Walk Where Faith Began
A pilgrimage to the Holy Land is more than a vacation. It is a journey of the heart. Standing in the places where Scripture came to life, breathing the same air that carried the prayers of prophets and apostles, touching the stones that witnessed miracles and covenants. For many travelers, a Holy Land pilgrimage tour is the most meaningful trip they will ever take.
At Hoshen Tours, we understand the weight of that experience. We have spent more than 20 years guiding pilgrims through the sacred sites of Israel, and we treat every tour as an opportunity to help you connect with the land, the history, and the faith that brought you here.
Hoshen Tours is a full-service tour operator, not just a guiding company. From the moment you land in Israel until the day you fly home, we handle everything on the ground: private transportation, accommodation, restaurant reservations, entry tickets, and any logistics your group needs. All you have to do is show up and experience the journey.
Sacred Sites That Define the Journey
A pilgrimage to the Holy Land with Hoshen Tours can include any combination of the sites that matter most to you. Some of the places our pilgrims visit most often include:
- Church of the Holy Sepulchre, believed to be the site of the crucifixion and resurrection
- The Garden Tomb, a peaceful place of prayer and reflection
- Via Dolorosa, the traditional path of the cross through Jerusalem’s Old City
- Gethsemane, where tradition holds Jesus prayed the night before the crucifixion
- Mount of Olives, with its sweeping view of Jerusalem and its ancient churches
- Capernaum, the town of Jesus on the shore of the Sea of Galilee
- Bethlehem and the Church of the Nativity
- Qasr el-Yahud, the baptismal site on the Jordan River
- Mount of Beatitudes, where tradition holds Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount
- Tabgha, the site of the multiplication of loaves and fishes
A Pilgrimage Designed Around Your Group
Every church, every congregation, and every traveler approaches pilgrimage differently. Some groups want a structured devotional experience with time for worship at every site. Others prefer a blend of spiritual reflection and historical exploration. Some want to include time in the Negev desert for quiet contemplation. Others want to visit the Dead Sea or explore modern Tel Aviv.
We build every Holy Land pilgrimage tour from the ground up, based on your group’s spiritual goals, physical abilities, and interests. There is no fixed package. Just a conversation about what matters to you, followed by an itinerary crafted to deliver exactly that.
Guided by Knowledge and Reverence
Our guides bring deep knowledge of biblical history, archaeology, and the traditions of the land. They know which sites are believed to be authentic ancient locations and which reflect later traditions. They present the history honestly and respectfully, helping you form your own connection to each place.
We use language of tradition and scholarship: “tradition holds,” “believed to be,” “may have been the site of.” This honest approach, our guests tell us, makes the experience more powerful, not less.
