A trip of a lifetime, in their words

What a great experience we had from you and your team. We enjoyed staying downtown with access to everything it has to offer. Yossef and Samer were awesome guides. We feel like family.

I have traveled with Epic Tours Jerusalem twice, and every tour was unique! It felt like no matter how many times I come to a tour, there is always something new to learn and beauty to contemplate at the different sites we are taken to!

Epic Tours Jerusalem — wow, amazing tour! Our favorite was the boat ride on the Galilee… or maybe Jerusalem??? Okay… we can't decide! But amazing! Thank you for a great tour.

I went expecting spiritual experiences and being able to see where Jesus had walked, and this tour definitely exceeded my expectations!! When I read my Bible today, it meant so much more to me because I had just been to and actually saw that place! Everything about this tour was so well planned, I felt perfectly safe at all times, and I 100% recommend it!!

It not only covers historical and archeological information but it's a deep spiritual journey as well. When I read The Bible, especially the Old Testament, it is going to come alive and be so much more meaningful and recognizable. No more imagining the places. Now I can "remember" the places. Thank you Epic Tours for the trip of a lifetime. 5 stars to you.

The trip was everything we were looking for! We thoroughly enjoyed every site we visited and would highly recommend it to anyone. All we can say is "thanks" for the trip of a lifetime!!

I was expecting a life changing event and indeed it was!! Epic Tours made this experience so much more than what I expected!! The care, passion and the expertise of our guides was unique and I wouldn't go with any other for future visits.

Our July 2023 Israel–Jordan tour experience was incredible. Our tour guide in Israel was Asher, who was very personable, and had so much historical information regarding each site we visited. In Jordan, our guide was Saber, who also did a fantastic job. Our tour guides and Janet Trout made sure our group had the best experience possible. The food was excellent… Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner! Hotel accommodations were excellent. We stayed in hotels overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Sea of Galilee, and the Dead Sea, among others. Visiting the Temple Mount, the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Upper Room, Golgotha & the Garden Tomb was awesome. Praying at the Western Wall was moving. The Sea of Galilee boat ride was also a highlight. We had a fantastic group to travel with and made many new friends. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend Epic Tours!

I can't believe this amazing experience is over. Thank you Janet and team for orchestrating our vacation with so many highlights I find it difficult in choosing what I loved the most. Before leaving to Israel many said to be safe because of all that was going on there. I can comfortably say danger was never an issue throughout our journey. This was my first time traveling internationally and I'm so glad we chose Epic Tours to take care of all the details from planning tours and meals to having nice accommodations. Thank you again for making this trip seamless allowing us to enjoy our time together making many wonderful memories.

Our tour experience was amazing. The guide in Jerusalem Asher was amazing, great historical and Christian information on each site we visited. In Jordan our guide Saber was amazing. Both of our guides took care of us to make sure we got the right pricing when purchasing souvenirs. The food was excellent, new food choices, accommodating of food allergies. Food and Hotels 5 star all the way. If we had an option for 10 star I would have made that choice. The Sea of Galilee boat ride was a highlight, so was the Garden tomb, the tour at the Temple Mount, praying at the Western wall. It was a trip of a lifetime. Epic Tours has become our agency to reach out to for future tours.

This experience was and certainly will be an unforgettable experience. To watch each day with the word of God coming alive, and to feel the presence of the Lord was so real. I have been honoured and privileged to hear the in-depth knowledge and history of this nation. Grateful for the Epic Tours, our guide Asher, Sis Trout and Sis Marquez. This was the best ever! I highly recommend anyone who wishes to visit the Holy Land to go through Epic Tours Jerusalem because it will truly be EPIC. God Bless.

This trip was beyond anything I could express. It was beautiful, wonderful, life changing and awe inspiring. The presence of God is palpable, the people are so kind and most importantly the word of God comes alive right before your eyes. I cannot recommend going highly enough, it will be worth it in every way and you will never be the same! I am so thankful and honored I got to go and be a part of Epic Tours. As Sis Trout will tell you, "it never gets old." If you have always wanted to go to Israel now is the time, so many amazing things are taking place, you will not be disappointed. God bless!

When I was teaching yesterday, I got so excited and said, "Oh, I seen this!" Everyone said that my eyes light up when I talk about Jerusalem or Sea of Galilee. Reading the Bible now is just fascinating!!! It makes sense to me now! I know that may sound horrible coming from a preacher's daughter or a licensed minister, but the Bible has truly come to life for me! Thank you is not enough words. It feels inadequate. Thank you for inviting us! I'm truly changed.

