Travel With Friends

Positive experience: Travel with Friends Footsteps of Paul tour went beyond my expectations. Our travel guide, Myrto (I think that's spelled right) absolutely made the trip a great experience for me. She was incredibly knowledgeable in the history, geography, culture (ancient and modern), mythology, and Orthodox church, and the food (don't forget the incredible food) and communicated that information in a humble and pleasant way. I would have liked a little bit more free time in Athens and in Thessaloniki. Some of the hotels weren't quite up to expectation but other than that, it was enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Travel with friends were great to work with as they answered all questions and or concerns prior to our cruise of the Norwegian Epic. Although I cannot say the same for the Epic.

Fantastic experience: We had a great time on the marriage cruise. Travel with Friends took care of everything. We look forward to taking more trips with them.

Fantastic experience: Went on cruise January 2025=We had a wonderful time, Travel with Friends kept us informed before and during our cruise. We will be planning another trip with Travel with Friends, great company to work with. Thank you, Travel With Friends.

Fantastic experience: Just returned from Greece, Footsteps of Paul. The trip was amazing. As a pastor it was extra special to be able to now see where Paul went on his missionary journey. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and I was able to learn more about the history of Greece and how that plays into the Biblical narrative of Paul's journey. I would highly recommend Travel With Friends and if you go to Greece ask for Myrto to be your guide.

Fantastic experience: Just returned from Turkey and the Seven Churches of Revelation. What a wonderful experience. Friends truly makes traveling fun and easy. Ephesus will always hold a special place in my heart.

Fantastic experience: Would give more stars if it were an option. My husband and I have taken 4 group trips through Travel with Friends and have 2 others planned from this fall into next year. I cannot say enough about the exceptional customer service, the friendliness of the staff, and the efficiency of every trip we have made. Every phone call, email and promised reply is completed in a timely manner, no matter the question. When we decide to make a trip somewhere, Travel with Friends is our first "go to" to see what is available.

Fantastic experience: I just got back from Greece. The trip was exhausting, but we warned about that from the start. There is a LOT to see in such a short time. It was a trip of a lifetime. The accommodations were wonderful as well as the food and restaurants. Our lead pastor switched the itinerary around, which I thought helped with fatigue and the ability to cover more ground. Travel with Friends plan great trips with wonderful tour guides and excursions. I am so pleased with this company and the tours I go on. I will most definitely only travel with this group. Thank you Pastor Wayne and the people at Travel with Friends that make these wonderful once in a lifetime trips available to us.

Fantastic experience: I had given a negative review earlier regarding my cancelled reservation and deposit withheld. Travel With Friends contacted me and were very understanding and willing to work with me. I am hopeful travel to the Holy Land will resume and I can travel with them.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I just returned from a TWF tour of the Holy Land and Egypt. Charlie and Money Mike exceeded our expectations! They were so very knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. We had so much fun and learned so much. The attack on Israel came while we were there; Charlie, Mike, and the company kept us informed and kept us safe. We were never in fear because we knew we were in good hands—our safety was their number one concern. We truly had an amazing experience, thanks to TWF!

Fantastic experience: I would like to share how much we appreciate our tour agency, “Travel with Friends” and all the people who were remembering us in their thoughts and prayers during our time in Israel. We arrived on Monday, October 2, 2023 to begin our nine days traveling around the Holy Land. This place is a MUST place to visit. I would recommend “Travel with Friends” above any other agency. Charlie was the best tour guide anyone could hope for. In addition, our bus driver Mike was amazing. We are so grateful for these two men and how well they help to provide the best experience possible… even though on Saturday, October 7 as you know, Hamas violently attacked Israel. We were traveling with 27 other Christians from the USA in the West Bank, heading back to Jerusalem when this occurred. We felt God’s presence throughout the next four days like never before. We never felt like we were in any immediate danger, even though some of our plans were altered, as Israel prepared for war. Our tour agency, “Travel with Friends” went above and beyond to accommodate us with housing, meals, and an amazing time as we toured the city of Jerusalem, the enclosed “Old City of Jerusalem”, and sites around Jerusalem over the next 3 days. What an Indescribable Experience to see the Bible come to life and the stories of faith become so real. Since the airport at Tel Aviv was closed to us, “Travel with Friends” rerouted our travel back home on Wednesday (our scheduled departure day) to Amman Jordan, then to Qatar. This provided and extra experience we would not have had if not for them. We enjoyed an incredible five course meal, in Amman before being taking to the airport in Qatar for our flight home, on the best flight we had ever traveled. The food and service were extraordinary! We know our time there and travel were favored by God… more so because of the prayers of so many amazing brothers and sister and the effort put out forth by “Travel with Friends”. On behalf of our group, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. May heaven bestow its best upon you and your families. Shalom and Godspeed! Vickie and Rickey Rushing

Fantastic experience: My trip to the holy lands exceeded my expectations. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. Thank you. This is a must on your to-do list.

