Bring your community on a journey beyond the tourist sites. Led by Bible-believing Israeli guides, we’ll connect your group to the land, the people, and the stories that make Israel extraordinary.
We don't just visit these places - we live this reality every day. Our deep roots in the land allow us to share stories, perspectives, and experiences that no outsider ever could.
Your group will meet real Israelis, hear their stories, and experience the heartbeat of modern Israel alongside its ancient heritage. We shatter the tourist bubble that keeps visitors from truly engaging with the actual country.
Our guides are Bible-believing Israelis who understand both the sacred significance of these places and their prophetic importance for today. When we show you where Abraham walked, we feel the same awe that you do.
We'll take you to those incredible biblical sites and bring them to life like no one else can. But we'll also show you how biblical prophecies are being fulfilled today in the brave pioneers of Judea and Samaria and the return of the Jewish people to their ancient homeland.
Every tour is crafted around your community's unique needs and spiritual journey. We're flexible with different group sizes and can accommodate your specific requirements.
Your group won’t just observe – you’ll participate. Whether it’s helping in community gardens, packing care packages for soldiers, or supporting local initiatives, your presence will make a real difference.
Every tour is customized, but here's what a typical group experience includes:
