Pastors and group leaders…

This is a wonderful opportunity for you and your spouse to get away – without hosting a group. You’ll experience a real vacation as you explore the roots of much of our Christian faith. And you will definitely experience the EHT difference on an exciting 10-day small-group tour of England and Scotland!

ENGLAND and SCOTLAND….who would not want to go? Click below to check out the Detailed Daily Itinerary.

We have a wonderful 10-day tour planned to England and Scotland at probably the most wonderful time of the year to be there; fewer crowds, clear skies with little to no rain, and beautiful evenings!

Depart on October 23 to London Heathrow, see the sites of London, visit the Cotswolds, Oxford, York, and on to Scotland by train. Visit Braveheart country, Holy Island and old Edinburgh. Included are three nights in London, two nights in York, and three nights in Edinburgh in beautiful 4-Star (not tourist class) hotels. Depart for home from Edinburgh on November 1.

The comprehensive tour itinerary still leaves plenty of leisure time to take in all the quaintness and charm that England and Scotland are famous for. It is fully escorted by a professional Tour Manager from arrival to departure, all baggage handling is included (except for the train station), all entrance fees per the itinerary, deluxe motor coach, great local guides, and more.

Breakfast is included each morning as well as two dinners: a Welcome Dinner on the day of arrival and Farewell Dinner on the evening before departure. Otherwise, with so many dining choices available at different price points, dinners are “on your own” so that you may experience the culinary offerings of England and Scotland like a local. We know you will enjoy the freedom to have dinner when and where you choose.

The cost is just $2999.00 p/p based on 2 persons sharing a room. If you prefer a single room (no roommate), please add $1125.00. The added gratuity amount of $190.00 p/p covers all tips. This is a “Land-Only” price/no airfare is included. Many individuals have points on credit cards and miles with airline mileage programs and request to use them. This is an excellent opportunity to put those miles and points to work. Airfares from the US are quite reasonable into London and out of Scotland this time of year. We see fares from Miami under $1000 on British Air, from Boston under $700, and from New York under $800…all nonstop flights. Of course prices will vary according to the airline. Note: If you prefer that EHT book your tickets, we can certainly do so. Passengers purchasing their own tickets should arrive at London Heathrow by 9:45 am on October 24 and depart Edinburgh after 10:00 am on November 1.

Day One: Depart the US | Day Two: Arrive London and London Introduction Tour. Welcome dinner. | Day Three: London Sightseeing

Pastors/Ministry Leaders Israel FAM Tour 2024

FAM Tour 2024 1 2 4 Itinerary

Jerusalem at Sunset 
ISRAEL FAM TOUR FOR PASTORS & LEADERS 2024
 

January 8-17, 2024. There is no way to adequately explain the significance of experiencing the Holy Land in person. This Deluxe FULL 10-day tour includes round-trip air nonstop from Boston Logan Airport (BOS), excellent hotels, breakfast & dinner daily, over 40 biblical & historical sites, St. Peter’s lunch by the Sea of Galilee, special farewell dinner, latest deluxe motor coach, and top hand-picked Israeli guides. During the entire tour you’ll be treated as a VIP guest of Israel and Ed Hill Tours. The Pastor’s rate is $1699 including international airfare on ELAL Israel Airlines. This is much less than half the price of comparable tours.

Our Israel Pastors FAM (Familiarization) Tour is an opportunity for pastors and tour leaders to enjoy a 10-day Holy Land tour at a significantly reduced rate. The accompanying spouse or staff member rate is $2499. For our January 2024 tour, we’ve planned an inspiring tour which will acquaint participants with Israel, the land of the Bible. Pastors/leaders will also learn various options for hosting their own tour, and get to know EHT owners Richard Page and Meredith Hill Page, who will accompany the tour.

What Is A Pastors “FAM” Tour? If you have never been to Israel, or haven’t gone recently, we invite you to experience the amazing Land of the Bible for yourself. Stand atop Mount Carmel, visit the Mount of Beatitudes, sail on the Sea of Galilee, and tour Masada via cable car. Enter the empty Garden Tomb, walk the streets of Old Jerusalem, visit the Western Wall, pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, view the Shepherd’s Fields, and much more. FAM Tour Itinerary 2024

What makes our FAM Tours different?

  • Our FAM Tours are 10-day tours, not the shorter “Overview Tour” many companies offer.

  • Pastors are never asked to sign a contract or any type of agreement, and are not obligated to travel with EHT in the future.
  • We do not conduct nightly meetings…except for one brief meeting your evenings are free!
  • Pastors who return with at least 20 passengers within 18 months (not the typical 12 months) receive a $1000 refund of their FAM tour cost.
  • Pastors returning with a group travel free – typically based on one free tour for each 5 paying passengers.

Included: Round-trip airfare nonstop from Boston with add-on fares available from your hometown airport, Deluxe and Superior First-Class hotels, full Israeli buffet breakfast and dinner daily, all entrance fees per itinerary, deluxe motor coach, group transfers in Israel, St. Peter’s lunch at the Sea of Galilee, baggage handling on tour, farewell dinner at a top local restaurant, and a licensed hand-picked Israeli tour guide.

Recent Pastors FAM Tour Report

Presbyters and spouses of the Southern New England District

One of our recent Pastors FAM tours was our largest ever! This tour was made up of over 50 pastors and spouses. The “Red” bus was comprised of presbyters of the Southern New England District of the Assemblies of God, led by District Superintendent Bob Wise. The “Blue” bus was comprised of pastors from several denominations. Meredith Hill Page and Richard Page escorted the entire tour. Several pastors have already scheduled to return with groups from their congregations.

“First rate experience. All the accommodations were great, and everything was very well planned. Our Israeli guide and driver obviously had a lot of clout with everyone we met, which says a lot. Richard and Meredith went out of their way to make sure everything was the best it could be. I’ll be sharing my experience with a number of pastors in Louisiana and I’ll have no problem recommending the Pastors FAM trip. My wife and I plan on returning to Israel next year with Ed Hill Tours.” Pastor Ken Sifford

“Just came back from a Pastor’s Familiarization Tour of Israel. What a wonderful company to tour Israel with. Organized, friendly, not a care in the world. Was able to go to Israel and do what I was there to do without worrying about any details. First class people and company with a great heart for God and for pastors.”  Pastor Gary Underwood
