Thank you for opening my eyes

Tony,

I returned from my pilgrimage to the Holy Land last Friday and wanted to share my thanks for such a incredible adventure.

First, your on-the-ground staff was so very knowledgeable and accommodating to our every need. I truly enjoyed how Rami worked to tie together different evidence supporting with we were seeing: the Bible, known practices from the era, Jewish law, different interpretations of linguistics, etc... This collection of evidence really made everything 'come alive'. Rami's insights on how we could most efficiently enjoy the many sites was also beneficial. Every day was action-packed! The guys collectively made an outstanding team, & I look forward to receiving the video and pictures.

I realize that lunch was not originally included in the package we signed up for, even though you provided it every day. I very much appreciate your taking care of this for us, both from a financial perspective as well as another means of minimizing 'hassle' for we tourists. The food was delicious and, more importantly, was a much more efficient way for the group to eat, allowing us more time for sight seeing. Thank you!

The guides to get us through the airport, both on arrival and departure in Tel Aviv were very valued. Being in a foreign land where locals may or may not speak English can be intimidating and these people were very helpful resources.

If you have any need for in-person testimonials in the Chicago area, I will be happy to share my experience.

As a result of this trip, I also have a better appreciation for the Palestinian situation and will be looking for ways that I can spread the word and support the Palestinian cause. Thank you for opening my eyes.

I wish you and your team the best of luck, & look forward to receiving information on the 2023 trip to Greece.

With warm regards,

Tamara Peterson
