The Security was excellent and friendly. We had a great driver and Guide! We always felt safe! We would love to come back.
Russ & Carolyn Nail, Clearwater, FL- 5/18/11

Before we arrived in Israel I was a little apprehensive from all the press and the reputation of the area. I was very impressed with the security and never felt unsafe in any areas we visited. I would tell others to 'go on faith', just enjoy your trip, why worry when God is in control. Thank you for the trip of a Lifetime!!!
Ben Wright, Dallas Texas- 5/18/11

I recommend anyone who has a desire to visit the Holy Land to plan on coming. It is such a wonderful place and was an awesome experience. I want to come back. Our guide, driver, and the EO team were wonderful and super helpful.
Corrie Pittman, Goose Creek, SC- 5/15/2011

I felt very safe and never once had a concern. I would tell others that for Christians, this is a must!! You will never feel the same. This has truly been a life defining trip for me. Thank you!
Peggy Jones-Hinton, Princeton, NC- 5/16/11

I never in the least felt that my security was compromised. Not only is Israeli security top-notch, our tour guide did an exemplory job of looking out for our welfare. I have traveled all over the world including Russia, China, & Ghana;

I've never seen security like Israel has. I have feared for my life in an inner-city trip in the U.S. but never while traveling or sight-seeing in Israel. It was a phenomenal trip!

Overall evaluation of the program:

I just got back from my tour yesterday (HL Classic) and just wanted to say what a wonderful time I had. My tour guide was Mike Tahhan. He was awesome! Mike is so knowledgeable not only about the religious history, but the history in general. He is so enthusiastic about his job, you can tell he loves what he does. I've been to other locations around the world, but this was the trip of a lifetime for me and Mike made it that much more special. I also want to say that our driver, Ishmael, was also wonderful. He is an amazing driver and so accommodating. Your hospitality teams were also a nice touch. Thank you for a wonderful travel experience!

Overall evaluation of the Holy Land program:
E.O. must know that our guide, Nader, was absolutely GREAT! I have travelled to the Holy Land many times with E.O.

--this guide was the best. He was knowledgeable, extremely caring of everyone on the bus. His language skills and sense of humor made it a joy to be with him. His love of God, the land and our group was so evident. He managed to always work the schedule to our advantage. As the bus captain, I am so impressed with Nader and our driver, Said. If we stayed at five-star hotels, Nader was a six-star guide. Hopefully he will be a blessing to E.O. for many years to come.

What spiritual blessings did you receive from this trip?
The trip had many profound moments for me, both emotionally and spiritually. The Bible itself came alive to an even greater extent after actually being in the places Jesus walked. I could logistically see the distance between the Garden of Gethsemane and the Temple in Jerusalem, the Sea of Galilee in relation to the Mt. of Beatitudes, etc. Awesome, simply awesome.
Mrs Carol Y Tate

Tour Host Comment:
In summary, thanks again for making a wonderful trip out of what could have been a total disaster. Since returning, I did hear of one company who ignored their people in Egypt after the protests became dangerous. They did not help them at all to get out of the country. I know it took much time and money to do what you at EO did. We will always be grateful for your attention to our safety, the fact that most of the people on our tour have made this trip "once in a lifetime" and appreciate all you've done to treat us with respect and dignity.

Holy_Land Classic Tour – 02/01/11

Overall evaluation of the Holy Land program:
EO had to deal with multple last-minute changes to make this trip a success. Unrest in Egypt forced last-minute cancellations of our Nile cruise, and weather in Newark resulted in cancellation of our flights to Israel. EO's ability to reschedule all flights, hotels, and tour bookings, as well as make all the necessary travel and VISA arrangements to allow unplanned Jordan extensions, and to do this all without missing any events on the originally planned itinerary, was truly noteworthy.

