Israel is the land of the Bible and home to most of biblical history. From the streets of Jerusalem to the Sea of Galilee, there’s a rich history behind each building and site. Most important is God’s story for this land. After experiencing a Holy Land Tour with the Wildmon Group, there will be much more appreciation for God’s plan for the Jewish people, the nation of Israel, and Christian believers today.

Are you looking for a tour that will help you capture the deep and rich history of Israel, otherwise known as the Holy Land? American Family Association Founder Don Wildmon started leading tours to Israel in the late 1960s, and he taught his son Tim Wildmon how to lead groups. Today, AFA President Tim Wildmon and his wife, Alison, along with their sons, Wesley and Walker, lead an annual tour to Israel with fellow Christian believers. The Wildmons have been going annually for over three decades.
The Wildmons love taking Christians to see the land of the Bible. You will see the places where Jesus walked and taught, as well as places you read about in the Old Testament, such as Jerusalem and Jericho. You will visit fascinating and inspirational places every day. You will also eat well, have a lot of fun, and enjoy sharing the experience with fellow believers from across the United States.

Q. Do I need a passport?
A. Yes. Absolutely. You cannot leave the country without a passport.
Q. What about safety?
A. When considering a trip to the Holy Land, the question of safety always comes up, particularly among friends and family of the person(s) wanting to go. I always tell people that the most dangerous part of the trip to Israel will be your time spent in New York! Seriously, every time something happens in Israel, it makes international news. Can you imagine if every time a violent crime was committed in Atlanta, Georgia, or Dallas, Texas, that it also made international news? No one would ever want to visit those cities if we applied the same logic as some Americans do to visiting the Holy Land.
Q. Will we have an opportunity to be baptized in the Jordan River?
A. Yes. Those who want to be baptized can be. Others can watch, as well as join us in song and prayer.
Q. What about attire?
A. Casual attire, such as jeans or athletic pants, and comfortable walking shoes are the best. Also, you will need to bring your bathing suit as we will have an opportunity to swim in the Dead Sea, which is a very unique experience.
Q. How much walking will there be?
A. A moderate amount of walking will take place, but we break it up into manageable portions throughout the day.
Q. What about weather?
A. Normal mid-March temperatures are in the low-70s during the day and mid-50s in the evening.
Q. How much is the non-refundable deposit?
A. $500 a person.
Q. Where do we fly out of from the United States?
A. We all gather at a designated New York airport three hours before our flight to Israel leaves the country. Everyone makes their own travel arrangements to New York.
Q. How will we travel in Israel?
A. We will travel on a very comfortable motorcoach. We will also have a personal bus driver assigned to us for the entire trip as well as a professional tour guide who is an Israeli citizen and a Christian.
Q. How many people will be with us on the tour?
A. We typically have between 100 and 150 individuals join the tour. However, we divide everyone into groups of 40 to 50. Each group has its own bus and tour guide, and everyone has his or her own earpiece that allows the guide to speak directly to you in a normal voice. So, it feels like you are touring with a group of only 40 to 50 people. In addition, Tim, his wife Alison, and their sons, Wesley and Walker, will be your hosts.
Q. What hotels will the group stay in?
A. We usually stay at the Grand Court Hotel in Jerusalem and the Caesar Premier Hotel in Tiberius, although this is subject to change.
Q. What if I want to purchase my own flight to Israel?
A. If you want to purchase your own airfare, which allows you to choose your seat, the cost of the tour is $3,695. We use both EL AL Airlines and Delta Airlines direct from New York to Tel Aviv. We will email you the exact flight numbers upon request or after you register for the tour.