Fantastic experience: I was on a tour in Israel when was declared. Due to circumstances out of Travel with Friends control their team both on the ground in the USA took great care of us during this whole process and got us home safely. Money Mike and Charlie were excellent. Words can not express how great the trip was and outstanding job both driver, guide and staff of Travel with Friends. I highly recommend them for any upcoming travel.

Fantastic experience: Our recent trip to Greece with the Rev. Dr. Mike Alexander and his wonderful wife Betsy was truly the trip of a lifetime! Our guides Tasos and Maria were incredible, and for us as first-time overseas travelers, the carefully planned and orchestrated outings removed all stress about where to go and when. Dr. Mike's sincerity and excitement in sharing Paul's travels is contagious. We were blessed! The Lees

Fantastic experience: Well organized trip with great guides, Thosos and Maria! The bus driver, Dimitri, was exceptional, too. The tour included all the places we wanted to see and, overall, it was a really great trip. Travel with Friends was especially easy to work with and attentive to special needs. We came home with great memories and new friends!!! Mike Alexander, our group leader, provided full service support and information prior to and through the trip - just excellent! Highly recommend this trip and company!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful trip to Greece with great people and two excellent group leaders! Mike and Betsy were very organized and kept us all informed of what was next on the itinerary. We had Maria as our tour guide and she did an amazing job sharing the culture and history of Greece. The hotels were very accommodating and perfect for a quick night's stay. I would highly recommend Travel With Friends!

Fantastic experience: I got to truly walk the footsteps of Apostle Paul and get a taste of the spectacular Greek Isles. The tour guides were funny, knowledgeable and enlightening. Travel with Friends cares for each guest’s welfare and safety. I only wish there was more time for shopping. But that aside, I was truly able to connect with Paul’s missionary journeys and the obstacles he faced in the Ancient Greek world he encountered.

Fantastic experience: Sitting in Athens airport reflecting on an amazing journey following Paul’s footsteps through Greece and Turkey. We began our journey through several islands aboard the Celestyal Olympia cruise ship. Tasos guided us through this part of the trip providing great care and managing all the details to perfection! The staff and service of the ship was great and comfortable. Next we journeyed by bus with Demetrius fantastically driving us from Thessaloniki to Ephesus to Meteora - many mountains and valleys in between to Athens!! Maria guided us on this part of the journey providing excellent information and interesting detail with a gracious, friendly smile. Mike and Betsy were the best - as always!! Thank you friends!! We are looking to see many more places across the globe traveling with friends!

Fantastic experience: This was a trip of a lifetime. Our tour guides were great! Mike, Betsy, Tasos, and Maria were perfect in every way. I highly recommend using Travel with Friends. This is our second trip with them. We will definitely continue using them in our travels.

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful trip. The itinerary was fabulous and everything worked smoothly. The guides Tasos and Maria were exceptional. Dr. Mike and Betsy Alexander made us feel well taken care of. The accommodations were great. Overall we loved our trip. I would suggest that TWF add an extension to Rome for this Footsteps of Paul trip.

Fantastic experience: Second trip with Travel with friends. Great job by all involved. Would only Travel with this group. Thanks Mike and Betsy Alexander for the great service.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience. Our guide Adam was great, funny, informative and made trip experience extraordinary.

It is a trip if a lifetime and Travel With Friends is the only way to go !!!!

Fantastic experience: This trip was the most amazing experience of a lifetime!! Adam was the best guide ever, his knowledge & attention to detail was by far excellent. Mike our driver was great getting us to & from. These two make a spectacular team. We were truly blessed with the best.

Fantastic experience: Travel with Friends is the best place to plan a tour of Israel. Adam is a great guise and Money Mike can drive a bus like no one else!

Fantastic experience: We just got back yesterday from Israel and it was a life changing experience! It just makes everything you hear and read in the Bible come to life! Our tour guide, Adam, was the best and always answered every question we had. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about what he did. Our bus driver, Money Mike, always got us to where we needed to go safely and did it with a smile on his face. I know many people get nervous when traveling out of the country, but there was never a time when I felt unsafe or in danger. I highly encourage everyone to go experience The Holy Land tour with travel with friends. It is definitely worth it!!

Fantastic experience: Trip of a lifetime!! Our tour guide, Adam is truly the best and our bus driver, Money Mike is impressive……..what a team!! Wonderful memories made and I will cherish the entire experience!!

