HOLY LAND TOUR - Collection

HOLY LAND TOUR

Experience the Holy Land Beyond the Typical Tour Many Holy Land journeys are described as “walking where Jesus walked.” While visiting these sacred places is deeply meaningful, I believe the experience can be much deeper than simply visiting sites. As someone born and raised in Bethlehem, the Holy Land is not just a destination for me—it is home. These hills, villages, markets, and communities are part of my own story. Because of that, my passion is not simply to bring travelers here to see the places of the Bible, but to help them truly experience the land and the people who live here today. Yes, we will visit the places that have inspired pilgrims for centuries—the Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem. We will stand on the Mount of Beatitudes, sail across the Sea of Galilee, and walk through the ancient streets of Jerusalem. But with Elias Tours, the journey goes beyond the sites. We believe that to understand the Holy Land, you must also experience its living culture. Along the way, travelers will meet local communities, connect with the living Christian communities of the Holy Land, share meals together, explore vibrant markets, and enjoy the rich flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine that reflect centuries of tradition. These personal encounters often become the most meaningful moments of the journey—moments that bring the land, the history, and the faith of this region to life. Our journeys are designed to be immersive, personal, and authentic, blending biblical history, cultural experiences, local hospitality, and time for reflection and fellowship. With Elias Tours, you will not simply visit the Holy Land—you will experience it in a deeper and more meaningful way. Contact Us Today for a Quote and Program!

Journeys of Paul & The Greek Islands - Collection

Journeys of Paul & The Greek Islands

Walk in the Footsteps of the Apostle Paul Imagine standing on the very stones where the Apostle Paul once preached, walking through ancient cities where the first Christian communities were born, and sailing across the same blue waters of the Aegean Sea that carried the message of the Gospel across the ancient world. Our Footsteps of Paul journey through Greece invites you to step beyond the pages of Scripture and experience the places where the early Church took root. From the vibrant streets of Thessaloniki to the ancient ruins of Philippi, from Mars Hill in Athens to the historic city of Corinth, the stories of the New Testament come alive as we explore the land where Paul lived, taught, and shared the message of Christ. Along the way, you will also experience the beauty of Greek life—sharing meals in traditional tavernas, tasting authentic Mediterranean cuisine, meeting local people, and enjoying the breathtaking landscapes of the Greek islands. Whether watching the sunset over the Aegean Sea or reflecting at the sacred Cave of the Apocalypse on Patmos, every moment of this journey is designed to connect faith, history, culture, and community. This is more than a tour—it is a pilgrimage, an immersive journey through Scripture, history, and the vibrant culture of Greece.

*The trip is currently full, but we have a waiting list! Send an email to: info@eliastours.com  Reading biblical stories that relate to Egypt while looking at the pyramids or praying a psalm about the wilderness while looking off into the desert are powerful experiences. Egypt’s presence is always in the background of Scripture as THE empire, the embodiment of an economic system named after its signature site, against which the prophets thundered, a place of enslaved peoples making bricks with no straw; but also a place of surprising refuge, welcome, abundant hospitality, where leaders could be moved by love, forgiveness and humility, a context for birthing risky courage, and a liberation narrative that has changed the world. “Out of Egypt” God has called us all. My invitation is to join the sojourn “into” Egypt. Along with its ancient witness, its current hospitality, beauty, and rich culture is truly awesome. Traveling with church friends, sharing this experience, and learning more about God’s presence everywhere in history will be a transforming experience. And with me, a lot of fun!    DETAILS: Trip departs on February 5, 2026 and returns on February 15, 2026 PRICING: $3,290.00 per person based on double occupancy - land-only cost Single room supplement - $790.00 Flights booked by Elias Tours: $1,465.00 per person PAYMENT PLAN:  $300.00 deposit per person with registration to secure space Balance due on or before October 8, 2025 REGISTRATION: Registering online? Click the "BOOK NOW" button and fill out the online form; you can pay by check or with a credit card (a nonrefundable 4% platform fee applies) Registering by mail? Please download and complete the registration form (both the personal information page and the terms and conditions page signed at the bottom) with a copy of your passport and a deposit of $300.00 per person made payable to Elias Tours and mailed to 4941 Chalden Ln NE, Marietta, GA 30066   FLIGHT SCHEDULE: UA3521 05FEB MSP - EWR 1135A 327P 05FEB OS 038 05FEB EWR - VIE 555P 800A 06FEB OS 071 06FEB VIE - CAI 1110A 335P 06FEB LH 581 15FEB CAI - FRA 155A 530A 15FEB LH 430 15FEB FRA - ORD 1050A 110P 15FEB UA1935 15FEB ORD - MSP 335P 501P 15FEB   If you wish for Elias Tours to add you to the group booking, please email us at eliastoursllc@gmail.com.

