This is my recommended Bible Study tour for a Christian pilgrim in the Holy Land. This tour will bring the Bible to life and give you new insights that are better than gold and silver. The itinerary is updated according to the latest archeological discoveries and can be “tailor made” to your specific needs and wishes. The tour includes eight full touring days of visiting the most important biblical sights in Israel.
The group spiritual leader will preach where Jesus, Peter and Paul preached, and the group will have prayer and worship times at inspiring locations. You will experience biblical attractions such as boating on the Sea of Galilee, camel riding, walking the Jesus trail, enjoying traditional meals and much more! It is a “life-changing” Bible Land Tour that you will never forget.
The Tour Highlights
Magdala
Discovered in 2009, this amazing site has only recently been opened to the public. You will stand in the same synagogue where Jesus and His disciples spent countless hours teaching.
Herodian Quarter
Go beneath the houses of the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem to see the remains of what many speculate to be the house of Caiaphas the Head Priest.
Camel Ride in Judean Desert
Explore the landscape of the Judean Desert in an exciting way! Riding a camel is a unique experience that you won’t forget.
Masada
Tour the most famous fortress built by Herod the Great that was later used by the Jewish rebels in a desperate battle against the Roman army. Exceptional archaeological preservation and the portrayals of Josephus Flavius make it possible to tell the amazing story of the Jewish people and the entire world.
Wooden Boat Ride
Enjoy an extended time of preaching, worshiping, celebrating, and quiet reflection on a wooden boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. The Scriptures that describe Jesus walking on water and calming the Sea will come to life as never before.
The Temple Mount
Ascend to Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, where the binding of Isaac took place and where the Temple was built. This Holy ground area was the focus of Jesus activity in Jerusalem.

More details
I personally plan and guide each tour. The tour program is designed to make the most of each day [not a shopping tour]. We collaborate with pastors and tour leaders to ensure that there are multiple preaching and worship opportunities at incredible locations throughout the tour.
This tour is for everyone in your faith community regardless of activity and mobility levels. Everyone is invited and will find that the tour accommodates their individual needs.
Our buses don’t just look new, they are new! They are fully equipped with Wi-Fi, USB chargers, and a water refrigerator. I also personally choose each bus driver for the tours.
You can choose between four-star level hotels or five-star level hotels. We advise booking your trip as early as possible so we can book the most suitable hotels for you. I look forward to seeing you in the Holy Land!
