Rev. Eric Ritter – Our Lady of Perpetual Help, San Antonio

I was truly blessed and honored to be on one of the first Pilgrimages with Nativity Pilgrimage. They are so hands-on with the Pilgrimages. They took a personal interest in each pilgrimage to ensure, first and foremost, the safety of the pilgrims and customer service. The quality of hotels is outstanding, and the cost is minimized to make it affordable for all who want to journey to the Holy Land, Marian Shrines, visit the Saints in Europe, and other religious sites. My travels with other agencies do not compare to the excellence of the pilgrimages offered by Nativity Pilgrimage.

5-star review
Jessica – Archdiocese of Atlanta

This has been a fantastic tour and a wonderful experience on our first Nativity Pilgrimage tour. We were so excited to come to Fatima on the 100 anniversary. Traveling to Spain, Lourdes, and Paris has been a trip of a lifetime for all of us! Our tour leader and drivers could not have made this Pilgrimage any better! We always felt safe! Our guide’s attention to detail showed in every way throughout this tour. The hotels, meals, and tours were great. We are looking forward to planning our next Pilgrimage soon.

Fr. Pat – Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, TX

I had the opportunity to go with Nativity Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Our guide Amer, the driver, and everyone else contributed to making the pilgrimage one that we will remember forever, and indeed, we did!!!! Over the last couple of years, I have had the pleasure to lead two pilgrimages to the Holy Land arranged by Nativity Pilgrimage. With their knowledge and contacts in the Holy Land, they have been able to arrange wonderful pilgrimages for us. We love working with Nativity Pilgrimage. We love the support that they provide.

Kerry and Mary – Lake Charles, LA

We traveled to the Holy Land with Nativity Pilgrimage and enjoyed the trip very much. It was well organized and included a great variety of sights to see. We had a large group of about 50 people, and they were able to provide everyone with a memorable experience. Nativity Pilgrimage handled all travel arrangements and even came up with a good solution when our flight to New York was canceled. We would use Nativity Pilgrimage again!

I thoroughly enjoyed my 10-day pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Nativity Pilgrimage organized a super trip so we could see many religious sites. A fantastic tour guide was arranged for us, and the entire trip was great! When our tour organizers decided to postpone the trip, Nativity continued to work with us to ensure a magnificent pilgrimage. I felt safe at all times.
