Boutique Adventures where Biblical Archeology Meets Fine Travel

1 of 5

There are things about the Bible that you'll never know until you go.

If you've ever traveled on a big bus tour, you know there are sites along the way you'll never get to see. Moreover, you rarely have direct access to Biblical scholars with insight about the culture and lifestyle of the earliest Church.

At Simka, we craft individually inspired, small boutique adventures where Biblical archeology meets fine travel.
