Who plans the trip — and how long has Christian Israel Tours been running?

Christian Israel Tours is a US-Israeli operator founded in 1984. We have led Christian groups through the Holy Land for over 40 years from offices in Boca Raton, Florida and Tel Aviv, Israel. Every itinerary is designed in-house and run with Israel Ministry of Tourism-licensed guides.

Where do your tours actually go in the Holy Land?

Our standard 9–11 day Christian itineraries cover Jerusalem (Old City, Mount of Olives, Garden of Gethsemane, Holy Sepulchre, Garden Tomb, Western Wall), Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee region (Capernaum, Mount of Beatitudes, Tabgha, Magdala), Nazareth, Mount Tabor, the Dead Sea, Masada, and Caesarea Maritima. Many groups add a 2-night Jordan extension covering Petra, Wadi Rum, and Mount Nebo.

How much does a Holy Land tour with you cost?

Fully-inclusive 9–11 day Christian Israel tours from US gateways generally run $4,500–$6,000 per person twin-share in 2026. That covers round-trip airfare, 4-star hotels, daily breakfast and dinner, licensed guide, all entrance fees, transportation, and gratuities for guide and driver. Adding a 2-night Petra/Jordan extension typically adds $850–$1,200 per person.

When can my church group travel with you?

We run pastor-hosted departures throughout 2026 and 2027, with peak seasons in March–May (Holy Week and Easter pilgrimages) and September–November (Sukkot and ideal weather). Custom group itineraries can depart any month of the year. We recommend booking 6–10 months ahead to lock in pricing and hotel blocks.

Is Israel safe for Christian tour groups right now?

We monitor US State Department guidance and Israeli security advisories daily and adjust itineraries as needed. Israel is one of the most heavily-secured tourism destinations in the world, and Christian sites operate under extra security during high-traffic seasons. We strongly recommend trip cancellation insurance and offer full refunds for departures we ourselves cancel due to safety concerns.
