Join our pilgrimage to the Holy Land, departing on 15th October 2023. Our Holy Land pilgrimage is a once in a lifetime spiritual experience where pilgrims will explore the world’s most sacred destination.

Jerusalem and the Holy Land, the region between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, has been considered sacred by Christians but also by pilgrims of other faiths such as Jews and Muslims for many centuries.

For Christians, a pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a truly special journey, bringing pilgrims closer to God and faith. As we travel in the footsteps of Jesus as pilgrims, we can visit the places where he was born, lived, and preached, remembering episodes of his life, crucifixion, and resurrection.

A classic group pilgrimage to the Holy Land will take you to important biblical places such as Bethlehem and the church of the Nativity; the Mount of Olives as well as the Old City of Jerusalem where the group will walk the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Rock of Calvary.

At the fascinating Dead Sea the group will have time to relax and float on the water; take a boat trip across the Sea of Galilee and will also have the opportunity to renew your Baptismal vows at Yardinet, on the River Jordan.

Our Holy Land tour is led by a knowledgeable and experienced Joe Walsh Tours Pilgrimages guide who will assist your group during the trip. From flights and transport to accommodation and guided visits, our travel experts will look after all the details and logistics, so you can just relax and enjoy this trip of a lifetime.

A pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a truly fascinating spiritual journey to the oldest and most important and riveting pilgrimage destination in the world.”
