We have been traveling the world together as a family for over 25 years. We usually travel independently, planning our trips around cultural and historical dialogue and understanding.

 

For our first family trip to Israel, we joined a large tour designed for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  While the tour provided sufficient introduction to the country and basic Old and New Testament connections, the experience wasn't as enriching and comprehensive as we had hoped. We came to the realization that understanding and appreciating the Holy Land could be enhanced with a smaller tour size that incorporated culture, politics, and history along with significant religious insights. 

 

The creation of Olive Trees Travel is the result of our love of the Holy Land and our excitement to introduce you to this fascinating part of the world.
