Building Memories

John & Edith Anthony, Pennsylvania

We deeply appreciated our tour guide who quickly becomes a friend that values your questions and does his best to provide meaningful answers. There is personal attention given that might not be possible in larger group tours.

His devotionals are exemplary — they truly marked our life and made our time in Israel a pilgrimage more than a “trip” or a “tour.”

Dan took us many places that shorter trips don’t have time for, providing us with unique cultural experiences and historical perspectives often unseen. Traveling out in the country side away from the tourist traps, seeing wild life, amazing agriculture in seemingly barren wasteland rugged rocky mountains was a treat.

If you have considered going to Israel, look no further. You will not find this kind of tour anywhere else, especially for the price and scope that it offers.

Search no further than Tribe of Dan tours for THE organization to plan your visit to Israel and the holy land.  During your tour you will find that Dr. Glick brings an encyclopedic and spiritual enrichment to your walk with the Lord.  

Tribe of Dan tours goes beyond the typical Christian tourist sites in Israel and explores less visited but biblically-meaningful locations such as Caesarea Philppi (Peter’s confession), Tel Dan (Abram rescues Lot), Harod’s Spring (Gideon’s 300), Hippos (Jesus heals the demoniac), Shiloh (First permanent Tabernacle) and many more.  

Our lodging in Tel Aviv (Olympia Hotel), Tiberias (Hotel Aviv), and Jerusalem (Three Arches YMCA) were all quite nice and very conveniently located to restaurants and other attractions to be enjoyed in our off time.  

This trip has been the absolute best guided tour I’ve ever been on, and I highly recommend Tribe of Dan tours for your own pilgrimage to Israel.

It took little time to realize why Answers in Genesis was promoting this particular tour. Dan Glick, former pastor, college professor and guide is truly gifted in what he does. His combined knowledge of the area, the personal connections he has made, his experience as a teacher and his logistical savvy allow him to customize and alter trips to fit the needs and desires of his clients (and he does).

What’s more, his clients quickly become friends and to some extent “family”. Dan is sensitive to individual and group needs and makes it a priority to communicate effectively to meet those needs.

I appreciated the extensive amount of pre-trip information we received that allowed us to view videos and read material about the history and specific sites we were to visit. In addition, we were given daily scripture readings that corresponded to each site making the experience more relevant and memorable.

I was an Interpretive Park Ranger for 15 years and Dan knows how to engage his audience. He blends scriptural truths with personal stories to bring home the message of the gospel in the very land where it was birthed. The meals and lodging were excellent. We were able to get a “taste” of the culture and the country. It truly was the trip of a lifetime. 

Dr. Randall McElwain, Florida

For those who desire to move beyond the “beaten path,” Tribe of Dan Tours is ideal. By offering smaller groups and longer tours, Tribe of Dan allows you to places that are not often included on a Holy Land Tour. 

Seeing the high places of Dan in the north and the Red Sea in the South gives you a chance to visit both ends of Israel. A visit to Sepphoris shows the Roman influences on the world in which Jesus grew up. A day traveling through the Negev Desert enriches your understanding of the difficulties of Israel’s forty years in the wilderness. 

In addition to the educational aspects of the tour, Dr. Glick does a great job of drawing spiritual lessons from the places visited on the tour. Any Christian should grow spiritually as a result of this trip.

 What a real blessing we received on our October, 2019, tour with Tribe of Dan Tours. Our tour guide, Dan Glick, is very knowledgeable, well-versed in his historical and Biblical presentations.  When Dan speaks, the Word comes alive. 

My husband and I were on a trip that had 21 people from 10 different states, affording us the opportunity to make new friends.  Sightseeing daily from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., we had time to enjoy the evening, relaxing as each traveler chose, whether walking the streets of Tiberias or Jerusalem, eating a meal on the banks of the Red Sea, swimming in the Sea of Galilee, or just visiting with each other.  Our trip was both enriching and inspiring as well as informational and devotional. 

The Gospels have taken on new meaning since arriving home.  We can now picture where Biblical events took place and have deeper insights into the Word.   We highly recommend Tribe of Dan Tours!

Mary Ann Jenks, Oregon

It was a privilege to be part of a recent “Tribe of Dan” tour in Israel. Of course, every tour leader brings his own philosophy of what a trip like this should be, making it unique.

Dan sent extensive preparatory information for what we would see, and shared excellent Scriptural background information and teaching as we experienced each historical site. 

It definitely was an effective “pilgrimage” for faith building and realizing the continuous work of God in that land through many centuries. I appreciated that, although we filled each day of the two weeks with stops at numerous historical sites, I never felt like we were rushed through them, but were allowed to mentally and emotionally process what we were seeing. 

Dan also wanted us to experience the Israel of today and encouraged us to be out and about in the cities where we stayed overnight, to get a feel for those communities, too; from modern Tiberias to both Old and modern Jerusalem. It was a good mix of planned “tour” and personal adventure.

