Custom Biblical Tours was founded over 15 years ago by Jeni and Brian Stivale out of a deep love for the Land of the Bible and the people who call it home.

After relocating to Israel, Brian and Jeni developed a profound passion for introducing others to the land they came to know as HOME. As Bible teachers and pastors, their devotion to the Word of God and Biblical archaeology inspired them to bring their first group to Israel in 2011 — and they have been guiding pilgrims ever since.

In 2021, Jeni felt led to expand beyond Israel into other biblically significant regions. What began with a “Footsteps of Paul” journey through Greece quickly grew to include Italy and Turkey, walking where Paul and the Apostles lived, preached, and transformed the world.

Custom Biblical Tours was birthed from a conviction: that people from all religious and financial backgrounds should have the opportunity to experience the lands of the Bible in a meaningful and personal way.

Not rushed.

Not overcrowded.

Not overpriced.

Rather than large, prefabricated bus tours that visit only the typical tourist sites, Custom Biblical Tours creates intimate, immersive experiences. You’ll dine with locals instead of eating in the same hotel restaurant each night. You’ll explore beyond the surface. You’ll engage the land, the culture, and the Scriptures in ways that bring the Bible to life.

At a time when many biblical tours have become financially out of reach, Custom Biblical Tours is committed to making pilgrimage accessible — because we believe everyone should have the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of our faith.

With Custom Biblical Tours, you will experience far more than a trip.

Brian and Jeni introduce you to a land and a people that will forever mark your heart. They welcome you into FAMILY — or as they say in Israel, mishpucha.

They will help you create the pilgrimage of your dreams… and inspire you to fall in love with the Word of God all over again.
