Although we were saddened by the conflict in Israel that saw our tour canceled, American Israel Tours did not disappoint. Instead, we opted for their tour to Athens, Greece and the Greek Islands cruise.
Regan, our tour organizer surpassed all our expectations as we enjoyed a deeply fulfilling trip following the ministry of the Apostle Paul’s missions throughout Greece and Ephesus/Turkey. AIT delivered a seamless package from the choice of hotels, to the airport transfers, the internal taxis from city to port, the on land excursions, the local guides and personnel at the AIT Greece office.
Greece itself with its rich and glorious history, academia, art, philosophy, architecture, beautifully preserved ruins was indeed “food” for the most jaded soul!! Yes, “an unexamined life is not worth living”.

We just returned from an incredible trip to Greece with a side trip to Turkey. Grace Pointe Church family and friends loved Athens, Corinth, Thessaloniki, Berea, Philippi, and other Bible cities in upper Greece. Favorite of course was the 3 day Greek islands cruise aboard Celestial Discovery – Santorini, Mykonos, Patmos, Ephesus, and Crete! What breathtaking views and excursions! Fabulous Greek food, Greek restaurants and hotels, too! We want to make special mention of our tour guide Eric who blessed us in so many ways! Can’t wait for Israel 2025 with America Israel Tours next May! 

Walking in the path of Jesus 

The Roots of Faith Tour was spectacular! Lital, our tour guide, was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable on information pertaining to the history and sites we visited. Our group was small enough to get to know all fellow travelers which made the tour most enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour. 

Where do I start… From the airport pickup to last drop off at the end everything was perfect. It was so nice not to have worry about if our driver was gonna be there. They were so punctual and very polite. The hotels were top notch and the staff was welcoming. Our tour guide Lital was fantastic! She kept a group of 43 all together by herself and that’s not easy. She was entertaining and she completed the whole itinerary. We definitely will use AIT again on our next trip thank you! Oh and booking agent was awesome and always answered our questions. She never made us feel like there was a dumb question to be asked

Amazing trip of a lifetime! 

We did the Egypt/Jordan/Israel tour. All the places visited were simply amazing. The climb to Mount Sinai is one of the most challenging to do in the trip and we felt safe throughout the whole tour especially around Jerusalem. I would definitely recommend doing this tour 

Our Gide was very knowledgeable, answer all of our question, the Bible reading at every station was like if I was living it at the moment it happened.

Met Expectations and More

WONDERFUL week in Israel! This was my first time in Isreal and to the Holy Land for 7 full days touring. The tour guide was Barak. He was EXCELLENT! The driver was Bennie. He was very friendly and knowledgeable too, sharing info about life in Jerusalem. 
Barak exceeded my expectations by far. He shared his VAST KNOWLEDGE of biblical history and gave great detail from the Christian perspective mainly, but also enlightened us on the Jewish and Muslim influence and position in Israel. 
We all felt SAFE as Barak guided us through sometimes very crowded spaces, remained patient, and timed our stops in a way that made sure we were not caught with the crowd and could enjoy the spots to the max and not be overwhelmed. 
He educated us about Israel as a country, the political challenges and how the average citizens are affected by the political landscape. This was bonus information! 
AIT did a great job at the back end (pre travel ) and organizing the tour- we had great hotel experiences. 
Overall, I recommend AIT and I hope you get to have Barak Berkovich as your guide and Bennie as your driver! 

Wonderful Experience, 3 countries in 2 weeks! 

I have to admit that I was a skeptic when it came to going on a tour with +40 people I didn’t know. But I’m so glad that we went. I’m sure our tour was covered in prayer – before and during the tour. About 3 days in we were no longer strangers but were becoming friends – laughing with each other and singing together (in the bus and on the Sea of Galilee) and supporting each other. Now we are friends on FB 🙂. There is a lot of walking on the tour, that is the only way to see everything in the allotted time and some things you’ll wish you had more time on and some things you’ll wish you had less time on – be sure to listen to the guides! – take notes regularly and lots of pictures. All of the guides are very professional – we had Osama in Egypt, Jay in Jordan, and Lital in Israel. In Jordan and Israel, Jay and Lital read or had someone read the bible verses that went with the sites we visited. Lital was especially great about asking what we thought about what the Bible said at each site and listened intently – it was great getting the different points of view. She was extremely knowledgeable about the sites and pointed out why a certain site was associated with the Bible, who made the claim and made know other views about the site to let us come to our own conclusions. Lital was cognizant of my wife’s knee injury (injured before the trip) and was compassionate with her helping her get a taxi back to the hotel when the knee gave out during one of the days and other days allowing her to skip one of the sites to rest the knee. That all being said, Lital was a jewel. And all of the bus drivers were skilled “craftsman” and very nice and courteous. A lady named Naomi came and stayed with the tour as we went through customs from Egypt to Israel to Jordan and stayed until we made it into the Israel leg of the tour – she was very nice and knowledgeable and professional and helped so much with the customs part. I highly recommend America Israel tours to anyone wanting to visit the Holy Land area – especially the Into the Promised Land tour.

God Bless Israel and Peace for Jerusalem. 🕊️🙏🏻 

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.“ 
1 Corinthians 15:57 
We thank Barak for doing such an excellent job showing our family the history of Israel. Thank you for being so attentive and caring. The Bible shows the true living God and now we have more understanding of the Bible. We enjoyed this trip so much. We felt so happy and blessed to see our son Jeremiah read the Bible with Barak😊 God bless the whole group, it was an amazing experience with everyone! We also thank you driver Benny for also being very attentive. 

The Roots of Your Faith Tour covered a large amount of activities in a short period of time. 

The Roots of Your Faith tour was amazing. Tour guide – Barak and bus driver – Benny were professional and friendly. They developed and encouraged a sense of community and safety among our group. They continually reassured our group we were safe. The agenda was full and intense. The hotel accommodations and meals were excellent. Barak provided cultural perspectives from the Christian, Jewish and Muslim points of view. This gave me more clarity and Biblical insight. The wealth of information shared, on this tour, will continue to unfold in my pastoral role. As we walked where Jesus walked and opened the Scriptures my faith has increased. Thank you AIT for a very good trip.

This is the third trip I have taken… 

This is the third trip I have taken that was booked through America Israel Tours and I have nothing but positive experiences. The tours have been phenomenal, the tour guides were exceptional, and the places we stayed were wonderful. They seem to think of everything and no stone is left unturned. I highly recommend America Israel Tours and plan to travel with them again in the future. 

 Outstanding tour guide Yoram and driver Eli. Hotels were really good and large variety of food. The spots we visited for the Roots tour really were special and impactful. James & Elizabeth – San Diego 

Lital was an amazing tour guide 

Lital was an amazing tour guide. I loved it. My Dad thought it was awesome! Lital explained the Biblical and Israel history of the different sites. We had time for pictures and discussions of the historical sites. We enjoyed local food that was delicious. Lital made sure that the group was together at all times. We felt safe and comfortable. 

It took me a long time to finally be able to make the trip to Israel. I knew that the experience would be life changing, and it was, but one of the highlights of my trip, was our tour guide, Barak Berkovich. The more he talked, the more he reflected his love for God and country. He really helped me understand the values of Jewish faith. He spoke with passion and conviction. Deep conviction to live what he believes. In many instances as he talked, I was convicted of how complacent us Americans are when it comes to reverencing the things of God. I imagine all tour guides do a good job at showing people the historical sites of the Bible, but I think one would be hard pressed to find a guide as passionate and dedicated as Barak. I’m grate full to have had the opportunity to learn from him and experience Israel through his eyes. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! Worthy of a 5  

So much covered in so little time. Bruce was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. We heard other guides (other companies) making up history as they went. Bruce was informed and honest.
