Highlights

Every year we get more and more inquiries for Biblical tours in Turkey as a lot of people have recently discovered the important role these lands played in the history of Christianity. Therefore, for Bible land tours we carefully choose guides who have good knowledge of Bible and Christian history.


During our Bible tours, our guests can visit many magnificent churches, some nearly as old as Christianity itself, and can retrace the footsteps of Apostle Jhon and Paul from the Biblical city of Ephesus to the underground churches of Cappadocia.
Our Biblical tour guides are locals who have very good knowledge not only about the sights in the area, but also about the history of Christianity. They are all fluent in English, and some of them guide also in other languages.
If you want to visit more biblical sites in Turkey; you can contact us and we can allways customize this itinerary.
