Your pilgrimage begins today as you depart on your flight to Toulouse.

DAY 2

Arrive Toulouse

Arrive Toulouse – Transfer to Lourdes

Upon arrival in Toulouse, we are greeted by our Holy Land Travel Center Representative and transfer to Lourdes, the town made famous by the Marian apparitions to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. Time permitting, we will join the candlelight processional.

DAY 3

Lourdes

Grotto of Massabielle, Basilica of St Pius X, Baths

This day we start with Mass at the Grotto of Massabielle, where our Lady appeared to Bernadette in 1858. Later we take our official group photo in front of the Basilica, followed by our guided tour of Lourdes. Our tour will include the Basilica of St. Pius X which is the world’s largest underground church; the Basilica of Lourdes, and the Baths where thousands of miraculous cures have taken place. In the evening, we join the candlelight processional.

DAY 4

Lourdes / Loyola / Santander

Pyrenees Mountains, Basilica of Loyola

This morning we depart Lourdes and drive through the Pyrenees Mountains of Loyola, the hometown of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. Here you will visit the Basilica, where we will celebrate Mass, and the tower house where he was born and lived. We continue to Santander for dinner and overnight.

DAY 5

Oviedo to Santiago De Compostela

Cathedral of Oviedo, Tomb of Asturian Kings, Camara Santa

Depart Santander this morning and drive to Oviedo, the capital of Asturias region. Here we will visit the Cathedral which houses the tombs of Asturian kings and the Camara Santa, a restored 9th century chapel containing expressive statues of Christ and the Apostles. We then head to Santiago de Compostela for dinner and overnight.

DAY 6

Santiago De Compostela

Santiago De Compostela Cathedral, Crypt of St. James

This morning we begin our visit of Santiago de Compostela, one of the most famous shrines in the world, where the tomb of St. James (brother of St. John the Apostle) was discovered. St. James was given the task of spreading Christianity in the distant Hispanic lands and is known as the first pilgrim. Since the discovery of the tomb, numerous miracles have taken place here and every year thousands of faithful gather on July 25 to celebrate the Feast Day. We begin with a visit to the Cathedral of St. James, one of the finest examples of architecture in all of Europe. As pilgrims, we have the opportunity to climb the stairs behind the high altar to visit the crypt where the relics of St. James are preserved, touch the central pillar (Portico de La Gloria), view the ‘botafumeiro’ and admire the wealth of medieval art inside the Cathedral, before visiting the cloister museum. Enjoy a stroll on own, though the beautiful streets of Santiago de Compostela, the city of the apostle, full of historical buildings and others. Dinner and overnight in Santiago de Compostela.

Optional Morning Walking Tour ~ This morning we set out to join the walking pilgrims at the Monte del Gozo from which the spires of the Cathedral are first visible. We will walk the last couple of miles of El Camino arriving at the Cathedral of St. James, the destination we have been yearning to reach. Continue to the Cloister Museum with our group.

DAY 7

Porto/Fatima

Today we depart Santiago de Compostela and continue to Porto where we will celebrate Mass at the Church of St. Francis. We’ll have the opportunity to visit a wine factory and have lunch on our own before driving to Fatima for dinner and overnight.

DAY 8

Fatima

Rosary & Candlelight Processional

This morning we visit Fatima where Our Blessed Mother visited three children, Lucia Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto in 1917. Lucia and Francisco were canonized by Pope Francis on May 13, 2017. Pope Francis declared Lucia as Venerable on June 22, 2023 which advances her cause for eventual canonization. We will visit their tombs at the Basilica of Fatima. This evening, we will participate in the Rosary and Candlelight Procession.

DAY 9

Lisbon

Today, we transfer to Lisbon for an orientation tour starting at the city’s oldest cathedral, Lisbon Cathedral. This Romanesque structure reflects the ancient culture and history of the city. Next, we visit St. Jerome’s Monastery, built in gratitude to the Virgin Mary for guiding Vasco da Gama’s voyage. The monastery’s maritime theme commemorates Portugal’s triumphs during the Age of Exploration. We then proceed to St. Anthony’s Church, built on the site of the saint’s birth and visited by Saint John Paul II in 1982. The tour concludes at Belem Tower in the Belem Quarter, where you can admire sculptures of St. Vincent and Our Lady of Safe Homecoming. We then transfer to our hotel for dinner and overnight.

What Our Customers Are Saying

"We will always remember that experience - one of the greatest memories of our lifetime. So glad you were there! We appreciated the good experience of the travel guides. They made us feel comfortable, were very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot. George was incredible to watch and listen to. We appreciated the fact that he started every day with a scripture reading that was based on what we were going to see that day. He made the Holy Land come to life for us and was able to make everything so interesting.”

Artie Davidson

"I just wanted to personally thank you for such a blessed and grace-filled pilgrimage. It was amazing and I was very much impressed. Please extend my thanks to George for being the best tour guide that a pilgrim could have. On behalf of the group, thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to experience the Holy land in a spiritual and Christian way!!! I will keep in touch with you for the next Holy land pilgrimage.”

Alicia Policarpio

"There are so many things to thank you for, but let me say that all of us had a pilgrimage of a life-time; this was my third pilgrimage to the Holy Land and was by far the best."

Deacon Donato Lucero

"I want to thank you for the wonderful tour of the Holy Land and Jordan. It is always a joy and inspiration to lead these tours, and I know that our people enjoy the special accommodations and events."

Fr. Michael J. Shea

"My trip to the Holy Land arranged by Issa Qumsieh was above and beyond my expectations. All was organized down to the last detail. Our arrival in Tel Aviv was welcomed by our guide George and driver Basann, who were waiting at the airport. Throughout our trip, our guide and bus driver were always prompted and ensured our safety. They guaranteed visitation to all historical sites in a timely manner. All hotel accommodations were optimal with meals provided. In the future when traveling overseas I will leave all travel plans to Issa Qumsieh with Holy Land travel. I have great confidence any travels plans will be handled with efficiency and professionalism. I highly recommend Holy Land travel / Issa Qumsieh to my friends, relatives and peers."

Eleanor Miranda

"We’ve just returned from our visit to the Holy Land with Father Vitus and I must say, it was an experience of a lifetime thanks to you and your family. From the moment we arrived at the airport to the moment we landed safely back in Albuquerque your efforts to ensure we all had a wonderful and safe experience was evident. Even though you did not travel with us on this particular tour I felt you were with us every step of the way. Upon our departure from Albuquerque you were at the airport to wish us safe travels and you were there upon our return."

Catherine Penick

"We just came back home and cannot stop talking about the pilgrimage. We have been to the Holy Land before but this is much better. It was very well planned. It is an A+."

Larry Martinez

"Happy New Year! The trip was awesome and a wonderful experienced. You are right; Claudia was an excellent tour guide and Oscar Jordan too. Thanks for giving us these wonderful tour guide. Someday we plan to go back to this tour. It is addictive. We have been almost all over the world but this is emotionally moving."

Fe Buenconsejo

“Indeed, we had a most memorable experience visiting all the holy/cultural sites in France, Spain, and Portugal. In retrospect, this awesome pilgrimage, under the direction of our Spiritual Guide, Fr. Ven, has culminated into a deeper spiritual growth. How privileged we were to have him accompany us!"

Eddie and Phyllis

"Good day. I just want to say thanks for outstanding service we received during Holy Land tour last Oct 19-31 (with Fr. Ven's Group from San Diego, CA). We enjoyed it very much."

Val Cortez

"We are back safe home after 10 days away. I just want to thank you for the beautiful and spiritual trip. That it is a very memorable and experience pilgrimage. Especially we were able to visit your family. I made a picture with your Mom and also your sisters and family. Send my nice regards to them. I missed them. I appreciate that we could go to the milk grotto that was out of the itinerary. Thank you abundantly and I will recommend people to travel with your travel agent to Holy Land. God bless."

Mariani

"The Hotels, destinations, guides, food, busses were beyond my expectations. Everyone was professional, solicitous and friendly. I felt the guides were knowledgeable and eager to take us to places of interest to all the pilgrims."

Monsignor Richard Olona

"We were a small family group who folded into the larger Fr. Martin group from St. Louis. We felt welcomed and accepted into their 'family'. The pace was aggressive, which we needed to be able to see everything. Both guides, Enza in Rome and Nadi in Israel were wonderful about informing the group how far we would be walking to the next site and the terrain. They were awesome at making accommodations for those who needed to adjust the speed. Enza worked hard to get us tickets to the Sistine Chapel on short notice and Nadi dealt with several pilgrims with health issues on the trip. He made us comfortable with the care our family member was receiving at the Israeli hospital. They were both extremely knowledgeable. We felt safe and cared for the entire trip. We would whole heartedly endorse this trip to anyone who asks for a referral. Deacon Dennis and Kim Patrick Guthrie Center, Iowa"
