I was so impressed with how well organized the tour was. It was particularly helpful that all the entrance fees and other miscellaneous expenses for entry to various sites were included in our tour price. We never had to waste time looking for the proper change for admittance - Linda and our guide took care of all that for us.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about both the historical places we visited as well as the current political climate. Our driver was amazing - he was able to get us in and out of tight spots. After watching his expertise, I can't imagine trying to ever drive myself around the Holy Land!
My thanks to Linda and Alpha 2 Omega Travel for ensuring that our trip was smooth and memorable. - Rev. Paul A. Nelson, Emanuel Lutheran Church, Santa Barbara

Having traveled to many lands and experienced many cultures, different thinking and beliefs of people, this tour was outstanding. We were able to see and experience the Holy Land in a way that exceeded our expectations. To be able to visit and walk on the locations where Jesus walked and taught was exhilarating. The visit to Jerusalem, the Western Wall, Temple Mount, Via Dolorosa, Mount of Olives, just to name a few, was fabulous. We also enjoyed the very informative presentation at the Augusta Victoria Church and Hospital. This was a very enlightening presentation. The visit to Jericho, Qumran, and the visit to Masada was educational; to have something read about come to life is a dream come true. Floating in the Dead Sea was also a wonderful experience. The many places we saw while staying at Tiberias were equally as impressive, enlightening, and heart moving. The boat ride on the Sea of Galilee was enjoyable and inspiring. The Primacy of Peter, Mount of Beatitudes, Caesarea Philippi, Nazareth and Cana - the site of the first miracle, all awe inspiring. It was wonderful to also visit with a very good friend of mine that resides in Tel Aviv, as we had a wonderful visit during out farewell dinner in Jaffa. It was great to arrange for this personal visit with a friend that I have dealt with in business prior to my retirement.
The trip was wonderful and we never had any concerns regarding comfort or safety. Furthermore, we must state that the guide you arranged to be with us during this tour, Jarir Rabadi, was excellent, very knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful especially with the seniors who required additional assistance to get around. We cannot speak more highly of him since we know of no equal to his expertise, professionalism and kindness. The driver was equally as great in maneuvering the tour bus through some tight locations in the most professional manner with unequaled expertise. Thank you for having made this a VERY MEMORABLE and UNFORGETTABLE trip. - Mike and Nina Suess, CA

Our group enjoyed the visit to so many of the important sites of Jesus Christ's life and ministry. Linda, Jarir, our Christian guide, and Rami, our driver, were all so knowledgeable, kind and helpful. They were especially helpful to a member of our group with difficult mobility, who required a walker and wheel chair at times. We experienced not one minute of security issues during the whole interesting and life enhancing time! I absolutely recommend Alpha 2 Omega Travel for pastors and lay people who wish to plan a personal and custom style tour, and I would surely like to go again. - Pastor Lee B. Rozen, Lutheran Church of the Master, La Habra, CA

Walk where Jesus lived and see the land chosen by God for His people. Watch the Bible come alive from the past and see how prophecy will be fulfilled in the future. Come to Israel with Alpha 2 Omega Travel. I've been to this great land a number of times and can say from experience that your travel plans and safety will be in the experienced staff members, who anticipate and plan for a great trip filled with wonderful memories to the Holy land. I highly recommend Alpha 2 Omega Travel to all who are looking to experience God's land and God's people. - Pr. Bill Burnett, New Life Chapel, Hesperia, CA

When we told people that we were going, of course, we were asked if we were worried about our safety, due to the tensions in the area. Those concerns were unfounded, and we felt safe everywhere we went, even at the various checkpoints our bus encountered on our tours.
Coming from our steel and concrete country to one hewn from stone was a shock to our feet (wear sturdy, comfortable shoes!), but it reminded us that we were walking where ancient cultures lived, worked, and worshiped. Passing the sign as we neared Jericho that said “Oldest city in the world, 10,000 years” was an indescribable moment. We live in a newcomer nation that is only 237 years old. There, we had a Christian guide, whose family had been there before Christ and had passed down through oral tradition the veracity of the location of Jesus’ tomb, from ancestors who were there.
We’re still reflecting on this amazing trip and getting our memories and photos together, so our thoughts are not as well formed as we’d like them to be. But our advice to anyone going there for the first time is to be prepared to be overwhelmed, and expect to come back with a new perspective. This place will live in your heart. - Thank you, Linda, Dennis & Judy Morris

So many new things I learned since I was there 20 years ago. Had the best guide and bus driver! Plus, Linda’s presence guaranteed the little things were covered. New insights emerged as we visited and ate with Palestinian Christians. I have already planted seeds with folks who have not yet made it to The Holy Land. Put it high on your bucket list. You will indeed be blessed, no matter how old you are. And we felt safe wherever we walked, drove, ate, or stayed. From the Temple Mount to the Western Wall; from the Dead Sea to the Sea of Galilee; from the archeological digs across Israel, you will be blessed! The right tour adviser does make the difference; so I highly recommend Alpha 2 Omega Travel. - Pastor Howell Foster, CA
