Update: 38 participants are now confirmed and ticketed. Since the final payment is due on March 26th, we do not anticipate any additional pilgrims to join us on this tour, but it is not closed in that regard. If you are interested in coming, please let us know right away; we can accommodate more participants, but you must act quickly! You will need to make airline reservations immediately, since they become more expensive with each passing day.
At this time, we are planning to go to Israel again next year (2011) at about the same time—April or May. If you are interested in joining us next year, use the form below to get on the list to be the first to receive information about this trip when it becomes available. (Everyone who requested information about this year’s tour will automatically get information about the 2011 tour.)
This tour will be limited to one bus, which can accommodate up to 45 people. The cost per person is $2,955. This price includes airfare from New York to Tel Aviv and return, accommodations, breakfast and dinner each day, the sightseeing tour with our licensed guide, Ariel Winkler, and all entrance fees to sights and parks covered in this itinerary.
Prices are based on double occupancy; if you are coming alone, you will be assigned a roommate of the same gender unless you specify that you would like a single room and pay an additional $530. A deposit of $400 is required per person to secure your place on the tour. If you wish to make your own travel arrangements, you need only pay the land-only price of $1,895. The balance of your payment is required at least 45 days prior to the departure date. (Full refunds for participant-initiated cancellations will be given up to 45 days before departure.)

After the participants of the 2008 Discovering Israel Tour and 35th International Prophecy Congress returned home, we sent a questionnaire to see if there was anything we could do to make this tour an even better experience. We were pleasantly deluged by praise:
The first step to making this once-in-a-lifetime dream come true is to contact us and ask for more information!