All-Inclusive $ 3,890
Eclipse Over the Nile: Egypt 2027 Witness history under the shadow of the sun. In August 2027, Egypt will host one of the most extraordinary celestial events of our lifetime — the longest total solar eclipse in over a century. Join us for an unforgettable journey that blends this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle with the timeless wonders of Ancient Egypt. Our adventure begins in Cairo, where the mighty Pyramids of Giza, the enigmatic Sphinx, and the treasures of the Egyptian Museum set the stage for a journey through history. From there, we fly south to Luxor — the ancient city of Thebes — to embark on a 4-night luxury Nile cruise. Sail the storied river, stopping to explore legendary sites such as Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, and Philae Temple. Along the way, you’ll witness Egypt’s timeless landscapes drift by — palm groves, fishing boats, and golden desert horizons. The highlight comes in Luxor, where we’ll experience the total solar eclipse in the path of maximum totality — an awe-inspiring 6 minutes and 23 seconds when day turns to night, the stars emerge, and the ancient land is bathed in otherworldly twilight. With expert guides, carefully planned viewing arrangements, and the magic of the Nile as our backdrop, this is more than a tour — it’s a moment in time you’ll carry forever.

All-Inclusive $ 3,890
Egypt 2027 Pilgrimage – “Out of Egypt, Toward Promise” Step into the landscapes where Scripture breathes. In 2027, Resurrection’s Pilgrimage Ministry invites you to journey with Pastor Erin through Egypt—a land that shelters both deliverance and exile, refuge and revelation. We’ll stand before the Pyramids of Giza—already ancient in Moses’ day—walk temple avenues scarred by conquerors and sanctified by prayer, and sail the Nile as evening light gilds its banks. In Cairo and beyond, we’ll visit ancient Coptic churches, tracing the footprints of the first Christians and the tradition attributed to St. Mark. Along the way, we’ll worship, learn, laugh, and grow—letting the story of God reshape our own as we travel together. Come ready for wonder; leave with a faith stretched by history, beauty, and the Spirit who still speaks beside desert and river. Mobility & pace (please read): This itinerary includes significant walking on uneven surfaces, ancient stairways, standing for extended periods, and a riverboat without elevator access. Some temple complexes span large areas (up to 200 acres). If mobility or stamina is a concern, please talk with us before registering so we can discern together whether this journey is a good fit and explore possible accommodations.   DETAILS: Trip departs on January 12, 2027, and returns on January 22, 2027 An optional 3-day  will be available for those who wish to experience St. Catherine’s Monastery and hike up Mount Sinai. The hike follows the ancient pilgrimage route traditionally believed to be the path Moses took to receive the Ten Commandments.  This is a hike and not a walk.  It will require headlamps as it is in the dark, and it is rocky, uneven ground.  For those with mobility concerns, it is not recommended.

