Tours to the Holy Land: Trips & Israel Tour Packages 2024, 2025

"Every place we visited was breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning landscapes and rich historical and cultural heritage. We highly recommend visiting Israel to anyone who wants to experience an unforgettable journey. We had a life-changing time there and are already planning to return." Simon L. and Beatriz G. – Tour to Israel/Egypt/Jordan February 2024 "I had a wonderful time in Israel. I felt while I was there the precautions that were taken for our safety were well in hand. I still got to experience many holy sites and be blessed by walking the path that Jesus walked. Every day was started in prayer, singing, or scripture reading which also extended the blessing of the trip." Quincie L. – Tour to Israel/Egypt/Jordan February 2024

Our Israel tours & Holy Land tours of 9-24 days for the Evangelical Protestant Bible believer are what Pilgrim Tours does best. Prepare yourself for a life-changing journey to walk where Jesus walked and visit Jerusalem, Galilee, & Samaria. Each of our Israel tours is led by a local guide who is an experienced expert on the historical, cultural, scenic, and spiritual history of the Holy Land. If you travel with 10 or more people, a private group tour can easily be arranged. Pilgrim Tours can customize an itinerary to fit your group needs with many options to choose from.

Concerned about safety? As a Christian tour operator, the staff at Pilgrim Tours takes a Biblical perspective regarding the current situation in the Middle East. We do not believe that peace in Israel is something that will occur until the Prince of Peace comes to restore His kingdom. Please do not make a reservation with us based on the hopes of a calm future. If you long for the special blessings only available in Israel, we will take you there. An expert driver and guide will carefully keep you from any areas that could present a problem and treat you to the riches of Israel as our special guest.

Below is a large variety of Israel tour packages departing in 2024 and 2025 year-round.

Featured Sites in Israel

Explore a vast selection of beautiful historical and Biblical locations throughout Israel with our Israel Holy Land tour. You can visit Jerusalem, Galilee, and parts of Samaria, getting the life-changing opportunity to see where Jesus and many other Biblical figures lived and walked. We even offer Holy Land tours that allow you to see the Dead Sea, the Garden Tomb, and the Jordan River Baptism Site. Like all of our Europe tours , our Israel Holy Land tours are led by local guides who have extensive knowledge of the area and its history. If you want to experience the history of Israel and see the Bible come to life, our Holy Land tours give you that opportunity.

The city of Jerusalem offers a unique convergence of Judaism, Christianity, and the Muslim faith. For Christians who visit Jerusalem, you will learn about many stories of the Bible while walking her streets. Many actors in the Bible such as Abraham, King David, King Solomon, the twelve disciples and Jesus all lived, visited, or spent time there. The Passion week of Christ will be highlighted during our stay as we visit the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Western Wall, the Way of Suffering, and the Garden Tomb.

Sea of Galilee

Nowhere in Israel does the Bible come to life more than along the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Pilgrims who visit the Galilee region have the opportunity to imagine what life was like 2,000 years ago and what Jesus and the twelve disciples experienced while fishing on the Sea of Galilee. The peaceful setting and the natural wonders of the Golan Heights to the east and Mt. Arbel to the west make for a great way to start your morning in quiet reflection. During our tour, we explore the Biblical towns of Capernaum, Magdala, and Nazareth and take a meaningful cruise on the Sea of Galilee.

The Dead Sea is not only the lowest and most lifeless lake in the world, but also nearly 10 times saltier than the ocean. Travelers will enjoy the beautiful colors of the blue water and the red mountains of Jordan to the east. Take time to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime Dead Sea “float” either in the sea itself or at one of the warm salt water pools at our hotel. The Dead Sea experience is truly a bucket list visit you won’t want to miss!

Garden Tomb

Our visit to the Garden Tomb and its surrounding gardens is normally one of the highlights of our tour to Israel. The Garden Tomb is a rock-cut tomb in Jerusalem that was unearthed in 1867 and is considered by some Protestants to be the site of the burial and resurrection of Jesus. Our visit offers a unique time of prayer, reflection, communion, and praise, which will be a special life-long memory for many travelers.

Jordan River Baptism Site

The Jordan River Baptist Site or “Yardenit” is a baptism site located along the Jordan River just south of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. This site is frequented by Christian Pilgrims who enjoy imagining the setting of the baptism of Jesus. For anyone who would like to be baptized in the Jordan River, Yardenit has been developed to be a peaceful setting with beautiful gardens, clean colored water, changing facilities, showers, and a nice souvenir shop.

Caesarea Philippi

To many Pilgrim travelers, Caesarea Philippi is a special surprise while on their tour. Located along the rushing springs of Mt. Hermon, the beautiful and natural setting is where Jesus asked his disciples “Who do men say that I am?” He asked this question while observing the pagan worship of the god Pan as worshipers offered their sacrifice at the “Gates of Hell.” Our time at Caesarea Philippi is one of many opportunities throughout our tour to see the lessons and message of the Bible come to light in a special way.

Israel Tours: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best month for the Holy Land tour?

