About Us

Anton Albina Sr. at Jerusalem Airport 1959

Albina Tours is a family-owned and operated Christian tour operator that was founded in 1949 by the late Anton Albina Sr. Since then, Albina Tours has become one of the most experienced and client oriented tour operators in the Holy Land.

As an indigenous Christian family, we realize the special needs of visitors coming on a Christian Pilgrimage. Our personalized and complete service distinguishes our company from others in our field. With over half a century of experience and commitment, serving hundreds of thousands of pilgrims throughout the years, our multilingual staff has always fulfilled their promise of giving the best tours and services in the region.

Over the years, Albina Tours has been enhancing the experience of pilgrimages through meetings with the indigenous Christians of the Holy Land.  This, we feel, breaks the barrier between the Christians of the West and the local communities of the Holy Land.  Getting to know the locals and listening to their stories brings the world closer together.

Albina Tours has also been active in helping the local Christians in their daily life.  Donations to local communities and centers are part of our effort to helping the local Christians cope with the daily hardship of life where Christians are the minority in the land of Christianity.  Among other things, Albina Tours donates money for school tuitions at Christian schools as well as rations over the Holidays for Christian families that need them.  We encourage all pilgrims to take part in getting to know the locals of the Holy Land and  help in any way possible to try to keep the Christians from becoming scarce where they are most needed.
