TESTIMONIALS
"America Israel Travel concentrate on meeting the special needs of tour
groups and their varied participants. With the 100 members of
our listener tour of Israel for the Michael Medved Show they
displayed sensitivity, skill and professionalism - as well as
insider knowledge of Israel and its many unforgettable attractions.
Many of our fellow-travelers expressed the opinion that this
tour represented one of their peak experiences in life - and
America Israel Travel certainly played a role in that"

"I just returned from a 10 day tour of the Holy Land, "In
the Footsteps of Jesus" and am delighted to report that
the trip was a complete success! Our guide Isaac Dorenbush was
knowledgeable, witty and completely accommodating to our needs.
I have traveled extensively through the Holy Land over the past
30 years, and can report that this is one of the best tours
ever. One of the tour group members reported to me, "Any
one day of this tour was worth the entire cost of the trip!"
Thank you for a job well done. I will use America Israel Travel again"

“I want you to know how much I appreciate all you did so that we could make that special lifetime memory together. Because of this trip and its experiences, they will never be the same. This trip helped to place a love in their hearts for the land and state of Israel as well as the Jewish people. For them the bible came to life and the people in the story became tangible who thy somehow were able to touch. From my point of view it was not only professional but also personal and the entire trip in every way was better then any thing I have ever experienced before. The kids fell in love with both Efi our bus driver and Shimon. Thy were able to become friends which allows them to puts faces to people in Israel who thy know on a personal level, and now no matter what the News or the united nations proclaims thy will know the real story. So again I want you to know that I deeply appreciate all the work and time that you put into this tour. The planning of this tour, and the way it happened would not have been possible with out you. Thanks again for all you did for us”.

"Our group has arrived back home safely from our trip. I want to thank you and your staff at America Israel travel. We had a fantastic journey lead by a wonderful tour guide. Our group thought Ze’ev was amazing and very insightful. You did a great job of coordinating our complicated group coming from several countries seamlessly. Our itinerary was ambitious, but our group received a wonderful sampling of all that Israel has to offer. As a first time group leader to Israel, you all made my job super easy and enjoyable. We look forward to taking another group in the future and hopefully working together".
Thank you again

Greetings from Jerusalem to our Family
and Friends,
"I wish you all
could be here with us. What an experience it has been already.
Everything in the tour has been beyond what we expected and
we have been impressed by the professional service provided
by America Israel Travel. We got the best tour guide in town
(Isaac) and had a powerful communion service at the Garden
Tomb. The presence of the Lord was there. We were all melted
in his presence. We have seen so much in Jerusalem and down
to the Dead Sea. I am taking video so we can show some of it
to all of you. The weather could not be better. The team has
been closely bonded together and transformed and they will never
look at the bible the same way as before. I already got a feeling
that when I get back everybody is going to want to go next year".
Shalom
from Jerusalem

“I
haven't hardly had time to catch my breath since returning from
Israel, but I wanted to write and say thank you for your part
in enabling us to have a great experience in Israel. I don't
know how things could have gone much better. The hotels were
right on target with what we needed. They were comfortable,
the rooms were clean, and the food both places were great. Gila
was very knowledgeable, professional and our group enjoyed her.
Our people loved the itinerary and the scheduling of Jerusalem
first and Galilee second proved to be fortunate in several ways.
As you can tell I am wanting feedback because I have enjoyed
seeing other people enjoy the Holy Land. A number of our participants
commented that the trip was more than they expected. That was
music to my ears! I'm already talking about the next trip. I
appreciate your professionalism and the way you have followed
through on your promises. I will call you in the near future”
God
bless you

“Congratulation
for your tour management and your full cooperation to eliminate
all the bumps we could have cross on our road. All of the group
was very happy from the tour and from your services. The Hotel
in Jerusalem - Grand Court was great. Our tour guide - Hanna
was amazing and she is an educated guide speaker. We will use America Israel Travel for our future tours. My group and many
more are ready to go back , this time to Egypt, Sinai and Israel.
It would be probably over 50 people”.
Pastor Renaut Cyrille
Peniel Haitian Baptist Church
" I wanted to thank you and your people for doing a tremendous job on our recent April 2010 trip to Egypt and Israel. As usual you all were very responsive to all needs that arose. You continue to amaze me at the high quality of tours you put together at such great prices. I have talked to others who have gone on tours and when I tell them about ours and our cost, they cannot believe it. All 49 on our tour have said over and over again what a great time they had and have asked me when are we going to go back. I tell them that in about 2 years we will return. I can't wait to get back to Israel and I can't wait to work with you again. BTW - the hotel in Tiberious was outstanding! Bless you all as you make it possible for so many to see the land of the Bible".

