From the very beginning of our trip Inspiration Cruises exceeded all our expectations on a daily basis.
TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:
My husband and I went on this tour in 2014. I remember scouring the internet for any information I could get my hands on about traveling not only out of the country, but Israel? My husband booked this trip as a surprise for me and boy, was I surprised! Never had I ever wanted to travel to Israel but I smiled graciously and packed every known remedy I could think of, just in case. Turns out there were around 850 people on this tour with us. We flew out of New York, can't remember what airplane it was but it was a massive jumbo jet. As we sat in the belly of this airplane surrounded by our fellow travelers, strangers, the only people we knew was each other. When we arrived in Tel Aviv we were met by representatives from Inspiration Cruises who shuttled us by bus to our hotel and a late night supper. From the very beginning of our trip Inspiration Cruises exceeded all our expectations on a daily basis. We did a lot of walking every day but I still managed to gain 5 pounds while we were there. The food was great and abundant. We chose the 3 star hotel instead of 4 or 5 stars. Our rooms were clean and neat. The only problem we had on this trip was electrical outlets in our hotel rooms. Each time we could only get our adaptors to work in one of the outlets so we could not charge our phone and use the hair dryer at the same time. The people we got to know best were the 48 we traveled with on bus 8 every day. Our tour guide, Jeremy was the BEST!! Not only did he know the history, he is a wonderful Christian man who read the Word, prayed and sang with us at many of the sites. On the airplane on the way home we were sitting next to the same people we sat with on the way over but they were no longer strangers, they were our good friends from bus 8!! Great job Jerry!

There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about our wonderful cruise!
TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:
There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about our wonderful cruise! Jeremy Bloom's Wish of a Lifetime worked with your firm to arrange our trip with Gaither Homecoming. We really want to thank the person or persons responsible for arranging our trip. We had a great time and we certainly enjoyed the concerts and our ocean view cabin. Neven gained 8 pounds so the food must have been great too! Thank you for a wonderful cruise!

I’ve never been farther than the states or central America by myself, so Israel was like a big thing for me and [Inspiration] made it really comfortable and it was really easy to get to.
TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:
[Inspiration] managed the whole thing and organized the whole trip was really great because from day one they were really professional and really organized. I received my package like a week after I purchased it. I’ve never been farther than the states or central America by myself, so Israel was like a big thing for me and they made it really comfortable and it was really easy to get to. The hotels were really organized, everything was really great, the tour buses were awesome and the guides. It was a really good experience. Some of the things they did to make it comfortable was explaining every detail, like the instructions on the package were awesome. They also gave us a book to read before going to Israel so they prepared us for the things that we should expect, what to pack, what would be the things that we would be encountering along the way so that was something that was really a big benefit. I made a lot of great friends in Israel that believe the same thing and when we got back and showed them all the pictures and all the places we went and how organized it was and how professional they were they were actually excited for next year. In a way they make you feel like you are in a little bubble. You’re part of a class and you feel comfortable. They actually did a good job making my nametags and also different tags for your bags, so they kept everything really organized with the lists. For me personally what made this trip so special was that it was unplanned—it was spontaneous. I think a lot of people sometimes like to plan everything in their life and live by a schedule or just live by expectations, but this was something that just came up…and I just kinda was brave enough to buy the ticket with the money I had saved. Not knowing where I was going, who I was going with, I wasn’t part of a church or anything—I actually just got myself out there. Just walking where Jesus walked is awesome. It was a great experience that you don’t get to enjoy every day.

I loved everything about this trip and the life changing experience that is so hard to explain. I think one of the things that changed me was being baptized in the Jordan by Tobin. Whenever I read scripture of John baptizing Jesus, I think "wow" I was baptized there too. Changes the heart.

Inspiration does everything first class. The travel arrangements, preparation info for tour, arrival, tour guides, buses & bus drivers, hotel accommodations, teaching ~ absolutely everything was perfect!
TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:
We wanted to drop a note and tell you once again what a wonderful experience we had on our recent trip to Israel. We traveled with Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale; this was our second trip to the Holy Land with them. Our experience 2 years ago was wonderful, but we must confess, this was even more meaningful! This truly was a "pilgrimage" for us! Inspiration does everything first class. The travel arrangements, preparation info for tour, arrival, tour guides, buses & bus drivers, hotel accommodations, teaching ~ absolutely everything was perfect! A very big difference this year was the use of "whispers"...excellent addition! No matter where you were in the group, every word was heard! We were totally connected with our tour guide at all times and through his voice! We remain amazed at the knowledge level of the guides you use; knowledge of the land itself and its history, as well as remarkable knowledge of the Bible! We have had the opportunity to be with two different guides and each gave us personal knowledge and a different perspective. We hope to return again! Thank you, Dave, and the Inspiration team for all you did in making this journey so special for us! Truly a blessing beyond words!

It wasn’t just a tour, it wasn’t a vacation, it was an experience where Jesus loved me so much [that] He wanted to show me where He was born and where He grew up and where He taught and where His friends were and where miracles happened and I got to see all of that and He kept on showing me all these things. I was able to delight in His life in a very intimate way.
TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WITH INSPIRATION:
[My husband and I] both wanted to pursue God more than just a nominal Christian life; we wanted more. I knew that I wanted to go to Israel and had been invited by different parties but I was waiting for just the right one and it came along when I decided to go to Philadelphia to see Joel Rosenberg. We had planned [to see Israel] for the next year—bought tickets for myself, my husband Jeff and my daughter Savannah 11 years old—and we went on a trip of a lifetime. It wasn’t just a tour, it wasn’t a vacation, it was an experience where Jesus loved me so much [that] He wanted to show me where He was born and where He grew up and where He taught and where His friends were and where miracles happened and I got to see all of that and He kept on showing me all these things. I was able to delight in His life in a very intimate way. I know there are many vacations people can go on, many places they can visit. Go to Europe and see history there [or] go to Hawaii and go surf—but ultimately if you’re a follower of Jesus Christ and you have the opportunity and the Lord calls you to it to see His intimate life and how He grew up and how He died for you and where He died for you and where He rose for you and where He’s going to come back again for you, [then] I hugely recommend this opportunity. And I hope to see you there because I will return.
