Testimonials
Here’s what our friends say about us
“As a Franciscan priest guide I have had the opportunity of taking many pilgrimage groups run by the Garabedian agency and find them to be very conscientious as well as giving a ‘personal touch’ to their pilgrimages. I would, therefore, unreservedly recommend any Catholic organization or parish to utilize their services in making a Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Their reputation as a agency is impeccable.”
— Fr. Peter F. Vasko, OFM
Spiritual Director of Pilgrimages, St. Saviour’s Monastery
“In December 1992 the Mormon Tabernacle Choir took a lengthy and extensive tour visiting and performing at many of the historical sights in Israel. The choir, staff, and associated guests numbered over approximately 1000 people. The service George’s International provided was truly outstanding. The accommodations were most satisfactory and reasonably priced. Their attention to detail was superb and made our entire experience highly enjoyable and worry free.”

“It is a pleasure to recommend Garo Garabedian and George’s International Travel, to anyone who wishes to organize a pilgrimage. I have always found him anxious to insure that every member of the group is served as an individual and valued customer, and willing to make accommodations to insure that each person derives the maximum enjoyment and benefit from the experience.”