Taking a trip to Israel during the spring or fall offers the most enjoyable weather of the year but normally has the largest crowds. If you want to enjoy a peaceful tour with fewer crowds, consider visiting between December and February or June and August. We offer Israel and Jordan tours throughout the year, so you can select a trip that works for your schedule.

How many days do you need for a Holy Land tour?

We offer several types of tours of the Holy Land, so the duration of your tour depends on the tour package you choose. The Best of Israel Tour is our most basic offering and includes a Sea of Galilee boat ride, a trip to the Jordan River Baptism Site, the Dead Sea, and many opportunities to walk on the same land Jesus walked on. This is our shortest trip at just 9 or 10 days. Our most involved trips allow you to experience a wide range of historical locations over the course of a few weeks. Egypt tours are included in some of these packages, as well as tours in Greece and other countries. These tours can take up to 24 days, giving you the chance to spend an extended period of time learning about and visiting different parts of the world. From our Turkey tours to all of our Israel Christian tours, all of our tours feature a first-class hotel rating for the country you visit. We do offer some upgraded tours that offer better lodging options. You can review our hotel categories at https://www.pilgrimtours.com/company/hotelcomparison.htm . Check out any of our tours to view a day-by-day itinerary and see what amenities are included with each tour.

What is the dress code in Israel?

The dress code in Israel is different from other parts of the world. There are a few dress code basics you should understand before booking Israel tours: When you’re in Israel, there is no strict dress code. You can wear what you feel comfortable wearing. However, both men and women should try to dress conservatively and cover their shoulders and knees when visiting any of the religious sites throughout Israel. Generally speaking, it’s best to avoid tank tops and shorts. Men need to cover their heads when visiting the Western Wall. Pilgrim Tours provides a Pilgrim Tours ball cap upon arrival in Israel, but you might consider purchasing an affordable kippa that you can bring when you visit Jewish sites. Some places may offer a free kippa, but these are generally low quality. (Women are not required to cover their heads at any sight.) You can figure out what you need to pack and how to dress each day by looking at the itinerary for our Holy Land tours. Guides normally offer guidance on how to dress for the next day while on tour. We also suggest looking at the extended weather forecast as you prepare and pack for your trip.

Is there a lot of walking involved on an Israel Tour?

Our Israel tours do require a significant amount of walking each day and you should be able to walk unassisted 3-4 miles per day on average. Make sure you have a comfortable pair of shoes that provide adequate support. While there are bus and boat rides during these tours, you have to walk quite a bit to explore some of the Biblical sites. Our tour guides normally give the group a few options at sites for those that have physical limitations. One thing to keep in mind is that there are many hills and valleys in Israel which can make walking even more taxing. The amount of walking you have to do may vary based on the tour you take, so look at the itinerary before choosing your tour. The good news is that Israel is a beautiful country to see on foot, and you’ll have several opportunities to sit down and give your feet a rest. As long as you have a good pair of shoes and comfortable clothes, it’s easy to forget about all the walking you’re doing and enjoy the tour.

What passport & visa information do I need for your Israel tours?

U.S. citizens need a valid U.S. passport with at least six months validity beyond their intended stay to enter Israel. Make two photocopies of your passport. Leave one copy at home and carry the other separately from your original. Israel: U.S. and Canadian Citizens do not need a Visa when entering Israel. Non U. S. /Canadian Citizens are responsible to fulfill appropriate entry requirements of destination. Contact your Consulate office for requirements.

What common languages will be spoken during your Israel tours?

Hebrew, Arabic and English.

What currency can I use on your Israel tours?

The U.S. dollar is widely accepted across Israel, and we suggest bringing about $30 for each day you’ll be on tour. U.S. dollars are recommended for use for small purchases and lunches. Lunches typically cost $15-20. It is important to bring about 20 $1 bills as some bathrooms charge a small fee for use. Credit cards may also be used for larger purchases. ATMs in Israel are all connected to European and American banking systems. Please be advised that the ATM machines dispense money in SHEKELS – NOT U.S. DOLLARS. Please notify your bank before traveling overseas.

Do I need to bring a converter for the Israel tour?

Israel uses the European plug with two round pins. You will need to bring along the necessary converters and adapters to operate any 120 volt appliances such as hair dryers and electric razors as well as camera and cell phone chargers. Electricity in Israel is 220 volts 50 Hz.

What is the time zone for your Israel tours?

The time zone for Israel is seven hours ahead of EST and two hours ahead of GMT.

What climate should I expect during your Israel tours?

In Israel the climate is temperate, and temperatures all year-round are reasonable. Israel has two main seasons: winter (from November to March) is cold and rainy in most parts of the country; summer (from April to October) is hot and dry with little or no rainfall. The desert areas can be extremely hot in summer time.

I had a fabulous trip to Israel going on the Roots of Your Faith tour. Life changing and so amazing. Yeshay, also known as Jessie, my tour guide, was so knowledgeable, organized, funny, and kind. He was very attentive to everyone on the tour. I learned so much from him about life in Israel, its people, culture, and most importantly all of the significant biblical history at each holy site we visited. Aaron, our driver, was charming, jovial, and professional to make sure he got everyone to each destination with ease. The hotel accommodations were lovely with wonderful food, shout out to all the great chefs, and pleasant hotel staff. Thank you AIT!

