“Mike and I thoroughly enjoyed our pilgrimage. Raed was an incredible guide, very knowledgeable, reflective, and spiritual. The timing to each site sure seemed perfect as we always managed to beat the crowds. We also loved our traveling companions and forming some new friendships. We loved having the Seminarians on our trip as well!”

“Our tour manager, Raed, was truly exceptional! He is a man of deep faith and conviction. His narrations and explanations throughout the pilgrimage were particularly effective, because we knew he believed in what he was saying. Above all, I came away from the pilgrimage with a sense of solidarity with Christians living in the Middle East. Their struggle to live their faith, in an often-hostile environment, is inspirational to me.”

“The pilgrimage was well planned since we saw many more sites than we expected. Each day moved along like clockwork. It was informative and our Jewish tour guide was very informed, respectful and knowledgeable. Frankly, he knew the old and new testament of the bible better than most Catholics. It was exciting being in places that one only reads about and sees on TV. Scenes from the highest mountain tops to the lowest parts of the dead sea, it was historic seeing thousands of years of civilization revealed to us before our eyes, it was enlightening and spiritual walking in the same steps of Jesus and seeing where he suffered and died. At no time during the pilgrimage did we feel threatened or in danger in any way. Frankly my wife and I felt we would be more at risk walking the streets of New York or Miami than we did in Israel. Finances permitting, we hope to make the Pilgrimage again in the future.”

“I would like to thank you again for a stellar pilgrimage! All 50 pilgrims seemed to truly enjoy themselves and the service they received. The Tour Manager, Isaac, was excellent and easy to work with. He had a great sense of humor and an excellent rapport with our group, and his knowledge of the Holy Land was superb! Many thanks for a job well done!”

“I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful trip to Israel! It was truly a very lovely and spiritual time. I have told people repeatedly that I would go to Israel before I would go to Rome. Rome is the history of the Church and is very beautiful, but Israel is where Jesus was!”

“I have no doubt of recommending Unitours to my brother priests! “

“Truly a once in a lifetime adventure.”

“Our trip was better than our highest expectations! The hotels were great, good food and we appreciated our Tour Manager, Isaac. Thank you so much!”

“When I was carrying the cross during our Via Dolorosa Pilgrimage was the event that stood out the most. Four pilgrims took turns to carry the cross. My sister and a cousin had been to Pilgrimages like this one, BUT they did not have the experience of carrying the cross, they only walked the Via Dolorosa. Carrying the cross was impactful for me. A must on future tours. “

After traveling with another tour group, “And, of course, my whole time in the Holy Land, I kept thinking, "Unitours does such a better job!" It's all about the details!

Our recent Holy Land pilgrimage was such a fantastic experience on so many levels; spiritually, historically, culturally, archaeologically. I am still amazed at how much we were able to see and do in such a short amount of time. It will take me weeks to mentally process it all, and I am sure that the memories will be with me a lifetime. Our guide, Isaac, and driver, Issam, were wonderful, and Fathers Peter and Michael were superb spiritual leaders.

I must admit I was somewhat apprehensive about visiting Israel in these troubling times, but I never once felt the least bit threatened or uncomfortable about my safety. Israel is a beautiful and fascinating country, with lovely and kind people. The news reports on US television give a very distorted view of what things are like in the Holy Land. Anyone who is thinking about going should not hesitate for a moment because of their unwarranted fears. Many thanks for making this opportunity available to our parish and for coordinating all those details that made for an exceptionally enriching experience.

“If I had to sum up the pilgrimage in just two words I would say, overwhelming amazing. From the first moment we arrived, our tour guide was full of information to broaden our horizons in the biblical places and the historical content of the places. He was warm and welcoming. His humor helped to make our trip very enjoyable.

Our hotel accommodations were wonderful both in Tiberias and Jerusalem, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back to Israel in a heartbeat. Of the pilgrimages, by far this was the most moving and transforming for me as a priest.”

“Our pilgrimage to the Holy Land was absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for your wonderful plan for us. We came to love and appreciate our Tour Manager, Isaac, his grasp of history and geography were delightful. He helped it all come alive for us. The food in Israel was a pleasant surprise and the hotels were lovely. Many thanks for a fantastic trip – one we will never forget.”

“Thank you for all you have done to make this Journey great for this group. Everyone had a great time! All your efforts before, during, and after are greatly appreciated as well. “

“The Holy Land pilgrimage I just went on, was an enriching, wonderful experience. The tour manager, Jerry, as well as the bus driver, Tiger, went above and beyond every day, exhibiting knowledge and flexibility so important to the success of such a tour! Thank you!”

“Our tour manager/guide, Roni, was excellent and so knowledgeable and everyone grew to love him! The bus driver was also great and kept us safe and happy! I can't thank you enough for everything you did to help me plan this trip and guide our every step. The hotels were nice, and we appreciated the selection and locations. I would not hesitate to book another trip - some people are already asking "where are we going next?" and that is a good sign. On behalf of Fr. Joseph and myself, please accept our deepest thanks!”
