Long before Christianity spread across the world, it took root in a handful of extraordinary communities along the coasts and plains of what is now Turkey and Greece. The Seven Churches of Revelation — Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea — are not just historical landmarks. They are the addresses to which the risen Christ sent his letters. To visit them is to stand at the very foundation of the Christian faith.
Redeem Travels offers dedicated Seven Churches of Revelation tours departing from New York, as well as broader itineraries following the Apostle Paul's missionary journeys through Turkey and Greece. These tours are among the most intellectually and spiritually rich we offer — ideal for Bible study groups, seminary students, theology enthusiasts, and any believer who wants to understand the world in which the New Testament was written.
