Hope Tours Reviews 

An amazing and spiritual trip provided by Hope tours. Special thanks to Hafiz Afzaal, who led the Umrah group and made this a memorable journey. Also Imam Ijaaz was brilliant at providing yet another well organised trip which was spiritual. May Allah (SWT) continue to reward the family for the service they provide and for the beneficial knowledge shared.

I’ve travelled with the group before and I can say Hope tours is the best at what they do. A very amazing service provided which makes you feel part of a family.

I also went to Palestine last year with Imaam Ijaaz and the level of service provided was truly incredible.

I highly recommend travelling with Hope Tours.

As a devout Muslim, embarking on a spiritual journey to Palestine, Makkah, and Madinah was a dream come true. It's difficult to put into words the profound impact this trip had on my faith and sense of purpose. From the historical significance of Palestine to the holiness of Makkah and Madinah, this pilgrimage was nothing short of miraculous.

The journey began in Palestine, where I visited the holy city of Jerusalem. Walking through the ancient streets and standing before the Al-Aqsa Mosque was a surreal experience. The sense of history and spirituality that enveloped me there was overpowering. It's a place where the past, present, and future of Islam converge, and I felt truly blessed to be in that sacred space.

Next, I traveled to Makkah, the birthplace of Islam. The moment I laid eyes on the magnificent Kaaba, I was overwhelmed with emotion. Performing the Tawaf (circumambulation) around the Kaaba, and later, standing on the plains of Arafat during Hajj, were moments of unparalleled spiritual intensity. The unity and diversity of the Muslim Ummah gathered in one place were awe-inspiring.

Madinah, the city of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), was the final destination. Visiting the Prophet's Mosque, where his blessed tomb resides, was an experience that left me in tears. The serenity of the city and the kindness of the people resonated deeply with me.

Throughout the journey, the organization by our tour operator was impeccable. The accommodations were comfortable, and the guides were knowledgeable, providing us with historical and religious context at each location. I felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip.

This spiritual journey has left an indelible mark on my heart and soul. It deepened my connection to my faith and strengthened my sense of community with fellow Muslims. I would highly recommend this pilgrimage to anyone seeking a transformative and spiritually enriching experience. It's a trip of a lifetime, and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to undertake it.

Our experience with hope tours as a family was amazing, from the time we showed interest through to our return. This was our second time travelling with hope tours but was even better than our first experience. Imam saab is a great leader, gave clear instructions, was accommodating for all ages, arranged great hotels, ziyarahs, shared vast knowledge at each site. We learnt so much and had a truly spiritually uplifting experience and made new friends from our group. We will definitely be travelling with hope tours again inshaAllah and would highly recommend! May Allah swt bless Imam saab and his family for all his efforts. Ameen.

Absolutely amazing experience. ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ it was life changing would highly recommend, the Imam was so so good, took us around to all the places explained everything really well, was very well organise and helpful.
Big thank you to hope yours and إنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ‎ will definitely be travelling with them again.
Thank you 🙏

My time travelling with hope tours was something i cant not describe in words, Imaam Ijaz led the group and he was incredible.
He is committed to his role and always gives his 100%. He truly cares for his groups and makes it seem like were one big “hope family”.
At every ziyaarah he stops and gives a detailed explanation on the sites significance which i personally find very helpful and informative.
All ages are welcome on these groups as hope tours accommodates for all- i will forever be an advocate for hope tours.
May Allah SWT Bless Imaam Saab and his family and grant him success in this life and the next AMEEN.

Words cannot describe how amazing this 3 Haram tour was but I will do my best.

From the get go Imam ijaz was super helpful keeping in regular contact and providing information on time. Any queries we had he would answer straightaway.

In Al Aqsa visiting the masajids and learning about the history was an great experience itself. The icing on the cake was wearing our ihrams on our way to Umrah and walking the streets of palestine reciting "Labaik alahumma Labaik" . The smiles on the faces of the local palestinians was a memory I cannot ever forget. Imam ijaz was a true Ameer of the group always explaining thr history and the importance of why Al Quds holds a special place in islamic history.

Makkah- Once we arrived in Makkah and checked in, we made our way to perform Umrah and once again imam ijaz explained the significance of Masjid Haram and the Kaaba. On sight of the Kaaba for my first time , I truly felt at peace. Led by Imam ijaz from the front he slowly step by step explained the stages of umrah so we do not get confused with too much info.

Medina- Medina was truly relaxing after leaving the fast paced city of Makkah. From being 2mins walk away from Masjid Nabawi and sending salam on the phrophet PBUH was a great way to finish the trip.

Throughout all 3 Harams we went on different coach ziyarats to many places important to islamic history. All was clearly explained by imam ijaz who was very pationate and very informative with the information he was providing.

I am very sad that I have left the 3 Harams but insh'allah will come back again. I reccomend this 3haram tour to everyone as it is truly spiritually uplifiting. The members of our tour was amazing and have made some new friends. I never expected it to be this good. From start to finish it was a tour that you dont want to end.

