Will the legacy of faith in your family end with your generation?
There are very few rites of passage in our culture today. As many as 82% of teens walk away from their faith before reaching adulthood. For many, the decision is made long before. Many families of faith can be described as spending time together without ever having a vibrant spiritual connection. It doesn’t have to be this way. Faith can come alive in your family.
This is a family experience that cannot be duplicated.
Experience the Holy Land of Israel.
See the land of Biblical heroes like Joshua and Paul. Walk in the footsteps of Biblical characters and watch the stories come to life.
Share your story of faith with family, for the first time.
Most kids and grandkids have never heard the story of how their parents and grandparents came to faith. This trip will change everything.
Eat some of the best foods of your life.
All inclusive meals, and plenty of them! More than 30 family meals together. Plus, you don’t have to worry about cooking or cleaning up.
Grow your family’s connection and love for the Bible.
If the Word is living water, this is a great place to learn to drink. Build faith reading from the very places the Great Story of God takes place.
Be led by a guide like none other.
As a Jew and Bible teacher, Matt Davis brings a fresh, fun, and unique perspective in guiding groups through the Holy Land.
Have lots of fun, trying new things, TOGETHER!
This is not a 12-day, nonstop, Bible study. You don’t have to worry about everyone getting bored. It will be active. It will be memorable.
Psalm 78:4-7
“We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.”

“Visiting the Holy Land was something I always wanted to do but didn’t think it would happen anytime soon. When an opportunity came up to visit Israel led by someone with such a deep understanding of the Jewish culture and many years of experience leading trips abroad, I jumped at the opportunity. What made it even more special was sharing the experience with my brother and becoming much closer through it. It was such a deeply moving experience I decided I need to bring my entire family next year. My kids are teenagers. This time is critical before they launch. I want to give them the opportunity to see what they have only heard and read about until now. They, like me, will remember this trip for the rest of their lives.”

We want to see generations of families walking full of faith.
At Legacy Israel Tours we know that you want to have a spiritual connection and experience with your family. In order to do that, you need to pass on the legacy of your faith. The problem is it is near impossible to get the attention of the next generation which makes you feel hopeless. We believe leaving a faith legacy is possible and it can be coupled with incredible family memories to last a lifetime.
Hear what some of our friends have to say.
“We signed up for a trip with Matt and persuaded some friends to do the same. We wanted to be sure the teaching was from someone who not only had a deep knowledge of the Bible and Jewish culture, but also someone who was able to teach to our particular group with such a wide age range. We wanted the itinerary of the trip to be unique to our group and a good balance between the “must-see”, the hidden gem, and fun. The trip reinforced the foundation of my faith, led me to a deeper understanding of the importance of the word of God and who He is, and deepened the relationships between me and our fellow travelers.”
— Cathy
“I teach Old Testament classes to New Testament believers, yet I had never seen the Holy Land. My images of Mounts Carmel, Mount Nebo or Masada might just as well have been from a flannel board. I’ve already experienced teaching from Matt through Passover Seders and classes on Biblical Feasts. Having Matt, who had been to Israel many times assured me this trip would be nothing short of spectacular. A trip to Israel is a rite of passage no matter the age of the believer. Our memory marker on our 25th anniversary was a trip to Italy and Rome. This 50th anniversary was to Israel and nothing else compares to it.”
— Stan
“Our trip to Israel was an important marker in our family's spiritual journey, and Matt was a big part of that. Matt shared his personal and family connection to Israel with our group in a way that brought the living history of the Holy Land to life for us. If you have the opportunity to go to Israel, go, no matter what. If you can go with friends who are like family, go. If you can bring your family, even better. Go. And if you can share this experience with the people who are most important to you AND have Matt as your leader, book your tickets right away.”
— Paul
“A tour to Israel felt like an out-of-reach dream for me until God put all the pieces into place. Hearing Matt teach while standing in places like the Garden of Gethsemane, Mount of Olives, and the Southern Steps made my faith come alive in ways that would not have happened any other way. Matt truly loves the land and is able to teach about it from his unique perspective and vast experience. Even years later as I read through the Scriptures those vivid memories of walking in the exact places that so many of the stories took place have deepened my walk and changed the way I experience the Lord.”
— Susie
“My husband and I had a bucket list that got longer every year. At the top was Israel. We knew traveling with close friends would be a priority. We know Matt personally and have heard him speak many times. His profound love of Israel and extensive knowledge of Jerusalem and the country's ancient history made this the trip of our lifetime. We came home with a much greater love for Israel and a greater understanding of her history. We realized our appetite was only whetted and had the thrill of taking another tour with Matt. From the length, width, depth and breadth of Israel I have been transformed.”
— Carolyn
“I came to Israel 10 years ago without my wife. She doesn’t like to travel but I wanted her to experience the Bible coming alive like I had. Going on a tour with Matt brings a great balance of adventure, fun, in-depth understanding of culture and most importantly Biblical relevance to these locations and sites. My wife did end up coming and our faith was renewed. It is a goal of ours to share this experience with our kids and their spouses to extend our faith legacy and strengthen our family’s faith journey in Christ.”
— Rudy
“A once in a lifetime trip to Israel could never happen without the proper guide to lead the way. Matt was the perfect fit for our family and brought his incredible gift of teaching, fun, and Biblical truth into this amazing place. Because of his leadership, the Bible came to life and allowed us to connect to God, to each other, and grow in our faith. My relationship with God and His Word has never been stronger and that is much in part to Matt’s storytelling, experience, and passion.”
— Brandon
“Being in Israel and studying God's Word there has strengthened our faith in so many ways. It brought us closer as a couple as we were able to share in drawing near to the land where everything took place. Having Matt as one of our tour leaders and learning from him daily made our trip. His knowledge of the region, but more importantly his biblical insight and talented teaching made our journey something we will never forget. We still talk about the trip, the people we connected with, and what we learned. It was truly a trip of a lifetime.”
