This is the most common question we receive — and the right one to ask. Many tours in Greece have regular history guides who mention Paul in passing. Our guides are selected specifically for their biblical knowledge. When you stand on Mars Hill, they open Acts 17 and read it with you. When you’re at the Bema in Corinth, they walk you through Acts 18. The Scripture is the tour. The ruins are the context.

Absolutely — and for church groups, this is the heart of what we do. We build in time for group worship, on-site Scripture reading, and pastoral devotions at every key stop. For groups of 20 or more, we create a fully customized spiritual program around your pastor’s vision — you lead the spiritual journey, we make sure everything runs perfectly.

Yes. Greece is one of the safest destinations in Europe. The U.S. State Department rates Greece as “Exercise Normal Precautions” — the same category as France, Germany, and the UK. The biblical sites (Athens, Corinth, Thessaloniki, Philippi) are well-established tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure. We’ve never had a safety incident with any FAVOR group in Greece.

US passport holders do not need a visa for Greece — you can stay up to 90 days in the Schengen Area without one. Starting in late 2026, the EU’s ETIAS travel authorization may be required for US citizens (a simple online registration, similar to the US ESTA, costing approximately €7). We send you complete entry instructions after booking.

Yes — and it’s one of the most popular additions. After the biblical tour of the mainland, many groups extend with a 3–4 night Greek Isles cruise visiting Santorini, Mykonos, and Rhodes. It’s a wonderful way to combine the pilgrimage with some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe. Write to us and we’ll build it into your quote.

Greece involves real walking — ancient sites have uneven terrain, cobblestones, and steps. The ascent to Mars Hill in Athens, for example, involves climbing ancient stone steps. We move at a comfortable group pace with built-in stops for reflection and prayer. Most participants in their 60s and 70s complete the tour comfortably. If you have specific health concerns, tell us at registration and we’ll discuss your situation personally.