The limiting of group size also encourages a strong sense of camaraderie among the participants, and I feel I made friends on this trip.

Gurine Fogg, Massachusetts

Thanks a million! The trip was exactly what I’d hoped for, and if the Lord allows, I would love to return for an Israel 2.0, or that trip that follows the journeys of Paul and/or the churches of Asia.

Daryl Hobbs, Florida

The awe of standing in places which were well known to Abraham, Jacob, Joshua, David, Hezekiah, as well as so many others from Old Testament times was amazing!!

And then, the precious privilege of walking where Jesus walked. Those are moments and scenes in my mind that I cherish and hold close to my heart.

The devotionals were awesome, and Dan’s knowledge of the background of these places just rolls out of him! We couldn’t have had a better, more knowledgeable guide to lead us on this incredible experience.

Pastor John Manley, Ohio

Traveling to Israel in September of 2018 with my wife and the Tribe of Dan Tours was an immeasurable blessing and benefit to me both as a follower of Christ and as a pastor.  Dan’s tour arrangements allowed us to visit many places and yet enjoy some meaningful free time as well.  The study material provided for the trip greatly enriched the experience. 

Dan’s personal knowledge of the land of the Bible is extensive.  I cannot read the Bible the same since I’ve been to Israel.  My heart has been enlarged and my devotion deepened.  I’m told the trip has changed my preaching.  One of my congregants said, “I feel like I got a new pastor!” 

I certainly recommend Dan Glick and the Tribe of Dan Tours if you are considering a trip to Israel!

Scott Sobie, missionary to Ukraine

My experience of traveling both to Israel and to the sites of the seven churches of Revelation with Dan Glick has transformed the way I read my Bible and profoundly deepened my understanding of so many stories, places, and people from Scripture.

As a pastor, I have had the added benefit of taking those insights, my pictures and videos, and the whole wealth of new information that I’ve gained and share them with my church members, who have been delighted to share in the adventure.

Even now, I find myself continually reliving the sites, sounds, impressions and joyful fellowship of places like the olive tree grove on the Mount of Olives, the beautiful shores of Galilee at Capernaum, the rocky brow of Nazareth overlooking the breathtaking Valley of Armageddon, the haunting shrine of Jeroboam’s golden calf, the serene joy of the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem and much more.

And with Tribe of Dan Tours, we were able to go to sites like Samaria, Jacob’s Well, Mt. Gerizim, Jericho and many others where I since have learned that other tour groups often do not go. How quickly these places and experiences became a part of me.

Michael Williams, Alabama

We didn’t just tour sites but, very often, we took time at a site for Dan to present an insightful devotion.  This was usually followed by a general discussion including questions and answers.  These times were very memorable!

This was an experience that has impacted my life and ministry on several levels, and I would unequivocally recommend Tribe of Dan Tours to anyone who is interested in visiting the Holy Land. It was a great experience educationally, culturally and most of all spiritually.

Sam Simmons, Georgia

I knew we had picked the right trip before we even left when Dan supplied us with the applicable scripture passages for each place along with a prayer guide for trip. So, for a history geek, this answered “why did this place matter in the Bible”, “why does it matter now”, and “what is God teaching me from this place”.

Dr. Glick is trying to fit as much into your stay as possible. On multiple occasions he added in another stop between scheduled sites, just because we had the time.

The food was wonderful and the accommodations were good, convenient to the sites, and all of our hosts were gracious to the group. I highly recommend Dr. Glick and this tour!!!

Pastor Jonathan Edwards, Indiana

Tribe of Dan Tours had a trip prepared that gave me the opportunity to experience what it was like to be on the paths that Jesus trod.  In the 14 days that we were there we literally traveled from “Dan to Beersheba” and beyond. In the midst of our travels, we daily experienced special times of prayer, Bible study and devotional discussion that were inspirational, meaningful and yet relaxing as we met in the various locations that we were visiting. 

If you’re looking for that kind of an experience that is financially feasible, I can highly recommend Tribe of Dan Tours.

Pauline Hoover, Pennsylvania

What I appreciated was our tour guide giving devotionals almost every day, and in some places he had us scatter a bit for our own private prayer time.

To now have my own memories of those times linked to particular places/passages in Scripture is a unique, special thing.

To have brought my own prayers in the place where Hannah poured out her heart, to have met my own giants in the place where David fought Goliath, to have rested in the place where Jesus often came, these are treasures.

Alex Fry, Michigan

I had the privilege of going to Israel with Dr. Glick in October, 2016. This was my first trip to Israel and will likely not be my last. It was transformational.

The spiritual focus that was fostered by the unrushed schedule each day, as well as the devotionals and times of prayer led to this change. The teaching is as thorough as a textbook and the spiritual depth completely changed the way I now read the Bible.

Every trip you ever take always has certain expectations and this trip exceeded every one of my expectations. I remember thinking by day 3 that I had already received my money’s worth.

