Israel Tour 2023
Well planned and executed tour. The logistics support was very good (ie air travel carriers, bus tour company, room and board accommodations. Tour guide (Anna) was exceptional. She provided valuable insights into Jewish history, archeological background of sites visited, and biblical references. Also made tie to current day Israeli political and cultural environment. I don't normally give five star ratings for events like this, but this trip hit the mark to deserve this rating. Also must mention Pastor Chris's planning and involvement made the difference between a good and exceptional outcome. Room for improvement comments: 1) size of our group (53) was a bit large.
