Israel Bible Tours invites you to experience the land of Israel, the Holy Land, where the patriarchs, the judges, the prophets, and our Lord Jesus walked. Together, we will study how the Word of God, the history, and the archaeology of Israel richly connect. Our desire is that every person whether already a follower of Jesus, or not yet, will have a face to face encounter with the Lord, and grow in the grace and knowledge of our Savior.

Israel Bible Tours is a ministry and not just a business. Before, during, and after a tour our goal is to minister to you, pray with you, and serve you in every way we can. We welcome you to join us in the Land.

Feast your eyes on the beauty of Israel.

Tours to the Holy Land: Trips & Israel Tour Packages 2024, 2025

"Every place we visited was breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning landscapes and rich historical and cultural heritage. We highly recommend visiting Israel to anyone who wants to experience an unforgettable journey. We had a life-changing time there and are already planning to return." Simon L. and Beatriz G. – Tour to Israel/Egypt/Jordan February 2024 "I had a wonderful time in Israel. I felt while I was there the precautions that were taken for our safety were well in hand. I still got to experience many holy sites and be blessed by walking the path that Jesus walked. Every day was started in prayer, singing, or scripture reading which also extended the blessing of the trip." Quincie L. – Tour to Israel/Egypt/Jordan February 2024

Our Israel tours & Holy Land tours of 9-24 days for the Evangelical Protestant Bible believer are what Pilgrim Tours does best. Prepare yourself for a life-changing journey to walk where Jesus walked and visit Jerusalem, Galilee, & Samaria. Each of our Israel tours is led by a local guide who is an experienced expert on the historical, cultural, scenic, and spiritual history of the Holy Land. If you travel with 10 or more people, a private group tour can easily be arranged. Pilgrim Tours can customize an itinerary to fit your group needs with many options to choose from.

Concerned about safety? As a Christian tour operator, the staff at Pilgrim Tours takes a Biblical perspective regarding the current situation in the Middle East. We do not believe that peace in Israel is something that will occur until the Prince of Peace comes to restore His kingdom. Please do not make a reservation with us based on the hopes of a calm future. If you long for the special blessings only available in Israel, we will take you there. An expert driver and guide will carefully keep you from any areas that could present a problem and treat you to the riches of Israel as our special guest.

Below is a large variety of Israel tour packages departing in 2024 and 2025 year-round.

Featured Sites in Israel

Explore a vast selection of beautiful historical and Biblical locations throughout Israel with our Israel Holy Land tour. You can visit Jerusalem, Galilee, and parts of Samaria, getting the life-changing opportunity to see where Jesus and many other Biblical figures lived and walked. We even offer Holy Land tours that allow you to see the Dead Sea, the Garden Tomb, and the Jordan River Baptism Site. Like all of our Europe tours , our Israel Holy Land tours are led by local guides who have extensive knowledge of the area and its history. If you want to experience the history of Israel and see the Bible come to life, our Holy Land tours give you that opportunity.

The city of Jerusalem offers a unique convergence of Judaism, Christianity, and the Muslim faith. For Christians who visit Jerusalem, you will learn about many stories of the Bible while walking her streets. Many actors in the Bible such as Abraham, King David, King Solomon, the twelve disciples and Jesus all lived, visited, or spent time there. The Passion week of Christ will be highlighted during our stay as we visit the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Western Wall, the Way of Suffering, and the Garden Tomb.

Sea of Galilee

Nowhere in Israel does the Bible come to life more than along the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Pilgrims who visit the Galilee region have the opportunity to imagine what life was like 2,000 years ago and what Jesus and the twelve disciples experienced while fishing on the Sea of Galilee. The peaceful setting and the natural wonders of the Golan Heights to the east and Mt. Arbel to the west make for a great way to start your morning in quiet reflection. During our tour, we explore the Biblical towns of Capernaum, Magdala, and Nazareth and take a meaningful cruise on the Sea of Galilee.

