Heard from pilgrims
In their own words
AJET has been an amazing partner in helping our church groups to tour Israel for the past three years and we are extremely grateful for their support. We appreciate your continued partnership with us.
It was our fourth trip with AJET and it lived up to our expectations. It was a wonderfully organized tour. In all activities, the guide provided a wealth of information and participated enthusiastically. What a beautiful country.
This is our fifth year bringing a group, and AJET never ceases to surprise us. Choosing to work with them was the best decision we have made. I am already looking forward to the next visit.
Good to know
Questions Protestant pastors and travelers 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.
Are there benefits for group leaders who bring a group?
Yes. We offer complimentary places for group leaders based on the size of the group they bring, so leading a pilgrimage is rewarded, not a burden. The details scale with your group, and we will lay them out clearly when we build your proposal.
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.
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.
How do I pay, and is my payment secure?
When you reserve a journey with a deposit on its tour page, you pay by card, and the payment is processed securely by Square. AJET never sees or stores your card number. Scheduled departures and group bookings are paid through WeTravel, a trusted and secure travel payment platform, by card or bank transfer. Either way, every transaction is documented, we guide you through it, and you always receive a clear receipt.
