Jerusalem is the heart. Half of our excursions are going to Jerusalem. Prophets and Jewish kings, Jesus, Christian Crusaders, and Muslim armies were fighting for this city. Thousands of pilgrims and visitors are coming to Jerusalem in at least 3000 years. This is a must-visit place. This place is very important for our civilization. As a Christian tour participant, you sure know here was the most important miracle—the victory over death. From here, Jesus went to the haven, and here, back to Jerusalem, Jesus will return on his second coming. So here, the story of the Bible comes to life. In the places described in the Bible, you will see and walk over the same streets. Please note: I am a very well-known and experienced guide in Israel. I have good knowledge and education in history, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. It is my pleasure to show Jerusalem to our guests. You are not only my tourists; you are my guests.
