Our father A. Gary Anderson was director at the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies on two separate occasions (1977 and 1986) which allowed the entire Anderson Family two entire semesters to learn about the culture, history, language, and ways of the Middle East. This was only the beginning of our involvement and study of Jerusalem and its surroundings.

Two of the Anderson boys; Clark & Ron would not only follow their father professionally in teaching Seminary and Institute and continue on the tradition of directing Tours to the Holy Land, but it has become their passion!

In 1997 the Anderson brothers launched their maiden voyage tour to Israel under the name Shalom Tours. It was a smashing success and as the Tour experience has improved and refined itself in impact over the decades of refinement and polishing. The company name was changed to its current name, Anderson Tours in the year 2000 and we have operated well over 50 amazing tours to the Holy Land ever since! Ask any who have come with us and they will verify that the Anderson Tours experience is indeed second to none. It comes with a personal touch that in unmatched as well as manageable group sizes to ensure a meaningful and powerful experience!

Our Holy Land Experience and Tour Itinerary has been carefully crafted and developed for over 4 decades now and we feel strongly that it is the very best on the market. We have learned the do’s and don’ts and how to maximize each day and every site visited, in what order, and what and how to present on site. We realize that your experience in the Holy Land may be a “one and only” for you and we want you to have THE very best experience possible! We don’t cut corners but maximize YOUR experience every time!

One of the most significant reasons people choose Anderson Tours for their Holy Land experience is group size. We have learned that the impact of the experience is best when done in a small, manageable group where participants can have a personalized experience and not one that is large and impersonal. Anderson Tours will maximize the participants experience and maintain that as its focus throughout instead of maximizing their profits by cutting corners and taking large groups which compromises the impact of the experience. YOUR experience will be enhanced by OUR experience and by OUR keeping YOUR experience as our greatest honor and privilege! The motives of the providers cannot be overstated in terms of YOUR experience in the Holy Land. OUR focus in on YOU and YOUR Holy Land experience! It will change your life in all the right ways.

Another reason you should experience the Holy Land with the Andersons is the Tour extension options that we offer. We offer our participants the option of visiting Petra, Mt. Sinai, the Red Sea, and the wonders of Egypt! Our first tour extension option is a visit to one of the newly voted “Wonders of the World”, Petra, Jordan. This is a magnificent experience that should be on everyone’s bucket list. We are one of the only groups that make the effort to travel to and climb Mt. Sinai. This is something every pilgrim should do as part of their Holy Land pilgrimage and is always one of the highlights for our participants! What a powerful experience to climb up this ancient Temple! Included in this portion is some time snorkeling and deep sea diving in the Red Sea which is one of THE very best places to do so in the World. (It is currently ranked in the top 5 locations in the world for snorkeling). Lastly, we offer an unparalleled experience of exploring the ancient ruins and Temples in Egypt. This experience will forever change your personal Temple experience. The Andersons have made Temples and Egyptian Temples a focus of their expertise and deliver an unparalleled experience in Egypt that is sure to enhance and strengthen your conviction of the Temple Endowment and its origin and impact. You will not get the same experience with another group! Years of study in Egypt have led to the insights we are able to provide!

We have mastered the Holy Land Tour experience in its totality and are pleased to offer tours for all ages. With recent political unrest in the region we take great lengths to ensure that each of our tour experiences are protected and safe. We will not operate a tour unless we feel confident that we can do so safely and confidently for all involved. Judging the safety of the experience is best defined and determined by those in country who live there and are responsible for the safety of the group. They would NOT offer to sponsor our group if they had significant concerns about our experience and our safety. With forty years experience in the area we have learned to trust their assessments and recommendations.

Now is a really unique and wonderful time to visit the Holy Land! We would love to have you join us on a life changing experience to the Holy Land. Space is limited and we encourage early registration. Please visit with those who have gone with us in the past to get an idea of the variety of ways it will impact your life. Enjoy the safety of our Holy Land Tour and if it is on your bucket list we invite you to make it a reality this year while it is still possible!

We hope you will strongly consider joining us for one of our tour offerings to the Holy Land. Each Tour is carefully crafted in order for you to maximize your sacred visit and pilgrimage to the Holy Land! No one provides a better experience! We humbly guarantee it!
