Our knowledgeable team of travel experts has decades of experience organising tours and welcoming pilgrims to historic destinations such as the Holy Land, Rome and Santiago de Compostela; as well as the Marian shrines of Lourdes, Fatima and Medjugorje.
Our Special Tours bring pilgrims to important religious events such as World Youth Day, as well as the pilgrim trails of the Camino de Santiago.
We also have a selection of Pilgrimage and Coast tours where spirituality can be combined with a few relaxing days at the seaside in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy or Croatia.
The Joe Walsh Tours travel team has been an expert on Pilgrimages for many decades. These are some of the many reasons our clients travel with us:
“Absolutely fantastic Joe Walsh team ! Every single one of them. Hotel Padoue is an excellent hotel and the staff are so friendly and helpful.
Thank you all for a wonderful pilgrimage to Lourdes. Will definitely return soon.”
“Had a great time with JWT in Portugal. It was soul and body retreat and within a week we managed to cover all important things. From Fatima, Lisbon to Estoril, from heavenly to earthly and beyond. Our tour guides Elsa and Carina were knowledgeable and caring, whilst the trip also offered a good balance for your own spare time. Lovely! Thank you”
I recently used Joe Walsh Tours for my first ever trip to Medjugorje . I booked the trip on recommendation from a friend of mine who uses JWT all the time.
I was extremely impressed with the many aspects of our guides Svjetlana, Katherina, Draganna, and Milkika in the JWT office who was always on hand willing to help out with any query. All JWT staff went way over and above the call of duty. Their friendly approach, timekeeping, faith and their deep connection to Medjugorje shone through on every occasion we met and this made each excursion very fulfilling and enjoyable.
As a practicing Catholic, I found all the JWT personnel in Medjugorje to be very commendable people and they were a great inspiration to me. This trip was a very deepening experience for me and I hope to return soon. I will be recommending Medjugorje to anyone I feel is open to going there but in particular I will be recommending the JWT tour and the excellence of its personnel in Medjugorje.
I just wanted to say as it was my first trip to Lourdes and with Joe Walsh tours, the service was excellent from your colleagues especially Sandra and Liz who were so friendly and helpful throughout the trip. I highly recommend the service and will definitely be back again.
I would like to thank you all for the trip to Lourdes which I won last December and which I undertook earlier this month. The trip was seamless organised and we had a very spiritual and happy time in Lourdes.
Joan, our JWT representative was amazing, so helpful and made the whole trip so memorable. I will remember my experience for a long time to come.
I travelled to Lourdes in July this year with my daughter, two sisters and some friends.
From start to finish it was a wonderful trip due in no small part to Joan’s friendly, inclusive and very professional leadership.
It was a very special trip with very special people.
I was lucky to travel to San Giovanni Rotondo in September 2023.
It was the most wonderful experience and we got to view the remains of St. Padre Pio in his final resting place of a glass casket.
We were delighted to have a wonderful guide. I would fully recommend this trip.
I absolutely adore Lourdes…it’s my medicine for when things get a little bit too much.
I’ve been going for years now, always tracking with JWT in the capable and knowledgeable hands of Fionnuala and Caroline and the amazing team of representatives on the ground in Lourdes.
Its almost a month now since we returned from Italy. Many thanks for all your assistance. Thanks also to Mario who was a fantastic guide.
Everyone has said how much they enjoyed the pilgrimage.
We had a wonderful time on a pilgrimage to Rome. The tour guide was first class, very friendly, helpful and had an expert knowledge on every area of the city.
The accommodation was beautiful, clean, great facilities and the food was very nice.
I am looking forward to booking further tours in the future with Joe Walsh Tours.
Really enjoyed our pilgrimage to Medjugorje this year. It was wonderful for our group to be led again by Philip.
A very special Thank You to Gabriel, whose customer service was outstanding, when he came on board managing our trip. All enquiries and call backs were dealt with very professionally. Will be in touch to plan our next pilgrimage. God bless all.
I travelled with Joe Walsh tours to Lourdes in July 2023. Everything was organised very well.
Our group leader Joan was amazing and really went the extra mile to ensure that we had a great experience both spiritually and socially. Each ceremony was beautifully organised and we got to know our fellow pilgrims very quickly. I came back spiritually refreshed.
