In The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer describes a merry lot of men and women in the fourteenth

century who found themselves thrown together on a pilgrimage from London to the Cathedral at Canterbury (which was Catholic then).

The Canterbury Tales are an impressive testimonial to the joys of pilgrimage! Canterbury Pilgrimages strives to create the enthusiasm and joy of travel of Chaucer’s pilgrims in the good people who go on pilgrimage with us. We orchestrate and host our tours as if we were hosting our own family celebration. We know that our tours are a special experience for our guests, and we remember that in everything we do.