Fantastic experience: They were very professional and our guide Adam was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and attentive to our group. He gave us more nuggets than i expected. Our driver Mike was phenomenal as he navigated through the crowded streets. I highly recommend travel with friends.

Fantastic experience: Very well done. Grateful to have traveled with these folks. Top shelf. I led my church on our first Holy Land trip. Travel With Friends made it easy. We look forward to returning. Adam and Mike are absolutely the best.

Fantastic experience: CJ was our guide so great in knowledge and personality. What a marvelous. Eye opening, wonderful trip. The Bible came alive as CJ explained each and every step of the trip. Happy was our bus driver and I must say what a driver he is. Also great in personality. There was nothing I could have asked for to better my trip. Thank you again CJ and happy. Of course Travel With Friends made the trip extremely special.

Fantastic experience: Just returned from the Holy Land leading my first trip for my church. Travel With Friends made this experience wonderful. The planning and support from their office leading up to the trip was excellent. Our tour guides, Adam and Charlie, and our bus drivers Mike and Mike were exceptional. Their knowledge of history, the Bible, and cultures made the trip so educational. But their kindness, humor, and coordination of all the details made the trip memorable. I will travel with them again and again.

Fantastic experience: It was so great. From the start we were met at the airport and from there everything was perfect. Our guide was CJ and boy, did he make the Bible come to life with his stories and knowledge of Israel. He was great. Our bus driver, Happy, was great at getting that big bus through those tiny streets and traffic. All in all I give them a 5 out of 5 and would not hesitate to book with you another tour. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: We just arrived home from our trip to Israel. I am thankful that we toured with Travel with Friends. The accommodations were comfortable and in great locations. The schedule was busy but not burdensome. The best part was our guides and drivers that really made this trip special. We had a large group of 60+ and required two buses. The drivers, Money Mike and Mike, were impressively skillful and kept the two groups together each day. The guides, Adam and Charlie, made the trip so much more enjoyable and informative. The four-man team worked well together and were funny and personable. They looked like they enjoyed their jobs - which is refreshing. I really can’t say enough good things about Adam; he is very knowledgeable on history, archeology, current day events, as well as Biblical knowledge and how it weaves into history in Israel. I don’t think you can go wrong by choosing Travel with Friends.

Fantastic experience: I had the most amazing experience! I have not one complaint! Our guide CJ was the real deal! He was extremely knowledgeable . Inspired me to Learn more about the history of Israel. Everything was well coordinated. He made this trip an experience of a lifetime. I am so thankful. I recommend using Travel with Friends for your tour of the Holyland. I was very sad to leave ❤️

Fantastic experience: Excellent trip to Israel! Highly recommend. Travel With Friends provides end-to-end world-class service. Our guides, Adam and Charlie, had unparalleled depth of knowledge about every site on our trip. Our bus driver, Mike, was the best — great behind the wheel, warm personality, and funny!

Fantastic experience: This Holy Land tour has been the trip of a lifetime! Adam is a remarkable guide with seemingly endless knowledge of both biblical and Israeli history. Mike is an amazing driver who got us through every difficult traffic situation Jerusalem could throw at us. It has been an extraordinary trip through the land of the Bible and it couldn’t have been planned or executed by all at Travel with Friends any better!

Fantastic experience: Our trip to The Holyland was exhilarating (yet exhausting.) Accommodations were comfortable, buses were new, guides were competent and personal . Mike was awesome in maneuvering the bus in a difficult environment. Charlie was knowledgeable and thorough in his explanations of events and culture. Adam was impressive with his thorough knowledge of biblical history. He not only was a great scholar of the Bible but was also kind and patient with his encounters with each of us . He encouraged questions and was delighted to answer them . What a blessing this trip has been .

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to visiting, people come here to see how the Bible is true. I recommend Christian’s or all people should come here. Travel with friends was great Adam and Mike were the best

Fantastic experience: Greatly enjoyed our trip. Adam was a blessing with his Christian perspective and thorough explanations and application to biblical truths. Mike can put that bus through the eye of a needle .