Roots of Your Faith Oct 2022

An AMAZING experience from start to finish with AIT! I booked the Roots of our Faith tour to travel with my Father since Israel was on the top of his list to see in life. It turned out to be the most memorable trip of our lives for both of us!! Our tour guide Barak Berkovich was beyond phenomenal!! We are so incredibly fortunate to have had a guide so unbelievably knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor, along with possessing the rare ability to make us feel safe and secure the entire time! I have traveled extensively around the world, taking many tours, and I have never had a better guide than Barak! He was absolutely captivating (even after our 8-10 hour days of sightseeing) he kept us wanting to see and hear more!! If you are considering traveling to Israel, dont wait! Call them to book today! The process was flawless. Skyler in booking took care of every detail for us, including flight suggestions that worked out perfectly. We were picked up as soon as we landed at the airport and received the red carpet treatment the remainder of the trip. The food and hotels provided were wonderful. Our fellow group travelers were some of the most loving and faithful people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! The itinerary was everything we could have ever hoped to see and more!!! Thank you AIT for the most extraordinary pilgrimage of a lifetime!! The memories will live on for the rest of our lives!

Roots of Your Faith Nov 2022

Our tour guide, Bruce, was wonderful, very knowledgeable and helpful. Hearing about the Biblical events from a Jewish perspective was enlightening for me. This tour was a whirlwind of sights and history for a solid week, but I highly recommend it.

The trip was worth the wait after Covid. Skylar & Regan from AIT answered all questions & sent pertinent paperwork as needed to get us started on a memorable journey. The first week is the Roots tour with Jordan as an extension. Forty-one started with 18 going on to Jordan. If you get Yair as a tour guide in Israel, you are getting the best guide. Not only is he knowledgeable & very personable, but also funny making each stop memorable. Menahem, the bus driver, uses his driving skills in difficult situations. If women had short sleeve tops, a shawl was not necessary, but definitely needed for sleeveless tops. No need to change dollars which were accepted when credit cards couldn't be used. Have plenty of $1 bills especially for water which was sold everywhere. Crossing the border to Jordan for 2 extra nights was definitely worthwhile. Jerash ruins show a huge ancient city, but Petra is a true wonder of the world. There is a lot of walking, sometimes on uneven surfaces & uphill. An electric cart (for a fee) can be taken between the Visitors Center & the Treasury if you are unable to walk long distances. You can ride a horse part way which is included in the ticket price, but the handler will expect a tip. Once reaching the Treasury, a very short camel ride can be taken (about $5). Our guide Saleh was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. This trip not only enriched my faith as so many others have said, but I got to see different cultures and met a lot of great people.

Roots of Your Faith Sep 2022

Only day three of our Roots of Your Faith tour with Jordon and Egypt extension and AIT has provided service beyond expectations. As we travel the remainder of our nearly three week trip I am confident the experience will continue to be exceptional. Yair, our tour guide, is knowledgeable not only of the historic perspective but also biblically and delivers the information with clarity.

We booked our 10 Day "Roots of Your Faith " with AIT Since 2020. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we could not travel. We finally got cleared and traveled at end of August! AIT staff especially Skyler and Raegan always communicated with us and kept us informed about everything that was happening! Words cannot express our experience because it was that amazing. Well planned and executed in all apsects. Great hotels, sightseeing opportunities and great local spots to visit. Our tour guide Yoram was very knowledgable, passionate and lead us on our journey from day 1. We got to see so many of the Holy Sights and learned so much during our trip. I would definitely recommend this company and travel with them again!

Roots of Your Faith Aug 2022

Recently returned from an AIT “Roots of Your Faith” tour with visits to both sides of the Jordan. WOW! It was amazing! Both the California and Israeli based administrative teams who planned and organized the trip did so with precision and made our way comfortable and easy. We wanted to see “everything” and we did. Yair, our tour guide in Israel, made historical sites and Biblical events come alive with his knowledge, insight and presentation; and he did so in a way that faded the hectic atmosphere of some crowded sites. Our guide in Bethlehem and Emdad in Jordan enhanced our visits as well. The accommodations and hospitality at our hotels and dining rooms was excellent, particularly in Jerusalem and in Aman. Would I go with AIT again? Absolutely, in a heartbeat!

Roots of Your Faith Oct 2019

Early November is a fabulous time to visit Israel with the wonderful AIT crew. They looked after us the whole way through. They don’t talk up the Isrotel Hotel at the Dead Sea enough. That has to be the finest hotel on the water. It’s 5 stars by any standard! The peace and the beauty of the land is surprising... from the news you’d think this place is going to kick off at any moment. Our experience has been fantastic so far. If you’ve not been to Israel... you are missing a unique corner of the world... Come to Israel!!!