Dr. Glick’s prayer for each person on his trips is that they will connect with the Spirit of God in a new and fresh way that will change their lives.

I was so touched by this trip that I am joining the trip to Greece and Turkey trip in ’17!

Pastor Stan Grabill, Ohio

My trip with Dan was my third opportunity to tour the holy land, and it was exceptional. The extra days in Israel, the versatility of traveling by car, and the numerous additional sites (25+) visited made for an incredible journey.

From Mount Arbel, we looked out over the region in which that Light was lit up in Galilee and worshipped Him in our hearts. In the Valley of Elah, we chose our own stones with thoughts of conquering the spiritual giants coming against us and our families.

The ruins of Chorazin became our classroom as we considered the woes that Jesus pronounced on the cities in which He did most of His miracles, and we thought seriously about what we are doing with our own revelations of Jesus.

At Hippos we reflected on the man delivered from the legion of demons and considered his testimony and how effectively we are witnessing. And that’s just a sampling of our experience. 

My tours of the holy land have been times of reprieve from ministerial duties and occasions to reflect upon spiritual truths, and the trip that Dan put together facilitated those benefits well.

Eldon Glick, New York

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, so very much for making my Israel Tour a very memorable experience.

My family, my Pastor, my relatives, and my friends that went with you, two years ago, still love talking about this “experience”. Why?

The many places you took us to see were Jesus walked, and the time you spent at each place sharing precise details of Bible events, history, and stories, made God’s Word come more alive in my heart. Thank you Jesus!

The wealth of information you provided Dr. Dan, sharing Bible history on this tour – made it so much more than just a tour, it was a once in a “ lifetime experience ” I can never forget!

As I read my Bible now, so many places and events just pop out like never before, and I am privileged to relive this “experience” and gratefully smile thanking Jesus again and again for coming to this earth – and saving my soul.

Fred Muffley, Wyoming

My wife and I really enjoyed the trip with Dan Glick in Israel. Dan was very knowledgeable and traveling with smaller groups allowed us to do many things that the larger groups couldn’t.

We traveled from the Syria border in the north to the Eyptian border in the south, and from Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. I’ll never read the Bible without remembering the places we visited. It was a perfect trip for my wife and I.

Pastor John Donovan, New York

The trip with Tribe of Dan Tours has meant so much to my wife and I, words can not describe. The places we went, the history, the knowledge you shared, the fellowship was priceless.

When we see pictures now that others share, we say to ourselves we’ve been there, we’ve seen that. A part of us is still there, the Bible became more alive and real.

Thank you for all that energy, effort and time you put into it to make it a memorable and “Precious Memory “, experience. God Bless.

Kelli & Robert Send, Wisconsin

Dr. Glick’s biblical teaching made the Bible truly come alive during our journey. He understands the land and graciously shared his knowledge and friendship with us during our time together. These experiences will be forever remembered by our family. We highly recommend Dan Glick and his team to everyone wishing a Christian perspective of the Holy Lands.

Sharla, Krista, & Brenda, sisters from New York

One thing I loved was how Dan took time at some of the places we went, and talked about issues people were facing at that place hundreds of years ago and showing that we’re still facing those issues and we need to stand up and respond with discernment and wisdom.

I loved how flexible Dan was with us as a group, and the freedom he gave to do whatever interested us in the evenings.

Dan was sensitive to the older ( 50+) people in our group in how much walking we did. Overall the trip was an enriching experience.

 

Kevin & Kimberly Sorrell, Oklahoma

We had a wonderful trip to Israel with Tribe of Dan Tours! It was relaxing, (since Dan had everything pre-arranged), educational, exciting and fun! From taking a boat out on the Sea of Galilee, to getting in the Jordan River, floating in the Dead Sea, snorkeling in the Red Sea, riding a camel, lots of hiking, and sightseeing, we enjoyed every minute!  

Dan was very knowledgeable, gave current life lessons, and he made sure we had proper accommodations, since we took our 6 month old baby. We really enjoyed the company of our group.  We made friends for life!

Byron Manners, missionary to Taiwan

To me the best point of traveling with Dan is that he cuts some of the extra expenses one normally pays when traveling to Israel.  This allows the tourist to have extra days and see more things for the same price as other tour groups.

Dan has contacts among the Israeli Arabs, and this allowed us to spend one day in Nabulus (Shechem) in the West Bank. 

One of the highlights of my trip was standing atop Mt. Gerizim and looking out over the valley where important events happened in the lives of Abraham, Jacob, and Joshua.  We drank water out of the well where Jesus met the Samaritan woman. 

Traveling through what used to be Benjamin and Ephraim was a special treat. The trip to Israel has been very helpful in my ministry.  I am a missionary and have used the pictures I took in Bible studies and sermons. 

It will enrich your spiritual life to walk where Jesus walked and to see the actual places where many of the events in the Bible took place.

What are you waiting for?
