My husband and I have been to Israel many times, hosting church groups, and have always appreciated all that a tour of the Holy Land has to offer. However, I had never experienced the personal service provided by Linda and her agency as this was our first trip with the company. Not only did we have an extremely knowledgeable and energetic guide, we were lead through Israel by a loving Christian man who took the time to get to know us and minister to us.
We also had the honor of having Linda join us on our excursion. The care she provided was absolutely amazing. I was so impressed with the details that were attended to so that we could see all the sites in a comfortable manner. Traveling in July meant that we were often searching for cool areas to gather around for teachings and for meals. Our guide thoughtfully sought out these places, including calling ahead to secure lunch accommodations. In addition, the bus we traveled in was well maintained and driven by an extremely competent man. I can speak for the group in saying that we always felt safe in the care of Alpha 2 Omega Travel.
Touring as much of Israel as possible in two weeks is a challenge. My husband worked with Linda to maximize our experiences for each day. Our itinerary was arranged as we requested. We spent four nights in the Galilee region, two nights at the Dead Sea, and five nights in Jerusalem. Each hotel accommodated us well, providing us with large buffets of food for breakfast and dinner. The days were filled with visits to historical, spiritual, and nature sites. The evenings were times to reflect on the day and share with our fellow travelers. We were able to relax each evening, knowing that Linda had the next day taken care of for us.
We plan to travel with Alpha 2 Omega Travel again. There is still so much more to see and do. Linda's knowledge of the region and her enthusiasm for arranging tours is contagious. I hope many more will take the opportunity to discover the Holy Land with Alpha 2 Omega Travel. - Susan Clark, Church of the Valley, Apple Valley, CA

I never thought I'd be able to do this but with my Pastor, Mike Clark, working with Linda at Alpha 2 Omega Travel, my dream came true. To be able to see many of the Holy Land sites is a very surreal feeling. Knowing that this is where the events of the bible took place still has me awestruck. Linda's knowledge of the many areas of Israel and her work with the hotels, restaurants and special events made my first trip with a tour group a memorable one. I can't wait for my next opportunity for a trip to Israel! - Lori Anderson, Apple Valley, CA

With a group of about 15 amazing people it was easy to get to know each other. Within a very short time we were indeed a family traveling together. This trip was definitely a bucket list item for me. My expectations were met and exceeded. Linda and her team are truly amazing. Each day was an exciting adventure visiting places we have only read about in the Bible and history books. I truly felt God's presence with me everywhere I went.
The weather was perfect for November. Of course I live in the desert so it was like home to me. We stayed in three different hotels each one quite unique but definitely having first class accommodations. I have never experienced the variety of food selections as we had for each meal. During the day we visited a local restaurant near where we were traveling. Linda picked places that provided us with quick service and delicious food.
As I now prepare my photos and other memorabilia for making my travel photo album I am reflecting upon what I saw and experienced during the eight day stay. First of all, I must say that all of the planning and the execution of the details were done in a professional caring manor. Linda choice of guide for us was perfect. As a Christian Shahdi read pertinent scripture to enhance each destination. He always allowed us the time necessary to visit each site, often times giving us extra time for personal reflection and devotion.
Having a pastor with us made it all the more special. During these days we were able to share our faith with one another, experiencing the joy and the special love that comes with being Christian family. Of all the many memories I have, several stand out that still give me goosebumps. Our special communion service on the shore of the Sea of Galillee being watched by several small animals who did not move during the whole time. Since I was a baby when I was baptized and have no recollection of it, Pastor Paul gave the others and me the unique opportunity to reaffirm our baptism in the Jordan River.
I will definitely sing the praises of Linda and her staff for one of the best trips I have ever taken. Now I will be able to give more of an eye witness account of the places I have seen in Israel. - Libby Williams, Helendale, Ca

The people, the food, the history, everything. The country just consumes you when you are there. It was a trip of a lifetime for me and I cannot wait to go back. From Jerusalem, walking thru the old city and seeing the Dome of the Rock, the Al-Aska Mosque, the Wailing Wall, looking over the Mt of Olives, walking the way of the cross thru the Arab markets, and going and visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. In Bethlehem we went to the Church of the Nativity and was able to touch the place where they say Jesus was born. The church itself is so beautiful. On to Masada and the Dead Sea. What a beautiful trip that was, the barren massive mountain on one side and the Dead Sea on the other. Once you got up to Masada you could see for miles. It was beautiful. Floating in the Dead Sea was so much fun. We also stopped by the Jordan river where they say John the Baptist baptized Jesus. Pastor Nelson, who was the pastor with us on our journey, reaffirmed all of our baptism in the Jordan. The overwhelming feeling you get while it is happening is something I will never forget. On to Tiberius and traveling thru all the lush farmland, I did not realize they grew so much food there. Our hotel in Tiberius was across from the Sea of Galilee and waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the mountains was spectacular. Going to the Mt of Beatitudes and standing on top and looking over the Sea of Galilee was a sight to behold. We also took communion on the shores of the Sea of Galilee with an audience of small critters observing, again something I will never forget.
Linda and her team are excellent and they take care of everything. You will not want for anything. Our bus driver Sami was so funny and he was an excellent driver. The way he gets that big bus in and out of places was a sight to behold in itself. And Shadi, our guide was so knowledgeable about everything we saw and everywhere we went. They both taught me to see Arabs in a whole new light. I will definitely return one day and Alpha 2 Omega Travel will be my first call. - Kathy Marietta, OH, USA