The Dead Sea is not only the lowest and most lifeless lake in the world, but also nearly 10 times saltier than the ocean. Travelers will enjoy the beautiful colors of the blue water and the red mountains of Jordan to the east. Take time to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime Dead Sea “float” either in the sea itself or at one of the warm salt water pools at our hotel. The Dead Sea experience is truly a bucket list visit you won’t want to miss!

Garden Tomb

Our visit to the Garden Tomb and its surrounding gardens is normally one of the highlights of our tour to Israel. The Garden Tomb is a rock-cut tomb in Jerusalem that was unearthed in 1867 and is considered by some Protestants to be the site of the burial and resurrection of Jesus. Our visit offers a unique time of prayer, reflection, communion, and praise, which will be a special life-long memory for many travelers.

Jordan River Baptism Site

The Jordan River Baptist Site or “Yardenit” is a baptism site located along the Jordan River just south of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. This site is frequented by Christian Pilgrims who enjoy imagining the setting of the baptism of Jesus. For anyone who would like to be baptized in the Jordan River, Yardenit has been developed to be a peaceful setting with beautiful gardens, clean colored water, changing facilities, showers, and a nice souvenir shop.

Caesarea Philippi

To many Pilgrim travelers, Caesarea Philippi is a special surprise while on their tour. Located along the rushing springs of Mt. Hermon, the beautiful and natural setting is where Jesus asked his disciples “Who do men say that I am?” He asked this question while observing the pagan worship of the god Pan as worshipers offered their sacrifice at the “Gates of Hell.” Our time at Caesarea Philippi is one of many opportunities throughout our tour to see the lessons and message of the Bible come to light in a special way.

Israel Tours: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best month for the Holy Land tour?

Taking a trip to Israel during the spring or fall offers the most enjoyable weather of the year but normally has the largest crowds. If you want to enjoy a peaceful tour with fewer crowds, consider visiting between December and February or June and August. We offer Israel and Jordan tours throughout the year, so you can select a trip that works for your schedule.

How many days do you need for a Holy Land tour?

We offer several types of tours of the Holy Land, so the duration of your tour depends on the tour package you choose. The Best of Israel Tour is our most basic offering and includes a Sea of Galilee boat ride, a trip to the Jordan River Baptism Site, the Dead Sea, and many opportunities to walk on the same land Jesus walked on. This is our shortest trip at just 9 or 10 days. Our most involved trips allow you to experience a wide range of historical locations over the course of a few weeks. Egypt tours are included in some of these packages, as well as tours in Greece and other countries. These tours can take up to 24 days, giving you the chance to spend an extended period of time learning about and visiting different parts of the world. From our Turkey tours to all of our Israel Christian tours, all of our tours feature a first-class hotel rating for the country you visit. We do offer some upgraded tours that offer better lodging options. You can review our hotel categories at https://www.pilgrimtours.com/company/hotelcomparison.htm . Check out any of our tours to view a day-by-day itinerary and see what amenities are included with each tour.

What is the dress code in Israel?

The dress code in Israel is different from other parts of the world. There are a few dress code basics you should understand before booking Israel tours: When you’re in Israel, there is no strict dress code. You can wear what you feel comfortable wearing. However, both men and women should try to dress conservatively and cover their shoulders and knees when visiting any of the religious sites throughout Israel. Generally speaking, it’s best to avoid tank tops and shorts. Men need to cover their heads when visiting the Western Wall. Pilgrim Tours provides a Pilgrim Tours ball cap upon arrival in Israel, but you might consider purchasing an affordable kippa that you can bring when you visit Jewish sites. Some places may offer a free kippa, but these are generally low quality. (Women are not required to cover their heads at any sight.) You can figure out what you need to pack and how to dress each day by looking at the itinerary for our Holy Land tours. Guides normally offer guidance on how to dress for the next day while on tour. We also suggest looking at the extended weather forecast as you prepare and pack for your trip.

Is there a lot of walking involved on an Israel Tour?