"The tour
was perfect and beyond. Adi, our driver, was exactly what I
had in mind, and Kinneret provided invaluable support throughout.
Moshe also informally provided a great deal of useful assistance.
The way our group was handled is a tribute to the people in
Israel you provided us and to your professional judgment! From
this you can safely infer that we will be working on another
one together next year - roughly at the same time. Heartfelt
gratitude for a job well done!"

“The
tour was absolutely wonderful! Was just getting ready
to call you and say thanks for everything. This was our
best trip yet. The Lord showed up in many powerful ways.
Pitch was great, he is so knowledgeable and one of the most
cooperative guides we've ever met. Benny our bus driver
was, Too. We loved both of them and would like to use
them again. Saw a lot of new things this time. Both
arrival and farewell dinners were excellent. Your staff
in Israel is so friendly and helpful. We loved both
Naomi and Ruth and the lady last year was very good, also.
We are thinking about May again next year”.
Pastor
Kenneth Sturgill
“ Let me say first of all that the trip was wonderful. We all had a moving and highly positive experience. Our guide, Ze'ev was absolutely terrific! I would tour with him again in a heartbeat. David, our driver, was also great. By the way, we will go again, perhaps in two years or so. Shelly or I will call you when we begin our planning. We were quite pleased with you and with America Israel Travel”.

“Everyone had a wonderful time. I was particularly impressed with Dani's respect for the Christian faith and his emphasis on scripture. The hotel accommodations and food were excellent. Some of the group who went on the Egypt-Jordan extension gave rave reviews to everything else on their extension. Thank you again for making our journey such a huge success. Rest assured that I will be using America Israel again in the future”.
Shalom,

“Not
only did I find everyone at America Israel Travel to be highly
professional , and certainly able to come up with a great price
and fabulous itinerary. I was very impressed by and very thankful
for the extra care and personal attention given to our tour
by Noam Matas and Sara Klein at every step in the planning and
booking of the flights and hotels, and in suggesting such an
outstanding guide and driver in Israel, and such a fabulous
hotel in Barcelona. I didn’t take a large group to Israel,
only a 33 of my friends and family members - but Noam made me
feel as if I was his biggest client of the year. When our international
carrier unexpectedly went on strike in the middle of out tour,
he knew just what to do and in a timely matter, so that in the
end, every person in my group had a way home- and if needed,
a hotel room for an overnight stay and a timely connection.
That was definitely going-the-second-mile service since most
of those touring with me had not booked their connection flights
with America Israel Travel. I am exceedingly grateful; for the
midnight hours Noam worked on our behalf

"Thank you so much for the trip. It was amazing and we loved every moment. Tikva and the driver were terrific and we had the most wonderful tour. We have been home for a week and I would go back tomorrow if I could. We will certainly refer you to all our friends planning trips to Israel in the coming year and really appreciate your effort in putting this together for us with such care. The itinerary was great and all ages had so much fun. Tikva taught us so much about Israel….her love and knowledge of the country was incredible and we will always have such great memories of this time in Israel". Thanks again
Cindy Taitz
"We want to thank you so much for making this trip one to remember. We are absolutely delighted with our guide Mr Osama in Egypt and the itinerary was everything we wished for and more. We are now in Jordan and our guide Mr Enad is very good. Our accommodation has been excellent. Transportation in Egypt was fantastic with a huge coach for the 10 of us and a wonderful Nile boat for the cruise. We have been spoilt and loved it. We look forward to our next few days in Jordan and Israel. We will be sure to recommend AIT for travel to everyone we know. Thank you once again for all you have done for us, Noam. You and your company have truly exceeded our expectations. I've attached a couple of group photos of our trip. We wish you and your team at AIT a happy festive season and a wonderful New Year in 2011”.