I was very impressed with EO and our tour, I would highly recommend it to others. We were quickly informed when our return flight was delayed and EO took care of us until we left. The guides were outstanding and the hotels in Amman and Jerusalem were also outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

What would you improve about the Jordan portion of the tour?
Nothing, it was fabulous. I did not know much about Jordan before we went and it is a wonderful country. Our guide Firas was outstanding, he is a wonderful ambassador for his country. He was very professional and knowledgeable. The hotel was outstanding. I am so glad we went to Jordan as well as Israel.
Geene Mrs Lisa Ann

What would you improve about the Jordan portion of the tour?
The Regency Palace was a lovely hotel, we had an excellent knowledgable guide, the tours of Petra and Jerash were high points, and visiting Jordan gave us a slightly different perspective on the mid-east.

My wife and I experienced a new appreciation for all that Christ did to gain our salvation. The Bible, both O.T. and N.T., came alive as we walked the lands of the Bible stories we know and love.
Overall evaluation of the Holy Land program:
My wife and I gained new knowledge of the geography of the Holy Land and how the Biblical events occurred. Our guide did a wonderful job of connecting the O.T., N.T, and A.D. history. The organization was superb and ALL went so smoothly. Our guide made it fun and exciting and we had such a great variety of experiences.

What spiritual blessings did you receive from this trip?
The visit to the Garden Tomb touched my heart and I truly realized what my Lord and Savior sacraficed

for a miserable sinner like me.

Overall evaluation of the Holy Land program:
The knowledge of our guide Mike Abu Libdeh was excellant. He bought the Holy_Land and the timeline from its begining to present time to life for me. His insight provided a better understanding to the Holy_Lands trail and tribulations. It was thrilling to walk and learn in the footsteps of Jesus and a privilege to weep at his tomb in the garden. The skill of our driver, Adnan Kawasme, was excellant. At no point during the trip did I fear for my safety, because I knew that both Mike and Adnan would not put us in any jepordy and that they could handle any problems that could arise with the utmost skill and professionalism. When I take my next trip to the Holy Land having them as a team on the bus I take would be a major consideration.
Adkins Mrs Lynda K

What spiritual blessings did you receive from this trip?
I now can visualize places in the Bible as I'm reading and can appreciate the struggles the ancient peoples faced. It was wonderful to see the places that Jesus visited and particularly to walk on the very path he surely took in the VAlley of the Winds and the Doves.
Going with a Christian group and a Christian tour group is THE way to see Israel. I loved the prayers, devotions, singing in the various churches, and particularly partaking of communion at the Garden Tomb. I think we were well grounded and meditative enough to be able to get through the Egypt part of the trip with calmness (not that we weren't terrified!) and grace. Our pastor and other travellers were a great help.
Shanks Mrs Arminda N
Holy_Land Classic Tour - 011811A


What spiritual blessings did you receive from this trip?
It was so awe inspiring to be in the land where Jesus lived and where he actually walked. Wisam and Ed helped to explain why some of the Bible events happened as they did.
I really was blessed to have devotions on these holy places. Thank you, Bro Ed!
The trip brought home to me 2 facts especially...I am close to our Lord wherever I am and our Lord does not need a loud speaker to hear our prayers.
It is also a blessing to be able to visualize these places as I study the Bible.
Overall evaluation of the Holy Land program:
This tour cannot be better! The days just seemed to fall into place, although I know there was planning..Wisam and Ed Crump used their talents to allow us maximum learning, visiting, and enjoying the Holy Land.
This was a trip of a lifetime..thank you so much, Wisam and Ed and EO!

]What would you improve about the Egypt portion of the tour?
I have nothing to add for improvement.
I just want to you to know how well we were taken care of by the guides and driver in Egypt. We had a wonderful tour of Cairo and then a great cruise. We had to fly from Aswan to Cairo to catch our flight back to the US. A guide, Wellid, and our original driver, Yasir met us at the Cairo airport when we arrived from Aswan. We found out our flight was not going to leave as scheduled. Wellid and Yasir made sure we were safe and as comfortable as possible. They took us to a nearby hotel. There were no rooms, but we were able to stay in the lobby all night. It was better than having to stay at the airport. The guide and driver stayed with us at the hotel. There was a curfew. The next morning they took us back to the airport and stayed with us until they knew we were getting on board the flight. I cannot say how much these two men helped us during this time of uncertainty. They could have just as well not met us at the airport and stayed with their families. Once on board our flight to the US, the pilot told us that we were on the last Delta flight out of Cairo indefinitely. We were lucky to make the flight.
When we arrived in NY, of course, we had missed our flights the day before. We expected we would have to make new arrangements to get back to our final destinations. To our surprise new flight arrangements were already made. The Lyles were going on that night, but we had to wait until the next morning for our flight to Nashville. We were given hotel, meal and taxi vouchers. I do not know if these arrangements were made by EO or Delta, but it was greatly appreciated.
We had a trip of a lifetime. Our tour of Israel was wonderful. The Egypt extension was also a wonderful, wonderful trip. We were out of Cairo before the demonstrations began and our cruise was not affected at all. Our only problem came trying to get our flight back to the US out of Cairo. I have to say we were well cared for and we wanted EO to know how the guides and driver made sure we were safe.

