We are home and slowly adjusting to the time change and all of the laundry!  I wanted to reach out to tell you what a fantastic time we had in Israel and Petra. The coordination you put together was PERFECT.

First let me compliment you on all of the driving services and VIP airport service.  It was great that everyone showed up early, was ready for us, and it took all of the thinking out of this part of the trip. Traveling to and from the airports and navigating through them was a piece of cake.

I need to reach out and tell you how fabulous Ofra, our guide was.  She was the ultimate professional.  So nice, so sweet and so knowledgeable. She was always early, waiting at our hotel 20-30 minutes before our meeting time. She knows everything about Israel, she is like a walking history book. Her van was brand new, and she always had cold water ready. I can not say enough and I would recommend her for anyone there.  She is one of the best!  We really missed her after we said goodbye after day 7.

I also need to thank you for the private guide at Yad Vashem.  He was amazing, with a very personal holocaust story about his mother which he shared.  His story as he took us through the museum was great.  Honestly, we could have spent more time there.

Also, a personal thank you for the foot massages in Tel Aviv.  It was such a nice treat and helped us relax after all the running we had done the previous week.  

The special treats when we checked into the hotels did not go unnoticed either!

We once again appreciate all of the details you added to the trip.  Thank you for making this a wonderful memory for our family!!!

We have not stopped talking since we left Jerusalem about what a trip of a lifetime we had. It was incredible, and seamless. I can’t even begin to express our appreciation and admiration for the perfect trip you put together for us. Eilon was quite simply the most interesting person we have ever met. He was so much more than just “a guide” and was our trusted friend and companion for a week. It’s impossible to overstate how much we liked him, and how sad it was to say farewell.
 
The transfers were seamless as well. We breezed through the airports with the aid of your arrangements. The hotels were impeccable. Everything was first rate.

Thank you Susan. You are very, very good at what you do.

As we sit here at Ben Gurion airport waiting for our flight, we'll use this time to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip to Israel & Jordan as well as ALL YOU DID to make it a success.  Both guides were wonderful, knowledgeable, caring and a pleasure to spend time with. Thank you for arranging the delicious lunch with Yuval at an Armenian restaurant in Israel. Our Jordanian guide surprised us with a chorus of "happy birthday"and a cake on Joel's birthday.

Everything has lived up to our very best expectations and we are so grateful for all the special details that you customized in the  FABULOUS itinerary you created in both countries. The only regret is that we now have to leave.

So on behalf of all four of us, thank you SO VERY MUCH!

   We had a spectacular trip, start to finish, thanks to Susan’s expert planning.  The highlights included our quintessential guide, Lior, whose knowledge and expertise deeply enhanced our understanding of the countries’ contemporary issues. He is also a pleasure to be with!
   We had so much fun at both the Jerusalem and Tel Aviv food market tastings, and honestly all of the activities, sightseeing and accommodations that Susan recommended were spot on. We look forward to planning our next trip with her!

We cannot thank you enough for planning the most SPECTACULAR vacation!  In addition to all of the historical sites and key attractions (The Dead Sea & Ein Gedi), we really enjoyed the special activities you planned - who knew I would find graffiti interesting?!?! The Caliber 3 experience was so much fun - and the food tour was fascinating (and quite yummy).

As we left Bethlehem - we said - thank G-d for Susan!  It would have been quite the project planning that on our own.

We had the best view of the old city from our room at the King David.  The Scots was such a unique and wonderful hotel with great service.  And the Jaffa was a nice way to end the trip in pure luxury with excellent service.

We highly recommend Yuval as our Israel guide, Shir (graffiti tour), and Ruthie (Delicious Israel in Tel Aviv).

Every meal (and quick bite) we had was incredible - please be sure to refer your future clients to the restaurant at the Hotel Montefiore - if not Kosher - get the spare ribs!!

I timed how long (short) it took us to get from our car in Tel Aviv to the lounge - 12 minutes!  WOW!

I look forward to sharing your information with friends and family who are traveling to Israel in the future.

Thank you again!
Ira

We had the most amazing time in Israel.  You did a fantastic job.

Each day was better than the day before. Eilon was wonderful! The restaurants were all great!
Rabbi Bearman did a good job. Also thank you for the foot massages! That was such a nice surprise.

Thank you so much for everything. We will definitely recommend you to anyone who asks!

Just a quick note to thank you for putting together such an amazing itinerary for the nine of us.  I know that you worked hard on this, and your hard work paid off.  Everything we did and every place we went was terrific; you included plenty of fun activities for the kids (and grown ups too), as well as things that none of the adults (who had been to Israel many times before) have ever seen or done.  I must say that the excursion through the tunnel in the City of David was fantastic and a definite highlight.

Our guide Yuval who you chose for us, was definitely the best. He was amazing from the first minute we met to our final goodbye. He was wonderful with the kids, and put up with the adults!!! Yuval went above and beyond to be accommodating every day and could not have been a better match for our group. I don’t know if you have anything to do with arranging the driver, but Yakov was terrific as well.

The two young men who you arranged to walk us through the airport and customs for our departure were worth their weight in gold. It was a quick, painless and easy procedure.

Thanks again for an unforgettable trip!

The trip that you organized for our family was GREAT overall and we truly had a wonderful time in Israel & Petra.  Highlights of our trip were the Calibre 3 anti terrorism training, the Palmach Museum, the activities that you arranged for us around the Beresheet Hotel, the cooking experience in Petra and our guide Lior who is really exceptional and a 10 out of 10.

Thank you for everything and next year in Jerusalem!