Our Israel tours do require a significant amount of walking each day and you should be able to walk unassisted 3-4 miles per day on average. Make sure you have a comfortable pair of shoes that provide adequate support. While there are bus and boat rides during these tours, you have to walk quite a bit to explore some of the Biblical sites. Our tour guides normally give the group a few options at sites for those that have physical limitations. One thing to keep in mind is that there are many hills and valleys in Israel which can make walking even more taxing. The amount of walking you have to do may vary based on the tour you take, so look at the itinerary before choosing your tour. The good news is that Israel is a beautiful country to see on foot, and you’ll have several opportunities to sit down and give your feet a rest. As long as you have a good pair of shoes and comfortable clothes, it’s easy to forget about all the walking you’re doing and enjoy the tour.

What passport & visa information do I need for your Israel tours?

U.S. citizens need a valid U.S. passport with at least six months validity beyond their intended stay to enter Israel. Make two photocopies of your passport. Leave one copy at home and carry the other separately from your original. Israel: U.S. and Canadian Citizens do not need a Visa when entering Israel. Non U. S. /Canadian Citizens are responsible to fulfill appropriate entry requirements of destination. Contact your Consulate office for requirements.

What common languages will be spoken during your Israel tours?

Hebrew, Arabic and English.

What currency can I use on your Israel tours?

The U.S. dollar is widely accepted across Israel, and we suggest bringing about $30 for each day you’ll be on tour. U.S. dollars are recommended for use for small purchases and lunches. Lunches typically cost $15-20. It is important to bring about 20 $1 bills as some bathrooms charge a small fee for use. Credit cards may also be used for larger purchases. ATMs in Israel are all connected to European and American banking systems. Please be advised that the ATM machines dispense money in SHEKELS – NOT U.S. DOLLARS. Please notify your bank before traveling overseas.

Do I need to bring a converter for the Israel tour?

Israel uses the European plug with two round pins. You will need to bring along the necessary converters and adapters to operate any 120 volt appliances such as hair dryers and electric razors as well as camera and cell phone chargers. Electricity in Israel is 220 volts 50 Hz.

What is the time zone for your Israel tours?

The time zone for Israel is seven hours ahead of EST and two hours ahead of GMT.

What climate should I expect during your Israel tours?

In Israel the climate is temperate, and temperatures all year-round are reasonable. Israel has two main seasons: winter (from November to March) is cold and rainy in most parts of the country; summer (from April to October) is hot and dry with little or no rainfall. The desert areas can be extremely hot in summer time.

"Pilgrim tours is who I'll be recommending people to travel with. We've been trying to get to Israel for two years and finally made it!! Great company from booking to on the ground with great guides. All details taken care of with great hotels, bus, and the best guides!! Wonderful experience!"

"We had a great experience in Israel with Pilgrim Tours. Everything went very well and there were no glitches or problems of any kind. The bus and driver were top notch as were the hotels and daily breakfast buffets. Our tour guide was great as his depth of knowledge of the people, history and languages Israel was quite amazing. We will very likely use Pilgrim again in the future."

"We have toured with Pilgrim Tours three times and what a blessing. Accommodations, excursions, information and food were all high quality. Post pandemic, we were so thankful to return to Israel."

"I couldn't have asked for more for a trip to the Holy Land than what Pilgrim Tours provided me. It was the perfect balance of spiritual reverence, history, geography, and social issues. I am so grateful for the experience that I had on this trip."

"Our church group just returned from taking a "Best of Israel" ten day tour. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I am so glad we chose Pilgrim tours. From our excellent hotel accommodations, to our wonderful tour guide, we enjoyed everything. Our trip exceeded our expectations. I would recommend Pilgrim Tours to anyone who is planning a trip to the Holy Land. We definitely plan to travel with them again."

I have traveled throughout Europe and Central America with many different tour guides. Tamar, with America Israel Tours, is my favorite. Her knowledge of the Bible and its history brought it to life. And added with her extensive knowledge was her wit and humor. Best tour guide I've ever had by far. America Israel Tours personally were great in setting up our trip and taking great care of us".

