CHRIS AND LINDY HILL are delighted to present this wonderful programme of BIBLE TOURS to you. Each will be a feast of Bible Study and a rich experience of in-depth ministry. The list of places is formidable: WE COVER THE WHOLE LAND: and our experience in leading tours over more than three decades has enabled us to construct exceptional programmes. But please note that while people of all ages come on our tours, a reasonable level of fitness is required.
Israel is unforgettable! A Bible tour of the Holy Land is a true investment for disciples of Jesus. The visit should make God's Word spring to life: and this is a very great blessing. Second, it stimulates our sense of God's hand in human history - present as well as past. Third, Israel offers unsurpassed weather and scenery to make a visit to the Holy Land the holiday of a lifetime! Is such a tour a wise use of our money? The prospect of spending so much on ourselves needs very careful thought. We certainly need to "hear the Lord" on this so that we can approach the tour with joy and not with a sense of guilt. So as of first importance, pray it through. If, after praying you still feel it is right to go, praise the Lord, give three cheers, and send for your brochures!
THE ITINERARIES
we offer are quite exceptional by any standards. If you compare them with other tours of comparable price you will see that we include many additions at no extra cost. This is because we want you to go to Israel, seeing as much of it as possible without rushing, and so we pare profit margins down to the barest minimum to enable you to do it. We see our tours as a ministry rather than as a business. The mere fact that many of the people who come on our tours are coming for the second, third and even the fourth time speaks for itself! We endeavour to visit all places mentioned in the Itinerary (and more besides) but we reserve the right to change the order of visits or to substitute one site for another one if new archaeological discoveries show it to be more important biblically. Remember, there are no optional tours. All are included in the cover price.

FOOD IN ISRAEL
is delicious and it presents no problems for the European palate! In fact visitors are quick to appreciate the quality of Jewish and Arab cooking. The renowned Israeli breakfast provides an enormous buffet choice of foods, and evening buffet dinners are always very substantial as well. Mid day meals are taken in restaurants as we travel, and they offer a wide range of foods from light snacks through to full meals. Prices are similar to those in our Motorway Service Areas.
MEDICAL NEEDS
are well provided for in Israel. Our guides are trained in First Aid, a doctor is on call at every hotel we use, and every town and village has at least one high class Chemist's shop which provides all the usual pharmaceutical goods. Let your own doctor know that you intend to go to Israel: he may advise some injections. Please be advised by your doctor. If you are a diabetic, or have other dietary problems, it will present no problem as far as restaurants are concerned AS LONG AS YOU LET US KNOW WHEN YOU BOOK.
SMOKERS are asked to refrain from smoking in the coach and at the meal table out of regard for other tour group members.
"WILL WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY FOR FELLOWSHIP?"
Yes, of course! All the time! Bible Study forms the backbone of the tours, and the background world and language of the New Testament is explored to the full. Many relationships formed between tour members regularly develop into lasting friendships.
PRICE SURCHARGES! In the unlikely event of major currency fluctuations it may be found necessary to impose a small surcharge. This could also occur in the event of increases in hotel prices or air fares. We like to advertise our tours well in advance and our published prices are correct at the time of going to Press.

PRIVATE TOURS OF ISRAEL
If you have already been on one of our Bible tours of Israel, you may long for the opportunity to go again as private visitors. After all, you may have the desire to linger in some of the wonderful places we took you to or to visit sites we did not include in the tour itinerary. Then again, you may like to visit Christians in their homes and churches … or maybe you fancy a trek along one of the National Park trails or a meal with the Bedouins! Anything is possible!
Our Guide/Courier – Batya ten Brink – will meet you with a large touring car on arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv and be your constant companion throughout the visit and return you to the airport for your homeward flight at the end.
We can arrange all the details – Flights, hotels, itinerary … in fact, everything!
