We invite you to review our itineraries and consider making plans for your future pilgrimage with Classic Pilgrimages. We are glad to assist you with every detail and concern you may have, whether you have a small party joining one of our scheduled departures or would like a private customized tour with your own bus.
Our highly faithful and devoted staff will help you plan your day-by-day itinerary, book the most convenient and economical flights from your hometown area, and suggest the most effective ways of promoting your pilgrimage to your parishioners. In addition to scheduled and customized pilgrimages, we have programs for two upcoming events: World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney, Australia, and the famous Passion Play 2010 in Oberammergau, Germany. Please be advised that these highly anticipated events are only available on a first-come, first-served basis, as space is limited. Priority Interest Lists are being developed right now, and we encourage you to call us at (800) 682-3377 as early as possible to discuss all the available options for these events.
There are several ways to work with us on your next pilgrimage:
A: Book one of our scheduled departures
This option works best when the itinerary and dates are most convenient and your group is too small to require a private bus.
B: Book one of our existing itineraries "as is" with a departure date of your choice
You may have your own bus and choose your own departure date, at the published rate, with a minimum of 30 paying pilgrims per bus. A private "sole use" bus can be arranged for less than 30 paying pilgrims with the appropriate price adjustment.
C: Your own customized itinerary
Should your group prefer a specific itinerary which differs from our scheduled pilgrimages, we will be glad to create a customized one for you. We can customize any itinerary for groups from 15 to 500+ pilgrims. Tours may be operated with any number of pilgrims as per person rates reflect the actual size of the group. In addition to the holy sites and shrines featured on our site, for custom groups we can provide services at Avignon, Rocamadur, La Salette, Ars, and Paray le Monial in France; Loyola, Leon, and Garabandal in Spain; Mexico City, Mexico, and anywhere else in the world.
With several options available, we guarantee to deliver the best value and highest quality services at the most competitive rates.
Our hotels are of the highest standards within their category and are always conveniently located. Our tour escorts and local guides are regarded as the best in the industry, and are familiar with Catholic traditions and history, fluent in English, and very knowledgeable about their localities.
There is a nice balance of included meals and "free" nights on all of our tours, allowing pilgrims to taste local cuisine and flavors. Our itineraries are moderately paced, enabling more time at the most historic sites and locales. Most overnight stays are 2 nights, and 1-night stays are limited only when necessary. At several locations we feature longer stays of 3 nights.
In addition to the greatest value and itinerary flexibility, Classic Pilgrimages offers the most generous benefits for group leaders and organizers. We will be happy to explain all the benefits to you in person, so please call us at (800) 682-3377 at your earliest convenience.
We are looking forward to assisting you with your future pilgrimages, and again, we thank you for your generous support to Classic Pilgrimages.
In Christ,
Your Classic Pilgrimages Team