Roots of Your Faith Nov 2019

We had a really amazing tour From Old Jaffa to the Old city of Jerusalem Hotel and food accommodations were great , Our tour guide Yoram was really Informative and always willing to answer questions , Our experienced Driver Moshe always made us feel safe on the road . This tour will always be memorable to my heart and I totally recommend it . Zaida Humphrey

My husband & I have been enjoying our first visit to Israel on the America Israel Tour (AIT) company's "Roots of your Faith” tour. It has been a surprise to see so many other tours operating at the same time, and of course, all wanting to visit the same sites. We believe what make our tour special is our guide: Yoram Black. He has been professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, efficient, analytical, thoughtful and courteous. We have been on other tours in other countries and Yoram seems to be the hardest working and most prepared guide we have had the pleasure of touring with. I don’t know if it is Yoram or AIT that coordinates the timing of each day, but our itinerary seems to help us avoid the worst of the crowds. The company’s “Whisper” system of communication helps us all hear every word and feel like we are next to the guide, even if we are wandering the site, and regardless of the other tours. The tour is highly recommended. Karen and Indy from Sanibel Island, FL

“I highly recommend all to consider their next Israel tour with Holy Ground Explorations for a unique and unforgettable experience of the land, the people and the word of God. I’ve known Dan and Sharon for years and discovered them as great tour hosts and leaders with a genuine desire to see God changing lives and deepening faith of their tour members!”

AMIR TSARFATI, Founder and President of Behold Israel, International speaker and proclaimer of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Revealing Israel Tour February 2024

***POSTPONED***

Join Dan & Sharon Stolebarger in February 2024 on a trip that promises to be unforgettable. If you love your Bible and talking to Jesus, then this is a trip you cannot afford to miss. Can you imagine walking the ancient pathways through Jerusalem or taking a boat ride out on the Sea of Galilee just to worship?!!!

Chronicles of an Israel Tour

Curious what a tour of Israel will be like? Chronicles of an Israel Tour takes you on a journey for 9 days through the Holy Land. Dan and Sharon give a narration of the sights and sounds you will experience on a tour of Israel including Biblical insights and incredible photographs.

Middle East Update

Weekly videos from Dan Stolebarger about the Middle East — insights often not reported by the media. You’ll hear about current events that are relevant from a Biblical perspective, including Israel, its allies and its enemies. Stay up to date on what’s really going on.

Israel is not just another vacation or destination to check off the list. It is the most impactful place that a person can visit and it is only because I have been there that I say that. Prior to my first visit to Israel I was anxious and nervous because I didn’t know what to expect and was being questioned by many people as to whether or not I was in my right mind for going. I felt I might be making a mistake and thought maybe all the people questioning my sanity were right to do so. (more…)

Never having been to the Middle East, or really anywhere very far from home in the U.S., a couple of friends and I were intrigued with the thought of visiting the Promised Land. We saw a promotion to go with Dan and Sharon with an organization we knew through our study of God’s Word, and we were compelled enough to book a tour. As the date approached, the idea that sounded so good as “something to do someday”, was becoming a reality and I was growing increasingly hesitant (at best) and fearful (at least). (more…)

I would say that a spiritual trip to the land of Israel is a must for every believer. If you never travel anywhere else in the world and have only one trip overseas, there is no doubt in our minds it should be Israel. We've had the privilege of seeing the Land of the Bible with Dan, Sharon and Jane on 2 occasions in 2014 and 2015. In all honesty our lives have never been the same. (more…)

Sean and Sherry

We have been blessed with three opportunities to be on tours in the Holy Land with groups arranged and led by Dan and Sharon Stolebarger. Each tour was different in content — all were superbly organized, starting with a smooth arrival process into Israel with a warm greeting on arrival. (more…)

Susie and Willem

If you are thinking of visiting Israel, Jordan or the biblical sites of Turkey, then think Holy Ground Explorations. Why? Because, who you travel with will profoundly influence what you experience in these unique lands. With Holy Ground Explorations, you will be treated to more than a rushed visit to the historical and biblical highlights. You will be more than just “one of many” on a bus tour. Because for the Holy Ground Exploration leaders, Dan and Sharon Stolebarger — it’s personal. That is their vision. (more…)

My time living in Israel has proven to be one of the most spiritual growth times of my life. I told someone after 30 days that I was so ready to come home, but enjoyed every day I was there including the last day in Jerusalem, I found myself wanting to soak up every place we went from day 1 to day 30. Even while we traveled in the vans, I never wanted to sleep or even doze for fear I might miss even the smallest site. Day after day I looked with wonder at God’s land and all the Jewish people we met. (more…)

As someone from the U.K. who has done numerous trips to Israel since 1988, I have yet to come across anything that could even come close to this one. Why? Well everything from the practical and organizational side, to the choice of sights and hotels is outstanding. But a tour is only ever going to be as good as its guide (and the coach driver) and this is where they excel. Absolutely head and shoulders above anything I’ve experienced!! (more…)

