A religious pilgrimage is a specialized tour to destinations which bear historical and spiritual significance. Some of the more commonly known cities included in tours of this nature include Rome, Alexandria, Lourdes, and Jerusalem. These are, of course, just a few of the hundreds of religious destinations we have arranged in our pilgrimages.

Yes. We also arrange several secular international tours every year.

Yes. Occasionally, we do have last-minute cancellations. If a seat on a tour for which you are on the waiting list opens up, we will contact you. Another possibility is we can look for any additional seats on the flights for the tour, so that you'd still be able to join the group, but this is not guaranteed.

Yes we do. It is available in our Travel Terms & Conditions.

If you like a tour package that we offer, just print out the Booking Form featured on that tour's page, fill it out and mail it, along with your listed deposit, to us. You can also call us during our normal business hours to see if space is still available and sign up that way.

By all means, please call or e-mail us with your idea, and we will be happy to assist you! All of our tours are built by request. Just let us know where you'd like to go, and we can customize a tour that's right for you.

Unfortunately, credit cards require processing fees. We make every effort keep the price of our tours as affordable for everybody as possible, and factoring in these fees would force us to raise our rates. Besides, we are currently under contract not to pass along these fees to our customers, meaning we would have to record them as a loss.

The deposit is due at the same time you submit your Booking Form. It’s critical for us to have your deposit when you sign up, because we use it to hold your airline seat and hotel reservations. Without a deposit, we would be unable to confirm your space on the tour.

Yes, you may FAX it to us at (714)638-8358. If you do, we can place a temporay hold for your place on the tour, but we must still receive your depost or payment within five (5) days, or you will forfeit your space. Remember, all of our tours are booked on a first-come-first- served basis, so the sooner you send in your deposit, the better chance you will have of guaranteeing a spot.

Unfortunately, Booking Forms must be submitted in hardcopy (printed) form. We do not yet have the capability for electronic Booking Forms.

In order to read and print the Booking Form, you must have the latest edition of Adobe Reader installed on your computer. Click here to download and install Adobe Reader (opens in a new window).

You are welcome to remit full payment for your pilgrimage or tour up until 70 days prior to departure. Due to fluctuations in international markets, however, we usually do not have the final price of a given pilgrimage or tour right away, but we will have an estimated price available for you. If there are any changes in the price of your tour, your bill will be adjusted accordingly.

We strongly recommend travel insurance for all of our tours and pilgrimages. In some cases, travel insurance is mandatory, particularly in areas of political turmoil. By purchasing this insurance, you are protected from financial loss due to unexpected events, such as last-minute tour cancellations (they do happen from time to time), as well as other events beyond your and our control which may affect your trip. We set up travel insurance for a tour in such a way so that if any tour members did not sign up for it, the price of the policy would increase for everyone else. Therefore, we encourage everyone to purchase travel insurance to take advantage of the lowest rate possible.

Yes. You will receive updated information in the mail as soon as we have it.

These letters represent meal codes for your tour:

• B -- Continental Breakfast
• BB -- Full Buffet Breakfast
• D -- Dinner

Typically, we do not include lunches on our tours, but there are exceptions to that rule. Whenever we do offer any lunches on a given tour, you will see the meal code L for that day.

Our tours and pilgrimages are set up far in advance, sometimes by as much as two years, and airline companies typically do not release airfare information that far down the road. In cases like this, we have to list airfare as a temporarily excluded item from the cost of the tour. Once we do have airfare information (usually 8-12 months prior to departure), we will adjust the cost of the tour accordingly.

Since we arrange pilgrimages and tours for people and organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada, the Airport of Origin will vary. Typically, the Airport of Origin will be the nearest large hub international airport (e.g.: LAX, DFW, DEN, ORD, JFK, etc.) from where the host of the pilgrimage/tour lives. If ten (10) or more passengers plan to leave from the same remote airport, however, we can make arrangements for them to embark, as a group, on the tour/pigrimage from there, instead of the Airport of Origin. For example, a tour to the British Isles is set up with round-trip air from Los Angeles International to London Heathrow, but there are 15 people living in the greater Dallas area who signed up for the tour. They will then have the option (as a group) to depart from Dallas-Fort Worth and fly directly to London Heathrow, bypassing Los Angeles altogether. Of course, exercising this option may affect the price of the tour, depending on airfare from the secondary location.

You will have to make arrangements to arrive at the Airport of Origin no later than three hours prior to departure. If you wish, we can make those arrangements for you and add it to the cost of your trip; just indicate it on the Booking Form and let us know what your city of departure will be. If you are part of a group of ten (10) or more people living out of the area, we can make a special arrangement for you (See above).

We have that information available here.