Although I was excited I didn't really know what to expect leading up to this trip, but any expectations were far exceeded. The trip was well planned, timed, and jam packed full of amazing sites and Biblical history. The guides were so informative and such wonderful teachers. The accommodations and food were fantastic, you can tell so much thought and preparation has gone into planning your tour. I unfortunately had an issue with my luggage but Epic Tours took such good care of me and my situation and I didn't have to miss any of the tour as they took care of everything. If you're planning on going to the Middle East, definitely book with Epic Tours Jerusalem — you won't regret it!

I wanted to experience Jerusalem & the Jordan with my family, and we got more than we hoped for. This tour was beyond AMAZING. The guides, accommodations, locations, and services were outstanding. This event will never be forgotten. We appreciate Epic Tours for transforming our lives. We not only established new connections, but we will no longer read the Bible in the same manner moving forward. Shalom Shalom!

It was an absolutely fabulous trip! Your abundance of knowledge in every area was such an inspiration. I am sending my heartfelt gratitude for giving me The Best of The Best! There was NOTHING that was not tended to. Your gifts of organization, listening, information given, God's Word made so clear — my heart is so full of appreciation and thankfulness. Epic Tours is a Piece of Heaven on Earth — it was perfect in every way! May God continue to bless you for all the gifts you give away!

I just returned from my second trip to Israel/Jordan. My wife and I were hosts to a great group of friends. Dr. Trout and all the Epic Tours people exceeded my expectations once again. Asher, our guide and friend, was in top form, as usual. These two combine to form a fountain of wisdom from every angle: archeological, spiritual, and historical. We drank from that fountain till we overflowed. If you would like to do more than open your Bible, this is the tour for you. Your Bible will mean more to you than ever before. I highly recommend Epic Tours for your trip to the Holy Land.

April 15–28, 2023. If you need the Bible to come to life, this is the trip for you! The knowledge of guide Asher and Dr. Trout, who shared historical sights and biblical scriptures in Israel, wove together all our biblical understanding. Attention to details, jam packed days, outstanding accommodations and amazing food surpassed our expectations. Then to be able to rest and relax at the Dead Sea on the last few days was a treat! It was a trip of a lifetime. My Bible studies will forever be enhanced by what I saw and heard!

I was looking for a spiritual awakening, stepping in the footprints of Jesus. Every expectation was far exceeded within the first 6 days. I'd rate our tour a 10/10. Sis Trout and her team went above and beyond to see every need was met. What a trip!!!!

Our trip April 2023 exceeded our expectations! Such attention to detail. We were certainly blessed to have this opportunity.

What an incredible trip to the Holy Land where the Bible comes to life before your eyes! Epic Tours takes care of every detail to ensure the best experience possible. The trip was educational and inspirational with fun activities included like a sunrise camel ride. I haven't even unpacked yet but I'm already looking forward to Egypt next year.

A trip of a lifetime… not just the history but a spiritual and life changing trip to cherish and continue to learn from and grow in God.

This has been a life changing tour, coming to the Holy Land has brought it to life!! This definitely won't be my last trip.

My June 2019 Israel and Jordan tour with Sis Trout was phenomenal! It is at the top of my list of places that I have visited. To walk where Jesus walked, sail the Sea of Galilee, and stand atop Mt Nebo are just a few of the many sights I will cherish forever. Sis Trout is such an amazing, knowledgeable and caring tour leader. I am sharing my experiences with Californians and others. Highly recommending that they take Epic Tours Jerusalem to the land of the Bible.

I wanted to thank you again for such a great tour. I think I can say for both Bert and myself, we had such a great time! There wasn't one thing that registered as a negative to me. Your professional leadership came through loud and clear. Your teaching and insights from God's Word were right on target; everything was just super. May God continue to bless and use you. Keep up the good work. Blessings on you.

I have attempted to go to the Holy Land for years. I finally made the best trip of my life. It was overwhelming to walk where Jesus and our great Bible ancients walked and to see how they lived. Seeing the empty tomb was smashing to me knowing that's where Jesus was laid to rest after His great agony. This trip was well planned to the detail. The guides were well informed and entertaining. Dr. Janet Trout is a professional tour planner and biblical scholar. From Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Tiberius, Masada, the Western Wall — seeing a bar-mitzvah — Golan Heights, Sea of Galilee to Petra, the Dead Sea and the Bedouin luxury tent camp of Wadi Rum, it was spectacular. I would do it again.