Israel Tour 2023

Israel Tour – March 14 to 24, 2023 Total Cost: $3,265 + Airfare $1,565 Single Supplement: $1,377

This was my first time to Israel, I had wanted to go for some time, but always seemed not able to. I’ve heard it said it’s beyond words, and I totally agree! Being in Israel, standing in the places where Jesus and the Apostles lived and traveled, going to the places that are recorded in the Bible was very emotional and humbling. Favorite places? I’d have to say all, but most memorable was the garden of Gethsemane, knowing the pain, suffering and isolation Jesus went through while all the time praying for us! Second, was the Magdala hotel that we stayed at in the city of Migdal was literally walking distance to the Sea of Galilee, you could stand on the shore and look north and see Capernaum, and to the south, Tiberias, and directly behind us Mt Arbel! I could go on and on. I’ve had many people say “wasn’t it dangerous?” to which I respond that I have never felt safer! Can’t wait to go again and learn more! Just writing this is reliving it! – Jim Eckes

TRAVELER SUPPORT

Home of the Bible

Visiting Israel as a Christian transforms your faith. The diverse landscape of the Holy Land takes you from ancient sites to thriving cities, and from lush vineyards to arid deserts. Along the dusty streets of Jerusalem and the spectacular shores of Galilee, you’ll step into biblical history with like-minded believers. Be forever changed as you gain deeper insight into God’s Word and make lifelong spiritual connections on your Israel tour.

Caesarea by the Sea

Visit this ancient Roman seaport where the gospel came to the Gentiles. Peter preached his first sermon and baptized Cornelius and his household here.

This small village was at the center of Jesus’ ministry. Here He called disciples and performed many miracles. Nearby is the iconic St. Peter’s Church.

City of David

Walk the same paths as biblical figures and witness archaeological marvels. King David established his kingdom here more than 3,000 years ago.

The Garden of Gethsemane

Sit where Jesus went to pray the night of His arrest. We encourage our travelers to pause among the ancient trees for prayerful contemplation.

Mount Carmel

Overlooking the Jezreel Valley, travelers will experience historical stories, including the destined site of the final battle between good and evil.

Mount of Beatitudes

Jesus delivered His “Sermon on the Mount” on this very spot. Hear a sermon overlooking sparkling, tranquil waters and experience the powerful natural acoustics.

Mount of Olives

Jesus wept over Jerusalem here, where He ascended into Heaven on His last day on earth. Gaze at the gate He will walk through when He returns.

Nazareth Village

Tour this ancient village! Hear period actors share parables, pet a donkey or two, and enjoy the breathtaking scenery as you walk through this tiny town.

Old City Jerusalem

Walk the stone paths as you take in the ancient culture. Search for the perfect items and bargain with vendors for local wares and gifts for loved ones.

Sea of Galilee

Jesus spent much of His public ministry near these shores. Sail in traditional wooden boats through the calm waters while contemplating the area's significance.

Southern Steps of the Temple Mount

Stand where Jesus stood 2,000 years ago to teach and heal the crowds of Jerusalem and where ancient Jewish worshipers ascended to enter the Temple.

Western Wall

See one of the most sacred sites in Judaism, all that remains of the original Temple. Now known as the Wailing Wall, people worldwide come to pray.

Remarkable Places

Discover the iconic places you’ve read about in scripture for years! Step foot in places where Jesus lived, worshiped, proclaimed the gospel, and healed the sick.

Featured Events

Experience Israel with Alistair Begg

Experience Israel Tour with Kristi McLelland

Active archaeological dig (Magdala)

Communion at the Garden Tomb

Explore Old City Jerusalem

Wander the ancient stone streets of the Jewish Quarter, following paths traveled during the days of Christ. Haggle with local vendors and take home a treasure.

Float in the Dead Sea

Float in these waters with salt levels so dense, you won’t sink! Some travelers cover themselves in the mineral-rich mud known for its healing properties.

Jerusalem’s outdoor markets

Mix with local Israelis in the place they lovingly refer to as “the shuk,” which teems with delicious eats, fresh spices and vibrant colorful wares.

Jordan River baptism

Affirm your faith in Christ by being baptized in the same waters as Jesus. Few things in life compare to spiritual landmark moments like this.

Pray at the Western Wall

Stand with the Jewish people as you pray at one of the most spiritually transformative places on earth. Tuck your own handwritten prayer between its stones.

Sail the Sea of Galilee

As waves lap against your wooden boat, picture Jesus walking on water here. Once at the center of the lake, take part in a worship service unlike any other.

Tastes of modern-day Israel

Try the famous hummus made by the Druze people in Tiberias or a delicious layered coffee drink (café hafuch) at Aroma, the nation’s favorite coffeehouse.

"We booked this trip expecting it to be wonderful, but it was so much more than that. Every detail was meticulously worked out. There are no words to describe that first glimpse of Jerusalem."

Joe & Teresa V.

Watertown, sd.

Holy Land Tour Trips to Is rael

Holy land experience tour tri ps of a lifetime to israel, status of our holy land tour trips.

