From travelers and pastors and leaders who have journeyed with Rishon World Tours to Israel or a Footsteps of Paul Cruise/Tour…
“
Our church had the pleasure of traveling with Rishon World Tours for trips to Israel and the Footsteps of Paul Cruise/Tour. The partnership has been outstanding. The Footsteps of Paul Cruise Tours and the Israel/Jordan land tours have been excellent-thorough advance communication, cordial partnership, extremely competent organization, very competitive pricing, and biblical emphasis-all these factors have created an ideal touring environment for spiritual impact with our church family. These journeys have been personally fulfilling for me as a pastor, and the tours have benefited our church family immensely. I have heard some variation of the expression ‘trip of a lifetime’ from many in our church family over the past several years.
Rishon World Tours has my highest recommendation. In fact, our church is planning another tour with them next year!

Guiding my church through a tour of the Holy Land and the Footsteps of Paul Cruise/Tour were both extraordinary experiences, thanks to the services of Rishon Tours. From the initial stages of planning, Rich and the entire Rishon Tours team exhibited professionalism and commitment. Their timely and responsive communication leading up to the trip addressed all our questions and concerns, instilling confidence in the journey ahead. The meticulous planning, knowledgeable guides, and seamless coordination made our trip an unforgettable and spiritually growing adventure. Rishon Tours’ dedication to excellence was evident in every detail. As a local church pastor, I wholeheartedly recommend Rishon Tours to those seeking a well-organized trip. I look forward to entrusting them with our future tours.

We had a wonderful time on the Israel trip. There was so much to see but you were able to provide the right balance of pilgrimage and vacation. The teachings at the sites were outstanding and our understanding of the gospels and Old Testament stories increased significantly after being there. The accommodations and food as well as the guides, were excellent. We started the trip not knowing anyone and came away with lasting friendships that will likely continue long after the trip. The best affirmation we can give for Rishon Tours is that the Israel trip was so great that we are now looking forward to the opportunity to go on the Footsteps of Paul Cruise next year.

Everything about the trip was amazing. You did an amazing job of providing a budget-friendly trip yet managed to book us into some very nice hotels. The food was great, the buses comfortable, the drivers amazing in their ability to navigate close quarters, and I absolutely loved our guide, Mark. The tour of Israel and Jordan was truly amazing. The guides did an excellent job of teaching about the history of the sites, and the pastors really brought the Bible to life in their devotional times. And I met so many wonderful fellow travelers. I know some of them will be lifelong friends. I would definitely take another Rishon tour in the future and recommend them to my friends.

Thank you so much for such an amazing, life altering trip. I’ve traveled to many places, but no place can compare to the Holy Land, the place where God chose to put His name. From the moment I arrived I could just feel the shalom of the Lord. It was a beautiful, wonderful experience that can’t be put in words. The tour was great, We learned so much, the Bible came to life. I will never read the Bible the same ever again. I loved loved loved this trip. It was so great!! If the Lord wills, I’ll get to do it again!

This trip to Israel completely changed my perception of the presence of Jesus in my life. Jesus’ life in Israel isn’t a separate, compartmentalized story anymore. I feel more like my story is an extension of the story of Jesus in the Holy Land. Being able to stand where He stood and look over the land and people as He must have looked, makes me even more aware of His love for His people and His sacrifice for me.

We were well cared for and provided for. Amazing food. Precious people to share time with; the joy and blessing of their company was more than I expected. The tour guides were fabulous. I wholeheartedly encourage others to tour with Rishon Tours for Bible Land tours. The teaching, the travel accommodations, and the leadership are all excellent. While this was the first tour my husband and I have been on, it was our all-time favorite trip!

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip/tour. Each day was a new and exciting day and experience to learn about. Our guides and leaders had a thorough knowledge of each site and kept us entertained with their explanations. I think I could go again and learn even more at each site. Thank you for the amazing experience!

I’ve traveled to Israel almost 20 times and have used several tour agencies. Rishon Tours is without question the best I’ve ever used. The attention to detail, taking care of our travelers, and the personal interactions are what make them the best. I’m also looking forward to scheduling a Footsteps of Paul Cruise/Tour with them in the future. I refer all my pastor friends who bring groups to Israel to Rishon World Tours.

I have traveled with Rishon Tours for a Footsteps of Paul Cruise as well as several land tours of Israel. Each time, the Rishon team put my mind at ease because of their knowledge, thoroughness, and attentive customer service. Rishon Tours crafted great itineraries, made all the arrangements and made everything seamless. They created amazing itineraries at affordable prices. I am honored to partner with Rishon World Tours and wholeheartedly recommend them to pastors and leaders.

This was the most fascinating trip I have ever taken. I learned a lot about the bible and ancient history 101. I have wanted to visit Israel for many years and having Jordan and Petra added on fulfilled my dreams. I’m amazed at your abilities in putting this trip together……airline fares, good hotels, excellent meals and all the sites we visited…. still keeping the cost so reasonable. And the devotionals were beautiful and inspiring!
Putting this all together, this was a trip of a lifetime for me. I am eternally grateful.

It was so well planned. We had a wonderful time. Rishon Tours did an amazing job coordinating all of our tour stops, providing seamless entry to the sites, hotels and activities. We felt safe in Israel and our tour guides and pastors provided a trip that will always have special memories.