"Shalom, BRAVO! You made our first trip to Israel an extraordinary and memorable event! It was very positive and personally, highly emotional. It was delicious and informative in so many interesting and different ways, including the incredible Israeli breakfasts at the Dan Hotels in Tel Aviv and Eilat and the King David in Jerusalem! It was simply spectacular! We couldn't possibly thank you enough for the special care, promises kept and well planned and perfect itinerary of "The Ultimate Trip to Israel". You should be very proud of your heritage and how you helped us, as American Jews, to better understand our ancestry and cultural heritage. We have travelled extensively through Europe, Asia Australia and New Zealand. This was the best trip we have ever taken abroad! It was first class in every way because of your attention to all the details and the outstanding personal service and follow through of Shilgit, in Israel, the representative from your firm. She made us feel like family and was consistently looking out for our welfare. She brought us a level of comfort you simply don't expect on a group trip like this one. We have told many of our friends about the excellent and personal care your company provides. We hope someday to put together a group of our friends, children and grandchildren to share again the beauty, wonder, culture and history of Israel. We will certainly turn to you to provide all the essentials for this trip. Most of all we loved the people of Israel! The country is thriving with beautiful, radiant and delightful young people and lots and lots of children. We were deeply moved by all that we experienced and especially loved all the positive and enthusiastic signs for the future. My wife Alice and I celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary. We won't wait another 50 years to return to Israel. Thank you for enabling us to share in the blessings of this wonderful and beautiful country. We shall cherish our experiences in our hearts and souls"!
Most Sincerely,
H. Murray and Alice Blueglass
"It was FANTASTIC! You really arranged a top-notched trip for us, with you and your guides very accommodating to tweaks and changes of the itinerary. And the Bar Mitzvah couldn't have been more wonderful. I only have praise for the way you and your company handled our trip. Please feel free to use me as a reference". Thanks again.
Mark Katz
"Dear Maya, A very happy and healthy New Year to you. We have been meaning to write to you to tell you that the two tours my husband andI took this past summer to Egypt, Jordan and Israel were wonderful. In Egypt, we took the pre-tour to Luxor followed by the first week of "Into the Promised Land." We left that tour in Tel Aviv and two weeks later joined the "Jewish Heritage Tour." In both cases, the groups were a perfect size: 12 and 14 people respectively, all lovely and wonderful travel companions. Each trip visited wonderful sites and the itinerary for both trips was excellent. We saw everything we wanted to see and the tours made it easy, plus the hotel accomodations were very nice. AIT gave us great value for our money. Thank you for making our summer travel 2009 a wonderful experience..."
Rachelle and Barry Goldsmith
I recently returned from my WONDERFUL "Ultimate Israel" Tour and I really enjoyed it. The tour guide, Inon Hedvati, and bus driver, Yossi, were terrific. Inon was very knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. I must say we were a good group, too. I also appreciated the ticket to the play in Tel Aviv. It was nice to have a taste of Israeli culture. The play, "Havdala", was excellent and very thought provoking. I enjoyed the stay at the kibbutz. They were very gracious and explained kibbutz life and philosopy to us. There were so many highlights that it is hard to pick just one. Being at the Western Wall is, of course, very special. Thank you for planning such a nice tour".
Sincerely,
Jeanne Goldman
"Just
wanted you to know that the bat mitzvah trip to Israel was fabulous.
It couldn't have been better.
Our
flights were good, the group was very compatible, the bus comfortable,
Mordechai, our bus driver and our guide Rafi were wonderful,
hotels were terrific, and our daughter-in-law Sharon was a first
class "general." She kept us all in line and the group
moving right along. My brother-in-law Neil who had never been
to Israel was very impressed with everything he saw. He thanked
us again and again for inviting him to join us. The bat mitzvah
was lovely - couldn't have been in a better setting. The day
we spent with Rafi (our day of arrival) was the best. We saw
so much and heard so much and Rafi was great. Thanks for arranging
a very special trip for us. It was outstanding. We will remember
it always".

