What is a Tour Package?
A tour package is a customized package that determines all aspects of your experience on a travel trip. There are several types of tour packages you can experience in Israel, each designed to meet your budget and travel needs.
Normally, a typical Israel tour operator takes care of the lodging and travel needs for a group of travelers, visiting a set of planned locations and supporting the trip with fun activities, while dealing with the usual travel issues of visas and air travel. However, a faith journey involves special considerations, and Israel is like no other place in the world.
Israel Tour Package Options
The first step is to determine which tour package makes sense for you. A group tour package is the traditional option for many people, both for the fellowship and for the convenience of being guided to various sites in the Holy Land by professional tour guides.
The best Israel tour companies will plan your tour to fit the unique needs of your tour group. Israel tour options can be broken down into these broad types:
Group tours are the most traditional. These are done in a large luxury bus, which travels from site to site in comfort. This type of tour is what most people think of when they think of a vacation tour. A typical guided tours Israel company will provide tours of this kind.
Bike tours are for more adventurous people. In addition to the traditional site visits, biking can enable travelers and pilgrims to enjoy marketplaces, restaurants, and places of natural beauty that exist in the Holy Land, such as the Dead Sea or the Judean hills.
Finally, there are hiking and walking tours. These can include kibbutz visits, treks through Israel’s beautiful valleys during the spring, and excursions through locations of biblical importance. Most Holy Land tour operators strive to provide these unique experiences that can only be found in the Holy Land.