We kn ow the current war might cause some to reconsider going to Israel at this tim e. However, here is some information and context to help in this decision. 

1. We have tour guide colleagues in Israel leading teams there right now . Things are safe with no issues. They are having a great time and enjoying all the sites. 

2. Right now, we can see all of the sites on our itinerary except about three (Caesarea Philippi, Shechem, and Hebron), and we are very optimistic these sites will also be open before our trip. If they are not, we'll see other sites of great importance.    

3. Security in Israel is better than ever right now. 

4. Israel is open for business: all restaurants, hotels, parks, services, etc., are functioning normally. 

5. Ben Gurion Airport is functioning normally, with all major airlines operating without issues. 

6. Israel is winning the war with Hamas and should have Gaza under full control soon. 

7. We will not be touring any sites in or close to Gaza. 

8. Our tour bus driver assures us things are safe for tourism in Israel right now. 

9. There are far fewer tourists in Israel, so some of the sites that are difficult to see due to long lines are very accessible. So, now is a great time to see Israel.  

10. We know the current situation could seem scary to you, but we have traveled throughout Israel many times during tensions and have not felt unsafe. Virtually all of the country functions normally with no issues. 

Therefore, we want to assure you that we are moving forward with our tour trips and have no plans to cancel them.

Please see our upcoming trips below!

Holy land experience trip s.

Our Holy Land Trips are open to anyone worldwide with a valid passport for travel to Israel.

Would you like to have a life-changing and never-to-be-forgotten experience?

We will take a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee, visit places where Jesus walked, lived, taught, performed miracles, walked on the water, calmed the sea, and where He was crucified and raised from the dead. We will immerse ourselves in the Land of the Bible and experience it to the depths of our souls.​ You will never be the same or read your Bible the same after a trip like this.

If it's Bible you want, then this trip is for you. At each site, we will give biblical and historical teaching along with a faith lesson. Therefore, this trip is designed to provide an in-depth study and perspective from the Scriptures of the events and places of the Bible.

Testimonials

I love the personal touch you get with Elias Tours. Elias and his team are always available and will do anything to exceed your expectations for a pilgrimage. I have worked with Elias to make the trips happen, and am already planning a fourth. As a pastor, I trust Elias Tours with my own congregational groups. They handle all the details so that I can provide the best care for my group, and work with the amazing guides that Elias arranges to allow an experience that leaves people with an unforgettable experience. You will never see the Biblical stories the same again!

Elias is very attentive and his company feels like a start-up on the one hand (meaning he is personally very involved) but it also feels seasoned because of his family’s long experience. Dr. Dale, Tour Leader.

The pilgrimage of a lifetime! This has been the most incredible and spiritual uplifting trip/pilgrimage of my pastoral ministry. There are so many people to thank including Elias Tours. Elias is a mastermind in travel detail and getting the best accommodations, food, and guides from the original trip cost. Thank you, Elias.

“We had an unforgettable trip to the Holy Land with my group! Everything went as planned with a couple of welcomed surprises. We saw all the holy sites but what made this special was all the local contacts Elias Tours has with others. So not only did we see the sights, we experienced them with local people with personal stories and connections that I imagine other tours would not be able to offer. All of this personal service with no hidden cost makes this an experience, I would highly recommend Elias Tours. I want to go again!”

I HIGHLY recommend Elias Tours to anyone interested in seeing the Holy Land. It is far more than just the tourist stops. Very well planned and organized. You'll experience the culture and land from various perspectives. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Knowledgeable and professional on our tour of the Holy Land last November. He had insights that only someone who grew up in the area would have and we were able to experience many things that your average Holy Land tour would not even begin to explore. Highly recommend Elias Tours.

There are many tour agency’s in the Holy Lands, however there are only a few like Elias Tours. Elias made you feel like family in his hometown of Bethlehem each time he introduced you to some locals . He received our questions with a genuine spirit. He offered faithful responses rich in history and saturated with hard spiritual truths. I was impressed by his authentic approach that revealed the holy sites with respect and honor, alongside the realities of division and oppression. As a pastor, I highly recommend using Elias Tours for your church to explore the holy lands. My only regret from the trip was that I could not stay longer, especially on the Sea of Galilee.

Elias Tours lends a unique perspective with deep insight into the history and dynamics of the area and its diverse population. Highly recommend choosing Elias Tours for your Holy Land trip.

This tour was the best trip I've ever taken. It was well organized and planned. Truly, a trip of a lifetime.

Elias Tours provided a unique and transformational time for our group, loved it!

I have been all over the world and this was definitely one of the best trips I have ever taken.

We did a tour with Elias Tours and it was incredible! Seeing the Biblical sites where Paul started churches brought the book of Acts to life. Elias Tours handles all the details and included many exclusive experiences. If you are looking for an Israel or Steps of Paul tour I would highly recommend Elias Tours.

Monday, Day 2: Caesarea, Megiddo, Haifa, Acre (Akko) to the Galilee

Day 2 of our Israel tour will take us on a journey through the rich history and culture of the country. We will begin by exploring the ancient city of Caesarea, where we will see the Roman theater, the restored amphitheater, and the aqueduct. We will also learn about the important events that took place here, including Paul’s journey to Tarsus and the conversion of Cornelius and his family to Christianity.

