WHY TRAVEL WITH ANDERSON TOURS LLC!

The answer is simple; your experience! At Anderson Tours, we take your experience seriously. We understand the sacred and delicate nature of visiting holy sites on an organized tour. So much of your experience depends on the attitudes, philosophies and motivations of the people organizing the tour and those directing the experience. At Anderson Tours, our mission statement is...

Alma 36:24; “Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.”

This verse describes beautifully the reasons Anderson Tours came to be and the desires it embraces. Anderson Tours’ whole intent is for each traveler to be edified by the Spirit and draw closer to our Creator. This driving philosophy is evident in everything we do.

Above all else, Anderson Tours does not cut corners on your experience! It is possible that other companies offer similar travel options as Anderson Tours. However, after comparing the itineraries it is clear that no other tours can compete with what you will get for your money when you travel with us. Other companies may cut corners to save money and bring costs down. Sadly, the experience you could have also gets cut when this is done. At Anderson Tours, your experience is paramount. Because we understand that your trip with us may be the only time you will get to visit these sites, we give you the best experience possible at every one. Although this may not be the most convenient or cost effective for the company, it is top on our list of priorities—to help make your Anderson Tours experience the best.

Second, our experience enhances your experience! Not only do the directors at Anderson tours have experience with the historical sites, but also with the scriptures. Because of this, our directors can do more than provide you with a list of interesting facts about the places you visit. Many of our tour directors have devoted their lives to teaching principles from the standard works, and they know how to help you bring the scriptures to life at each site. After returning home your scripture study will be greatly enhanced as you recount principles, feelings, and memories that you experienced while studying the scriptures with us. It is no wonder that with Anderson Tours you will constantly be reminded, “Don’t Forget to Bring Your Scriptures!”

Finally, the memories you will create with Anderson Tours will last a lifetime. The places that you see will become cherished thoughts, as well as the friendships made with your fellow tour participants.

We look forward to traveling with you and your friends and family on our upcoming tours!

ABOUT ANDERSON TOURS LLC

The Anderson Tours story began with A. Gary Anderson, who taught Religion in the Church History department at Brigham Young University for 25 years. During this time he directed tours for BYU and allowed his family to travel with him on multiple occasions. They were inspired as they had personal, spiritual experiences at sacred places while visiting Israel, Egypt, and American and Church History sites. Gary’s passion for the Spirit of Place was contagious, and all nine Anderson children came to appreciate the value and power of being “on site” while learning of the sacred events of the scriptures. As the Anderson children tried to share the excitement and spirit that they had experienced while being taught at these sacred sites, they found themselves often saying, “If you were standing…” or “pretend you were there…” and wishing others could experience similar things as they had with their father.
In 1995, Gary passed away and the Anderson family took a healing trip to the Holy Land to revisit places he had loved and taught so well. Following this memorable trip, two of Gary’s sons, Ron and Clark, decided to offer a similar trip to other family and friends. Pleased with the outcome, they continued traveling—operating under the name Shalom Tours. The name was changed to Anderson Tours, LLC in 2000 and soon American Heritage/Church History itineraries were added to the list of offered trips. Anderson Tours continued providing travel opportunities and found that the thrill of each tour was actually being “on site” to learn and discover the scriptures together—just as Gary loved to do.
As the demand for quality LDS tours increased, the Anderson Family alone was not able to meet the needs of all those who wanted to have the Anderson Tours experience. They found, however, that many of their friends and associates shared their same philosophy and wanted to help others discover the power found in learning from the scriptures on hallowed ground. Anderson Tours expanded, adding several tours and tour directors in order to help as many people as possible to participate. Today Anderson Tours continues to do all it can to bring the power of these sites to each participant and invites you to discover the magic of the “on site” classroom with us as we visit sacred places throughout the world.

We will then cross through ‘The Wall’ (10’ cement wall that separates Israel and Palestinian controlled land) to visit the birthplace of the Savior in Bethlehem (Church of the Nativity). Our day will conclude in the Shepherds’ Fields where we’ll reflect on the story of Jesus’ birth and the concept of “Sheep”. Time permitting we will visit a local Bethlehem Olive Wood shop before crossing back through the wall. This evening we will view how the Orthodox Jews bring in the Sabbath at the Western Wall. We overnight in Jerusalem!

DAY 15 (Sat Aug 14th) GETHSEMANE / MT. OLIVES / GARDEN TOMB
Our final day just might be the most memorable of all as we begin in the traditional site of the Garden of Gethsemane (Church of all Nations). We will then wander up and across the street to visit the Orson Hyde Memorial Park (Church regulated property) for a discussion and some ponder time. The view of Jerusalem during our Sacrament Service in the BYU Jerusalem Center is unforgettable. On our way to lunch we will wander down the Mt. of Olives and pass thousands of Jewish graves, including those of the Biblical Prophets; Haggai, Zechariah & Malachi. Lunch is a unique place in the Old City with a nice view of the Old City. From here we will reflect on the burial & resurrection of the Savior as we visit the two possible sites for Golgotha & Calvary. First we visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher [believed site for many Christians] and then the Garden Tomb [where others feel is the true site]. This will appropriately be our final site. We will enjoy our “Last Supper” and evening together. We will have a short night and need to be to the airport approximately 3 hours early in order to get through security checks etc...

Day 16 (Sun Aug 15th) FLY HOME

We fly from Tel Aviv to the USA where we will be reunited with our loved ones!
