Why Choose George's?
Exceptional Pricing Superior Quality Outstanding Efficiency
As we begin the new millennium, George's International Tours is nearing its own exciting milestone, nearly three-quarters of a century in business. Established in Jerusalem in 1931, we have organized thousands of successful tours and pilgrimages over the years. During that time we have maintained one of the highest repeat customer levels in the travel industry and demonstrated ourselves to be one of the leaders in the Christian tour market.
The underlying foundation of our service is our team of travel professionals, among the most experienced in the industry. Our staff will ensure that you have all the necessary information needed to make the best choice. They act as your personal travel consultants, helping you avoid uncertainties that await travelers overseas. Whether visiting the Marian Shrines of Europe, seeing the land of Christ's birth, or following in the footsteps of the Saints, you can rest assure that George's International will provide meticulous care to all the details.
Our main goal is to provide a pleasant and spiritually rewarding experience for each and every client. Constantly working towards this mission is the bottom line in our success, and is why we will continue to thrive into the new millennium.
We recognize that you have many choices when deciding who to travel with, so we kindly ask you to consider the following:
- Because we are a Christian-owned company solely dedicated to providing arrangements to Christian pilgrims, we are intimately familiar with the requirements of our clients. After all, when traveling on a pilgrimage, who is better suited to lead you than a fellow Christian.
- While we maintain our own offices in the Holy Land, it often becomes necessary to utilize the services of other receptive agents when you are traveling to other destinations. Therefore we work hard to maintain an extensive network of Christian-owned and operated receptive agents overseas. What this means is that the receptive agents handling your arrangements abroad are equally familiar with the special needs of Christian pilgrims.
- Since your trip is one of faith, we take pride in the fact that we can guarantee local Christian guides in each country you visit. In the Holy Land this is no easy feat as less than 5% of the licensed guides in the country are Christian. Christian guides are able to familiarize you not only with the history of the various sites you will be visiting, but with their spiritual significance as well.
- When traveling with Georges International Tours you are indirectly helping to preserve the Christian presence in the Holy Land. The majority of Christians in the Holy Land live below the poverty level and over the years thousands of Christian families have fled the country in search of economic prosperity elsewhere. We strongly believe in supporting the Christian community and to this end we predominantly employ Christians in our organization.
- With our excellent connections in the Holy Land, we can arrange for special audiences with the religious leaders of all the Christian, Jewish and Islamic communities. We can also arrange for your group to meet with local Christian families and parishes, the "Living Stones", in order to gain further insight into what it means to be a Christian in the Holy Land.
- George's International Tours is a family-owned and operated business, not a huge corporation with a multitude of inefficient staff. This means that we take great pride in the work that we do because we have a vested interest in the future of our company. When working with us you are guaranteed fast, friendly and personalized attention. By providing unparalleled service, we are able to guarantee that our company will continue to be successful for future generations.
- Our extensive contacts throughout the travel industry enable us to secure hotel accommodation and airfares at the most competitive rates. You are the beneficiary as we pass these savings on to you while maintaining the high quality that has become the hallmark of Georges International Tours.
- With our own fleet of the late model, 54-seater Mercedes-Benz motorcoaches you are provided with the finest transportation in the Holy Land. Owning the Christmas Hotel, a 37-room first Class Hotel in Jerusalem, enables us to lavish personal attention on small to medium sized groups. The award-winning Jerusalem Garden Restaurant also owned by Georges International Tours helps us to provide you with a truly memorable dining experience.
- When organizing a group of your own, you will receive special benefits including free arrangements for group organizers, personalized promotional brochures, and a host of other promotional materials and assistance.
- Fully licensed, insured and bonded, your financial security is guaranteed with George's International. As a further protection to our clients, all funds received by George's International are placed into an escrow account which and can only be withdrawn to pay for travel services for the client who deposited those funds.
- As members of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), the International Airline Transport Association (IATA), and the World Association of Travel Agents (WATA) we are committed to the highest standards of business ethics and quality of service to our clients. We take special pride in our WATA membership, as we are the only receptive agent in the Holy Land that has received this prestigious appointment.
