About Us

Specialists in worldwide group travel. Organising ABTA, IATA & ATOL protected group travel for over 30 years. Family ran business built on customer service and value. Israel specialists.

We are proud to be a third generation family business with really strong ties to escorted group travel.
Our business started over 30 years ago when Maurice Thompson (now grandfather of the business) decided to start to bring church groups to Israel. Maurice was well known throughout the north an south of Ireland for his journeys and strong ties to Israel for many years before he unfortunately passed away on his 52nd visit to the Holy Land.
Sharon (Maurice’s daughter) then stepped into the position of company director and over 25 years and still counting diversified to not only bring those to Israel but to organise group travel for schools, sports teams, private organisations, charity organisations and much more on a worldwide scale. Furthermore our business now not only organises travel for those from north and south Ireland but for groups from USA, Australia and many more.
Jason (Sharon’s son) has now also been part of the business for a number of years making us a third generation family business. In a time where the ‘online’ presence seems to be the demise of so many well-known and local family businesses we are proud to still be running for over 30 years with an ever-growing team. We put our success down to expert knowledge, experience and ability between all of our excellent team.
We hold all ABTA, ATOL & IATA licenses. Whether you are the group leader or one of those on a tour you can rest assured your money is safe with Faith & Culture Tours, a brand name of the award-winning Thompson Travel International.
