Israel
February 2, 2027 to February 11, 2027
Begin your journey flying from the U.S. to Israel, arriving in Tel Aviv where you meet your guide and settle in for the start of your adventure. Travel north along the Mediterranean to explore Caesarea, Megiddo, Mt. Carmel, Nazareth, Cana, and the hills overlooking the Galilee. Spend time around the Sea of Galilee visiting the Mount of Beatitudes, Capernaum, Tabgha, Bethsaida, and enjoy a memorable boat ride.
Continue through the Golan Heights to Caesarea Philippi, Tel Dan, Gideon Springs, and Beit Shean before ascending to Jerusalem. Experience the Mount of Olives, the Old City, the Western Wall, Temple Mount, the Via Dolorosa, and Bethlehem. Journey into the Judean Desert to Qumran, Ein Gedi, Masada, and the Dead Sea, with opportunities to visit Qasr el-Yahud and Jericho.
Explore the Shrine of the Book, the Jerusalem model, the City of David, Hezekiah’s Tunnel, the Pool of Siloam, St. Peter in Gallicantu, and the Garden Tomb. Conclude with time in Jerusalem, a visit to the Elah Valley and Jaffa, and then return home with lasting memories and a deeper understanding of the life of Jesus.
Level 1: Easy
This trip is comparable to a sightseeing bus tour. Most of the travel will be from the comforts of our air-conditioned motor coaches. There may be limited walking, sometimes even across uneven surfaces. Nearly all sites will be wheelchair accessible.
Level 2: Relaxed
This trip consists of light walking, potentially 1-3 miles per day at most. Most of your time will be spent on the bus, at museums or other sites with frequent stops, or places with similar accommodations. Occasionally there will be uneven paths, however most sites will be wheelchair accessible.
Level 3: Moderately Active (Most Common)
This trip is our most popular and standardized for our most common programs. On average you’ll be walking 3-5 miles per day, with a handful of sites having uneven pathways. Some sites may be wheelchair accessible, however some will not. Some sites may be inaccessible due to stairs or rugged terrain. There will be frequent stops throughout the day to rest and catch your breath.
Level 4: Very Active
This trip is a bit more energetic, featuring the occasional hike or even potentially a dig site. You’ll be walking anywhere between 4-7 miles per day, many sites will have uneven or unpaved walkways. Several sites will be wheelchair accessible, and have wheelchair specific areas, however many sites do contain stairs or other similar obstacles. Travelers are welcome to sit on the bus or meet with the group at the end of certain sites if they do not wish to participate.
Level 5: Energetic
This is our most energetic program! We’ve specifically aimed these programs at students and young adults, as they may consist of 6-10 miles of walking per day, along with hikes and other adventurous obstacles. This tour is more strenuous than most tour programs. While some sites may offer accommodations for wheelchairs or walkers, travelers may want to opt out from certain sites due to uneven terrain and unpaved pathways. Some programs also include early dusk or dawn hikes or walks, which could be difficult for some with impaired vision in darker settings.
