Reservations - Pilgrim Paths

Reserve and register your pilgrimage

Getting started with Pilgrim Paths is easy. Once you’ve chosen your pilgrim itinerary and date there is a four-step process:

Read the Terms and Conditions so you understand how our system works.
Reserve your pilgrimage by making a 30% deposit of the per-person-double-occupancy cost. You can do this by check, money order, wire transfer or (with a service fee) by using our online portal. The single supplement fee will be invoiced later, if necessary.
Fill out the Reservation Form either online or by downloading the printable pilgrim-paths-registration-form. This provides us details of your name, address, passport data, and other important information. We follow up by contacting you and working with you directly on the preparations needed for your walk.
By the date required, send in your final payment. Once we’ve received it we complete your booking, reserve your accommodations and get everything ready for your successful and enjoyable pilgrimage walk.