Fantastic experience: I recently embarked on a Holy Land tour in Israel led by the exceptional tour guide, Adam, and skillfully driven by Mike. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Adam's extensive knowledge of the Bible and its historical context added a profound dimension to the tour. His ability to connect the scriptures with the sites we visited brought an unparalleled depth of understanding to the Holy Land's significance. Adam's insights into the biblical narratives, combined with his vivid storytelling, made each stop come alive with relevance and meaning. In addition to his impressive biblical expertise, Adam's friendly and approachable nature fostered an atmosphere of open dialogue and curiosity among the group. He was always willing to answer questions and engage in thoughtful discussions about the historical and spiritual aspects of our journey. Mike, our reliable and skilled bus driver, ensured that our journey was smooth and safe throughout. His expertise in navigating the sometimes challenging terrain of the region was evident, allowing us to focus on absorbing the beauty and spirituality of the Holy Land. The seamless coordination between Adam and Mike created a harmonious and enjoyable experience for all participants. Their teamwork was evident in every aspect of the tour, making it clear that they were dedicated to providing us with an unforgettable journey. I highly recommend this tour, thanks to the outstanding contributions of Adam and Mike. Their expertise, warmth, and professionalism left a lasting impression on all of us. If you're considering a Holy Land tour, this team comes with my highest recommendation, especially if you seek a guide with deep biblical knowledge and a passion for sharing it.

Fantastic experience: Traveled to Israel, and had an awesome experience! Adam our guide was so professional and had a breadth and depth of knowledge that was really impressive. He worked well together with our driver Mike and second guide Charlie. This package had everything you need for an Israel trip. All the stops, great hotels and food.

Fantastic experience: This week and a half in Israel has been amazing! THE reasons why are our guides-Adam & Charlie and our phenomenal driver-“Money” Mike! Mike got us through spaces that no bus should be able to fit through! Adam and Charlie made everything I’ve read in Scripture become 3-D, as they peeled back layer after layer of interesting and useful facts at every site. They increased my trust in and love for the Word of God. By God’s grace, i hope to return to Israel again with a group who’s never been, and if/when I do, my FIRST call WILL be to “Travel With Friends”, and I WILL be requesting these men to lead us. THANK YOU ADAM, CHARLIE, and MIKE!!

Fantastic experience: Loved the whole tour. Allot to take in. Adam was our guide. He was especially kind, helpful and went out of his way to do whatever it took to take care of us. His knowledge about the sites was so impressive I would recommend him to anyone I meet. He also had such a knowledge of the Bible and the way he could connect our faith, plus connect it with the surrounding faiths, made it all connect in a way, I walked away with so much more understanding. Loved him!!!. Our bus driver Mike was also very helpful, made sure we had ice cold water, that we were all in the bus, comical, genuinely fun to be around. Exceedingly great driver.!!. Would go anywhere with him!!

Fantastic experience: The trip was amazing. Adam our tour guide was so knowledgeable both of biblical and historical events. He also did and amazing job watching out for all of us and making sure we had everything we needed. Our driver, Mike, was amazing too. He drove us safely through very congested areas with ease. I definitely would recommend Travel with Friends for and experience of a lifetime learning about Jesus and Isreal. Mike and Adam are number one.

Fantastic experience: This was my first time in Israel and it was absolutely amazing! We came with our church and could not have had a more perfect guide. Adam was extremely knowledgeable, informative and kind. “Money Mike” is quite possibly the best bus driver in Israel:) I don’t think there’s a tight spot he can’t maneuver! We saw so many astonishing sights and without Mike and Adam it certainly would not have been the same! Thank you both for the memories and spiritual moments I will forever cherish!!!

Fantastic experience: Adam was the Superman of your guides! He was full of knowledge and graciously indulged our every question. He was professional, yet personal. He worked HARD to make sure our experience was maximized. Mike is an EXPERT bus driver, thrilling us with his driving skills! Thank you, Adam and Mike!

Fantastic experience: Best trip ever to Israel! Bus driver, Money Mike, and our tour guide, Adam, were the best! Not a single question goes unanswered and the travel is superb.

Fantastic experience: We toured the Holy Land July 18-27. My daughter and I flew separately from the rest of the group, because we were in Greece the week before the tour. Susan in the home office was very helpful making sure that we got the group's flight information so that we could meet them in Tel Aviv. Our guide Adam was fantastic! He was waiting for us when we got to the airport and from there on; he made the tour a memorable and unforgettable experience. He has an obvious passion for sharing his knowledge about Israel’s history and love of Christ. And what an incredibly vast knowledge he has! We learned so much about each of the sites while still having fun. We never had any concerns about our personal safety. Our bus driver Mike was also wonderful! Personable and accommodating, he was willing to help with every request. It was an amazing trip. I highly recommend this incredible experience with Travel with Friends.

Fantastic experience: Travel With Friends was wonderful to work with. From the first exploratory conversation to the post trip conversations, they are the best. We have already started the conversation to go with them again in 2 years. Fingers crossed we get paired with Mike (driver) and Adam (guide) again; they are sensational.

Fantastic experience: We had an experience of a lifetime with Adam! Best tour guide in all of Israel in my opinion! His knowledge of the country and presentation were nothing short of wonderful! Money Mike was a great driver as well. I will be recommending Adam and this trip to many more people!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I are just closing a once in a lifetime trip to Israel. Adam and Money Mike made the trip so much more than a tour. The depth and breadth of Adams knowledge is beyond measure. It’s extremely apparent Money Mike and Adam are respected by everyone they meet along the way. We felt 100% safe the entire trip. If you are considering the trip “Book it Today” !

Fantastic experience: This was the trip of a lifetime Our guide, Adam and our driver, Mike were a wonderful team. I felt safe at all times and Adam was a count of information. I feel blessed to have been a part of this group.

Fantastic experience: Adam was very professional and is a subject matter expert in the history of the Bible. He made an early statement that this trip would change the way we interpret scripture in relation to Biblical events.

The bus drivers, Happy and magic Mike, were not only great bus drivers but great guys as well! Everything was top notch from the accommodations to the meals to the daily excursions. I would definitely go on other trips with Travel with Friends!!!

Fantastic experience: My recent trip to Israel with Travel With Friends was an amazing experience. It met all my expectations and more. I highly recommend them and hope one day to travel again with these amazing folk. The tour guides Adam and CJ were experts on all the sites we visited and hats off to Mike the bus driver who made our road travels very entertaining and above all safe. Our accommodations and meals were 5 star. Again thank you Travel With Friends for the adventure of my life. God Bless you all, Judy Parks

Fantastic experience: We just returned from a 10-day Holy Land trip with a group of nearly 100. Travel With Friends did extraordinary work in organizing and guiding our journey. Local tour guides, Adam and C.J., have strong backgrounds in Biblical history and archeology, and patient teaching skills. They shared a wealth of information, and were attentive to all questions we had. Our pastors led us on this spiritual pilgrimage. The whole experience truly helped to bring the Bible to life for us, “on location.” Bus drivers, Happy and Mike, were highly skilled at maneuvering us around the countryside, into the cities, and onto the sites. The food was incredible, and the hotel accommodations excellent. We felt safe and well cared for. Of course, the greatest thing of all was to walk, learn and worship - where Jesus Christ walked, taught and lived. We would highly recommend Travel With Friends for such a monumental trip. We look forward to traveling with them again in the future.

Fantastic experience: TRAVEL WITH FRIENDS is an extraordinary travel company that I wholeheartedly recommend. I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional experiences they have provided me both times to Israel. One of the standout aspects of TRAVEL WITH FRIENDS is the personalized touch they bring to every aspect of their service. They truly become friends. From the initial planning stages to the actual execution of the trip, their team of dedicated professionals ensures that every detail is meticulously taken care of. Their attention to logistical details is truly impressive, creating a seamless and stress-free travel experience for all participants. I must take a moment to commend the tour guides, CJ and Adam. Adam is an exceptional guide at the sites, embodying the qualities of preparedness, personability, and professionalism. His extensive knowledge and passion for the destinations we explored were evident in his engaging storytelling and informative commentary. With Adam and CJ leading the way, I felt completely at ease and confident throughout my travels. It was obvious they both loved their families which made them even more endearing. And the drivers! Kudos to our driver, Happy and the other bus driver, Money Mike. Their skills "threading the eye of a needle" or backing into slots are impressive and breath-taking! TRAVEL WITH FRIENDS has consistently exceeds expectations, offering unforgettable adventures that leave me with cherished memories. Their commitment to providing exceptional service and creating amazing experiences for every traveler is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to entrust their travel plans to TRAVEL WITH FRIENDS for a truly remarkable journey.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely best, well organized trip I have been on. And that is saying a lot with around 100 people of all ages. Adrian did a phenomenal job with all the logistics. I can’t say enough about the patience and knowledge of our main tour guide Adam. I was blown away by his knowledge, humor and insight. Money Mike, our driver, kept us safe and on time, and that is some kind of feat in that traffic. He was also very entertaining. I didn’t have as many interactions with CJ and Happy (the other driver), but they kept the buses together, and I always felt safe as we traveled from one place to another. CJ was very informative as well. I can’t wait to travel with this company again. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I recently took the Holy Lands tour and I can’t express how exciting this adventure was for me and my husband it wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for the coordination of Travel With Friends they took care of everything for us they made everything so easy there was no stress at all nothing but pure enjoyment and excitement during the whole trip. The tour guides Cj and Adam .. WOW they are the BEST and I mean that to the fullest the knowledge these two men have will blow your mind of the places you venture to the knowledge of Jesus and his travels and the history. Would I recommend Travel with Friends let’s just say if you don’t use them your missing out on the adventure of a lifetime and the best travel company out there. We plan to travel with the company again soon

Fantastic experience: Just a wonderful trip! From the moment we got off the plane until we left, we were educated and entertained by our guide, Adam, and bus driver, Mike. Memories made that will last my lifetime. Thank you for the excellent experience!