This was an amazing life changing tour. From start to finish everything was first class. The tour guides were professional, the accommodations were great. I walked where Jesus walked. The tomb was empty. Janet Trout and her team were great. I will recommend this trip to anyone that is interested in learning more about our savior and Lord. My favorite site was everything, but I was especially impressed with Wadi Rum and the desert, tents, camels, great food, Mount Nebo, Via Dolorosa and the Garden of Gethsemane. I would encourage anyone to take this trip. It is worth the cost and you will definitely get your money's worth. Thank you Epic Tours for this memorable trip.

Thank you for a wonderful trip! You did a marvellous job coordinating all the details and taking us to the premier places. I will have many great memories. (1) I felt completely safe at all times. In fact, I was probably as safe or safer there than walking out my front door. (2) It would be difficult to choose one thing as "best." Each experience held its own special meaning — early morning prayer in Gethsemane, praying at the Western Wall, walking the tunnels under Temple Mount, visiting Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee, shopping in the Jerusalem street market. Our days were full. (3) A good tour guide makes all the difference. We had the best, both in Israel and in Jordan. Also, our group enjoyed Sister Janet Trout sharing special biblical insights along the way. It made what we saw even more meaningful. Blessings to all my fellow travelers!

I have just completed the 13-day VIP Holy Land tour. There are not words enough to describe how wonderful this experience was. First class attention all the way. The attention to the most minute detail was refreshing and exceptional. I highly recommend this trip for anyone interested in visiting the Holy Land and having an experience of a lifetime.

Our tour is in its final few days, and everything has been excellent. Praying at the Western Wall was a long-desired and emotional experience. Praying in Gethsemane and communion at the Garden Tomb were also a spiritually moving experience for me. Accommodations have been very good throughout. It has all been a wonderful experience.

First time seeing where Jesus walked — unforgettable.

First trip to Israel and it will never be forgotten! Sister Trout and the whole Epic Tour staff provide excellent service from hotel and food coverage to the guides and sites!!! This has been an amazing unforgettable experience!!

This is my first trip to the Holy Land. The Epic Tour staff provides an A+ experience. From the Sea of Galilee, to the Garden of Gethsemane, to the Garden Tomb everything is phenomenal. This organization not only provides a tangible experience but also spiritual and cultural components that can't be replaced. Most importantly, the involvement is one of a kind. Thank you for this amazing experience, Epic Tours Jerusalem!

Today we went on a boat in the Sea of Galilee. I've heard many stories from people that have come in the past about that moment; the stories cannot compare to when you visit yourself. It was a life changing moment for me, something that I will never forget.

I am so very grateful for the time that I spent in Israel. Epic Tours was incredible in guiding us through the process of customs as well as leading us through Israel. I learned so much more about God and His history in biblical times, because of Epic Tours' knowledge of the land and the Holy sites. I would recommend that anyone that is planning a tour to Israel go with Epic Tours, for an experience that is life changing. Epic Tours fulfilled my desire to walk where Jesus walked, and feel His presence in a deeper way.

This was my first trip to Israel. Loved how Janet Trout took care of every detail and every individual. Our tour guide Asher, amazing and well knowledgeable of every detail about the history and present times of Israel/Jerusalem. The Bible comes alive and takes you by the hand. Thank you for all that you do. The Sea of Galilee faith boat ride is a must for everyone.

The November 2018 Israel and Jordan tour was the trip of a lifetime for my wife and me. It would be difficult to pinpoint favorite events. The memories just keep coming. I am reading the Gospels again with a new eye after being there and seeing where it all happened. Good guides, good transportation, good agenda and good coordination. Highly recommended.

We did the Israel/Jordan 12-day tour and everything was great. Everyone that went has had nothing but wonderful things to say. The trip, the itinerary, the guides, accommodations, met all our expectations. Thank you for more wonderful memories once again.

Our tour to Israel and Jordan was fantastic. The Epic Tour company was great at preparing the tour locations, communication, facilitating and even sorting out issues we ran into. Thank you Shlomo and the team.

I believe every believer should take this trip. At every stop on the tour the Bible comes more alive. This was indeed a trip of a lifetime. From worshipping on the Sea of Galilee to sleeping in a Bedouin camp in the desert, each moment was priceless. Thank you Epic Tours for a life changing experience.

My experience with Epic Tours was incredible. It was obvious that Janet Trout, who has made over 50 tour trips to Israel since the late 1960's, knew the land and the history. It made the tour exceptional. The Friday evening experience of having a Shabbat dinner was very educational and was worth the extra add-on. The trip to Jordan to see Petra was wonderful. But the Wadi Rum in Jordan, to stay in the tents overnight like the Bedouin live, was beyond words. If you want to experience the best in touring Israel and Jordan, Epic Tours is the one to use.

Great tour. Enjoyed every experience.
