TESTIMONIALS
I am a Catholic priest and pastor who studied in Rome and who loves to travel, especially taking groups to places like Italy. I have been on trips organized by others, I have organized my own trips, and I have enlisted Pilgrimage Tours on my most recent two trips to Italy and Austria. I am so happy I was able to use this tour company. I have had nothing but excellent service on the trips I have taken with them, and have two more trips, to Italy and to Ireland, in the works.
First, there is the personal service and the ability to craft my own pilgrimage with the expert help of Pilgrimage Tours. They are just a phone call or an email away to answer questions, make plans, and check on enrollment for the pilgrimage. Second, it can be a thoroughly Catholic trip. Great sites and shrines are suggested, and Mass is set up each day if you want. They cover all the bases and provide a full and engaging pilgrimage that won’t disappoint. They are easy to work with and are very flexible to the personalized trips I like to plan.
In addition to the service provided by the home base in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Pilgrimage Tours employs the best tour guides possible, along with capable and friendly bus drivers. The tour guides work over time to ensure a smooth trip. They are super prepared for all the sites and are always at the service to the group leader and group members. As the priest-chaperone, you can just sit back, relax and enjoy, as you attend to the spiritual needs of your group, without having to worry about logistics. And it is an affordable price, which includes flight, transportation, hotel, any tickets, tips, and two meals a day.
I highly recommend Pilgrimage Tours for any priest or pastor who wants to have a great trip to the most important Catholic destinations in the world.
I wanted to thank you for putting together another wonderful pilgrimage for us this past October. We had a great time visiting all the beautiful places you set up for us to visit. We are also very grateful that you have been able to get Maria Bernardi to be our guide for all our pilgrimages. She is an excellent guide and takes very good care of us. We’ve had very favorable comments from the pilgrims regarding our recent tour, with most expressing the desire to join us for the next one in 2017.
It’s hard to believe that this was our fifth pilgrimage (starting in 2006) and they have all been with your company, Pilgrimage Tours. We are looking forward to planning for the next one which will be Ireland.
Again we appreciate the work and effort you put into our pilgrimages and look forward to working with you again.
My name is Maria Corsentino. I had the privilege to work with Eric Scheirer from Pilgrimage Tours this year. Mr. Scheirer scheduled a religious pilgrimage tour for my church St. Jerome’s Catholic Church in Clute, Texas, this past October2006. The trip was scheduled to visit Rome, The Vatican, Assisi, and Florence. Our tour was composed of 42 pilgrims including Fr. James Lynes from our church.
We are pleased with the person assigned to us as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She stayed with us at all times and luckily we didn’t have any problems. Also, we were very much pleased with the person assigned to us as our driver. After seeing the way people drive in Rome, our driver was very courteous and friendly. He made us feel safe while we were on the bus.
The hotels we stayed in were very comfortable. Again, the guide took care of our checking in every time we arrived at each hotel.
I would like to add that Pilgrimage Tours is a very reputable tour company. The reason I chose Pilgrimage Tours is because I learned that they also arranged a tour for a church in Bryan, Texas. When I contacted that church, they also gave me a good recommendation.
I have worked with Eric from Pilgrimage Tours for about a year planning a pilgrimage to the Holy Land for 45 people, including our parish priest. Eric was a pleasure to work with and he left no stone unturned to make sure our pilgrimage would be a great success. He was accommodating to all of our group’s special needs and goals during the tour.
We just returned from our pilgrimage and it was fantastic beyond words. It truly was an experience of a lifetime. Our tour guide and driver were wonderful. I’ve done several tours over the years and our guide was so knowledgeable that he literally made the Holy Land and its history come alive. Everyone felt the pilgrimage exceeded their expectations and everything was so well planned. I would highly recommend Eric and Pilgrimage Tours for any group interested in embarking on a pilgrimage, in every sense of the word. We will definitely use Eric and his company again for any future tours that we plan.
If you would care to speak with me personally
We just came back from our Marian Shrines pilgrimage, and we want to thank you for a meaningful and wonderful experience. Laura, our guide, was excellent. She was very, very, very impressive. Laura took good care of us. She had a deep knowledge of Catholic literature, European history and culture. She has very good language and people skills. Laura was amazing! She made our pilgrimage perfect in every way, and made the experience memorable and very special for us.
Again, we want to thank you!
