Let Fellowship Travel bring the Bible to life in ways you never imagined as you & your group explore the lands where the foundation of Christianity was laid. Since all of our tours are completely custom, you have the chance to create a trip that is not just spiritually-fulfilling, but completely unique. Choose to incorporate a wide variety of hands-on volunteer, cultural, & culinary experiences. You can even participate in an archeological dig at a Biblical site!
Our Tour team uses their personal experiences traveling throughout the Bible lands to design once-in-a-lifetime tours for each group.
Partner with your tour coordinator to create a spiritually-rewarding itinerary designed to meet your group's goals & budget.
We have chosen an elite group of guides, the best in the business. And, we'll match you with the one that's just right for your group.
We have a variety of sample itineraries & additional day tour options in the tour finder of our website that will serve as a great framework to get your planning started. You can also add additional stops to expand your experience. For instance, you may want to visit some of the other meaningful sites from the New Testament or the Old Testament+ (see below).
Traveling through Israel is a life-changing experience, unlike any other destination. It's more than archeology, history, & beautiful scenery. Here, Christians can fulfill their life-long dreams to walk in the steps of Jesus – sailing on a fishing boat in the Sea of Galilee, standing on the very steps where Jesus preached at the Temple, & entering Jerusalem like the pilgrims did in Jesus' time.
In addition to the traditional sites, groups can also incorporate a variety of interactive components to make your trip the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime experience. Among your options to personalize your time in Israel are:
Shuk & Cook in Jerusalem: Your culinary experience will include both cooking & tasting, & is a great way to experience the variety & vibrancy of Israeli culture.
Food for the Hungry: Volunteer with a local food distribution project in Jerusalem by assembling food packages for less fortunate families.
Archeological Dig on the Temple Mount: Sift through actual remains from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, in search of fascinating artifacts from the Second Temple Period.
Masada Opera Festival: Enjoy a classic opera & amazing pyrotechnics in an epic setting - the ancient Masada fortress.
Makhtesh Ramon Crater Adventure: Enjoy awe-inspiring views of the crater. Exciting activities include 4x4 vehicle tours & rappelling.
You may be familiar with the important role Turkey, Greece & Italy have played in history, but now discover first-hand the lands where the earliest pages of Christianity were written. Take a trip back in time & explore the sites where the gentiles first heard the Good News.
Retrace the footsteps of Paul – through Athens, Philippi, Pergamon, Ephesus, Corinth & Rome – where he spread the word of his own vision of the risen Christ. You will follow Paul along his divine journey, just as it's described in the books of Acts through Revelations.
This pilgrimage will take you on a journey across Turkey to see the Seven Churches of Asia to whom John addressed his letter of prophetic visions. Travel on to Patmos Island, Greece to witness the cave where John the Evangelist actually wrote the Book of Revelation. Then, enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean in Athens, Plaka, Corinth & Rhodes, as you walk where the apostles themselves fulfilled the Christian mission. Your pilgrimage can even lead you back to Israel, where Jesus began his ministry.
Marvel at God's creation as you travel through the Bible lands from the comfort of a cruise ship. On the ship, you'll enjoy Christian music, lectures & entertainment. While on shore, participate in inspirational excursions to ancient sites across Europe.
For many, discussions of the Bible lands typically evoke images of Israel & its prominent religious landmarks. Yet, its neighbors, Jordan & Egypt, are also steeped in rich Christian history. Tours to these areas can be combined with Holy Land or Footsteps pilgrimages or stand on their own for a more in-depth study.
This area echoes with the stories of Lot, Moses, John the Baptist, Paul & Jesus (& many others). Pilgrims can bring these stories to life by visiting the temple at Pella – the ancient site of Penuel, named by Jacob in Genesis; climbing Mt. Nebo, as Moses did; & exploring the cave where Lot found refuge with his daughters. Along the banks of the Jordan River, witness - or choose to be baptized - where John baptized Jesus. Then, explore the wilderness of Bethany where Jesus faced temptation for 40-days & the site of the fortified palace in Machaerus where John the Baptist was imprisoned & martyred.
Egypt is one of the most frequently mentioned places in the Bible, found in references from Genesis through the Gospels. Here, you can marvel at the Pyramids that stood during the times of Abraham, Moses & the Holy Family's escape from Herod. Travel to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula to touch the plant said to be descended from the Burning Bush. While there, view, or even scale, Mt. Sinai - where Moses received the Ten Commandments. From the top, you can also take in the beauty of the Red Sea.
