Our ten day trip to Israel to celebrate my son’s bar-mitzvah couldn't have gone any better. From the early planning stages through our return home, everything went off without a hitch. With family members coming in from different cities, some joining en route and others wanting to stay in different hotels, I thought it was going to be a scheduling nightmare, but your clear and concise itineraries kept everyone on track. With the VIP treatment at the airport and smooth transfers, we were all there and ready to start our tour before we knew it.
I also cannot say enough about our guide. He is extremely well informed, not only from an historical perspective, but is happy to discuss modern Israel, its politics and even pop music. He kept everyone entertained and happy, from pre-teens to grandparents. He is also very well known!
Every place we went we were welcomed warmly and given special treatment. That was also true at the hotels, where we were given the best rooms. I doubt there is a suite in Jerusalem with a better view of the old city. So many people made us promise to say hello to Susan in Miami that we lost count.
Finally, the twinning program at Yad Vashem and the bar-mitzvah ceremony on top of Masada were certainly the most moving and memorable moments of the trip. All in all, we had fun, experienced and learned a lot, and have precious memories that will last a lifetime.
