My name is Jan-Olof Johansson from Sweden. I came to Jerusalem for the first time in January 1973 for theological studies for almost a year. Since then, I have visited The Holy Land every year to meet my friends, sometimes making TV-programs and more and more as a pilgrimage leader.
I am now retired as Bishop of The Church of Sweden, a Lutheran one, and spend quite a lot of time in The Holy Land.
For more than 30 years, I know Mr. Rizek Petro and his family and have been cooperating with them all the time. He has made all arrangements for me and my projects.
He never failed! Everything works so well and smoothly. He is a professional with a personal approach. And when you are in the country, you can call him any time if you get in trouble, and he will answer 24 hours, day and night.
I have recommended him, and his company to many colleges and all of them are quite satisfied. So I give him my best recommendation, and if you get to work with him, you are lucky.
For more than 20 years, our friends at Petro Logos Tours have provided excellent service during our many trips to the Holy Land. As we have hosted student groups from the US, business and government leaders from many countries, plus global faith community leaders, each of our guests gives raving reviews of their experiences while being cared for by this knowledgeable team of caring professionals. Without reservation, we highly recommend them for your next visit.
It gives me great pleasure to endorse the services I received from my Israeli Travel Agent, Mr. Rizek Petro, who is planning to continue his excellent work, with his sons, in his new company, Petro Logos Tours, based in Jerusalem.
Mr. Petro and I coordinated the successful completion of approximately 35 tours of the Holy Land for my Sri Lankan clients. I acted as the tour leader in these tours, and all the tours were handled with exceptional professionalism. Mr. Petro kept to the plans and itineraries we had agreed on with no problems. All the holy sites and tours we had arranged for my clients were adhered to without any delays or changes.
The hotel accommodation and food on all the tours were better than we had promised our clients.
I wish Mr. Petro and his sons all success in their new endeavor.
I recomend Petros Logos Tours for your pilgramage in the Holy Land. Petro Logos Tours are great! And I have traveled with them in many occations as an attendent and tour leader. I am sure that Carlos will help you planing the itinerary accordingly to your wisit. He is the manager together with his father mr. Rizek, and are good friends of mine. Carlos will help you planning this pilegramage. Do write to him.
This is a catholic company, and have lots of expiriance in the Holy Land, helpfull in every way to give the group a blessed pilgramage in the Holy Land. I recommend that you ask for Joseph as a tour guide and Zaeed as the buss driver (they are excellent!).
In Christ,
Nous avons emmené en Israël à Pâques 2019 pendant une semaine nos enfants et nos petits-enfants soit un total de 15 personnes pour fêter en famille nos 50 ans de mariage.
Nous voulions un programme « sur mesure » permettant à toute la famille à la fois de visiter la Terre Sainte, de se détendre et de passer le triduum pascal à Jérusalem pour fêter Pâques de façon chrétienne.
Sur la recommandation d’un de nos fils, nous nous sommes adressés à l’agence Petro Logos Tour pour organiser ce séjour.
Bien nous en a pris, car nous avons bénéficié d’un accueil chaleureux, d’un minibus de 19 places conduit par un chauffeur palestinien sympathique, accompagné d’un guide israélien érudit, en faisant des haltes dans des hôtels confortables dont un à Jéricho en Cisjordanie dans l’hôtel avec piscine géré par Petro Logos Tour, le tout pour un budget tout à fait raisonnable.
Nous ne pouvons que recommander cet organisme dirigé par son propriétaire, Mr Rizek Petro, et ses enfants qui répondent de façon flexible et attentionnée aux demandes pour satisfaire au mieux les groupes qu’ils accueillent.
What can I say? Wonderful hosts that make you feel like home in Jerusalem. Highly recommended
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. – Dr Maya Angelou
It has been close to 2 years since our Holy Land Pilgrimage in Dec 2019 but we will never forget how Mr Rizek Petro and Mr Carlos Petro made us feel. Their warm welcome to us at the airport, the personalised planned itinerary that was brought alive after our planning emails, the extra effort at personalising how they made us feel, the long hours of driving in and out of zones to help bring a late luggage to our group, etc. They really went out of their way to ensure our security and comfort and we thank God, and are very grateful and really appreciative for everyone and everything that made the pilgrimage a success.
We pray for the continued success of Petros Logos and we can vouch for and recommend their services.
We are looking forward to going to the Holy Land again!
Thank you very much.
Commendation due to Professionality and Humanity
My name ist Eckehard Fröhmelt. I am Reverend of one of the major Protestant Churches in Germany. As Tour Guide of a german tourist group of 25 members I had been in Israel in May 2022. PETRO LOGOS TOURS was our Israeli travel partner agency. We were excellent accompanied by PETRO LOGOS TOURS and felt therefore safe and soothed during our stay. One day one of our group members suffered from sudden brainstroke in Jericho. In our despair we asked PETRO LOGOS TOURS for help. The Israeli agency reacted promptly and provided the patient with ambulance and in short time she was transferred to Jericho hospital and later on to Jerusalem hospital and without saying PETRO LOGOS TOURS took the advance payment for the hospitals.
Within days our patient recoverd. It was PETRO LOGOS TOURS with the owners Rizek and Carlos, father and son, who helped with their uncomplicated and quick decisions to save the life of one of our travel group members. It was an overwhelming experience in professionality and humanity with that fantastic travel agency. Thank you! God bless you, family and company, Rizek and Carlos! We never won‘t forget you.

My wife and I booked a private excursion with Petro Logos Tours from Jerusalem to Petra and return to Jerusalem originally for April 2020. For approximately 2 1/2 years due to COVID-19 our trip was delayed, put on hold and rescheduled several times. Petros Logos Tours was very patient during that time period and kept us informed with reliable information along the way. I’m pleased to report that we finally made the trip in early October 2022. It was absolutely PERFECT!!! The private driver/guide that was selected by Petro Logos Tours, including the hotel at the entrance of Petra, was fantastic and our excursion to visit Petra was definitely worth waiting 2 1/2 years!! I highly recommend Petro Logos Tours. Their knowledge, customer service and attention to every detail is absolutely spectacular.
While travelling to Israel, my mum and a friend got into an emergency situation and needed immediate help due to serious illness. PETRO LOGOS TOURS helped them tremendously – they did the translation work, arranged and booked new hotels, took care of their luggage etc. We were really impressed by their quick help, professional attitude, friendliness and cordiality and can highly recommend them to anybody travelling to Israel. Thank you so much, Rizek Petro and family, for everything you’ve done for them! ❤️
