In 2018, I took the 10 day tour to Israel with Pilgrim Tours. I chose this tour company because it was the only one that fit into my Spring Break at school. In addition, the price was fair. They allowed me to buy my own airfare and meet at the starting point. I wasn't sure what to expect as I prefer to tour on my own. All I can say is, "WOW"! Our tour guide was excellent. I LOVED meeting new friends and the fact that this was a tour of Believers was awesome. Most Israel tour groups seem to go with their churches, so they know people. My husband and I didn't know anyone, but that was never an issue. The tour was smooth and well run. The hotels were super nice. The view from our room on the Sea of Galilee was especially amazing. I highly recommend Pilgrim Tours and would definitely travel with them again!

Wonderful tour schedule in Turkey and Greece as we visited the cities mentioned in the Gospels and Revelation. Tour guides were excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area we traveled in. Still friends with them. All details were seen too and no problems. Would gladly use Pilgrim again.

A friend and I went to Israel about 3 years ago. I think it was the 10 Day Best of Israel Tour. I have never been to Israel before that trip. We both had a great time. We saw lots of places mentioned in The Bible along with historic places not mentioned in the Bible. I can not recall a lot of detail because of it being a few years ago. (3 years ago I think). Everything was scheduled and arranged by Pilgrim Tours. All I had to do was renew my passport, pay the $$ and show up when and where I was told. Every thing was well organized. Good communication. October was a perfect time to go. It was a bit hotter than usual, but was not humid. The lodging was satisfactory and the meals were excellent. We had a Christian tour guide who was very knowledgeable. We were given some sort of audio device that made it so we could all hear what he was saying without difficulty. The days were busy. I feel we saw as much as we possibly could on this trip. We were on a bus with the same 35 people every day.

I joined Pilgrim Tours for a tour in 2018. They did a great job organizing the trip and educating participants. I was blessed by the experience.

I have been on 8 Pilgrim tours to 6 countries. 5 of those tours were to Israel, the latest being the Best of, 10 day tour in January of 2020. All of my trips with Pilgrim have been of outstanding quality. The guides are always professional and knowledgeable, the itinerary well-thought, and the pace of schedule very manageable. I have very little concern about how a trip is going to go when I'm with Pilgrim.

My most recent Israel tour was my first leading a private tour. Pilgrim made it a wonderful event. What I like most about Pilgrim, is the willingness of the front staff to accommodate needs and work with a group's requests. My impression is that they are a big business, with a small business feel.

My husband and I travelled on the Best of Jordan/Israel tour in May of 2019. Despite a snowstorm that set us back 1 day , Pilgrim tours made sure we didn't miss Petra ! We wanted a Christian tour and that is what we got. Our lovely Jordanian guide was so knowledgeable, experienced and great to travel with on air conditioned buses ! The food was wonderful, weather great and the border crossing into Israel was smooth thanks to Pilgrim Tours . The hotels were very nice , food excellent, and we loved staying at the kibbutz resort on the Sea of Galillee. One guide went out of her way to fix a problem for us. The Whisper devices made it easy to hear everything our guide had to say and stay with the group. Our group was larger than most but Avi kept us herded and happy ! Water was plentiful to keep us hydrated and bathroom stops were regular. Halellujah ! It would have been nice to have time to swim in all those nice hotel pools. Swimming in the Dead Sea was fabulous. We would love to go back and spend more time at Masada, Caesaria Phillipi, and the Holocaust museum. We would travel again with Pilgrim Tours and take a different tour next time . Take your trip of a lifetime !

The 10 day Israel Tour was absolutely fabulous. Our itinerary was wonderful, balanced and timed well. Our tour guide was great, providing educational Biblical and historical perspective at each stop. It was also refreshing to tour with fellow Christians from different parts of the world. Lodging and food were also excellent. I look forward to my next Pilgrim tour.

We had a very nice experience with Pilgrim Tours. They are detailed in their planning and want everyone to have a good time. We had a very good guide who was very knowledgeable and fun. Overall, a great trip to England, Ireland and Scotland.

Traveled to Israel in 2017. My tour was very well organized! Great hotels and we loved our tour guide and driver! Looking forward to one day returning and will definitely book with pilgrim!

Our Egyptian guide was amazing. We were very fortunate to have the best. We were impressed with his knowledge. The entire trip was well organized. The bus drivers were very professional and took excellent care of us. All of the accommodations were very nice. The most amazing part of the trip was Israel. Trip of a life time. I highly recommend Pilgrims tours.

One of the best experience I had!

Our tour of Israel was thoughtfully planned, well-executed, and fulfilled a lifelong desire to get to know Bible-lands in a deeply meaningful way. Our guide, Catherine, was a major part of the satisfaction due to her extensive knowledge of scripture and current events. Highlights include Gethsemane, the Dead Sea, Jerusalem and the old city, Masada, and the Temple Mount. We really enjoyed accommodations at modest cost, special meals, even shopping! A very special trip of a unique place in human history!

Pilgrim has taken me on three tours and they were all excellent. The guides, the hotels, the food, the company...we enjoyed it all. We went to Israel/Jordan, Ireland, and Turkey/Greece. All trips were comfortable and safe and I would recommend Pilgrim to anyone!

The trip to Israel will always remain a special experience and a return trip is already in discussions for 2022. Everything ran like clock-work, all accommodations and meals were excellent. About 40 people were on our bus from various parts of the world. Our bus driver was friendly and fun. He played and sang along with "Jerusalem" every time we entered the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the places we visited, their historical significance and he referenced and read from the Bible throughout the trip. He was adept at working out all the logistics and even added a couple of extras places. To be at the Sea of Galilee where Jesus spent so much time in his ministry was thrilling and probably my single most favorite part of the trip. I would have been happy to have stayed there longer. So many memorable places; from the first day to the last. A few highlights would be Caesarea, being baptized in the Jordan River, Masada, Israeli and Holocaust Museums, communion in a lovely garden where Jesus might have been buried and the entire city of Jerusalem. I strongly urge you to take this trip. You won't regret it!

My cruise/tour of Egypt and the Nile was amazing! The trip was seamless, and everything went as smoothly as possible. I felt like I didn't have to do anything other than enjoy the trip. I plan on booking another vacation with Pilgrim in the near future.

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.

Our Guide Irit was fantastic. The hotels that we stayed in were very satisfactory as was our meals. We had so many different experiences. Irit fitted a few more 'extras' into our itinerary too. If I were to ever tour Israel again, I would do it with Pilgrim Tours and also hopefully get Irit again

My family took a tour of Egypt, Israel and Jordan with Pilgrim Tours and they were fantastic! We made friend with the other families along, the tour guides and learned so much in each country. I would definitely take another tour with them (wanting to head to Europe next time). Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful 19-day trip to Egypt, Jordan and Israel through Pilgrim Tours. Steve Fidler, our agent, did a great job detailing everything we needed to know in order to make our trip something we will never forget. Our tour guides in each country were so knowledgeable and interesting, each bringing a different appreciation for their country. We met many wonderful people in our group who were from across the US and Canada. Our only wish is that we could have spent more time there! We really loved everything about our trip.
