    "Beyond wonderful time in the Holy Land"

    Jerusalem is very special, so it deserves a customized deep tour. I am so thankful that Daniel handpicked expert Zahi as our guide. He brought us to watch a 3D movie, walk through underground tunnels, read the Gospel of John to understand the Last Supper, climb to a secret rooftop overlooking the Western Wall, and walk along 15 stations of the Via Dolorosa. A very special 12-hour trip full of Jerusalem's historical significance, spiritual symbolism, and visual splendor.
