The Christian faith soon started to spread outside the boundaries of Palestine, the land of Jesus. There are many tour companies that do a top rate tour of historical biblical sites. We have found something lacking, however for the religious/spiritual seeker. We are starting a new program where we will customize our tour not only as an exciting excursion through the holyland to the places where the Holy Mother of Jesus lived and died in Ephesus or where John the Beloved experienced revelations or where Paul of Tarsus preached the Good News.
