What travelers are saying

"Most of the people on this 17-day river cruise was quite elderly and infirm. Therefore the complimentary excursions were painfully slow walking. Local guides mostly told stories of their own upbringing and the conflicts they lived through. There was not much history on any of the excursions; and none of the buildings we saw gave us an opportunity to go inside, even the paid excursions. The accommodations were excellent, except that we paid for the best veranda but could not sit on our veranda because for the first 5 days our ship was packed tight next to another Viking ship. Food was good, except for dinners which were quite mediocre and never captured the flavor of the local foods."

What travelers are saying

"The people, platform, and program that Pilgrimm Tours provided made our experience extrordinary. It wasnt easy puting a tour together in these times yet we really wanted to go to Jordan and Israel. Pilgrim used discresion yet was proactive in making this tour available. In so doing we were afforded an amazing opportunity to see these lands and sights at a time where few people are going in. The guides were culturaly relevant and educated in a way to bring top tier information and experience of their world view in their home countries. The places we went were relavent to our interest levels, and the experiences we had were out of the Box. Pilgrim used thier itenerary along with our own ideas in a longer stay to accomodate our time away. We highly reccomend Pilgrim Tours out of PA."
