It was an incredible week that we just can’t stop talking about. No one site stands out since we saw about 4 or 5 new sites every day all across Israel and they were all fascinating. What made them interesting beyond our expectations was the expertise of our tour guide, Jarir Rabadi. As a fellow Christian, he was very well versed on the significance of all of the sites and went well beyond that by explaining the challenges of everyday life in different parts of Israel. Add to that a Christian bus driver Imad, who skillfully wove our bus through incredibly tight spots. For those of you concerned with security, we did see armed forces in many locations. But what we saw far more of were fellow religious tourists from many different nations. We experienced other groups praying, reading the word and singing hymns out loud in different languages. When was the last time you were uplifted like that in the USA? If Israel is on your bucket list, pray no longer, this is the right group to bless your pilgrimage. Easter will not be the same as we can now completely visualize the grand entrance and ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for us in Jerusalem. - Dave Schaller, Concordia Lutheran Church, Fort Wayne

I enjoyed very much the places we visited, the people in our group, and of course, the food. The hotel buffets were great, Middle Eastern cuisine is fabulous, those people really know what good and healthy food is all about. The waiters were courteous and friendly.
The trip was well planned and organized. Jarir was a great guide, very knowledgeable and well educated. The Sea of Galilea and surrounding areas, the view from Mount Carmel of the Valley of Meggido, wow, what a spectacular sight, very impressive and spiritual.
Our bus driver was amazing, this guy knows how to drive. I would never drive in Jerusalem, that city was designed for walking, not driving.
All in all, it was a wonderful trip. Thank you, Linda and Thank you, Tracy - Jorge

Reading it has become an act of rediscovery, as the places I saw in Israel give me new insights and understanding. I have better context for my devotions, and greater appreciation for what Christ went through as He walked and taught in the land. The tours could not have been better, and they were so well organized. I recommend this trip to anyone who has ever had a desire in their hearts to go to the Holy Land. - Regards, Tim

This was our first experience with Alpha 2 Omega Travel. This was my second trip and my husband’s fourth trip. Both of us learned and experienced things we had not on the other trips.
Our guide to the Holy Land was absolutely amazing. His background and knowledge of history and understanding of the different cultures was so enlightening and educational. He was enjoyable and very caring for the group’s well- being and always available to answer questions.
I was concerned about traveling with a larger group as my trip before was with a private guide with five other people. I can tell you that this trip surpassed my own personal expectations. We had a wonderful bus and driver. Our schedule was delightful with every day filled with wonder and insight.
Linda's experiences in Israel have helped shape her understanding as to what is truly important, inspirational and engaging to anyone visiting Israel.
We would highly recommend Alpha Omega Travel and are already planning a tour for next year. Our group came back so fired up they have made others want to experience Israel as well. - Pr. Carol Danna, Cornerstone Church, Anaheim, CA

I'm a pastor who has made multiple trips to Israel with many different groups. Lately, I've been working with Linda Miller and Alpha 2 Omega Travel. Because of the great service that has been given to me and my people - we use Alpha 2 Omega Travel exclusively. Linda Miller and her team are very sensitive to our needs and that of my people. I have another Israel trip scheduled for November 10 - 20, 2015, and will be having them arrange this trip and make all the travel arrangements for the people going with us. Going to Israel has changed my life and I look forward to going multiple times more in the future. My knowledge of the land is increasingly making my communication of the Word more effective. If you've never traveled to the Holy Land - may I recommend that you would make an effort to do so soon. You will be glad you did.
I'm often asked about traveling to a land filled with so much conflict. People want to know if they will be safe. The answer comes in a couple of ways. First, in all the years going to Israel, there has always been some sort of conflict going on. Secondly, we don't go near those areas - ever. Our guides are very wise into the places that they take us and your safety is of upmost concern. Recently, there was a Palestinian/Israeli conflict in one of the synagogues while we were there. We hardly heard anything about it. However, in the United States - it was front page news. Often, those in other countries look at what is going on in the United States and they see the violence and think that it is unsafe to come to the United States. Israel is a country with around 9 million people - most of whom want to live in peace. Violence happens and they do what you and I do... get up, get dressed and go to work. You can live your life in fear or you can live your life in faith. May I encourage you to do the latter and come to the place where the history of the world past, present, and future has and will take place - Come to Israel! - Pastor Bill Burnett, New Life Chapel, Hesperia, CA

For more than two decades, my professors, my fellow pastors, and many of my parishioners have told me about their Holy Land experiences. Generally, they always seem to say something to the effect, “The Bible comes alive as you experience the Holy Land.” Well, in the month of November, I got to witness the land of our Lord first-hand with folks from my church. For me, the sights and sounds of Israel brought the Scriptures to life in a fresh, bold, and exciting way. To walk where Jesus walked isn’t just a fanciful marketing ploy. You literally walk where He walked! Whether it is seeing what is likely to be Golgotha’s mountains in the vicinity of the Garden Tomb or the being moved to tears while walking around the Garden of Gethsemane; sailing on the shores of Galilee or walking to the church of the Nativity, you experience your faith in a whole new way. Linda Miller and Alpha 2 Omega Travel did a wonderful job planning, guiding, and encouraging us before, during, and after our trip. The next time I go with my church, I will be sure to plan my trip with them. For many years, I thought about going to the Holy Land. Don’t just think about going, sign-up and prepare your heart and your mind, and your life to be changed forever. - Pr. Arthur Andrews, Hephatha Lutheran Church, Anaheim, CA
