Overview

A NOTE FROM ROBERT COX:

In 2022 I had the opportunity to go on my first 10-day tour to the Holy Land. What an incredible heartfelt, and amazing experience that is hard to describe with words. All the stories I heard, all the scriptures I read and studied during my life, everything I believed from the Word of God that took place thousands of years ago, I was experiencing. I was walking in the footsteps of our Lord and Savior.

God willing, I want others to experience the Holy Land, not as tourists, but as Christians on a religious journey.  I will be organizing a 10-day journey from November 6th through November 15th to the Holy Land. My desire is this trip will be a step in furthering your spiritual walk and developing a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior. I will be providing a trip summary which provides a detailed description of each holy site with biblical verses. I hope this will help focus on specific bible verses and make your experience more meaningful and life changing. I hope you will prayerfully consider joining me on this wonderful experience exploring the land of the Bible together.

Parkway on the Mountain and the Roanoke Valley are blessed with people who love the Lord and are always seeking ways to deepen their personal relationship with our Lord. I can’t express enough how unforgettable and life changing this trip will be as the Bible becomes real before your eyes.

What an eye opening experience! This tour brought the scriptures to life in ways we never imagined. We had great learning opportunities as we visited sites in the Bible and learned from archeology. The tour guides in Israel and Nazareth were wonderful. Their stories of what it was like to live as a Christian there provided us with insights we would not gain anywhere else. We can’t say enough about both our tour guides who were immensely knowledgeable, easy to relate to and understand, flexible, and patient. What an amazing experience!

This was a lifelong bucket list trip for me. So my expectations were high, AIT did not disappoint . At the airport waiting for me was a representative greeting me with a sign at 3:00 in the morning. He guided me to my first hotel and got me checked in. Accommodations were superior at all locations. The trip flowed better than expected with incredible guides all along the way. Their historical knowledge as well as their Biblical knowledge about every site we visited was amazing. Intal (a Jewish Christian) was the best. She was knowledgeable, pleasant, and encouraging to some of us that were struggling at times. They protected us from unwanted vendors. Will there be a Bucket Trip 2 ? Who knows, but If so it will definitely be with AIT! We felt safe the entire time.

Best Group Ever!  Thank you to AIT for a great experience. From the moment we landed we were well taken care of. All the hotels were wonderful and the food exceptional. everyone enjoyed this trip so so much.
I absolutely appreciate Yoram’s interaction with everyone. He made our trip fun and we all connected so well with him. Our driver Mudi was the best! He had a very warm personality and was always available to help everyone wherever he could. He even helped serve food at one of the restaurants we stopped at for lunch. Our group loved this tour so much, saying goodbye to Yoram and Mudi was hard. Until Next year in Jerusalem!

From start to finish AIT had everything covered. Picking me up at the airport upon my arrival; to taking me to the airport at the end of the tour, Their tour guide was outstanding (thank you Jair) and our driver (thank you Maher) was also wonderful. As a vegetarian, my friends were concerned I would not have my dietary needs met. Israel is a vegetarian paradise. So many wonderful veggies as well as excellent falafel. At all the sites, our guide read the corresponding passages from the Bible. This was one of safest places I have ever visited. Not once did I feel any concern for my safety

I saw many biblical sights and it was great the guide read scripture at each one. The group of 12 became close friends. I had a favorite site each day, but the Galilee boat ride, Messada, & Via Dolorosa stood out.
