​What a fabulous first day you planned for us in Israel! We loved our cooking adventure with Sevim--we enjoyed our walk and her introducing us to some of her favorite spots. Lori and I both stocked up on Israeli spices; the food and group preparation was so much fun and we all learned a lot.  We love the hotel you chose for us; it's very special and everyone has been wonderful and so welcoming.

How special that you to treated us to the amazing foot massage with Rony. She was really lovely and the foot massage helped to relax and soothe our feet after so much traveling & walking. We are so appreciative of your generosity in treating us in this special way.

We can’t thank you enough for helping to create an amazing first Israeli experience. We were very sad to say goodbye to Eilon yesterday- We all fell in love with him and felt like he helped our time here feel intimate, rich, safe and so much fun! Everywhere we went he had another story for us and people told us how fortunate we were to have him as our guide. I know I speak for all of us in thanking you for taking such good care of us. 

Alan and I thank you for arranging an outstanding 12 day private tour to Israel. Our tour went so smoothly, without any glitches; our hotel selections were wonderful: The David Citadel in Jerusalem, Kfar Blum in the Galilee, and the Carlton, in Tel Aviv. Our accommodations were all upgraded, our dinner reservations, flawlessly arranged, as were our airline tickets. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. 
We had the pleasure of experiencing the outstanding services of Israel Garfinkel as our tour guide. His comprehensive knowledge and attitude were impressive. He was always ready to serve the needs and wishes of my husband and myself, providing long lasting and positive memories of our trip to Israel. And, he’s a great driver, as well!
We thank you, Susan, for providing such an excellent guide.

Our Ethiopian experience was more than we hoped for, with not only an incredible story of a brave young woman, but tastes of a wonderful Ethiopian lunch, as well. Our jeep tour in the Golan Heights was so informative; Eitan was enthusiastic, and we always felt safe.
​ 
The day at the Dead Sea was rainy, but we experienced a wonderful few hours in the pool and spa.
Spending time with the brave and dedicated soldiers was truly a highlight; inspirational and very emotional.
We wouldn’t hesitate to use you again, Susan. We think you’re an amazing travel consultant who leaves no stone unturned.

And, hopefully we will have a return trip to Israel, and be able to experience Mr Garfinkel’s services, once again.

  Just a little note to thank you for the marvelous trip you arranged for us to Israel and Jordan. It was a perfect combination of history, culture, beauty, adventure and great fun. We were so excited to go and as a photographer I was so interested in seeing what Israel was and is today. It satisfied in every way.
  We can’t say enough about our guide. Every day that we were with him was an adventure. His knowledge of Israel and the Middle East, it’s history, people, politics was boundless.  We felt that he was totally in the moment with us, watched over us, shared his great stories, made us laugh and cared so much. Mostly, he is an incredible human being and his humanity, value of  family and the joy he has in his work and country inspired us. We feel as if we have made a friend for life.
  It would be impossible to pick our favorite day.  Jerusalem, Massada, the Dead Sea Tiberius, Safed, our visit to the kibbutz, jeep ride, Golan and the borders, Tel Aviv, Mitzpe Ramon etc, etc, as well as our magical time in Jordan—how can you choose!  It was all perfect.
  Most importantly, it was the care and insight with the planning that made the difference.  I felt as if you got to know us so well although we have never met face to face (hopefully that will change). The hotels were just to our taste as well as the special art tours, the meeting with wonderful Hava (and hearing about her extraordinary life and courage), all the guides and  artists we met and the feeling that you were looking out for us from across the sea—all were exceptional.
  It’s been a month since we have been home but it still feels as if we are there—and that is incredibly special.  With all the traveling we have done, I don’t think I have  ever felt so emotionally attached to a place as I do to Israel. We really can’t wait to go back.

So thank you, thank you, thank you.

​Just wanted to write a quick note to thank you for the arrangements on the trip and for the little extras (foot massage for Jami, mud packs, etc.). It was such a wonderful trip and a truly special experience for the kids. You were quite right about Lior. He was more than we could have hoped for in a guide. All in all​,​ it was amongst our best vacations ever. So, thank you very much​!

​Our trip was magical and we had the best time in Israel, thanks to your exceptional trip planning.  Doron was a terrific guide and we are so pleased to have experienced Israel with him as he is energetic, smart, well read and great company.  The trip exceeded our expectations and we have met wonderful Israeli people.  Thank you for the lovely wine and chocolates as well as the foot massage; what phenomenal treats & I appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity. You are right...being in Israel has been a dream come true for us!

Thank you so very much for an incredible trip!  From the first time we spoke about creating a customized trip for my 40th birthday with 7 of my friends to the moment we flew home, it was a wonderful experience.  Every day was flawlessly choreographed and executed, and all of the stress of planning and organizing was completely removed from my shoulders. 

There were so many memorable highlights throughout our 2 week trip through Israel and Jordan that it’s hard to pick a favorite.  We adored our Israeli guide, Eilon who had a way of connecting with each and every person on our trip.  He shared personal stories of his time in the army and experiences growing up on a kibbutz, which added so much more color and helped us to understand the history, culture, and people of the country.  We loved our days in Tel Aviv taking in the view of the Mediterranean, touring the beautiful Old City of Jerusalem and experiencing the Western Wall, our moving visit to Yad Vashem, the Caliber 3 experience learning from IDF soldiers, and our “unsinkable” swim in the Dead Sea.  We enjoyed our free time walking and shopping through the winding streets of Jaffa and Tzfat, and spending a few relaxing days in Eilat on the Red Sea.  Our 2 days in Jordan were equally memorable.  Once again we were in great hands with our guide Odeh for our breathtaking 4x4 ride through the desert of Wadi Rum and touring the incredible Rose City of Petra. We took in the culture, dining in a Bedouin camp and learned to make traditional dishes at Petra Kitchen.

I can’t thank you enough for your thoughtful attention to detail throughout the planning process and the trip itself.  You made this such a special trip for all of us, and I would absolutely recommend your services to anyone interested in visiting Israel and Jordan.
