MESSIANIC TOUR TO ISRAEL
Customized Israel Messianic Group Tour Itinerary
Coral Travel & Tours’ friendly and experienced staff will work closely with you to customize your Messianic Tour to Israel. Our promise to you is to create a Messianic Israel Tour itinerary that best suits your group’s travel needs. Our customized travel for Christian and Messianic groups allows participants to view this sacred land from a distinctly biblical frame of reference.
There’s nothing like walking the land where the patriarchs, the judges, the kings, the prophets, and the apostles walked. There’s no experience like seeing the Bible come alive in sight and sound. And to walk where Messiah walked, to stand where He stood, to behold the same sites His eyes beheld, is unlike any other experience on Earth.