Join Rev. Marty Tollefson - First Lutheran Church, Fargo, as we walk the lands and sail the waters where St. Paul journeyed, proclaiming the gospel of Christ. This inspiring journey will take us to historic towns and ancient ruins in  Corinth, and Ephesus—places where Paul preached, nurtured early Christian communities, and later sent his beloved letters. As we stand in these sacred spaces, we’ll hear those same scriptures read aloud, bringing Paul’s words to life in their original context. We’ll sail to the Island of Patmos, where St. John received his Revelation, and explore other islands where early converts built some of Christianity’s first places of worship. In Meteora, we’ll marvel at the monasteries suspended among the clouds. In Athens, we’ll ascend the Acropolis to visit the Parthenon and stand on Mars Hill, where Paul boldly preached as recorded in Acts 17. There will also be time to wander the vibrant streets of the city, savor local cuisine, and soak in Greek culture. This is more than a tour—it’s a journey of faith, learning, and renewal. Return home with a deeper understanding of Paul’s mission and the early church, and with your spirit refreshed by the beauty and hospitality of Greece.   DETAILS: Trip departs on June 6, 2026, and returns on June 16, 2026 Flight itinerary and cost will be posted here in September.  If you’re booking your own flights, please arrange to arrive in Athens (ATH) and depart from Athens (ATH).

All-Inclusive $ 4,890
I’m excited to invite members and friends of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Bellevue, NE to travel with me to Greece and Turkey to walk in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul and other leaders of the early church. The stories of the New Testament will come alive for us in new ways as we visit Corinth, Ephesus, Thessaloniki, and Philippi.  We will hear the stories from Scripture in the very places Paul’s letters were first heard. We will stand in the places Paul stood and understand better the context of his ministry.  We will experience new insight through the history of these communities. And since they’re close by, we’ll visit the monasteries balanced impossibly atop the towering cliffs of Meteora, we’ll travel by sea to the islands of Crete and Mykonos and Rhodes and Santorini.

Testimonials

I love the personal touch you get with Elias Tours. Elias and his team are always available and will do anything to exceed your expectations for a pilgrimage. I have worked with Elias to make the trips happen, and am already planning a fourth. As a pastor, I trust Elias Tours with my own congregational groups. They handle all the details so that I can provide the best care for my group, and work with the amazing guides that Elias arranges to allow an experience that leaves people with an unforgettable experience. You will never see the Biblical stories the same again!

Joel Pancoast
Tour Leader

Elias is very attentive and his company feels like a start-up on the one hand (meaning he is personally very involved) but it also feels seasoned because of his family’s long experience. Dr. Dale, Tour Leader.

The pilgrimage of a lifetime! This has been the most incredible and spiritual uplifting trip/pilgrimage of my pastoral ministry. There are so many people to thank including Elias Tours. Elias is a mastermind in travel detail and getting the best accommodations, food, and guides from the original trip cost. Thank you, Elias.

Pastor Tim Nybrten

“We had an unforgettable trip to the Holy Land with my group! Everything went as planned with a couple of welcomed surprises. We saw all the holy sites but what made this special was all the local contacts Elias Tours has with others. So not only did we see the sights, we experienced them with local people with personal stories and connections that I imagine other tours would not be able to offer. All of this personal service with no hidden cost makes this an experience, I would highly recommend Elias Tours. I want to go again!”

I HIGHLY recommend Elias Tours to anyone interested in seeing the Holy Land. It is far more than just the tourist stops. Very well planned and organized. You'll experience the culture and land from various perspectives. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Testimonial by Roxanne Malick
Roxanne Malick

Knowledgeable and professional on our tour of the Holy Land last November. He had insights that only someone who grew up in the area would have and we were able to experience many things that your average Holy Land tour would not even begin to explore. Highly recommend Elias Tours.

Testimonial by Lisa Grazioli Long
Lisa Grazioli Long

There are many tour agency’s in the Holy Lands, however there are only a few like Elias Tours. Elias made you feel like family in his hometown of Bethlehem each time he introduced you to some locals . He received our questions with a genuine spirit. He offered faithful responses rich in history and saturated with hard spiritual truths. I was impressed by his authentic approach that revealed the holy sites with respect and honor, alongside the realities of division and oppression. As a pastor, I highly recommend using Elias Tours for your church to explore the holy lands. My only regret from the trip was that I could not stay longer, especially on the Sea of Galilee.

We did a tour with Elias Tours and it was incredible! Seeing the Biblical sites where Paul started churches brought the book of Acts to life. Elias Tours handles all the details and included many exclusive experiences. If you are looking for an Israel or Steps of Paul tour I would highly recommend Elias Tours.