Alhamdulilah was an amazing experience with Hope Tours and Imam Ijaz Ahmad Shaami. Was better than I could have ever expected and to be led by such knowledge and experienced Imam made it even better as everything ran so smoothly. I’d like to thank Hope Tours for putting together the 3 Haram Tour, which allowed me and my family the experience to visit the blessed lands with an amazing guide.

Embarking on a spiritual journey with Hope Tours was an experience that has left a permanent mark on my soul. As an Islamic group specialising in Umrah trips, they meticulously crafted a pilgrimage that transcended all expectations, leaving me with memories that will be cherished forever.

From the moment I set foot on this sacred journey, I was engulfed in an aura of calmness and enlightenment. Hope Tours expertly guided us through the holiest Islamic sites, including Jerusalem, Makkah, and Medina, where each step held profound significance. The attention to detail and seamless execution of the itinerary reflected their commitment to providing an unparalleled spiritual experience.

What truly set Hope Tours apart was the exceptional leadership of Imam Ijaz. His knowledgeable guidance and unwavering dedication to our group made the journey even more special. Imam Ijaz possessed a unique ability to connect with each individual on a personal level, ensuring that everyone felt deeply connected. His insights, teachings, and prayers touched our hearts and enhanced our understanding.

The journey not only allowed me to fulfill my religious obligations but also provided an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth. The spiritual immersion during Umrah, combined with the spiritual wisdom imparted by Imam Ijaz, had a profound impact on me. It was a transformative experience that left me with a renewed sense of faith, gratitude, and inner peace.

Hope Tours excelled in every aspect of our pilgrimage. The accommodations were comfortable, the transportation was reliable, and the entire team exhibited warmth and professionalism throughout our journey. The itinerary was meticulously planned, providing ample time for reflection, prayer, and exploration of the holy sites.

In addition to the spiritual aspects, Hope Tours ensured that we experienced the historical heritage of the places we visited. The knowledgeable guides enlightened us with captivating stories and anecdotes, further enriching our understanding of the significance of each location.

The impact of my journey with Hope Tours extends far beyond the duration of the trip. It has left an everlasting impression on my soul and has strengthened my connection with my faith. I wholeheartedly recommend Hope Tours to anyone seeking a life-changing and unforgettable pilgrimage experience.

In conclusion, my experience with Hope Tours was nothing short of exceptional. Their meticulous planning, exceptional leadership, and unwavering commitment to providing a transformative journey made my Umrah experience truly unforgettable. I am forever grateful for the spiritual enlightenment, personal growth, and lifelong memories that I gained through this remarkable pilgrimage with Hope Tours.

ما شاء الله عز و جل
Great service, guidelines in every step.
Definitely recommend to all family and friends.
Good hotels in Mecca and Madina with breakfasts.

I traveled with Imam Ijaz and hope tours back in 2014 and now in the 3 Haram tour August 2023 and I must firstly say the standard set back then has most certainly not dropped at the slightest.

Information, booking details and regular communication is provided as well as the process of expectations throughout the journey.

Imam Ijaz for me is not a tour guide but part of the group and what I love is the passion he delivers throughout be it at a ziyarat, travelling on the coach or a mehfil he delivers as it is his first time or some would say last time and this passion really comes out and hits you spiritually.

The hotels are amazing excellent customer service and maximum 10 mins walk to all the 3 Harams from our location.

The imam is always available for any individual at any point be it day or night, infact he will go out of his way to ensure everyone is happy and if they have any reasonable needs.

It truly was a life changing experience and this is not lip service but you will not find this kind of service anywhere else.

Imam Ijaz is the living, breathing walking hope tours and may Allah protect and preserve him for him to continue the brilliant service he is providing to the muslim ummah.

If you truly want a life changing experience please do not hesitate at all, do not let the shayateen a whisper in your ear book today and reap the rewards, give your life a boost it desires and change your life for the better InshAllah.

Thank you to Hafiz Afzaal at Hope Tours who made our Umrah journey a very memorable and blessed one. We also got to spend time with Imam Ijaz Ahmad Shaami during our ziyarat trips. May Allah (SWT) continue to reward you for your service and for the beneficial knowledge shared with us throughout.

This was my first time performing Umrah and you both went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable experience. I appreciate it more than words can express.

It was a pleasure sharing this sacred journey with such an amazing group alongside too - honestly, it felt like we are a family.

I would highly recommend travelling with Hope Tours, and I do plan to travel with them again inshallah.

Subhanallah, I had the opportunity to perform my first ever umrah, with the pleasure of being led by Hafiz Afzaal. I could not ask for a better brother to spend time with, regardless of how tired we were due to travelling, he was always willing to keep going and help guide the group. May Allah swt bless him and his family with a prosperous and healthy life. We also had the privilege to spend time with Imam Ijaz Ahmad Shaami during our ziyarat trips, another brother who would go out of his way to help us when need be, May Allah also bless him and his family. I had such an amazing time, mashallah.

