At My Global Tours Group, we offer unforgettable journeys to the world’s most fascinating destinations and museums. As creators of My Virtual Bible Tour, we bring the same passion to our in-person tours, blending historical exploration with spiritual enrichment. Our team, comprised of Jehovah’s Witnesses, shares a deep love for the Bible, museums, and archaeology. We bring the Bible to life through tangible archaeological evidence of fulfilled prophecies. Join us to experience history and faith in a truly remarkable way.

This was my fourth trip with you all, and as usual our tour guides, Jose Fernando and Liza, were conscientious, knowledgable, kept us informed, and very organized. The hotel accomodations were 4star. At each biblical site, we were provided details and scriptual references; really bringing the experience to life. The guides on the bus and all four Dmitri drivers, made their contribution to the trip enjoyable as well. They were informative, the ride was comfortable and we were entertained with tidbits of various events and personal experiences. In my opinion, the transition to the cruise part of the trip and subsequent tour guides was not as seamless as I would have liked. There were a few concerns on the cruise that had nothing to do with Global Tours. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the spiritually enriched experience.

An adventure that I didn't know I needed! Would definitely recommend!

By Rosemary W for Greece Tour: Experience Paul's Ministry (Land/Cruise) on Nov 18, 2025

It was amazing! Thats what Ive been telling everyone who asked. I appreciated the organization and care that was provided by Jose and Thannos enabling us to move from one place to another with ease. I appreciated how the scriptural references for each place we visited were shared so we could really imagine Paul's journey. The tour guides were incredibly knowledgable. The hotel accommodations went from adequate to wonderful. Everyone in the group was kind and considerate. It was an amazing trip, very well done!

Faith Strengthen trip!

By Nagako I for Greece Tour: Experience Paul's Ministry (Land/Cruise) on Nov 16, 2025

It was an incredible two weeks meeting friends from all over the US and Canada the laughs the hugs. To see where our first century, brothers and sisters walked and preached. A step back in time so. Faith straightening, I recommend it to any who are able.

Visiting Egypt was like stepping into the pages of a Biblical history book—very vibrant and awe-inspiring. From the bustling streets of Cairo to the tranquil temples of Luxor and the mysterious appeal of the pyramids, this trip offered a perfect blend of ancient wonder and modern adventure. We started in Cairo and ended in Cairo, a city of contrasts—chaotic yet charming. We went on a camel ride, which felt touristy—but magical nonetheless. Still can’t believe I swam in the Red Sea with it’s robust Biblical history. The Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor was a definite highlight. I kept looking in amazement and curiously wondered with every passing bush or shrub if that’s the location that Moses was found in the basket. Gliding along the river, we visited sites that felt untouched by time. The museums and temples were spectacular, especially Karnak with its massive columns and intricate hieroglyphs. Egyptian cuisine was delicious—I certainly enjoyed the fresh falafel and grilled meats. We were also struck by the hospitality of the people. Locals were warm, welcoming, and eager to share their culture. I have been to many places in the world. However, this was by far, the best vacation I’ve ever had! What made it extra special was our wonderful tour guides, the Acostas, and also traveling with an awesome group of happy people who share the same spiritual values and morals. It was an exhilarating and spiritually uplifting experience. Stalin and Vielka Acosta did an amazing job organizing this trip. They were super accommodating and patient with the friends. “For all your travel plans— especially those to destinations rich in biblical history—please be sure to book through My Global Tours-it makes a huge difference. Finally, "Egypt is safe, it is a land of wonders. It’s intense, unforgettable, and humbling. Whether you’re a history buff or just someone who craves adventure, Egypt will leave a lasting impression.
