Has anyone traveled with Pilgrim Tours? If so, good/bad experience?

I used Pilgrim in March to Isreal and Egypt. Is a good value tour, only thing I would have done different is when they did some on the meals, I would have ventured out on our own. Too many planned meals in places where you didn't have no choices and food was medicore and overpriced and usually connected to somewhere where other people where not eating. An example was eating at the quarters, we could have went around the corner to local eateries and in stead we were on a third floor room by ourselves with a set meal for us. We did have a few on our tour that ventured out on there own and always had a better time. Also shopping stops that planned was obvious kickbacks for tour guides. We learned that quick and went off on our own for souvinors and did much, much better.
