A Pilgrimage to the Home of Your Faith

Sacred Sites

You’ll Experience on a Holy Land Tour

From the ancient stone streets of Jerusalem to the peaceful waters of the Sea of Galilee, these are not just destinations — they are living pages of Scripture waiting to be experienced. This is where the Bible comes alive beneath your feet, and where your journey through Israel truly begins.

Let us take you there and turn what you’ve read into something you’ll never forget.

Jerusalem (and Bethlehem)

Walk where Jesus walked through the Old City. Follow the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, with a visit to the Garden Tomb along the way. A short drive away in Bethlehem, you’ll explore the Church of the Nativity and Shepherds’ Field — the very town where Jesus was born.

Sea of Galilee

Sail the waters where Jesus calmed the storm and called His disciples. Visit Capernaum, the Mount of Beatitudes, and the site of the feeding of the five thousand.

Nazareth

Step into the boyhood home of Jesus. At Nazareth Village, see first-century life recreated with authentic craftsmanship.

The Jordan River

Stand at the traditional site of Jesus’ baptism – and, for groups who choose it, participate in a baptism or renewal ceremony.

Dead Sea and Masada

Float in the lowest point on earth and ascend the mountaintop fortress — sites that add depth to Scripture’s geography.

Why Immanuel Tours

Trusted for the Holy Land – For Good Reason

There are many companies offering tours to the Holy Land – but only a few that specialize in serving Christian travelers with the personal, ministry-minded attention your pilgrimage deserves. Here’s what sets us apart.

A Family-Owned, Christian-Operated Company

We’ve been welcoming Christians to Israel for more than 50 years as a family-owned business based in Nes Ziona. Our team treats your travel as a ministry – because for us, it is one.

Every Itinerary Is Fully Customized

We don’t run fixed-date group tours you join alongside strangers. Every Holy Land tour is built from the ground up around your group – your denomination, pace, budget, and priorities.

Your Guide, Known in Advance

Most tour companies don’t introduce your guide until you arrive. We believe in a more personal experience, which is why we introduce your guide in advance so you know exactly who will be journeying through the Holy Land with your group.

Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees

Everything in your itinerary is included in your quoted price – no surprise charges, no upsells on the ground. The number we give you is the number you pay.

Safety-Certified and Always Prepared

Certified members of the Israel Incoming Tour Operators Association, operating under the Safe Travel Israel Protocol. We monitor conditions continuously to keep your group informed and protected – in every season.

Multilingual, Deeply Local Team

Our staff speaks Hebrew, English, German, Norwegian, and Danish – with deep relationships across Israel’s Christian, Messianic, and local communities.

Also Walking the Biblical Story: Footsteps of Paul Tours in Greece

While Israel remains the heart of the Holy Land story, the New Testament journey continues through Greece – where the Apostle Paul founded the earliest churches and wrote letters that still shape Christian faith today.

Our Footsteps of Paul Tour follows Paul’s missionary path through Thessaloniki, Philippi, Corinth, Athens, and Ephesus, with extensions to Patmos where John received the Revelation.

If you’re ready to travel now and Israel timing isn’t right for your group, the Footsteps of Paul tour is a meaningful way to continue your biblical journey today.

What Travelers Say

Real Journeys, Real Travelers

Every year, pastors, families, and church groups travel with us and come home changed.

Working with Immanuel Tours was one of the most impactful partnerships I’ve experienced as a travel advisor. In February 2026, I coordinated a church group of over 40 travelers through Israel and Jordan, and their team was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us with welcome gifts, snacks, and genuine warmth. When the war broke out, they were by our side, helping us manage the uncertainty and coordinating our departure from Israel into Jordan with trusted partners.

It truly matters who you partner with, and Immanuel Tours was outstanding. Our guide, Lior, became more than a guide; he was a guardian to us during those uncertain times. Alongside Lior, our driver, Mehor, and the wonderful Susan, Shiri, and Dan made us feel cared for every step of the way. At our farewell, they surprised us with special gifts, making the experience even more memorable.

If you’re looking for a partner in Israel who combines expertise, heart, and unwavering support, I cannot recommend Immanuel Tours highly enough.

Katie May Travels

Our family (my husband and I, our 3 children, and my parents) just returned from a tour with Immanuel. The experience defies description. Our daughters (ages 19, 16, and 12) were in tears the last day simply because we were leaving. The hospitality, sites visited, connection to the Holy Land, the passion expressed for the land of Israel, the food and lodging–everything went so far above our hopes and expectations. David–our driver–and Lior–our tour guide–had chemistry and a gift for making us feel connected to the land. Gabby paved the way for easy planning. Our experience was best summed up by my husband: Going to Israel felt like a journey home. Forever we’ll carry gratitude and love for the land of our forefathers and our Christ.

I can’t begin to thank you……..I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I know I already have a larger group of people for next year, but these ones that came are forever changed. They laughed, they cried (for joy) they were deeply moved and Matti and Abbott were spectacular. They won’t stop thanking me!!! They know you are the best!!!! I was just a ride along and encourager. Of course, they weren’t just holiday travelers, they knew their Bible and were sincerely making a pilgrimage. They just had no idea how wonderful it would be. Thanks so very much!!! I don’t know how to write Matti and Abbott to thank them, but please convey that for me.
