Forty years of bringing the Bible to life.
We have been guiding Christian groups through the Holy Land since before most travel companies had a website.
Our story
For over four decades, we have been dedicated to providing unique and meaningful guided tours of Israel for Christian groups, churches, and ministries. What started as a passion for sharing the Land of the Bible has grown into one of the most experienced Holy Land travel operations serving the North American church.
Our team of experienced guides and local experts — based in both Boca Raton, Florida and Tel Aviv, Israel — walk groups through the country's rich history, culture, and sacred sites, offering a depth of understanding that no guidebook can replicate. We have spent decades building relationships with the best guides, hotels, and local partners across the country, so that every group we bring receives an experience that is both seamless and spiritually profound.
We believe travel is about more than seeing new places. It is about making meaningful connections — with Scripture, with history, and with each other. Standing where Jesus stood, walking where the disciples walked, and seeing the landscapes of the Old and New Testament in person changes people. We have watched it happen thousands of times over 40 years, and it never gets old.
Today, we have combined four decades of on-the-ground operational expertise with modern technology — building the platform and tools that pastors and trip organizers have always needed but never had. The mission is the same as it has always been. The tools are finally worthy of it.
What we offer
Every group is different. We build around that.
Group tours
Pastor-led departures with a set itinerary, fixed pricing, and a community of fellow travelers. The most accessible way to experience Israel for the first time.
Private & custom trips
A fully tailored itinerary built around your church's specific interests, spiritual themes, and schedule — from 10 travelers to 200.
Iconic sites & hidden gems
The Western Wall, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, Masada, Bethlehem, Galilee, Nazareth — and the lesser-known places that make a trip unforgettable.
What we believe
These aren't marketing bullet points. They're the decisions we make every day.
Pilgrimage, not tourism
We are not a tourist company that occasionally serves churches. Every itinerary, every guide, every site visit is chosen with spiritual depth in mind. The goal is transformation, not sightseeing.
Operational clarity
Every pastor deserves to know exactly what is happening with their trip at all times. No surprises, no vague estimates, no missing information. We believe clarity is a form of respect.
Honest pricing
We publish our pricing clearly and explain every fee. No hidden charges, no commissions that influence our recommendations. What you see is what you pay.
Long-term relationships
Most of our groups travel with us more than once. We invest in relationships, not transactions — with churches, with guides, with hotels. That continuity is what makes every trip better than the last.
The team behind the platform
People who have done this work themselves.
Jonathan founded Christian Israel Tours with a vision to make Holy Land pilgrimage accessible to churches of every size. Based in Tel Aviv, he brings over 40 years of boots-on-the-ground experience in Israel travel, deep relationships across the country, and a genuine passion for helping Christians encounter the land of Scripture.
Eyal oversees all trip operations from the US side — coordinating departures, managing relationships with churches and pastors, and making sure every group arrives prepared and every detail is accounted for. Based in Boca Raton, he is the person pastors call when they need answers.
Dana ensures that every traveler — from the moment they register to the moment they land back home — feels supported, informed, and cared for. She manages the traveler portal, document collection, and the communications that keep groups running smoothly.
