Upon arrival in Aegina you can either join the excursion to the majestic 5th century BC Temple of Aphaia (optional tour), which is regarded as the best preserved ancient temple of Greece offering a magnificent view of the whole Saronic Gulf, or walk around the main town. Aegina, is known for its rich history, inspiring pistachio grove landscapes, Aegina harbor’s lively fish market and colorful floating fruit and vegetable marketplace as well as picturesque seaside villages such as St. Marina with its taverns, traditional shops and beautiful golden beaches. Sailing to Poros, the smallest of the three islands. Poros town quietly nestled in the embrace of deep green pine forests and mildly scented lemon groves. Strolling about the town, you will come across the town-hall, the archaeological museum, the municipal library, the cultural hall. A climb to the town’s magnificent bell tower offers an unforgettable view. Buffet lunch on board. Finally, re-embark for the sail back to Athens port at 19:00 and transfer to the hotel.

Hi to Heavenly Tours, My sister and I have just returned last week from a tour to Israel with tour leader, Veon Julius , and had a wonderful experience visiting so many areas and experiencing all these places firsthand that we had only read about before. Veon was great to have as tour leader and we had a wonderful group of 13 South Africans on tour and we all got along very well. Danny Levin was excellent as the tour guide in Israel and was extremely knowledgeable and even went the extra mile by offering to take some members of the group at night on the train to the old city market in Jerusalem, to experience it at night as  our hotel was not far from the train station.

Dear Ben, I just want to say many thanks to you and the whole group of Heavenly Tours. I enjoyed the Israel tour very much, its a journey I will cherish forever. Veon is an amazing tour leader and an awesome woman of God. Danny was also a blessing to us all!! It was a priviledge to have gotten to know everyone in the group and to have shared our testimonies. I will definitely be calling Heavenly Tours for any further travels. Blessings Leandre van der Westhuizen

We thank Hashem for the Jewish nation who so respectfully preserve the Holy Land and all the sacred sites of both Christianity and Islam. I am sure that I speak on behalf of all on the tour when I say that we can and will personally recommend your tour to others with the utmost confidence. Again, my most sincere thanks and my only complaint? The tour was too short!! If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

Your input was valuable in letting us realize the importance of the pioneers who survived the Holocaust and despite extreme hardships, returned to make Israel the marvellous, successful country it is today.

Thank you for arranging a well-synchronized, smooth and safe trip to the Holy Land for us. Our guide, Dror Friedman taught us a lot and besides being extremely knowledgeable, he is also a considerate and very respectful man.

Thank you so much for arranging this wonderful tour that you did for us. I am so glad that I had found Heavenly Tours, because it has been my dream to go to the Holy Land for many years, and it finally came true! What an incredible experience! In fact, I would love to go on more tours of yours because I know that you are a very kind trustworthy person. Please let me know of any tours to Turkey or Greece coming up in future...preferably in the school holidays. See you soon.