Faith Pilgrimage & Bible Study Tours

Your Bible-centered experience in Israel will be designed and operated by our team of Israeli experts to best compliment your spiritual goals and expectations.

Israel is, and always shall remain, the focal point of Bible-oriented pilgrimage for Christians of all traditions and backgrounds.

Ever since Father Abraham pitched his tent in the land God calls "My land," the hills and valleys of Canaan served as the backdrop for the most momentous and epic events that have shaped our world for thousands of years.

Prophets, priests, and kings were anointed and commissioned here; most of the Scriptures were penned here; the Jerusalem Temples hosted worshippers from all over the world; the Son of God Himself was born, lived, suffered, died, and rose to life again in this land.

Whatever your faith, tradition, and background are, our experienced team will help you design and operate the perfect program for your group, making sure that your Bible-centered experience in Israel will not only compliment your spiritual goals and expectations but will also draw your group members closer to God.

Contact us today to start the conversation and explore our suggested itineraries for Evangelical, Catholic, or ecumenical groups.

Old City of Jerusalem with blue sky above

Your life-changing journey of Israel begins here

Why do you need to visit israel, “a tour to israel is worth more than a year in bible college” is one of the many memorable and life-changing statements attributed to pastor chuck smith, of blessed memory. .

Pastor Smith was one of, if not the most influential, leaders of the “Jesus Movement” in the late 60’s and 70’s which reached out to young hippies and surfers in California. This era of Christian revival led to an incredible time of spiritual renewal that continues to influence the Evangelical Christian community decades later.

Not only did Pastor Smith have a great love for the young and spiritually disenfranchised people of California, he had what at that time was a rare insight and sensitivity to the relevance of the regathering of the Jewish people back to the land of Israel and the establishment of the modern State of Israel in 1948. 

Pastor Smith understood and appreciated the importance of recognizing the Jewish root of the Christian’s faith in the land and people of Israel.

Consequently, he led dozens of biblically-based tours to Israel for nearly forty years. Pastor Smith was able to provide literally thousands of Christians traveling with him an opportunity to study the Bible in the places where the biblical accounts actually took place. 

In addition to visiting sites such as Mt. Carmel, Capernaum, Mt. of Beatitudes, Beth She’an, Tel Dan, Jerusalem, and so many others, Pastor Smith also shared insightful teachings which strengthened the tour participants’ understanding of the Scriptures.

Many have testified that their Bible-based tour was a life-changing experience with their beloved Pastor and teacher.

This fusion of on-site Bible study while touring the Holy Land has become an effective experience offered and encouraged by many of the most influential voices in the Evangelical Christian world as well as traditional and Catholic Church leaders, Pastors, and Bible teachers. 

Some have expressed the concern that on a “Holy Land Tour” they will end up “running through the places where Jesus walked,” which admittedly is not a very appealing thought.

We at Sar-El Tours, along with our partners in Travel Agencies and Tour Operators around the world, are committed to working with Pastors and Tour Leaders in order to customize their itinerary to meet their vision, their needs, and the interests of their travelers.

At Sar-El Tours, there are no “standard tours,” only customized tours to meet our Tour Leaders’ expectations.

What to see while on a Bible Tour in Israel?

There are many sites that are “must-see” for first-time visitors to Israel.  These include,

  • Caesarea Marittima, a magnificent port built by Herod the Great on the Mediterranean Coast and where later the Apostle Paul was imprisoned before being sent to Rome for trial. 
  • Muchraka, Mt. Carmel, where Elijah the prophet challenged the prophets of Baal and brought down God’s fire from heaven, overlooking the Jezreel Valley and Nazareth.
  • Mt of Beatitudes , where Jesus delivered His single longest sermon, teaching a different and revolutionary way of living as recorded in the Gospels.
  • Capernaum , Peter’s hometown where Jesus anchored His Galilean ministry and performed many miracles of healing.
  • A boat ride across the Sea of Galilee , known in Hebrew as the Lake of Kinneret. This is often one of the highlights of the Christian visitor’ experience in Israel.

