Special Pilgrimages is a leading Christian Travel Company operating pilgrimages to destinations worldwide; from the Holy Land to Mexico, Italy, Spain and beyond. We have been offering our knowledge and expertise to travellers for over thirty five years and we offer an unrivalled first class service in organising pilgrimages for individual travellers and a tailor made service for groups. The company is now at its third generation in this vocational work. My father started our family office in Jerusalem 'Kim's Tourist & Travel Agency' in 1956 and we are specialists in organising pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Our family is very well known in this market and respected both locally and internationally. This affords us direct contact and solid connections with the local churches, organisations, charities and travel suppliers; an asset and a privilege, which we constantly share with our pilgrims. This combined with our professional expertise and experience means that we can ensure a memorable and spiritually fulfilling experience for any pilgrim travelling with us. Our ATOL license and our valid bond with the Civil Aviation Authority also provide you with the best available financial security. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any information.
Yours Sincerely,