“Hi Noam, I hope all is well with you. We had a terrific time in Israel. The hotels were great, and Yaakov our tour guide was absolutely fabulous. He was very well informed and offered a unique perspective on Israel. The Bar Mitzvah ceremony was beautiful and I am glad we had it at Robinson's Arch instead of the Kotel. Thank you for giving us such a memorable experience”.
Sincerely,

“I
just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and all your
colleagues for the great job that they all did in arranging
a tour for my family. Your people made everything go off
on schedule and without a hitch. What a joy it is
to work with people that take their responsibilities seriously,
and execute them perfectly. Your transportation people
were exactly where they were supposed to be, at exactly the
right time. Your guides were superb. David Weintroub
is a gem, and my kids and family now consider him to be part
of our "mispocha". Your guide and associates
in Jordan did an excellent job and should be highly complemented.
Your people have made this family tour and trip to Israel and
Jordan the most memmorable they will ever have. We could
not have asked for more. If I had a question, Izzy was
right there to answer it. If we there is a better driver
than Asher, I don't know where you would find him. In
Jordan, Samir, Feizel and even the policeman that accompanied
us were just terrific.
I
know you hear about it when things go wrong, but I doubt that
you hear when things go right. Well, we all want to thank
you and all your staff for the best trip we could have possibly
imagined. It exceeded our wildest expectations”.

“It’s been 3 months since we went on the Roots of our Faith Tour, and extra tours to Eliat, St. Catherine, and Petra. I just had to tell you what a great time we had on the tours. The buses were always on time, room reservations were always done with keys available when we arrived, wakeup calls were done for us, and as requested our room were located next to one another. When we went from Eliat to St. Catharine we were personally escorted to the Egypt border formalities to our waiting van - great service. Our tour guide, Daniel Weis was just exceptional. He was such a knowledgeable tour guy. He knew such much about the bible and was also an archeologist. He was kind, considerate, knowledgeable, patient and just a nice guy. Our family, Mr. & Mrs. Robert Hoff and Mr. and Mrs. Arango would just like to thank you for such a wonderful experience. We recommend you to anyone who is going to Israel. Thanks for the memories”.

”I just want to thank you for a great tour you prepare for us, Exodus to Israel. I really enjoyed this trip that you laid out for us. The guides were great and I know they went out of their way to make sure we would learn and enjoyed their country. The hotels you chose was great and the buffets at the hotels were very good. Cairo was interesting and you know I always wanted to see Egypt. It made me want to see more, so I hope to call you again. Mt Sinai was colorful and spiritual, Petra was breathtaking, thank you for that one...Jordan was nice and educational. Then there's Israel... what can I say about that great place except it's God's country and Hawaii is close second. I don't think I have enough of Israel. Again thank you so much for planning a great tour all of us”.....Mahalo

"I wanted to let you know how wonderful our trip was. We really enjoyed both our tour guide, Freddie, and our driver Moshe. The hotels were great and the food was wonderful. Everyone was punctual (we were the ones that lagged sometimes) and informative. Thanks so very much and I will definitely share with others our great experience using America Israel Travel".
Lavonne Blanco
"We returned from our trip
to Egypt, Jordan and Israel on Sunday evening and I just wanted
to tell you what a wonderful trip we had. From all of our conversations
with you and your attentiveness to our questions to the last
plane ride home, everything was perfect. When we arrived home,
our son asked, " so, from 1-10, how would you rate the
trip?" I immediately replied, "10!" and my husband
said, "15!" I have memories that I will cherish the
rest of my life. My four top experiences were the camel ride
up Mount Sinai in the middle of the night, the boat ride on
The Sea of Galilee, Holy Communion at the Church of the Nativity,
and meeting the wonderful guides and fellow travelers on the
trip. My husband and I will recommend America Israel Travel over and over to anyone we know that wants to travel to the
Middle East. Thank you for your caring and competent service".

“The AIT Roots of Your Faith trip to Israel was simply....AMAZING. Outstanding tour guide (Hana) and driver for the bus and great hotels and meals. I was traveling "solo" on this and felt that I had 30 new friends within just a few minutes at the first meeting. The scriptures from the Bible that I have read since returning have simply come to life. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Israel! Thanks for all of your help putting this together for the group and especially for me. I also appreciate your patience with all of my many questions prior to the trip!”

"Just a short note to let you know that your outfit is the best introduction that we've had to arranged tours. We've traveled overseas on our own and never had the desire to go on arranged tours. Your outfit has changed our minds. Yasser El-Nomrosy assisted us in Egypt with a private tour guide the day after we arrived in Cairo. He was very knowledgable and well grounded in the history of his country. His tips and recommendations were valuable in our introduction to Egypt. Huessain was our Nile River tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He was very helpful in my dealings with the overwhelming and sometimes overbearing peddlers we came across every time we left the cruise ship and the tour bus. He is a very knowledgeable and personable young man.Osama was an outstanding guide.We learned a lot from him. Fadi Haddad was our guide in Jordan. He is a diplomat, very knowledgeable and quite an ambassador for Jordan. Neil was our main guide in Israel. He is very knowledgeable and well grounded in the Word. I appreciated his use of the Bible to confirm the sites we visited. He was able to make history alive. It was an awesome experience for us, awesome guide. The main reason for my wanting to go to Israel was to pray for our people at the Western Wall and to be baptized in the Jordan River - I was able to do both".
Thank you so much
Mike and Pat Aamodt
"We
got back last night from our "into the promised land"
tour of Egypt, Jordan and Israel. I just wanted to drop
you a brief note to let you know how much we enjoyed this tour.
Your organization was outstanding, the hotel choices were great, the
transfers were seamless and the tour guides were excellent.
Over the years we have traveled a lot and I would go as far
as saying that this was by far the best trip we have been on.
We felt very safe and secure. Unfortunately, all of us
have a tendency to be influenced by media reports which are
isolated and sensationalized. The reality is quite different
.I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to
others considering similar tours, and look forwarding to booking
other trips with you in the future. Once again, one of the best
trips we have been on".

"On September 21, my wife Barbara and I returned from America Israel's "Into the Promised Land" tour which departed New York on September 8. The logistics for the tour, the small size of the group, the guides and the hotels were great. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the history and scenery of lands which we had heretofore known only through studying history and reading the Bible. Both of us would highly recommend both the trip and America Israel as the travel agency. On your staff, I would like to commend Maya for her assistance throughout the planning process. I hope you will also relay our thanks to your travel company in Egypt for the services of Sharif, who met us at the airport and for our Egyptian guide, Meena; your travel company in Jordan for the services of our guide, Khalid and your travel company in Israel for the services of our guide, Ossie. All of these people gave us wonderful insights into the history and culture of their respective countries. America Israel and its tour affiliates in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel provided us with a trip and with memories we'll never forget. If we return to the Middle East one day for a more extensive tour of Jordan, we'll certainly use your services".
With thanks and best wishes,
Bill Dickinson
” we’re back from our Roots of your faith trip and we had a wonderful time. Everything went well, from the arrangements you afforded us by honoring and giving us the military discount, your professionalism and ensuring our itinerary is received all the way to the tour itself. We only have praises for Dani Weiss (our tour guide) and Joel Sasson (our Driver). Dani is such a professional, patient, knowledgeable and caring person. Joel is very respectful and truly cared for each and everyone in the tour group. Our group was small and we quickly became like family. The accommodations were awesome as well. We will highly recommend your company to our friends and families. More power to you and hopefully we will do business again together. Please kindly extend our thanks to everyone responsible in making our trip to the Holy Land a very memorable time for me and Matt”.

“It is never is too late to say thank you, we really enjoyed our Into the Promised Land Tour. It was a blessing for us. We want to let you know how beautiful was the trip and every thing about the service. Please tell all the personnel involved that we do thank you. Be sure that if we have other opportunity to travel, it will be with America Israel Travel”.

