Welcome
We are so thrilled to welcome you to imagine Tours & Travel, where faith and adventure come together in unforgettable journeys. As the founders of this Christian group travel company, it is our deepest joy and privilege to invite you on a life-changing pilgrimage to the Holy Land—Israel.
There is nothing quite like walking where Jesus walked, praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, standing by the Sea of Galilee, or gazing upon the ancient stones of Jerusalem. These are not just historical sites; they are sacred spaces where Scripture comes alive and hearts are renewed.
Our mission is to create Christ-centered travel experiences that deepen your faith, strengthen your connection to God’s Word, and build lasting Christian fellowship. Every trip is carefully crafted with prayer, purpose, and passion. Whether it’s your first time in Israel or a return visit, we believe each journey offers something new—a deeper understanding, a clearer vision, a refreshed spirit.
We know traveling to the Holy Land is more than a vacation—it’s a spiritual investment. That’s why we handle every detail with excellence, care, and love, so you can focus fully on what matters most: encountering God in the land of His promises.
Come with us. Let your faith take flight and your Bible come to life.
With joy and anticipation,

Why ISRAEL?
Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus
There’s nothing like standing in the very places where Jesus walked. From Bethlehem, where He was born, to the Sea of Galilee, where He taught and performed miracles, to the Garden Tomb, where He rose—each site deepens your connection to His life and mission. Visiting these sacred places makes the Gospels come alive in a way that forever changes your faith journey.
See the Bible Come to Life
Reading the Bible is powerful, but seeing it unfold before your eyes is transformational. As you stand on the Mount of Beatitudes or overlook the Judean wilderness, the stories of Scripture take on new meaning. Geography, culture, and history all come together to enhance your understanding of God’s Word like never before.
Build Lasting Fellowship
A journey to the Holy Land is not only personal but deeply communal. Sharing this spiritual experience with other believers—worshiping on the Sea of Galilee, praying at the Western Wall, or taking communion in the Upper Room—builds strong, faith-filled friendships that often last a lifetime.
Connect with the Roots of Faith
Israel is the backdrop of both the Old and New Testaments. Exploring places like the City of David or ancient synagogues helps Christians understand the deep Jewish roots of their faith. This connection brings greater insight into God’s covenant, the prophets, and how Jesus fulfills them all.
Witness God’s Modern Miracles
Modern Israel is a testimony to God’s faithfulness. From the rebirth of the nation to the vibrant life of its people, you’ll witness prophecy being fulfilled in real time. Touring the land today reveals not just ancient ruins, but a living, thriving miracle that continues to inspire awe and strengthen faith.

At imagine Tours & Travel, our Israel programs are thoughtfully designed to offer believers a life-changing journey through the Holy Land. Each itinerary is rooted in Scripture and crafted to deepen your understanding of the Bible as you explore the very places where Jesus lived, taught, and performed miracles. From baptisms in the Jordan River to worship services at the Garden Tomb, our tours combine spiritual reflection with historical insight. Led by knowledgeable guides and supported by experienced tour leaders, our programs offer safe, enriching, and faithfilled experiences that bring the Bible to life and draw you closer to God.
Our STANDARD PROGRAM
10-DAY BIBLICAL TOUR OF ISRAEL
From the Mediterranean coast to the hills of Galilee, we walk in the footsteps of the Bible— exploring ancient Caesarea, standing on Mt. Carmel, and visiting Nazareth and Cana. In Galilee, we experience the serenity of the Sea where Jesus walked, reflect on the Beatitudes, sail in a replica “Jesus Boat,” and dip our feet in the Jordan River. Heading north, we take in the stunning views of the Golan Heights, hike through Tel Dan, and visit the powerful site of Caesarea Philippi. As we arrive in Jerusalem, the spiritual heart of the Holy Land, we trace
Jesus’ steps down the Mt. of Olives, pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, and walk the Via Dolorosa. We also explore Bethlehem, Masada, and the Dead Sea—with time to float and relax. Along the way, we visit fascinating sites like Qumran, the Shrine of the Book, Hezekiah’s Tunnel, and the Garden Tomb. Before heading home, we enjoy a special farewell dinner in Jaffa, bringing this meaningful experience to a close—returning with full hearts, lasting memories, and a deeper connection to our faith.

What About THE FOOD?
Israeli cuisine is a vibrant blend of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors, offering a delicious variety of dishes that reflect the country’s diverse cultural heritage. One standout is St. Peter’s fish, a fresh, flaky tilapia traditionally served grilled with lemon and herbs, often enjoyed by the Sea of Galilee. Kebab is another beloved staple—juicy, spiced ground meat grilled on skewers and typically served with warm pita, fresh vegetables, and tahini. No Israeli meal is
complete without hummus, the creamy, garlicky chickpea spread that’s perfect for dipping or as a base for toppings like olive oil, paprika, and pine nuts. Together, these dishes showcase the bold, wholesome, and comforting flavors that make Israeli food unforgettable. Whether enjoyed at a bustling market stall or a seaside restaurant, each bite offers a taste of the country’s rich history and culinary tradition.
