    Pilgrimage Tours

    Pilgrimage tours are an amazing outdoor experience that allow you to retrace the footsteps of historical pilgrims. Fascinated with history, culture, and the rituals of ancient religion? Want to take in the beauty of the countryside and the charming nature of rural villages? If so, then pilgrimage tours will be an incredible experience that you won’t soon forget!

    Many of these ancient pilgrimage routes are rooted in the Christian faith and travel to places with holy significance, such as the resting places of apostles or saints. Undertaking such a journey, while not necessarily done for religious reasons, allows travellers to reflect in both an inward and outward fashion, leaving many with a feeling of immense personal growth. With such positive effects, it’s easy to see why thousands of people have taken part in pilgrimage tours every year, spanning centuries.

    While many travellers will be familiar with the world famous Camino de Santiago in Spain, there are a number of other exceptional pilgrimage tours just waiting to be experienced. Whether it is the historic Menalon Trail in Greece, the Saint Francis Way in Italy, or the St. Paul Trail in Turkey, there are plenty of options out there that allow you to connect with religion, the surrounding environment, and yourself on a life changing pilgrimage tour.

    When is the Best Time to Book Pilgrimage Tours?

    As you will undoubtedly be spending a lot of time outdoors, the best time to book pilgrimage tours is the late-spring to early autumn window. During this period, weather will be the most favorable, trail conditions will be good, and you will have access to a full pilgrim infrastructure.

    While pilgrimage tours can certainly be completed outside of these windows to avoid higher levels of foot traffic, the downside is worse weather and the fact that many restaurants and accommodations may be closed for the off-season.

    Different Types of Pilgrimage Tours

    For those who don’t want to travel on foot, there are a number of biking pilgrimage tours that allow you to explore the same routes. If cycling through the countryside is more your style, then a biking pilgrimage tour will be the perfect option to choose.
