The Best Holy Land Tours for U.S. Church Groups

Our tours are designed to be unhurried, with time for reflection and prayer at each site and to meet with the Lord in a real way. This is a key differentiator from standard tours that rush from one location to the next.

We understand that a group pilgrimage to Israel for U.S. travelers is a significant investment. That’s why our faith-based travel is designed for maximum spiritual impact, ensuring your group returns not just with photos, but with a deeper connection to their faith.

The Comprehensive Bespoke Tour: Our Recommended Model for Church Groups

For U.S. church groups, we exclusively offer comprehensive, multi-day tours that provide a seamless and deeply spiritual experience. Our multi-day tours are a complete package, including accommodations, transportation and all entrance fees, so there are no hidden costs or unexpected fees. We specialize in creating bespoke, made-to-measure tours to suit the unique requirements and budget of your church. We can customize itineraries for groups of all sizes, with optional extensions to Petra in Jordan, and the possibility of baptisms in the Jordan River for those who desire them.
