This is not sightseeing. This is the Bible coming alive

Most people read about Ephesus, Smyrna, and Laodicea their whole lives — from a pew, from a page. This journey puts you inside the story.

You’ll stand in the theater where Paul preached in Acts 19. You’ll walk the streets of Laodicea where Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.” You’ll pray where the early church prayed — in the ruins of Pergamon, in the sacred pools of Hierapolis, in the underground cities where Christians hid to survive.

No amount of reading prepares you for what it feels like to be there.

When you return home, you will:

3 domestic flights — already included in your price

Most travelers don’t realize how far apart these cities are — or how much domestic flights cost when booked independently. These tickets run $300–500 per person and require separate booking, check-in, and logistics.

In this tour, domestic flights are included in your price. We book them on your behalf. You don’t search, you don’t book, you don’t pay extra. You just show up.

That’s $600–1000 in flights per couple — already taken care of.

      Ephesus was one of the leading cities of the Seven Churches of Revelation and was once a bustling port town with wide, colonnade-bordered streets and a population of 250,000.

Explore the ancient site virtually at the Ephesus Experience Museum, where you will see life in Paul’s time. We will view the terrace houses, also known as "the houses of the rich," which give a true impression of the ancient lifestyle. The ancient world once declared the Temple of Artemis to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World, but today, only a single column remains to mark its site. After enjoying Ephesus, you will embark on another Turkish experience at a carpet factory, where you will enjoy a local lunch and a presentation.

Stand on Mars Hill as the Apostle Paul did when he proclaimed, "I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.” Travel to the city of Corinth, where the Apostle Paul met fellow tentmakers Aquila and Priscilla and received a vision from the Lord saying, "I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.” As Paul spoke, Crispus (chief ruler of the synagogue) and many others believed and were baptized, establishing the church at Corinth to whom Paul later wrote his two epistles. Discover the archaeological museum, marketplace, and temples. As you walk among the ruins, stand on the Bema, where the Apostle Paul stood before Gallio to face charges brought against him by the Jews.
