Overview

The Interfaith Israel Tour – Classic is the journey travelers return home raving about: ten days that unite Jewish heritage and Christian faith across the full sweep of Israel, from the Mediterranean coast to the Galilee hills, the Judean desert to the eternal city of Jerusalem. We welcome Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and Messianic pilgrims — our Catholic tours, Messianic tours, and Christian pilgrimage tours cover all the top Israel Christian tours and Christian Israel tours for believers.

This Israel group tour honors both testaments. You'll trace Jewish history from Masada's mountaintop fortress to the Western Wall and the halls of the Knesset, then follow the life of Jesus from the quiet shores of the Sea of Galilee to the Via Dolorosa and the garden tomb of Bethlehem's Nativity. With expert guiding, fine hotels, included dinners and leisurely Shabbat interludes, the Classic is the definitive interfaith Israel tour for first-time visitors and returning pilgrims alike.
