Question 1

What is included in the cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost includes lodging, breakfast and dinner for each day, transportation and all entry fees.  It does not include travel to and from the point of embarkcation, lunches or gratuities.

Question 2

How many people come on a typical pilgrimage?

Accepted Answer

We intentionally keep our pilgrimages small (no more than 20, including the guides) because we feel this enhances your experience as an individual pilgrim as well as our group's communal experience.

Question 3

Is there going to be a lot of walking?

Accepted Answer

While we travel to most pilgrimage sites via private coach, some walking is frequently required.  If you have questions about this, please contact us.

Question 4

Do I need to pay my entire fee up front?

Accepted Answer

Your fee is divided into four payments: a modest, nonrefundable registration fee to secure your place, plus three additional payments spread over a six-month period.

Question 5

What if I want to travel before or after the pilgrimage?

Accepted Answer

Many pilgrims like to pursue individual travel plans in conjunction with the pilgrimage.  If sightseeing is on your agenda, we recommend doing this before the pilgrimage starts, as experience has shown that adjusting to being tourists after the pilgrimage ends can be challenging.