Actually seeing Jesus life in person gives me new meaning to my Bible readings. It was an experience that I will NEVER forget. The hilight of a lifetime!!!
Overall evaluation of the Holy_Land program:
This trip was the highlight of my travel life. It was a very emotional trip for me and I wouldn't change a thing. The physical effort required was higher than I expected but I would do it all over for the pleasure it brought me. Our guide Wisam was incredible and I would insist on him again if I traveled there. Our bus driver Assad was also very pleasant to travel with. The only small change I would offer is to tell prospective clients that it REALLY will cost 3 thousand dollars instead of 2 thousand. We were all right but some might be a little unprepared. E.O. gets a huge star in my book for this trip.

The fellowship with other tourists groups was outstanding.

Our trip to the Holy Land and Petra was again a wonderful experience. We love Israel and know it is the land that God calls Holy. It has always been an honor to take people for this very special visit. My joy is seeing their joy and seeing their eyes open to the scripture . God has laid on my heart each trip we have taken in the past twenty years. Thank you for making this all come together for us and taking good care of our group. We always feel safe and happy in the Holy Land. Shalom
Rev Sammy B Foster
Holy_Land Classic Tour - 110110F

What spiritual blessings did you receive from this trip?
This was my 6th Pilgrimage, and very possibly the best. In some places we are looking at 5000 years of Biblical history being unveiled by the archaeologists. As you embrace your faith in God with scriptures at each stop, it is as though the land itself is speaking to you. Truly the "Stones Cry Out" with their history, and that history becomes forever imbedded in your heart and spirit. I will never grow weary of every opportunity to revisit my Spiritual Homeland and share that experience with all who travel with me.
Overall evaluation of the Holy_Land program:
Without a doubt, EO offers the finest Holy Land Tour packages available. Some of our group had been to Israel before on tours that were sponsored by "Famous Ministries". To a person, they have expressed their amazement with the Quality of this tour. They particularly praised the knowledge and leadership of our guide, David Aarons. This was my 3rd time to have David as the guide on a Holy Land tour and I hope to get to use him as long as he is guiding. I have used other guides, but none of them has fulfilled the needs of the group as David does. Everyone at EO: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Mrs Teri S Zeigler
Holy_Land Classic Tour - 112910A

What spiritual blessings did you receive from this trip?
The trip to the Holy Land was truly a blessing. Each day offered something that opened a new level of understanding that I did not have before. Mass is always special to me, but Mass in the Holy Land at the Garden of Gethsemane and at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was amazing. Experiencing the Holy Land in person gives me a new vantage point when reading the Bible that I did not have before. Jesus is present no matter where we are located - as close as his name in our hearts, minds and on our lips. But, by being personally present in the land where Jesus lived, walked, ate, prayed, ministered, died & resurrected is special beyond explanation.

The excitement of walking on the dust that might have been shared with the sandals of Jesus and his disciples, and possibly King David, was humbling. Seeing the area from Mt. Nebo where Moses saw the Promised Land was particularly exciting!

Hi There! I wanted to send a note to you to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed our EO experience. It was truly a life changing 10 days. We were part of the trip that arrived in Amman, Jordan Feb. 7 and left from Amman Feb. 15.

