Tour Itinerary
Below is the draft itinerary for the tour. Our itinerary includes linking with other groups in Israel, so details are not completely finalised.
We will have our own full-time guide and coach, so as a group we will be able to tinker with the itinerary to maximise the balance of each day and week.
To make the tour as enjoyable as possible we aim to fill only two thirds of each day with focused activity.

Israel is one of the most "religious" regions on earth where three world religions are competing for dominance and a voice. With this tour we will go below the religious chatter and touch the core of "The Land."
We will explore God's original intent before religion tried to wrest control. We will avoid the superficial religious activity to connect with the deep truth revealed in this region. This takes time.
The nation of Israel is a tiny, diverse piece of land which is rich in layers across 6000 years of history. Even if you traveled across her for a decade you would still not see everything, much less understand it all.
Most of us don’t get the chance to go and live in "The Land" for a decade, so we need to absorb what we can in bite-sized pieces.
This tour is longer than most so that we have time to really feel the land. We have kept the cost low so that you can experience 20 days at the same price that many other tours charge for ten.
I believe that when you visit the Holy Land what you see, hear, do and feel in Israel should:
What you experience in "The Land" should stay deeply embedded in you when return home.
I have been on many tours in Israel which didn’t achieve these things. I have traveled through "The Land" five times and been on more than a dozen tours. I have learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t.
A Unique Tour
This tour is the combined result of all of these experiences, plus real input from the savvy locals! Many things are unique on this tour, but the greatest is that you will walk logically through the layers in chronological order so bits fit together and make sense.
If this is your only trip to Israel – let us give you a logical, full experience that changes you forever.
If this is your first trip to Israel - let us help you build a solid and personal foundation for future trips.
If you have been to Israel before – let us pull it all together for you and take you to another level.
We will:
The group will be facilitated like a workshop on wheels, so you can expect to:
