Without a doubt, a journey to Israel is unlike any other! I would love to invite you to join Lisa and me for an extraordinary Real Life Tour of the Holy Land. My good friend, Amir Tsarfati, and other guides will join us as we visit some of the world’s most renowned biblical sites. Together, we bring almost two decades of touring experience throughout Israel. In addition, perhaps most importantly, we will stand on location with Bibles open and learn some of the greatest lessons from the Scriptures. We will walk where Jesus walked, visit the Empty Tomb and spend time on the Sea of Galilee. Please consider joining us for an exceptional tour of Israel which promises to change how you see your Bible and how you live your life.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am traveling alone and noticed the trip cost is double occupancy. Will I have a roommate?
For those traveling alone and needing a roommate, we will do our best to pair you up with a roommate of the same sex.
Can I room by myself?
Yes, but there is a significant fee for single occupancy. Single occupancy is an additional $1,925 per person.
How long is the flight?
That will depend on your departure city. Please ensure you don’t have too long of a layover or too many stops. Those airfares are less expensive, but it makes for a long, tiring day before you arrive in Israel and if you’ve never experienced jet lag, it can be exhausting.
Will I receive more information when I arrive at the hotel to check in?
Yes, you will be greeted upon arriving at the hotel with all pertinent information regarding your stay.
What is the weather like?
The best thing to do is to check the weather online. Be sure to bring a light jacket and layer your clothes.
How many buses will the tour have?
We will not know how many buses until after we have sign-ups. We can take up to 10 buses.
How much spending money should I bring?
You will be responsible for two lunches, snacks, sodas, and any souvenirs you would like to purchase. A good starting point would be $300-$500 cash, but remember you can also use your credit card. It all depends on your spending habits. You can purchase water on the bus for $1.00, so we advise you to bring dollar bills. You will also be able to order authentic Israeli jewelry, such as necklaces, rings, and money clips inscribed with your favorite scripture in Hebrew. The jeweler does take credit cards or cash.
Can I use my credit card while traveling internationally?
Yes, definitely. Visa and MasterCard are easier to use than American Express. Most credit card companies have international fees, so check with your banking institution. Also, it’s best to alert your credit card company that you will be traveling internationally.
Can I use my cell phone to text or call home? If so, what is the cost?
You need to contact your cell phone carrier. International calls are costly. However, many carriers have plans for international travel. Texting can be part of your plan, and it’s much more cost effective to text than to make an international call. You must set up your international plan before departure.
Is the food good?
The food is excellent! Fresh fruits and vegetables are available at each meal with a variety of different types of foods.
Will I be able to get baptized in Israel?
Yes, you will have the opportunity to be baptized in the Jordan River.
Are there hair dryers in each hotel room?
Yes, hairdryers are supplied.
Do I tip the driver, guides, and hotel staff?
No, all tips are included in the cost of the trip.
Where should I pack my prescription medications?
Pack all prescription medicines in your carry-on luggage, in the event your check-in luggage is delayed. Luggage does not get delayed often, but it is better to always have your prescriptions/medications with you.
Will I need an adaptor/transformer for my computer, curling/flat iron, electric razor, etc.?
For ladies that use curling irons, flat irons, etc., we suggest you purchase them with international dual voltage. You will still need the adaptor for these dual-voltage items but not the transformer. If you bring your computer, you will need the adaptor only as they are made to handle the dual voltage.
Can I drink the water?
Absolutely! Bottled water will be available on each bus for $1 a bottle. It is important you stay hydrated on this trip!
Do I need to exchange my American dollars for shekels?
No, that is unnecessary, as American dollars or credit cards are accepted in the shops you visit.
Is the Covid Vaccine required?
No, the Covid Vaccine is no longer required nor a vaccine card.
What age children are allowed on the tour?
Children age 5 and older.
What information is needed for registration?
Name, address, phone number, email address and credit card information.
Who can I sign up?
You are only able to register the same number of spots that you had originally confirmed.