Fantastic experience: In a single word … WOW! This was such an incredible experience. We traveled with our South Carolina church group June 19-28, 2023. From the time we cruised on the Sea of Galilee, through sites we had only heard or read about, to the humbling experience at The Garden Tomb, Travel with Friends provided us with a journey we will cherish always. Our guide, Adam, was great and his knowledge of the Bible, as well as each area visited, was truly inspirational. Our driver, “Magic Mike”, kept us on time and got us to each destination safely with an added “joke-of-the-day”. As we returned home and have begun to share our experience with friends and family, Travel with Friends is strongly being recommended. Thanks for such a great trip!

Fantastic experience: Just returned from a 10 day Trip to Israel with Travel with Friends. All I can say is WOW! They made the Holy Land come alive. Adrian who coordinated the trip with our church and the guides Adam and CJ made this a remarkable experience. I would never travel to the Holy Land unless I traveled with this team! Thank You!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Just completed a trip to the Holy Land. CJ, Adam were our tour guides. Happy was our bus driver. They made the places Jesus walked and lived come to life. Adrian was on the trip with us and everything was handled beautifully and with perfection. When returning would only like to take the trip again with the above mentioned people Hands down the best ever.

Fantastic experience: Took a trip to The Holy Land with our church. We had the best tour guide named Adam who brought the Bible to life. He was a blessing to get to know. Our bus driver, Mike was the best around. This is not an easy country to park and drive. The booking and all the little details were handled by Travel with Friends. Can’t wait for our next trip in 2024 with them.

Fantastic experience: Traveled June 19-28 to the Holy Land. Wonderful trip! Driver (Money Mike) was fantastic! The tour guide (Adam) was so friendly, fun and knowledgeable, he made all sites really come to life and he really made the trip enjoyable. CJ was good as well, but we didn’t spend as much time with him. Adrian was a total joy to work with! I love this company!!!!

Fantastic experience: Went on the Holy Land Adventure with our church group. This was a first class, life changing experience! Adam, our guide, was sooooo impressive. His knowledge and insight into the biblical history of each site is amazing. He puts you "on location" as he calls it. Adrian was so helpful with all our questions about the trip. Every aspect of the trip was truly top notch professional.

Fantastic experience: I had so much fun on this trip! I am beyond grateful for our incredible guide, Adam, and our bus driver, Mike. I am blessed to have been able to experience going to the Holy Land at a young age, and it truly was unforgettable. Adam did a phenomenal job explaining each site we visited, he is very smart! I took so many notes, and I will be going home with a deeper understanding of biblical knowledge. I felt safe the entire trip, and it was well organized for having about 100 people with us. This trip was truly life changing, thank you Travel With Friends!

Fantastic experience: This was my first trip to the Holy Land. As a Christian, I was amazed and awed by this melting pot of people. Almost everything was included in the trip with Travel With Friends (few lunches not included). Adam Disoqui was our guide. Adam was so passionate about Israel, but I believe even more so in sharing the gospel. He was so knowledgeable regarding the history of each site, but also could recall scripture relating to each site. I have traveled a good bit and went on tours with many good guides, but Adam went far beyond any of my experiences with other guides. He even assisted some of our group at night, getting medications for for those with illnesses. He also made sure our luggage was picked up and delivered to the airport when we arrived and departed Tel Aviv. Adam has important connections with many of the people groups there and it was evident that they enjoyed working with Adam. I grew up in church and sometimes we read the Bible as if it was only a story. This trip and really brought the scripture to life. I would recommend this trip for anyone that would like to go to Israel and feel confident that almost everything will be taken care of. This is really important with the different language, currency, customs, etc. Thank you for an incredible trip that I will never forget.

Fantastic experience: First class! I must say that Charlie is the best tour guide ever. He stood up for us where ever we went he had our backs. He is also one of the most interesting and intelligent people I have ever met. All questions were answered and explained. Charlie you are awesome and definitely loved bye Journey Church. Also I would like to thank Ritchie for keeping us safe. He is the best bus driver very professional. I’m certain he could drive us anywhere in the world. That being said Charlie and Ritchie make travel with friends the company to go with when traveling Israel!

Fantastic experience: Wife and I recently took the Israel tour with Dr. Mike Alexander to the Holyland and had a terrific time. CJ our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable about everything Israel. Our bus driver Money Mike was very entertaining while safely and skillfully navigating the group across the Holyland. Hotels and breakfast and dinner buffets were incredible. This is a must see tour you will remember for life. VP of Travel with Friends 'Romi' traveled with us as well as a couple other Travel with Friends staff. We always felt safe and the group members were constantly individually accounted for during the whole trip. We met zero hostility anywhere along the way and would not hesitate to recommend this tour to family and friends.

