Mission
We are a nonprofit tour company that focuses on educating passengers during its tours. We specialize in 10 days study tours to Israel but also offer extension tours to Petra & Egypt. During these tours, our guides (all have graduated from a 3-year college in Israel with a certification in educating tourists) accompany our passengers for the entire trip and extensively teach from the Bible, The Torah and many historical books. We offer wholesale pricing to our passengers that is many times hundreds or even thousands less than our competition.
Program accomplishments
- Despite the ongoing conflict in Israel, Worldwide Educational Tours, Inc. was able to conduct one tour to Israel in 2025, with several more tours planned in the next few years. Due to the ongoing conflict, many churches and groups are still hesitant to visit the region, with many groups postponing their trips until late 2026 or even 2027 for safety purposes. To organize an international trip of this magnitude, particularly for large groups, it can take a minimum of one to two years to plan, depending on the circumstances.We hope to schedule more tours and regain more traction as the conflict in the Middle East hopefully comes to an end in the near future.Expenses $47,527
