What to Expect

Do you miss the land of Israel? Do you find that you have a longing to return? Are you looking for a way to encourage and show your support? This unique tour allows you to "Stand with Israel" by joining Ronen Ben Moshe and Rich Ferreira as we travel the biblical land we love. Together, we will visit sites dear to our hearts from past trips and new sites that explore the Bible even more.

This study tour combines the best of GTI's sought-after Israel tours with the addition of many sites and experiences that are not typically included. Sail the Sea of Galilee, walk the ancient roads of Jerusalem, and experience Shabbat dinner with an Israeli family. Whether you are young or old, new to your faith, or a seasoned scholar, this trip will enhance your understanding of the Bible while standing with our friends in Israel. There is no better way to support them than to return and walk the Land!

    Why GTI Tours?

    All Inclusive

    More than simply a statement about pricing, “All Inclusive” describes GTI’s holistic approach to facilitating purposeful travel and experiential learning in cooperation with our Ministry Partners.

    Biblically Focused

    Your tour leader, study materials, and even itinerary are biblically focused, creating a journey that will draw you more deeply into God’s Word with each step you take.

    Experiential Itinerary

    Each stop on your itinerary is selected because it provides an experience than brings meaning and emotional significance to the information you will be learning.

    All Expenses Covered

    There’s no need to worry about wasting time and money haggling or being surprised by hidden costs. Except for souvenirs and optional upgrades, every part of your trip is covered.

    Online Registration

    Our secure online payment and registration system allows for payment plans and reminders, easy passport and document uploads, and confidence that your money and information is safe.

    Online Tour Journal

    Friends and family can receive daily updates of text, photos, audio, and video from you and other participants to keep up with where you are and what you’re learning via the GTI Online Tour Journal.

    Backpacks and Gear

    We take care of everything so you can stay focused during your Study Tour, including providing you with a hydration backpack, study guide, plug adapter, and even a flashlight (when the trip calls for it).

    Local Guides & Drivers

    We have spent years developing relationships with experienced guides and drivers because they are an integral part of a study tour. And if you already have a trusted guide/driver you prefer that’s ok too!