Fantastic experience: What a adventure!! To travel to the Holy Land and to have the guides we had (Abraham and Adam and of course our bus driver Mike) they were and are very knowledgeable of Israel of the sites biblical and currant. To be able to walk where Jesus walked was magnificent. It brings the Bible alive. This is my second trip there with Travel with Friends and each time you will learn something new or something you have missed on the first trip. For me it was Masada first I walked up and this trip rode up and got to listen to Adam tell the story and explain the site ! GREAT! THANK YOU FOR A GREAT TRIP Shalom to all Teresa

Fantastic experience: Richie and Charlie were my driver and guide. What an awesome team they are. Charlie is so very knowledgeable about the Bible and this helps make the trip perfect! You will never be forgotten!

Fantastic experience: I want to praise Richie our Bus Driver and our Tour Guide Charlie! Richie made our trip more pleasure able by always being close to where we were and always waiting on us to board the bus. The teamwork of Richie and Charlie not only made this trip informative they made this excursion fun, exciting and adventurous! This is my first time traveling international and I hope that this has opened doors for me to travel again with Travel with Friends to other adventures!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for opening my eyes to all the gifts of Israel!!!

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience of my life on my tour of the Holyland! Charlie was so knowledgeable and he made the life of Jesus and Israel come to life! Richie was the best driver and made me feel safe on the roads of Israel which if I had to have navigated would have been a nightmare! Can’t say enough about this company! Will definitely be coming back and requesting Charlie and Richie. Travel with Friends is worth every dollar for the experience of a lifetime!

Fantastic experience: Wow! I'm speechless. I have never been on a tour before and didn't really know what to expect. Charlie and Richie were amazing. Charlie has a heart of gold and so much knowledge to go along with his heart. He would tell us the truth. I'm overwhelmed with so much information, but he helped make the BIBLE come to life for my husband and me. Richie, was the best bus driver I have ever ridden with. I've taken many tour busses for school trips when I was younger, and a few since I've been older. He was able to get in and out of so many tight spots and we always felt safe. My husband and I have talked about taking another trip to Israel with our family, and we will definitely request Richie and Charlie to be the bus driver and guide! Blessings

Fantastic experience: Our trip to the Holy Land was fantastic! The Hayslett family do a wonderful job bringing the Bible to life. Our guides, Adam and Abraham were wonderful, discussing facts that encompass multiple religions. This was a five year reunion for us and it was refreshing to see the improvement of relations between Palestinian controlled lands and Israel, something the news doesn't show. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, especially Christians, it will be life changing.

Fantastic experience: We took an 11 day tour with a group of about 40 people. It was absolutly amazing. Our tour guide Adam was the best! I highly recommend Travel with Friends

Fantastic experience: From the beginning to end of our trip to Israel, every detail was planned and executed perfectly. Our guide, CJ, was phenomenal! His knowledge and personality added a perfect balance of learning and fun. He is absolutely the best!

Fantastic experience: Travel with Friends was very professional in their organization and follow up regarding the trip. There staff was very helpful and prompt. Particularly, Mia Story. The guide that they provided, Adam Disoke, was outstanding in every way and he made the trip as good as it could be. He was knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, caring and personable. Our bus driver, "Mr. Happy", was also very good. The itinerary was excellent and all-encompassing. It was an extremely full agenda, but we did not miss any high spots and hit all of the sites that needed to be seen. Although this type of itinerary could be strenuous at times, we would not have had it any other way. Two of the hotels at which we stayed were excellent and one was not so much so. I say this primarily related to the food and not to the overall accommodations, as these were relatively modern and comfortable. I would highly recommend Travel with Friends to anyone.

Fantastic experience: C.J. is a fabulous guide!!!! We just finished an amazing week listening, looking, learning and experiencing the beautiful country of Israel. This has been a trip of a lifetime!!! Best wishes to CJ and the Travel with Friends staff. Rev Dr Mike Alexander has made this a great experience. My heart is full of gratitude! I’m thankful.

Fantastic experience: First trip to Israel and from Mike the bus driver to Abraham and Adam our guides, their professionalism, love for Israel and what it Biblically stands for far exceeded my expectation. Awesome once in a lifetime experience. Would recommend Travel With Friends to anyone considering Holy Land trip.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. It absolutely lived up to "trip of a lifetime" on every level for each one of us (active mid 50's couple & 17 yr old son) Top notch accommodations, good pacing & site selection, extremely interesting & informative and wonderful people. Photos included on my wife's post

Fantastic experience: My first pilgrimage to the Holy Land was March 2023. Our tour guide, Adam, was exceptional! His knowledge of the historical sites was impressive. He informed us of the significance of each site and included historical, archeological, and Biblical content. He was a wonderful guide and definitely added value to the pilgrimage! We always felt safe and each driver was professional and expert! I can't imagine a second trip without Adam as guide!