I want to express to you how phenomenal our guides were for both parts of our trip.
This was just what I was hungry for and hoping to get from my first time to the Holy_Land. I so appreciated his knowledge of all aspects of Israel i.e. Biblical, archeological even botanical! All of this made the stories of the Bible that I have cherished all my life take on so much more depth and meaning! Really, I am blown away by my time there and so much of it has to do with the wonderful guides we we were privileged to have. Thank you so much! I am recommending EO to everyone I know. I can't imagine going to the Holy_Land any other way!

Mrs. Laura Muench
What would you tell others about this trip?
Our guide was superb. First time that a guide actually had true knowledge of what he was talking about. Many guides out there you can't understand them and are not knowledgeable of the area etc. Also people asked me about how security was for for the trip and honestly I had to tell them that I didn't even think about it anytime on the trip, never entered my mind. I would definetly take another tour with EO. Thank you for a wonderful experience.06/26/10

A much better understanding of the era of Jesus, what he was trying to do in the circumstances of the time, an even deeper understanding of God's gift and the obedience exemplified by His Son, and the message He was delivering from His Father.

Overall evaluation of the Holy Land program:

Because of excellence of our guide (Mike Tahhan)and sequence of sites, the trip was really meaningful and puts you in the time of Jesus and gives you a much better understanding of the Holy Land region itself as it existed in those days. The trip also gave us a better understanding of the current political problems faced for the peoples of this region.

What spiritual blessings did you receive for this trip?

I got the opportunity to experience what life was like in the time of our lord Jessu Christ via the landscapes and excellent lectures of our tour guide and tour captain. I learned to be more aware of my capacity for intolerance. I had some narrow views of the holy land based on slanted newscasts and some research, however after taking this trip and talking to locals, I realize that matters in the holy land are much more complex. I learned that I should pray more to ask the lord to help me look at things more objectively and not rely solely on my temporal senses and sources.

First and foremost, our guide, Mike Tahhan, was a huge blessing! His knowledge of the Bible and history was phenomenal and he was always great about answering our many questions. He had a wonderful sense of humor, as did our bus driver, Ishmael, and they made a great pair! I'm so THRILLED that Mike was our guide!

Overall evaluation of the Holy Land program:

I'm so thrilled that I was able to participate in this tour! Although sometimes I feel we had to rush from place to place so we could stay on schedule (I wished that we had more time in some places), I still thought it was awesome. Again, our guide, Mike Tahhan, was amazing and I'm so glad that he was assigned to our group. I can't imagine anyone being better than he was!

A much closer relationship with Christ simply by possibly walking in his footsteps. The Bible was truly brought to life and took on new meaning. David was an excellent guide, extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his explanation of events and sites we visited.

 Overall evaluation of the Holy Land program:

Very pleased. Very minor complaints. Our bus driver, Halead, was simply wonderful---the best! He eagerly transported us with great ease through the cities and was a pleasure to be around. The cities we visited were, for the most part, of much help in drawing us nearer to our connection with Jesus. I would highly recommend this tour to others.

Being able to read the scriptures in a new and different way. Actually seeing the places in my mind as I now read about them.The sea of Galilee and being around it and the towns where Jesus walked.

We enjoyed the trip so much. We would highly recommend this to anyone who is able to do some walking. Keep up the good work.

An appreciation of the sacrifrice Jesus Christ made for leaving the splendor of heaven to walk this earth and teach us more about the Father and His unfailing love for us sinners saved by His grace.

Overall evaluation of the Holy Land program:
It was AWESOME!!! I realy enjoyed having Mike as our guide. He was very personable and was able to answer all of the our questions, no matter how basic or advanced they were. He really showed he cared about us by making sure we were all ok, adjusting our schedule based on the ability of the group (i.e., going down hill instead of up). He made us always feel safe, too. I will highly recommend EO and will suggest people request him as a guide. Adbulah was wonderful with the bus... you'd think he was driving a Mini Cooper! He was very accommodating and helped ensure we were all entering and exiting the bus safely. He even spotted Ibex on the side of the road and safely pull over for us to look at them. All in all it was a wonderful program.

Grace, Faith and a life time experience I will never forget. Blessings to have a tour guide who was very well read and full of enthusiasm, patience to explain in details about the entire places we visited. He made the Bible become alive His name was Nadder.
