We had originally booked a trip before the Oct 7 attacks. Philip's House stayed the course with us as the trip got rescheduled postponed, canceled by the airlines, and finally rescheduled again! Wow Philip's House helped guide us all through a difficult season until our original trip could finally be experienced. We had a great time; the guide was an A+ both in historical and biblical knowledge. The hotels were premium and the guest services and food were outstanding. The only knockdown I'd have is that one or two days were spent meeting with local ministries that we could have heard about with a meeting. There was nothing to really see at their sites and time spent there took away from other things we might have experienced. But that can be easily modified in a future trip schedule. I would definitely go with Philip's House again and highly recommend others to do so.

This was truly a trip of a lifetime. Make sure you’re in good walking shape. Some days cover a lot of ground. We joked that the city of Jerusalem is uphill in every direction. “Jerusalem flat” is a 3% grade or better 🤣. Accommodations were first class and the staff were exceptional. The food is diverse and healthy for sure. Our guide Yuval ROCKED! His knowledge is so detailed you’ll learn without realizing you’re learning. Good bless this organization and all those that choose to travel with Phillip’s house.

The accommodations were lovely. The meals provided far exceeded my needs and expectations. Couldn't have wished for a better guide. Eliav demonstrated the utmost patience and concern. He imparted so much knowledge in an interesting and humorous way. The pace was more than I would have liked. There wasn't time to journal and reflect. Only at one site did we have that luxury. Otherwise we were on the bus or walking. I was disappointed that I couldn't really connect with people. That was a major purpose for me going on a trip like this. The churches we visited, we were with only pastors and families in a group setting, and the one church service, we were whisked away immediately. Air travel - having the first leg of our flight there booked on a plane so small that half the passengers were forced to check in their carry-ons. Ours were delayed., along with our luggage for days. I should have booked it myself. This is a trip I will forever remember. I am grateful to have a better idea of the situation in the country, and vivid pictures of the regions where Scriptures took place.

Memorable and impactful trip. Grateful for the opportunity. Enjoyed seeing both the historical and modern aspects of Israel's culture. Didn't feel the daily rallies were necessary. Would have enjoyed it more if there were an opening and closing ceremony, and daily WhatsApp video updates from Mike Evans for the balance of the week. Seemed like some of the rally venues were overwhelmed and unprepared for the number of attendees, specifically the closing dinner at the Jerusalem Civic Auditorium. Wish there were more opportunities for one-on-one interaction and conversation with Israeli families and individuals.

Absolutely LOVED my first trip to Israel. I came away with a new perspective on the people of Israel, the land of Israel and scripture has come alive in a new, refreshing way! I will be back, and will be bringing friends with me. Thankful to Philip's House for all the arrangements made. Communication was clear, all things were taken care of, and we were greeted with customized cup of specialty coffee at the airport! Looking forward to our next trip!
