-
Does the package include all major meals (breakfast-lunch-dinner) for the day? Yes. And then some… :-) Other meals (airport) or snacks will be an individual expense.
-
I am not a Catholic or a Christian, can I still join? You are very much welcome. You are not required to attend masses that will be celebrated during the trip. While you wait for the masses to end, you may stay at a designated area with our guides.
-
Can someone outside of the country join the pilgrimage? Yes. We can furnish you with the pricing exclusively for the land arrangements, and additionally, we can offer guidance on suitable flight options departing from your country of origin. Please ensure to specify your place of departure when making your inquiry.
-
What travel documents do I need to have? Every Filipino citizen venturing beyond the borders of the country must possess a passport with a minimum validity of six months until their return to the Philippines.
-
Can I use my Credit Card to pay? Unfortunately, our company is still not capable of accepting Credit Card payments. Cash or wire transfers will be our mode of payment.
-
How about VISA requirements? Filipino nationals are exempted to obtain a visa for journeys to Israel. However, Filipino citizens must obtain a visa for visits to Jordan and Egypt. This will be taken care of by our team.
-
How are the rooms assigned? It is a 2-person shared room. You will be paired with someone dear to you or someone you know, or, if you are travelling alone, of the same sex. Do not worry. We will make sure that you are safe and comfortable.
-
What currency is used in the entire trip? It’s usually the US dollar. We recommend that you bring smaller denominations of the US dollar since most establishments (even comfort rooms) accept or even require it.
-
How do I get my tickets, visas and other things I need for the trip? Everything will be given to you before the trip. (Except if you are coming from outside the Philippines. You will have to purchase your ticket in your place of origin.)
-
What is the general mood while on pilgrimage? Since it is a pilgrimage, we will be expected to be in a solemn (meditative/silent/respectful/loving) mood especially during masses and when we are in sacred places of worship. But we will surely have fun in many other occasions (exploring places, walking, group pictures, eating, while in the bus, etc).
-
Do we have a priest-chaplain? Yes. He will be in charge of celebrating the masses and also in answering some of our Biblical queries.
-
Who will accompany us during the trip? Of course, I (Martius) will be there with you. The Holy Land is part of my research for my dissertation (Phd in Theology). I will help you understand the places and I will make sure that everything is okay. A priest-chaplain will also be present. Likewise, experienced and licensed tour guides will accompany us all throughout.
-
Is Israel a safe place? Absolutely. It is one of the most highly secured places in the world. The Holy sites are protected not only by Christians but even Jews and Muslims. We will never compromise anyone’s safety and security.
-
What are other important things do I need to know about the trip? Don't worry. We will have orientations before the trip.
