GBTour of Israel and Egypt The tour was well planned, and tour guides did a great job. Hotels were well chosen. I especially enjoyed the extension into Egypt. Mount Sinai and the Pyramids were great. I was happy that extra security was provided in Egypt. I felt safe the whole time. Our "end-of-tour-banquet" in Israel was disappointing...just a regular meal. The optional Nile River cruise should have been chosen for the banquet. I missed it, but know from others that it was great. I would have gladly paid extra for inclusion of the cruise and several lunches in the package price.

GBTwice Satisfied! Both tours I've taken with Friendship Tours have been wonderful! We never felt uncomfortable, always safe, and well tended to. The first one was to Israel (2017) which was a life-changing trip! The second one to Greece and Turkey (2019) followed Paul's Macedonian Journey. Our guide, Patrick Sullivan did such an outstanding job of seeing to every detail of our travels. Thank you!

GBIt was an amazing experience It was an amazing experience. We had a very special guide and two ordained ministers to speak to us of Jesus travels and teachings. Loved the time on the sea of Galilee and then the time in Masada and many more places that were important to the life of Jesus.or the ancient history of Israel. . Israel is the number one destination for Christians to gain insight into the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Thank you Friendship Tours!

GBExploiting American Tourists Our guide was very knowledgeable about Israel. It was evident that she loved sharing it with Nationals. The only unfortunate aspect of the trip was that we were dragged to way too many tourist traps. It appeared as though the guide was purposely exploiting us to shop and boost the economy of her country. We were trapped in one shop for probably 1 1/2 hours. It was ludicrous! Other than feeling exploited, the tour was interesting and our personal safety was well attended to.

GBFriendship Tours did not disappoint Friendship Tours did not disappoint! As a pastor and trip coordinator, I was very hesitant before our trip to Israel with Egypt extension. I did not want to disappoint the 25 people in our group, and was concerned that this company might not be all that I hoped. However, I was pleased with every aspect of the tour. Accomodations were excellent. Food was excellent. Tour guide and drivers were friendly, knowledgeable, professional and flexible to our needs. The whole trip exceeded my hopes tenfold. I cannot think of one part of the tour that was not commendable. I will definitely use Friendship Tours for future trips with our church.
