In their own words

We had Shlomi as our guide and escort. He did an extremely good job. There aren't enough words to describe him! It was a blessing to be on that group. I appreciate everything you did to make our trip so wonderful.

This was my first time in Israel, and I absolutely LOVED it. I was impressed by how smoothly everything went. Each and every one of your team members are simply amazing. What a nice agent. Thanks a lot.

Aaron is an awesome guide. The depth of his knowledge, patience, and care is beyond description. AJET management is extremely professional. Your hospitality made us think of coming back. Thank you.

Questions Catholic priests and pilgrims ask

Can our own leader guide the group spiritually?

Absolutely, and we encourage it. Your own leader guides the worship, the devotions, and the spiritual life of the group. Our role is to carry every logistic so they are free to shepherd their people, not to manage buses and bookings.

Can you arrange special spiritual moments, like baptism renewal or a private service?

Yes, and these are often the moments people remember most. Renewal of baptismal vows in the Jordan River, communion at the Garden Tomb, a private Mass or worship service at a holy site, group prayer at the Western Wall. Tell us what matters to your group, and we arrange it in advance.

Can we meet local Christian communities while we are there?

Yes, if you would like to. Meeting the living Christian communities of the Holy Land, sometimes called the living stones, adds a dimension many pilgrims treasure. We can build these encounters into your journey where they fit, so the land feels alive, not only ancient.

What are the hotels like?

Comfortable, clean, and well located, chosen so you rest well and wake near the places you have come to see. Most journeys use first class, four-star hotels, with a tourist class option if your group prefers. Daily breakfast and dinner are included, so you are cared for from morning to night.

How do I book a pilgrimage with AJET?

It starts with a conversation, not a checkout. You tell us who is traveling and what you are hoping for, and we prepare a tailored proposal at no cost or obligation. When you are ready, a signed form and a deposit confirm your place, and we take care of the rest from there. If you have already chosen a journey, many tour pages also let you pick your dates and reserve with a card deposit straight away.

How much is the deposit, and when is the balance due?

The deposit is shown on each tour page, typically 300 or 400 US dollars per person, and it secures your place on the journey. The remaining balance is due 60 days before departure, and the exact schedule is set out clearly in your proposal, with no hidden dates. We will always remind you in good time, so nothing is ever a surprise.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Our full cancellation terms are set out plainly in your proposal, with clear timeframes rather than vague fine print. The closer to departure a cancellation happens, the more of the trip cost is already committed to hotels and services, so terms reflect that. If you reserve a journey online without a fixed departure date and we cannot confirm dates that match yours, your deposit is returned in full. Beyond the written policy, our record on treating people fairly speaks for itself, including refunding travelers in full during a genuine wartime disruption.
