everything went smoothly. The tour guides in both Jordan and Israel were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and gave us a great tour experience. I highly recommend using Pilgrim Tours for any trip you might be taking to Israel. We would love to do it again!

We were on an 11 day tour and cruise following in the footsteps of Paul and John to Greece and the Islands. While on the land tour in Greece we had an excellent guide with James. He shared a wealth of information with our group and helped make the Bible stories and history come alive. The accommodations were very good and it was well planed out trip. We would recommend this tour to anyone that might be considering this in the future

Over the past number of years I have been privileged to participate with six Bible tours through Pilgrim Tours. It all began with an Exodus Tour and we were so enriched that we decided to do a Steps of the Apostle Paul tour, a Return to Israel tour, an India tour, a Reformation tour, and most recently a Seven Churches of Revelation tour. Each one of these tours has so enriched my life and my faith in particular. I am deeply grateful for the tremendous service that Pilgrim Tours has provided through the years. I am looking forward to joining another tour very soon!

I scheduled my trip only two months before departure, and the booking agent was most helpful and friendly. The tour itself (Best of Israel 10 days) was well planned, smooth, and informative. The guide even called ahead to find out what sites were busy that day at what times, and did an excellent job rearranging our daily schedule to maximize our time and give us the best experience. The information he shared about the sites and Israel in general was wonderful. I really appreciated the Biblical perspective and when the guide read straight from the Bible. It was nice having a comfortable tour bus to drive us around the country, and a guide to point us to all the food and washroom stops. The hotels were great or at least fine, flights were smooth,...a good experience!

My husband and I wanted to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with a trip to Israel. I also wanted to see Turkey and Greece where the apostle Paul and John had spread the gospel. We took a small group from our church. We could not have been happier with Pilgrim Tours. We had a knowledgeable and amazing guide. The accomodations and food were top notch .I had hoped to ride a camel and was not disappointed when we enjoyed the Abraham's Tent experience! When someone in our tour group suffered a medical emergency, our guide accompanied her to the hotel and made sure everything was taken care of. The Mediterranean cruise was wonderful! And our Greek guide gave us deep insights into God's Word and the journey of the apostles to spread Christianity. The cost of the tour was reasonable in comparison to many ministry tours. I highly recommend Pilgrim Tours!

I enjoyed my trip to Israel with Pilgrim Tours. It was a very fascinating and enjoyable trip to many of the biblical locations and sites.

One of the things I did not like were the "Hotels" we were booked in. Some of the hotel rooms in the beginning of our seven (7) day trip were very cheap looking the beds looked more like children's twin beds. The interior design of the hotel rooms made me feel unsafe sleeping in them but, the last few days our hotels were more upgraded and I felt a lot more safer/comfortable.

Overall I enjoyed my Trip to Israel with Pilgrim Tours.

I took a trip to India with Pilgrim Tours. I believe it was the first trip like that that they had done, and despite it being rather experimental it was awesome! We saw the major sites in northern India, and got to spend a few days at a school in out in rural India. It was incredible to see both the urban and rural aspects of India, Pilgrim Tours created a great combination. I would travel with them again in a heartbeat.

We used Pilgrim Tours for a trip to Israel in March, 2019. Wonderful hotels. Our guide was outstanding. Scripture was put in context geographically and culturally. We understood scripture in a much better context. The trip was so good, that we organized another trip with Pilgrim in 2020 for over 40 members of our church and family. When we had to cancel the trip due to Covid-19, Pilgrim Tours handled all the details for us. Our group now plan to return to Israel in 2020, with Pilgrim Tours, of course.

My wife and I did a 10 day tour of Israel with Pilgrim. They were amazing. Everything about our tour was awesome, from the people to the accommodations, to the food, to the sights we saw. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. I highly recommend Pilgrim Tours.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 11 day Jordan-Israel tour in 2019! Irit Doron is a rock star tour guide!

I look forward to taking another Pilgrim tour in the near future!