Alhamdulillah I was very fortunate to have an amazing group alongside.

As Imaam saab and Hafiz saab would say, “At hope tours we are a family”, this is a family I will never forget.

Jazakallah Khairun, I would highly recommend going with Hope Tours, whether it’s your first or second time.

I do plan to travel again with hope tours in the near future for other destinations. In sha allah, allah swt allows me to visit the blessed lands again.

*August Umrah Trip 2023*

The best experience I ever had, the trip I took with hope tours was way better than I expected the way they looked after every person was brilliant they took care of us and showed love like we were all a family the places they took us to and showed us was a beautiful thing as some of us didn’t know certain places existed until hope tours took us there I would definitely book a trip with them again in the future and I do suggest hope tours to anyone that’s looking to go to do umrah and hajj and to Palestine 110% the best time of my life

“To travel is to live” 

This quote summarises for me the passion that has been ignited by Hope Tours; to travel, to learn, to embody and teach. 

Imam Ijaz Ahmed Shaami, is an amazing leader and tour guide.  I had heard a lot about him and his tours, but on reflection it is all underrated.  Words cannot begin to describe nor do justice to the experiences felt, knowledge gained and connections made with our history and faith.  

From the initial introductory workshop to the final farewell address and goodbyes, this has not been the end of a tour but the beginning of what is to be a lifelong mission and journey.  

The flights, the air conditioned transport, luxurious stays and amazing historical sites visited made this spiritual journey to the blessed lands one full of admiration and humility.   

Imam Ijaz really does deliver an exceptional service, taking into consideration the diverse needs of everyone; the young; the old; the language barriers; the understanding levels; he breaks them all down and makes you feel special, heard and a valued member of the Hope Tour family.   

Honestly, I was sceptical when I paid for the trip, but every penny and every second of the trip was worth that and so much more.  

I could write so much more, but a review is meant to be short and sweet.  Don’t just take my word for it, experience the blessings of the family run travel company yourself.

Travelled with Hope tours for Umrah and Masjid Al Aqsa and it was truly an amazing experience. From the planning to the journey! Everything was explained thoroughly. Imam Ijaaz is an absolute gem! There always when you need him and always goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!

First of all, all praise to Allah swt for calling me to the holy lands.we flew out with our tour guide & imam of the group. The accommodation that where booked on tours was excellent from Palistine to Jordan & Petra. Along the way to all tours imam saab explained everything that was meant to be known from different sites to relics shown. It could not been explained better. I would highly recommend travelling with hope tours, because you will have an experience of a life time and find out things you never heard of from all 3 abrahamic faiths. See sites which you could only imagine of looking through books. Travelling with hope tours opens your eyes to see where they have brought you to. May Allah swt grant imam saab strength and long life to carry on serving mankind in showing what history we have out there. Will be 110 percent travelling with him again in the near future inshallah. There's only one name you can trust it's Hope Tours to give you a trip of a life time.

First trip with HOPE TOURS 10/10, nothing but love and praise. From day 1 to last day great experience, hotels were spot on and so was the food very well planned and executed. Imam Ijaz saab himself a very great leader with great personailty man of patience and humbleness who made us feel comfortable everyday and made an effort to make sure every single person was acknowledged every single day. Not one day I felt hesitant to approach Imam Ijaz saab for anything his down to earth personailty makes him stand out and they are true inspiration to our youth.

Imam Ijaz saab knowledge is second to none they explained about every ziyrat and places we visted in good detail, they explained in English and in Urdu to cater for everyone.

Imam Ijaz saab love and passion for deen is great! even in spare time they shared their knowledge making the trip even more spirutal.

I learned so much from this spirtual trip and credit goes to Imam Ijaz saab.
Definitely worth the money and experience. InshaAllah will book with hope tours in future

May Allah reward Imam Ijaz saab immensley, bless him and give them happiness in this world and hearafter inshaAllah.

I’m not the one who normally provides a feed back, but here I go.

Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for being such a great host ( imam Hejaz) and a wonderful tour guide. You took us to places we hardly had any idea about. You and this trip will be etched out in my memories forever.

I will always remember you as the person who knows alot about the prophets Makams etc, The knowledge and experience that I have gained are amazing. Thank you for sharing them with us

May Allah swt bless you to carry on doing good deeds.

Warning to all : Be prepared to do a lot of walking and travelling.

The hospitality and host and overall the whole tour to Mecca and medina was an amazing experience. Hotels were great and very convenient to the sacred mosques literally few minutes walking distance. All zyarats very well explained and shown. Imam Saab himself a very humble man. Definitely worth the money and experience. Inshallah will book with hope tours in future.
Imaam Saab was there throughout the whole spiritual journey for any help or guidance needed may allah bless him and his father who was also our guide.