These are just a few of the Biblical sites that a Christian pilgrim can experience in Israel, and we haven’t even begun to discuss the Dead Sea or the many sites in Jerusalem!

The result of seeing the Biblical sites firsthand

Most people, when they read the Bible, have their own mental images of the landscapes, sounds, and tastes associated with the Biblical accounts. By coming to Israel and visiting these places first hand, understanding of the Scriptures takes on a completely new and exciting dimension. Among the many responses we have heard while serving Christian visitors to Israel over 27 years are:

“Before I came to Israel reading the Bible was like reading in black and white.  Now, after having been to the sites, I am reading in color.”

“The Bible has become multi-dimensional now after seeing the land of the Bible in person and studying the scriptures in the places where the events happened.”

Another young tour participant’s life dramatically changed when she visited the Garden of Gethsemane . It was there, while her Pastor was teaching about Jesus’ last night before his arrest, that she understood that Jesus did not have to suffer and die for her on the cross. While visiting the physical garden, standing in the shade of the ancient olive trees, this young Christian personally grasped and internalized the fact that Jesus submitted His will to the Father’s and chose to face His Cross in order to provide Eternal Life for those who would follow Him.

This young lady finished high school wholly dedicated to the teachings of Jesus, went on to college, is raising a fine Christian family, and together with her husband established and pastor a thriving Church.

Another benefit of a Bible Land Tour is that in addition to building up the individual Christian faith, the experience strengthens the community. In our modern busy lives, many people show up for Church services on a Sunday and go home with little interaction with other Church members throughout the week.

Tour Leaders have shared that the bonding between tour members while on the Israel Tour is an important opportunity and tool for strengthening the Church community.

The shared times of Bible study, spiritual experiences, prayer, and fellowship which takes place while on tour result in closer relationships, shared vision, and renewal upon the tour groups’ return home.

These are only a few testimonies of how a visit to Israel can influence the life of a Christian.  Hundreds of influential Christian Leaders and Ministers have come to appreciate the importance, if not necessity, of making a modern “pilgrimage” to the land of the Bible themselves in order to see, learn, feel and experience firsthand the land where the Faith began.

It is our privilege to serve

For almost 30 years, we at Sar-El Tours consider it a great privilege to provide Christian visitors of all backgrounds and from every continent.

We are committed to serving all who seek and desire what we believe is a life-changing experience for Christians of all backgrounds.  No group is too small and no project is too large for us to provide wholehearted and professional service.

We encourage all Pastors, Bible study leaders, Seminary professors, and Ministry leaders to contact us regarding your community’s tour to Israel .

We will work with you through one of our many reliable Travel Partners in your area in order to put in place all the services required for your customized visit to the Land of the Bible.

We look forward to hearing from you and serving you here in Israel where the scriptures take on new life.

What You Will See On Your Israel Bible Tour

Description.

Dr. John DeLancey serves as Director, tour leader, and Bible teacher Biblical Israel Ministries & Tours is an evangelical and interdenominational ministry dedicated to making the Bible “come alive” for followers of Christ. Our primary focus is helping people “connect the dots” between the ancient world of the Bible and Scripture. We teach the Bible in the context of archaeology, history, geography, customs, and culture. We do this through leading highly biblical Israel Tours (as well as to Jordan, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and Italy) and offering “Physical Settings of the Bible” teaching seminars for churches and schools. Every tour is non-touristy and highly biblical trips highlighting real biblical sites (vs. traditional), with many off-the-beaten-track sites. Dr. John DeLancey serves as Director, tour leader, and Bible teacher.  To date, he has led 82 tours to Israel and 14 separate Greece Tours. The ministry website is – www.biblicalisraeltours.com.

Learn more about israel for trip planning.

Great app. I traveled to Israel (and Egypt) with Dr. DeLancey in April 2016. Unfortunately, this wonderful app was not available prior to my trip. Here, in one place is all of the content to plan and learn about a trip to Israel. I especially like the "Israel Site Summaries", "Tour Videos from Israel" and the "Podcast" features. Thank you to Dr. DeLancey for such an informative app.
