A Wonderful Tour to ISRAEL & JORDAN

Led by Ian & Ruth Coffey

Tuesday 13th - Friday 23rd May 2025

It’s hard to put into words the experience of visiting the Holy Land! First timers and seasoned visitors agree, it’s an opportunity not to be missed; truly a holiday of a lifetime.

In 2025, our itinerary takes us to Jordan as well as Israel as we visit key sites mentioned in the Bible.

In addition to the guided tours each day, we give space for personal reflection and times of fellowship as a group. Guests remark this is an added bonus they appreciate.

Whether you are a solo traveller or part of a group, we look forward to welcoming you.

Best wishes

Ian and Ruth Coffey

Our normal procedure is to deal with tips on a group basis and if these are included in the price the tour leader will distribute them to the guide, driver and hotels on your behalf. Individual tipping is not recommended unless the circumstances are exceptional.

Room Check In and Check Out Times
The standard international practice is to let rooms from midday to midday. However times do vary. Check-in times are usually between 2pm and 3pm, check-out times between 11am and 12 noon on the day of departure. Therefore, if you check-in immediately after a night flight this would normally count as one night’s accommodation. Similarly if your return flight is at night you will normally be required to vacate your room at 12 noon prior to leaving for the airport. Day rooms are subject to availability/cost and should be arranged locally with the accommodation management.
