Read our Article: Why should you take a Holy Land Tour?
Our Holy Land tours are hosted by Rev. Ricky Anderson, owner of Holy Land Treasues USA. Each of our Holy Land trips are designed to allow the traveler to see and take in as much as they can of the Holy Land in the 10 days of the tour. We welcome all Christian denominations to our Holy Land Tours and Ricky promises not to split theological hairs with anyone. A tour of the Holy Land will change your life and make your Bible go from black and white to color as you visit the sites where biblical events occured and walk the same land that Jesus walked. On our Holy Land tours we try to squeeze in as many visits as we can to biblical sites not offered on standard Holy Land pilgramages. We limit our groups to 40 so that each tour will be personal and the group can stay together for the length of the tour. Breakfast and dinner daily is included in your tour cost, wonderful hotel accomodations, deluxe motor coach and an Israeli tour guide will be with our group for the duration of the tour. Your Holy Land tour package also includes roud trip airfare from New York to Tel Aviv. Read our article, "Why should you take a Holy Land Tour"?

Your Holy Land tour really begins as we land in the Promised Land. Upon arrival in Tel Aviv, we transfer to our hotel for dinner and overnight.

If you are looking for a Holy Land tour that is personal and affordable, our Holy Land tours may be what you are looking. Our dear friends at Journeys Unlimited do a wonderful job at keeping our tours affordable and Ricky Anderson, owner of Holy Land Treasures USA, does all that he can do to make our Holy Land tours personal. Our Holy Land trips usually last 10 days and we try to pack as much into your tour as possible. Most people consider our Holy Land tours to be the trip of a lifetime, but we don't wish to deceive anyone that our tour is simply a vacation. Our Holy Land tours require a great deal of walking (especially in and around Jerusalem) and we try to move our group at a steady pace so that we can take in all that is possible in your 10 day tour.
Our tours do have a luxurious side though. For the 10 days of our Holy Land trip you will be transported in a deluxe motor coach from biblical site to biblical site. In the evenings you will stay at 4 and 5 star hotels for the entire trip. All of our Holy Land tours include breakfast and dinner daily. (This is the most dangerous part of your Holy Land tour. You may gain about 10 pounds if you are not careful.) Our tours are priced for double occupancy but if you desire a single room it can be arranged for an additional fee (usually $350.00).
