Biblical Private Tour of Israel - Full Day

This is an "open book" tour - and that Book is the Bible.

This tour concentrates on the Judean hills which witnessed some of the most dramatic events in Israels' history. On my tour you will be where it all happened! We'll use the Book of Samuel and the Book of Judges as our guides while we walk the beautiful Ela valley and visit the encampments of the Israelite and Philistine armies.

Did you know people say the Judean hills remind them of Tuscany? Ancient Biblical sites are interspersed with captivating scenery, modern day villages, wineries, geological formations such as stalactite caves with wonderful acoustics and ancient art, goat farms with home made cheeses and more.

This is a truly blessed land. For many of us in this country, this is our favourite place to come to stroll and picnic amongst the hills covered in wild flowers in the Spring.

Not all of Judea is drama and conflict - this is beautiful agriculture and wine country, so we won't miss out on a few wineries before we return to your hotel.

Druze Cultural Experience with Kibbutz visit

"A most unique tour, one we would highly recommend if you want to really understand Israel and its people. Visited a Kibbutz and was led by a woman whose entire life was spent living in that environment. Toured the property, learned the history, met the locals and and joined them for lunch. We also visited a Druze village where we spent at least an hour in a resident's home, met the family, learned about the religion and the lifestyle, and felt like a guest. Quite a unique experience, one you should not miss" (Sara Lafrance from Nevada USA)
