Along with spiritual preparation, the second most important thing is to make sure you are ready to move around in Israel! By no means do you need to get into a marathon or Triathlon type of shape (not even close) but you do want to make sure you are comfortable enough to walk each day of your tour. If you’ve been on a history tour or similar type of journey before you will probably know what to expect but if this is your first time it’s nice to have a heads up of what to wear on your feet!

As Believers we lean on our faith and belief in God rather than tangible things….”We walk by Faith and not by sight” as many of us like to say.

Here you see the battlegrounds of the 6 Day War and the Yom Kippur War which were prominent battles for the history of Israel. Although a [...]

On just about every tour we offer a visit to the Yigal Alon Museum near the Sea of Galilee. This stop is the home of the 2,000 year old “Jesus boat” that is confirmed to have been around the time Jesus was alive! To have a wooden boat, almost perfectly intact from His time here on earth, really hits home the continuous fact that our God is ALIVE and real. The boat was founded by two brothers back in 1986 who stumbled upon it while walking. For any historians and archeologists visiting Israel, you will be fascinated with how this boat [...]
