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"
