Israel, the Holy Land
Shalom Christian Friend:
Whether you're a Pastor looking to organize a group tour of the Holy Land for your Church, an individual looking to tour Israel's Christian heritage on your own, a Protestant, Catholic, Lutheran or anything else in between: When working with Scopia LLC you are a friend who has slowly over time put penny-to-penny and saved for a long-awaited journey of faith. A friend who deserves respect and my attention to your wishes, dreams, requirements, preferences and budget.
With over 23 years of experience in travel and tourism to Israel, Jordan, Egypt and other wonderful Mediterranean destinations, I can help you make the most out of your tour in terms of quality, quantity and
budget. Here are some reasons to consider Scopia LLC when choosing a company for your group or individual tour:
The Christian and other historical sites in Israel are known to everyone. The question is - what happens in between those sites? My tours are based on the major sites, but also include "hidden gems" which should be visited by all tourists, regarding of religion. These include places of art, nature, good food and opportunities to see Israel at ground level, not just from the bus.
Scopia's tours may seem slightly more expensive because they are much more expansive. Travel insurance, bus to/from the airport in your home city, convenient flights, good hotels, excellent, happy guides and drivers (see below), modern buses, meals, experiences, tips, entrance fees and much more - It's all included in your tour cost. There is no "magic" in the costs of tourism to Israel and there are usually reasons why some tours cost much less than others. Those are usually not good reasons at all.
A word about the guides and drivers: Some companies will offer you cheaper prices for the tour of Israel, based entirely on paying their touring staff nothing (or close to it) in terms of a salary, forcing the guide and driver to live purely off of your tips or commissions from shops. I ask you, how do you feel about this? Is your wish to pay the cheapest price for a product, worth taking advantage of the crew? As a good Christian, I know your answer is "no". You want your guide and driver to be happy people, able to pay their mortgage and bills, put the son through college and work with dignity. Just like you. Further, these tours - based on the "tips only" to pay the crew - are usually laden with dozens of shopping stops along the way to increase commissions. Is that what you want your tour to look like?
The hotels used by Scopia LLC are of the highest quality. Not necessarily by star ranking, b
ut because they have been proven, time and again, to provide clients with the best location, services and food. Why pay less to find yourself and your group in some forsaken are of town where walking around at night is impossible and every trip to the center requires a bus or taxi? On the other hand, why pay more for a tiny room in a 5-Star property? You want to find the best deals on location, quality, size of rooms and amenities. That's where Scopia LLC can help you most.
Christian tourists have a term: "Churched out", meaning their tour is a faded collection of memories, running from one Church to another to the point where nothing makes sense. "This is where Jesus was born. This is where Jesus died. This where Jesus hid. This is where Jesus revealed himself. This is where he was baptized. This is where he walked on the water." Give yourself a break - Literally. Don't make your tour a somber journey through the life of Jesus and Mary. Rejoice in it! Have some fun, learn new things, give thanks for the beauty of God's nature by hiking a bit, take some time to relax on the beach, visit the hidden areas in the Galilee or the Negev Desert, eat at good restaurants...Scopia LLC can make it happen.
Organizing a tour to the Holy Land is no easy task, especially for Christian groups. Airline reservations, itinerary, promotion, collecting deposits, rooming lists - it seems like it's a full time job. Relax. That's what Scopia LLC is here to do - make your life easier. Your tour will get it's own web page where members can sign up, read about the itinerary, find out about different options for extensions and much more.
If you're going to fly all the way to Israel, why not add another fascinating destination to your itinerary? Scopia LLC has friends who operate tours in different countries - They are all the most professional, honest, caring and hard working tour operators you have ever met. Try Scopia for tour extensions to Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, Italy (including mainland and Sicily) and the beautiful island nation of Malta. Jesus may have started everything in Israel and Jordan but Christianity spread through the Roman empire like wild fire once it was picked up by the emperor Constantine, thanks to the help of the disciple Paul. Scopia LLC can help you put it all together easily and with fair prices.