Next, we will visit Megiddo, one of King Solomon’s fortified cities, where we will see the ruins of 20 levels of civilization and the well-preserved water supply system. This site is also mentioned in the Bible as the location of the final Battle of Armageddon.

We will then continue on to Haifa, where we will ascend Mt. Carmel for a panoramic view of the city and the Bay of Haifa. We will also visit Muhraka, where Elijah fought the false prophets of Baal.

Our next stop will be in Akko, also known as Acre. Here, we will see the underground passages and secret rooms, as well as the prison.

In the afternoon/evening, we will drive through the Pastoral Hills of Galilee to our hotel for check-in. Dinner will be served at the hotel, and we will spend the night in the Galilee region.

Tuesday, Day 3: Tiberias, Wester Galilee, Banias (Golan Heights)

The day will start with a short tour of Tiberius, including a boat cruise on the Sea of Galilee in a Jesus boat replica. You will also visit Capernaum, the center of Jesus’ Galilean ministry and the site of many of his miracles, and the remains of a 2nd-century synagogue.

Next, you will visit Tabgha, the site of the Loaves and Fishes, including the Church of the Multipication, with a 4th-century mosaic floor. You will then head to the Mount of Beatitudes, where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, and Banias Springs and Caesarea Philippi, one of the sources of the River Jordan and the place where Peter made the confession of faith in Christ.

After a relaxing dinner at your hotel, you will have the evening at leisure. You will spend the night in the Galilee region.

Wednesday, Day 4: Nazareth, Beit Shean

Start your day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel, before setting out on a full day of sightseeing in Israel. Your first stop is the site of Jesus’ first miracle, the Cana of Galilee, where he turned water into wine (John 2:1).

Next, visit the boyhood home of Jesus in Nazareth and see the Grotto of the Annunciation and the Church of St. Joseph, which are built over the traditional site where Mary and Joseph lived. You’ll also visit the location of the ancient City Well, where it is believed that the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary.

After lunch, head to Yardenit, a Baptismal site in the Jordan River where you can be baptized if you choose. Afterward, visit the newly excavated and ongoing archaeological site of Beit Shean, where you’ll see the amphitheater, colonnaded Roman streets, mosaics, and Roman bathhouses (1st Samuel 31:10).

As the day comes to a close, take a drive through the Jordan Valley and see the desert bloom with flowers and vegetation, as prophesied by Isaiah in chapter 35:1-2.

After arriving in Jerusalem in the afternoon, check in to your hotel and enjoy a relaxing dinner. You may want to take a leisurely stroll through the streets of Jerusalem before retiring for the night. Overnight in Jerusalem.

Thursday, Day 5: Jerusalem: The Old City

On the fifth day of your Israel tour, you will have the opportunity to visit several important sites in Jerusalem and the Old City. You will begin the day with breakfast at the hotel, before setting out to see the Mount of Olives, a beautiful mountain with a panoramic view of the Old City and the Golden Gates, as well as an urban garden where Jesus prayed before his crucifixion. You will also visit the Upper Room, the site of Jesus’ last Passover meal, and the Jewish Quarter, a southeastern sector of the Old City with a restored marketplace called the Cardo.

Other notable sites on this day include the Western Wall, a holy place for Jews and the last remaining structure of the Second Temple, and the Via Dolorosa, also known as the Stations of the Cross or the Way of the Cross, which marks the route Jesus took to his crucifixion. You will also visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, believed by many Catholics and Orthodox Christians to be the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, and the Garden Tomb, a similar site revered by many Evangelical Christians.

After a full day of sightseeing, you will return to the hotel for the evening at leisure, with dinner provided. You will spend the night in Jerusalem.

Friday, Day 6: New City Bethlehem

“Welcome to Day 6 of our Israel Tour! Today, we will start the day in the beautiful village of Ein Kerem, known as the birthplace of John the Baptist and the location of his parent’s summer house.

Next, we will visit Yad Vashem, the Israeli memorial dedicated to the six million Jews who lost their lives during WWII.

After that, we will make our way to the Israel Museum, home to the Shrine of the Book and the stunning scale model of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period.

In the afternoon, we will travel to Bethlehem, a significant site for many Christians as the believed birthplace of Jesus at the Church of the Nativity.

In the evening, we will return to our hotel for a special Shabbat dinner. We will spend the night in Jerusalem.

Join us for a memorable day of history, culture, and spirituality as we continue to explore the rich history and beauty of Israel.”

Saturday, Day 7: Massada and the Dead Sea area

Today, we will begin with an early breakfast at our hotel before setting out on a journey south toward the Dead Sea. As we approach the shores, we will descend to the lowest point on Earth – 1305 feet (398m) below sea level. Our first stop will be at Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were famously discovered by a young shepherd boy. Next, we will ascend by cable car to the mountaintop plateau of Masada, where the Jewish Zealots bravely fought against the Romans. The Zealots preferred death as free men over Roman slavery and torture and held out for three years against Flavius Silva’s legions.

