A Wonderful Tour to Israel & Jordan
Led by Ian & Ruth Coffey
Friday 2nd - Monday 12th September 2022
It's hard to put into words the experience of visiting the Holy Land! First timers and seasoned visitors agree, it's an opportunity not to be missed; truly a holiday of a lifetime.
In 2022 our itinerary takes us to Jordan as well as Israel as we visit key sites mentioned in the Bible.
In addition to the guided tours each day, we give space for personal reflection and times of fellowship as a group. Guests remark this is an added bonus they appreciate.
Whether you are a solo traveller or part of a group, we look forward to welcoming you.