Fantastic experience: I just returned from an amazing trip to the Holy Land. Travel with Friends took care of every detail, before and during the trip. Our tour guide, Charlie, and driver Richie, were great. Charlie was extremely knowledgeable about the Bible and history of the area. He was great with rearranging details amidst some challenges and enabling us to experience as much as possible. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Awesome tour of Israel given by Charlie. I highly recommend him. His driver, Richie, is awesome as well. I would not want to do another trip unless it was with them!

Fantastic experience: This was my first time traveling to the Holy Land and I was throughly impressed by Charlie and his skills at being a guide. He knew what sites would be busy and at what times was very knowledgeable about everything we did or saw. He always looked out for our welfare and made sure we saw as much as possible during the time we had.

Fantastic experience: Our tour Guide Charlie was amazing and was better than my last tour guide from my previous trip in Israel back in 2020. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend him if you are wanting to have the best trip of your life in Israel.

Fantastic experience: The tour was amazing! Our guide Charlie was awesome! He handled situations very well and accommodated the schedule for our group. Our buss driver Richie was very talented! His driving skills were superb! Over all our tour of the Holy Land was one of a kind! I am very grateful for Travel with Friends! (Julia)

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about this travel group. This is my first pilgrimage to the Holy Land. It was amazing! The trip was well organized, maximized the time we had to visit the most sites. The itinerary was flexible to accommodate late arrival times due to flight delays and wishes if the group. I felt very safe. They are local guides and keep a pulse on events ( like marathons in downtown Jerusalem). And adjust schedules accordingly. Our guide Charlie was absolutely the best!!! He was extremely educated about the country, history, area and religions. He was so personable and fun to spend time with. Our bus driver Richie was tre beat also. I highly recommend the trip and this group. Thank you!!! Until next time….

Fantastic experience: Just got done with my school trip to Israel and the tour guide we had (charlie) was the best. He was very kind and welcoming to all of us. He definitely knows what he is saying and very knowledgeable. I would highly highly recommend charlie if you are looking for tour guides.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed Charlie taking us around. He did an excellent job explaining all the sites and answering questions. He always made sure the group stayed together and I always felt safe.

Fantastic experience: It was the best time ever! I am so grateful to have gone with this group! I specifically recommend Charlie! He was amazing! He, along with my pastor, made the best schedule and we’re excellent company! I have had the best experience spiritually, mentally, and emotionally! I am so thankful for this group, for our tour guide, and Israel! I recommend it to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I just took a trip to Israel with this group and it was the most amazing trip I’ve ever taken. My tour guide was Charlie and he was an amazing and awesome guy. Took us to many places and gave us the opportunity to have fun. He made things enjoyable and awesome. Very funny. I grew spiritually here as well and I was glad to have him as a tour guide.

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful experience on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Was able to see many historic sites associated with Jesus. Adam and "Happy" (the bus driver) were great and very personable. Enjoyed all their wisdom and knowledge they shared. Was able to see many parts of Israel and visit holy sites in the West Bank. Felt safe the whole time and had my heart broken for those struggling there.

Fantastic experience: Our pilgrimage took place February 20-March 2, 2023 and the weather was PERFECT! I cannot begin to describe how much this journey has impacted my life both physically and spiritually! And a majority of the credit for this amazing experience is due to Travel with Friends and our phenomenal tour guide, Adam! Adam (and our hilarious driver, Syed) was so knowledgeable on the area, culture, history, and scriptures. The people in the area respected him and were therefore very respectful to his group. We always felt safe. He made us laugh and taught us new things every single day. Adam was patient with our group and ensured that we had enough time to do/see what we wanted to do/see. Go with Travel with Friends and please ask that Adam be your guide! You will not regret it! The Holy Land tour will forever be in my mind and heart as I continue to study the Bible and share these stories with others. Thank you, Travel with Friends, for a life-changing experience! And thank you, Adam and Mr. Happy, for making our pilgrimage unforgettable!

Fantastic experience: Our trip to the Holy Land was awesome! Adam was fabulous. He provided so much insight to make the Bible come to life for us. Mr. Happy, our driver, was very helpful when shopping to guide us to get the best deal from Shekels to USD. It was a trip of a lifetime that I will never forget! My only complaint would be going to Masada on the same day we had to get to the airport. It was hot and after sweating in the desert, being in the same clothes for nearly 36 hrs was miserable.
