For Parishes, Dioceses & Churches

For generations, Filipino pilgrims have dreamed of walking where Jesus walked. We make that journey simple for your group: one bus, one English-speaking guide, and a carefully paced pilgrimage — from the shores of the Sea of Galilee to prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Why Travel With Us

Made for Filipino pilgrimage groups

Whether your group is a parish pilgrimage led by your priest or an evangelical church traveling with your pastor, everything is arranged together — flights, hotels, touring and meals.

Fly from Manila

Round-trip group fares from Manila with major airlines — one stop via Istanbul, Abu Dhabi or Bangkok today, and an El Al nonstop announced for the future.

Your priest or pastor travels free

With a full group, add complimentary places for your priest, pastor or group organizer — their costs are spread across the paying members, so the price you see already covers them.

English-speaking guides

Licensed local guides who speak English lead every touring day, and your planner, itinerary and travel documents are all in English.

Clear prices in US dollars

Your planner shows the per-person group price in US dollars the moment you enter your group size and dates — no waiting for a callback or an email quote.

One group, one journey of faith

Most of our pilgrimage groups travel with 20 to 45 people. Your journey begins with an overnight flight from Manila; you land at Ben Gurion Airport the following day, where your guide meets the group and your bus takes you to your first hotel. From there, every day is arranged: breakfast and dinner at the hotel, full days of touring with your guide, and time for prayer and reflection at the holy places.

The group planner shows your complete day-by-day itinerary and your price before you commit to anything — including per-person prices at other group sizes, so your organizer can plan as the group grows.

Practical notes for Filipino groups

Do Philippine passport holders need a visa for Israel?

Yes — Philippine passport holders need a visa arranged before travel; you cannot simply fly and enter. For organized groups, our office guides the group visa process step by step: what documents each traveler prepares, how the applications are submitted together, and when to start. Begin early, and make sure every passport is valid for at least six months beyond the travel dates.

How do we fly from Manila to Israel?

Today, groups fly from Manila with major airlines on one-stop routings — typically via Istanbul, Abu Dhabi or Bangkok. El Al has announced a future nonstop flight between Manila and Tel Aviv; when it begins operating, we will offer it to our groups.

Can our priest, pastor or group organizer travel free?

Yes. With a full group, add complimentary (free) places on the group form — for your priest, pastor or group organizer. Their costs are calculated into the trip and spread across the paying members, so the per-person price you see already covers them.

What is included in the group price?

Hotel accommodations on half board (breakfast and dinner daily), transfers on arrival and departure between the airport and your hotel, meet and assist at the airport on arrival, all touring days with a licensed English-speaking guide, and entrance fees to all sites on the tour — including the Masada cable car ride on tours that visit Masada.

How and when do we pay?

Prices on the planner are shown in US dollars. A deposit of 20% holds your dates and prices. The balance is due 90 days before departure; for bookings made within 90 days of departure, full payment is due at booking. Our office confirms everything with you before you book.

What should we pack, and what is the weather like?

Your planner shows the weather for your travel months in Celsius, so you can pack for the season. Bring modest clothing for the holy sites — shoulders and knees covered — comfortable walking shoes, and a light jacket for Jerusalem evenings, which are cool even in summer.