After exploring these historical sites, we will make our way to the Dead Sea itself – a unique body of water with a salt content of 11%-13% and other natural ingredients. Weather permitting, we will float on the Dead Sea and cover ourselves in its therapeutic mud. In the afternoon and evening, we will return to our hotel in Jerusalem for dinner and an overnight stay.

Sunday, Day 8: Tel Aviv / Ben Gurion Airport

It’s the final day of your tour! Today, you’ll be transferred to Ben Gurion Airport for your departure. Safe travels and we hope you had a great time on your Christian Holy Land Tour!

Naomi and Naamah Feliciano

Eyal for the past 6/7 years you have been handling my visits to Israel. I don’t know how you do it but every time your tours surpass the previous ones.

This one was no different! It totally surpassed the previous ones. My family’s first time in Israel was an incredible once in a lifetime experience thanks to your expertise in putting the tour together to accommodate each and everyone’s needs and desires.

There was excitement for my young grandchildren as there were things geared just for their age and desires. My family toured all of Israel for first time and missed out on nothing. Yet my daughter and I who had been there 4 times already found things never seen in our previous trips.

Your choice of guide all these years was the perfect one! Hillel made your efforts in putting everything together a total success. Looking forward to our next trip.

Thank you so much to your staff and guide Hillel for another awesome experience in Israel.

Beth Fisher

I apologize for the delay in my response. Thank you so much for the wonderful trip to Israel. I appreciate all your hard work in getting everything together. Our guides were great, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The hotels were conveniently located, comfortable and nicely furnished. Everything ran smoothly.

Testimonials from some of our dear clients.

"If you plan a trip to Israel, I highly recommend using TGL TOURS! When you tour with TGL and Yuval Shemesh as your guide, it is much more than just a sight-seeing tour; it is a biblical education and a great spiritual experience that will bring you closer to the Lord Jesus Christ! Going to Israel will put the Bible in living color for you. I truly believe Yuval Shemesh is the best guide in all of Israel! Your trip's administrative responsibilities will be handled professionally by Yuval's daughter, Coral Shemesh, who owns TGL. You can be assured that all your trip bookings will be handled professionally to make your Israel experience of the highest quality! I plan to return, and when I do, it will be with TGL Tours."

Bentonville, Arkansas

"My wife Wanda and I were blessed and fortunate enough to have recently had a tour of the Holy Land of Israel led by the TGL TOURS group. I cannot say enough about the wealth of information that our Guide, Yuval, had. As he spoke at every spot we visited, history came to life, and Yuval was very passionate about what he was sharing with us. As a pastor, I need context so that I can present the proper biblical perspectives, this trip revolutionized my biblical view and brought clarity and context to the times of Christ so vividly that my teaching and preaching will never ever be the same. Thank you, TGL TOURS it was an amazing trip."

New Jersey, USA

"Having led groups to Israel 46 times, I would like to highly recommend Coral Shemesh and TGL TOURS to anyone who is planning on taking a group for a tour of the Holy Land. Coral takes care of the administrative responsibilities, hotels, bus, guide, customized itinerary, and all the matters necessary for a trouble-free pilgrimage to Israel.

"What a life-changing experience to spend 12 days in the Holy Land. I like to refer to this experience as each day was filled with Oohs and Ahhs!.. The professionalism was next level to any guide service I had ever been a part of. Yuval can connect History, Archaeology, and the Bible amazingly, ultimately pointing all to Jesus Christ. I want to learn like he has learned and quote scriptures the way that he does. Coral's organization and care for us on the tour were top-notch! By the way, I salute you and your Husband for your Military service. Our driver was excellent, and we always felt safe in his care. We look forward to our paths crossing again!"

"FIVE STARS! We HIGHLY recommend TGL TOURS! Coral put together an amazing trip for us, every detail was covered! We took a group of 22, which was a good size. During the planning months, she was readily available to answer any questions we had and incorporated our personal requests into the itinerary! Yuval, our guide, is simply the best. A gifted communicator with a wealth of experience and knowledge, Yuval connected the spiritual dots for us as we visited the places of the Bible! We are all left with a deeper appreciation of the Scriptures, knowledge of the Land, and love for the Lord! We plan to use TGL TOURS for all our future return trips to Israel."

"WOW!!! What a journey. Traveling through Israel with TGL TOURS was amazing. Yuval’s wisdom and knowledge of the Bible were so profound. We literally saw everything. The spiritual journey we were on was truly life-changing. I will never read God’s word without envisioning everywhere we were. The Bible has come to life! Yuval always went the extra mile to ensure we never forget this journey through the Holy Land. I can't thank him enough. Our driver, Wassim, was also amazing, I totally felt safe. Yuval’s daughter, Coral, made sure our days were planned out perfectly and always had a smile on her sweet face. I highly recommend TGL for a personal experience. What a great team! Thank you, and May God bless and keep y’all!"
