Walk in the footsteps of the apostles, saints and early pilgrims.

Pilgrimage Tours
specialise in tours to the significant sites for Christians worldwide and cover the major religious sites, places of miracles and other important places.

The pilgrimages are led by experienced tour leaders and tour chaplains.

A pilgrimage can often be described as a “special package holiday” and it is true that our tours combine the best elements of an organised tour, visiting the major places of interest in your destination, in the company of others and with a tour escort, however they also have a unique religious theme.

Our experienced tour escorts ensure the daily arrangements and concerns are looked after for you, allowing you time to relax, take in the sights, experiences and information and time to reflect on the history and significance of the places visited.

The groups are always kept to a small number so you have the chance to meet new friends and you have the space to relax and reflect, or partake in extra activities – as you wish.
