Our knowledgeable team of travel experts has decades of experience organising tours and welcoming pilgrims to historic destinations such as the Holy Land, Rome and Santiago de Compostela; as well as the Marian shrines of Lourdes, Fatima and Medjugorje.
Our Special Tours bring pilgrims to important religious events such as World Youth Day, as well as the pilgrim trails of the Camino de Santiago.
We also have a selection of Pilgrimage and Coast tours where spirituality can be combined with a few relaxing days at the seaside.
The Joe Walsh Tours travel team has been an expert on Pilgrimages for many decades. These are some of the many reasons our clients travel with us:
“Thank you for a wonderful service you have provided to Lourdes with the Lancaster Diocese 2024. Liz, your Repersentive, was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable.
We shall be using Joe Walsh tours again on other Pilgrimages we plan to do.”
I recently used Joe Walsh Tours for my first ever trip to Medjugorje . I booked the trip on recommendation from a friend of mine who uses JWT all the time.
I was extremely impressed with the many aspects of our guides Svjetlana, Katherina, Draganna, and Milkika in the JWT office who was always on hand willing to help out with any query. All JWT staff went way over and above the call of duty. Their friendly approach, timekeeping, faith and their deep connection to Medjugorje shone through on every occasion we met and this made each excursion very fulfilling and enjoyable.
As a practicing Catholic, I found all the JWT personnel in Medjugorje to be very commendable people and they were a great inspiration to me. This trip was a very deepening experience for me and I hope to return soon. I will be recommending Medjugorje to anyone I feel is open to going there but in particular I will be recommending the JWT tour and the excellence of its personnel in Medjugorje.
I would like to thank you all for the trip to Lourdes which I won last December and which I undertook earlier this month. The trip was seamless organised and we had a very spiritual and happy time in Lourdes.
Joan, our JWT representative was amazing, so helpful and made the whole trip so memorable. I will remember my experience for a long time to come.
I absolutely adore Lourdes…it’s my medicine for when things get a little bit too much.
I’ve been going for years now, always tracking with JWT in the capable and knowledgeable hands of Fionnuala and Caroline and the amazing team of representatives on the ground in Lourdes.
I was lucky to travel to San Giovanni Rotondo in September 2023.
It was the most wonderful experience and we got to view the remains of St. Padre Pio in his final resting place of a glass casket.
We were delighted to have a wonderful guide. I would fully recommend this trip.
I travelled to Lourdes in July this year with my daughter, two sisters and some friends.
From start to finish it was a wonderful trip due in no small part to Joan’s friendly, inclusive and very professional leadership.
It was a very special trip with very special people.
Its almost a month now since we returned from Italy. Many thanks for all your assistance. Thanks also to Mario who was a fantastic guide.
Everyone has said how much they enjoyed the pilgrimage.
Really enjoyed our pilgrimage to Medjugorje this year. It was wonderful for our group to be led again by Philip.
A very special Thank You to Gabriel, whose customer service was outstanding, when he came on board managing our trip. All enquiries and call backs were dealt with very professionally. Will be in touch to plan our next pilgrimage. God bless all.
I travelled with Joe Walsh tours to Lourdes in July 2023. Everything was organised very well.
Our group leader Joan was amazing and really went the extra mile to ensure that we had a great experience both spiritually and socially. Each ceremony was beautifully organised and we got to know our fellow pilgrims very quickly. I came back spiritually refreshed.
I am just home from a pilgrimage with Joe Walsh Tours in Medjugorje. Philip Ryan and his team out there are second to none. From the day my pilgrimage was booked with the JWT office in Dublin, I knew my trip was in safe hands. From the minute we got off the plane and were guided to Medjugorje by Julia to our departure with Enes, nothing is too much to ask of the JWT staff. It is such a special place where JWT staff guide pilgrims to have a very memorable pilgrimage under the guidance of Our Lady.
I was on the pilgrimage to Malta from October 10th to 17th with Fr. Crossey. It was a truly memorable experience. “Faith and fun.” We were with a lovely devout and friendly group and we had great fun. We saw all the island as well as Gozo. The cruises and boat trip were magic.
Looking forward to the next one.
Wonderful pilgrimage to Fatima. Carina and Elsa, our guides, were the best I have ever known. The spiritual message and the practical arrangements were both communicated with great clarity.
