Additional Information
Have you ever wandered through a huge museum wondering what you should be seeing, or perhaps feeling like you’re missing out on something? Do you want to make the Bible come alive in a life-changing way?
In this semi-private guided tour, you’ll stand in front of ancient artifacts while discussing the Bible.
You will get to connect Bible passages to the artifacts, then place it in a timeline so that you will understand the Bible like never before. Verses will no longer just be words on the page when you see an artifact from that same time period bring the passage to life. As you place each event on the timeline, you will understand how they relate to each other in history.
Encounter 40-ton Assyrian statues, Egyptian pharaohs, Roman emperors and more. The artifacts range in age from 2000 - 3500 years old.
The tour covers Mesopotamia, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome.

Putting the pieces together - David was very thorough and descriptive in his explanations of the physical artifacts and how they coordinated with the written scriptural accounts. Our group was thrilled to learn and digest so many connections we did not realize. David, thank you for your dedication, your research, and your delivery. I would recommend David’s tour to everyone.

Great tour great tour guide - David was extremely knowledgeable of how the historic artifacts tie in to the bible. The accuracy of the biblical record of real people, real places, & real events is connected with the artifacts in a clear, logical, & accurate way. Real evidence of the accuracy of the Bible that makes the 3 hour tour fly by. Great tour with great tour guide. If you are a bible student or wanting historical backup - a must see.

This tour surpassed all my expectations - This tour surpassed all my expectations - David's profound knowledge of the Bible coupled with his captivating storytelling breathed life into seemingly irrelevant artifacts mentioned in the Bible. The interactive format further heightened my engagement throughout the entire experience. I found myself completely engrossed, losing track of time until the museum staff politely reminded us of its closing. Whether you hold Christian faith or simply wish to delve into biblical history, choosing David as your guide is an absolute no-brainer.
