What Your Peers are Saying
We wanted to say thank you for all your hard work organizing our pilgrimage. We had the experience of a lifetime. Everything worked out wonderfully. The flights were on time and went smoothly. The guides were very knowledgeable. 5 star experience and will be happy to refer others to Select International.
We were Wowed by all of the places we were able to see. This Pilgrimage hit all of the places we wanted to see. Other Tours required two Pilgrimages to cover the visits we saw on this one Pilgrimage.
…you are visiting so many places of religious significance, it was amazing. This was one of the greatest experiences I have ever been on in my life.
Select removed all the thinking and planning for the trip which was great! It was nice not having to worry about the hotels and food. Also, our tour guides were amazing!! Select does a good job choosing Catholic tour guides. A lot of fun, and I would recommend again.
Why Choose Select?
Once again, let me say how good it is to be a pilgrim with Select International! I feel I have a connection with the Holy Land that cannot ever be separated. It is in my heart and soul. Thank you and your staff for making it possible.

Select is not just another tour company. Beyond the refreshing professionalism of the staff, every inch of the journey was imbued with deep Catholic meaning and sensibility, which transformed what would have been in any case a lovely and culturally interesting journey, into an authentic pilgrimage.
I can’t believe I floated through Paris and went to Mass in 800-year-old gothic churches and walked in the footsteps of some of my favorite saints. Every detail of this pilgrimage was planned meticulously by Select International Tours so that those of us on the trip can just focus on experiencing everything.
I can’t find the words to describe how wonderful this trip was, just to be able to visit the places where Jesus was born, grew up, preached, and the city where he suffered, died and rose from the dead. This was the best trip ever.

Your Trip Supports Christians Living in the Holy Land
Our Mission
The Holy Land (Jordan, Israel, and Palestine) is home to over 350,000 Christians, most of whom are descendants of Jesus’ disciples and those whom the disciples converted. Sixty years ago, Christians accounted for about 18% of the population of the Holy Land; now they are only about 2%. There remain about 50,000 Christians in the Palestinian territories. The Select to Give Foundation exists to help the Christians of the Holy Land! Through the funding and creation of programs and partnerships, we support innovative community efforts to help Christians achieve a safer and more prosperous existence.
Your Trip Supports This Mission
Select International Tours donates a portion of every registration to Select to Give. 100% of the donations received by Select to Give directly support Christians living in the Holy Land through various programs. To learn more, please visit:
