Both tours I've taken with Friendship Tours have been wonderful! We never felt uncomfortable, always safe, and well tended to. The first one was to Israel (2017) which was a life-changing trip!... See more

Outstanding. Prayerfully, we hope to go back for our third and maybe 4th trip. I can’t imagine having any other tour group. Along with the wonderful guides, the historical education we received about... See more

Wonderful Experience

The sites that we visited on this trip were a great representation of history and how it intertwines with the bible and my faith. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with a tremendous amount of information about each site we visited as well as other related topics. Excellent bus driver who safely took us to all the sites.

I Highly Recommend Friendship Tours

I have used Friendship Tours for over a dozen trips to Israel, Greece, Italy, and Turkey. They do an excellent job in offering a great price, excellent local guides, and wonderful accommodations. I do a custom itinerary for each trip, and Friendship Tours makes it all happen. I highly recommend them.

We have used Friendship Tours 3 times…

We have used Friendship Tours 3 times to travel to Israel. Nasser and the company have been first rate, and all of the services have been great. They have been very easy to work with and willing to make adjustments. The hotels, food, airlines and other amenities have been great choices too! The tour guides have been excellent and extremely patient, informative and caring to all my guests. Nasser has always been up front and timely with all information. We have always been safe and look forward for our next trip January 2026!

I have used Friendship Tours 3 times to Israel. The company is first rate with all it's services. The hotels used and the airlines used are always great choices too! The tour guides have been excellent and extremely patient, informative and caring to all my guests. Nasser has always been up front and timely with all information. I can't find any other tour company that can match Friend's prices!

I have led over a dozen trips with Nasser and Friendship Tours including Israel, Petra, Italy, Seven Churches of Revelation and the Mediterranean cruise. Friendship Tours has been flexible and accommodating to adjusting itineraries when requested. We have been served well and when any issues have come up on the trip, whether flights being cancelled or medical emergencies, Nasser and his team supported us and walked us through the necessary steps to make sure we were able to continue our trip with minimal interruptions. Our tour guides have been exceptional. Friendship Tours is an experienced company and professional in every way.

Highly Recommend Friendship Tours

I have been on three trips with Friendship Tours since 2018 and they were all wonderful and well organized.

Nasser is always available, easy to work with, and dependable. He went above and beyond for my group when our trip was canceled in October 2023.

Friendship will accommodate for your travel needs and wishes. The tour guides they provide are simply the BEST.

Highly recommend Friendship Tours!

Outstanding Service, Even When Plans Changed

I scheduled a trip to Israel as a tour leader, but due to the challenging political and military climate in the region, it was difficult to get enough travelers to sign up. Ultimately, I decided to cancel the trip, and Friendship Tours graciously refunded the “non-refundable deposits” for each of the six travelers who had registered. They went above and beyond their obligations to take care of my group, and I will gladly use them again when planning my next trip.

Go elsewhere for pilgrimage tours

Go elsewhere for pilgrimage tours. This business engaged in unethical practices. Went on a tour with a church group. Friendship claimed there was no hotel room available and refused to provide it because I had supposedly paid too late. But then they took the payment for the hotel room and deposited it as confirmed by my bank and still refused to provide the room. When confronted with the bank statement, they just got mad. Unless practices have changed since then, this tour group lacks integrity and should not call itself Christian.
Contrary to Friendship Tour’s claim and response, this is the right company. Their refusal to acknowledge this interaction equates to their refusal to acknowledge they received payment and provide the hotel room even after confronted with the bank statement. Do not trust this company and go elsewhere for Christian tours.

Wrong company. We have never had any such interaction with our clients.

My trip was cancel by returning deposit…

My trip was cancel by returning deposit to my team without connecting with me first. When I inquire I was told I did not have enough passengers which I first was told it did not matter how many passengers I have.

Disappointed in ship and itinerary

The ship was very outdated, shower backed up into bathroom, air conditioning did not work well, no water in pool or hot tub even though weather was hot. The food was hit and miss on quality. Seemed like we had almost exactly the same food every day. We missed the island of Crete, and arrived at one island after dark and another at dusk.

Nassar was GREAT at getting back to me quickly. Unfortunately, when I decided to postpone my trip with our group for a year because of costs during the Jubilee year in Italy, he canceled all my trip plans and would not reply to emails or phone calls after that. I felt that was very unprofessional.

Won’t use friendship tours again!

The Miray cruise ship was a joke. We had no air conditioning. The overall ship just seemed dirty. The food was not good and we had the same thing every single meal. The excursions were great, that is the only reason the rating wasn’t a 1. I have used friendship tours before and loved them, but this time they dropped the ball.

My apologies! I will take it up with the staff in Greece and discuss it with Pastor Bruce. I appreciate your bring this up. Once again I’m very sorry for this poor experience. It is definitely not what we are accustomed to.

Nasser and Friendship Tours take care of every detail. They make the trip personal, customized and carefree-- allowing Christian pilgrims to experience the sites, culture and history. I have lead more than a dozen pilgrimages with Friendship and would not hesitate to do so again. Thank you Nasser Noorani.