"This tour was amazing! It exceeded my expectations. This trip was a wonderful, educational experience and spiritual journey! The itinerary descriptions were accurate and were kept to the schedule. Also, all of the hotels were very nice and the meals were fabulous for both breakfast and dinner. The tour guide, Ruthie was so brilliant and compassionate about her job! You can tell that she really enjoyed being a tour guide. She made us all feel very welcome and I could have not had a better guide than ‘Momma Ruthie.’ This tour overall was one of the best trips I have ever done. The tour was well organized and all of the (reservation) staff was amazing and very informative. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go to Israel and have a wonderful time. Again, thanks AIT for such a wonderful and memorable experience.
Thanks,
Erica Handy
Dear America Israel Travel,
“We have taken the into the promised land tour from Dec 4, 2008 to Dec 21, 2008. Not only was I amazed by these spectacular places, but I was more amazed by our tour guides. Abuelabass Ahmed in Egypt and Shlomo Eyal in Israel. From the great Pyramids in Egypt, the Nile, to Mt. Sinai, Jordan, the Holy land, Bethlehem, dead sea, Masada… I have learned so much and would recommend all these to anyone I know interested in this part of the world. I also have never encountered any tour guide with as much knowledge as these 2 individuals. Abou from Egypt was very friendly, knowledgeable and was always concerned about our safety more than we were. We would have discussions which not only relates to the tour but just the region in general. I would also ask for the same guide when I plan to return which will be pretty soon. Please do give my regards to these 2 individuals who has earned not only my respect but my admiration”.
Thank you for a wonderful time you provided us. Regards,
Lawrence Quesada
"I want to express appreciation for the excellent Holy Land tour I took with America Israel Travel over the 2008-09 Holiday Season. It was first class. The guides, Abraham in Egypt and Selwyn Rose in Israel were knowledgeable, attentive and thorough. The hotels were comfortable. The food was wonderful. But most importantly - logistics was dependable and efficient. There was a contact at every location and a pick up at every airport. The drivers were careful and professional. Thank you and your company for providing a very enjoyable experience. I am spreading the word".
Dianna Coolidge
"The
trip was a wonderful experience due, in no small part, to the
planning that you did on our behalf. The sense of organization
and helpfulness was the foundation of the successful trip for
two tired and culturally overwhelmed Americans. The hotel in
Cairo and the river boat on the Nile were a welcome respite
in a hot land. But the most wonderful part was the personnel.
Ashe, our tour guide on the boat, was kind, helpful and very
knowledgeable about the culture and history of the valley of
kings and valley of queens, the tombs, the temples. In Cairo,
no words can express our appreciation for Marcus, who shepherded
us through customs and got us to the hotel when we were so tired
that we could never nave managed on our own. In addition he
got us to the airport for every flight smoothly and on time.
He even gave us his cell phone number in case we needed help
or just needed to ask questions. Thanks too, to Sama (Samma
spelling?). She took us to the pyramids, museum, lunch and old
Cairo. She was warm, charming and a fountain of knowledge which
added so much to our understanding of the history of the region
around Cairo. Indeed, everything promised by the tour came to
fruition and even more.
Sincerest
thanks for your effort to provide for us a memorable trip".

"We just returned from Israel this past weekend and I wanted to express my thanks to you and America Israel for making our recent trip to Israel a huge success. Quite honestly, it was the best trip of my life and everything worked our great. All our transfers, hotel accommodations and tour guides were 1st class and worked out great. We especially loved Moshe Chagigi and thought he was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. Moshe is an amazing individual and his knowledge and experience of the country provided us with priceless in formation made our trip very memorable. We plan on recommending America Israel Travel to our friends and to anyone who asks us about Israeli tours. Thank you very much again for helping provide this most memorable trip".
Andrew and Tara Lilien
“Just wanted to let you know our Israel trip (Ultimate Israel Tour) was FANTASTIC. We are seasoned travelers and this was one of the best trips we have ever taken. Our guide (Inon) was phenomenal. He had a great feel for Israel, was very knowledgeable, attentive to our needs and VERY FUNNY. As a Jew and a first timer to Israel this was the perfect trip. I (and myhusband) came back with even more of an emotional attachment to Israel than we had before. The bus was very comfortable and the hotels were great even though we did not stay in the most expensive ones. I would give this trip five stars! We have already referred someone who will be calling you”.

”We recently returned from the 16 day Jewish Heritage Tour to Israel. I just wanted to compliment you and your staff for putting together a wonderful tour. Our guide, Shlomo Eyal, (from the Israeli Rent-A-Guide) was excellent! He had a wealth of knowledge on history from the earliest times right up to the current day to day operations of each city that we visited. Many times he went out of his way to adjust the schedule so that we would not miss out on a current attraction. Such as the brides in Jaffa on Thursday night, soldiers practicing for a parade, getting in to see the Chagall stain glass windows before we left town. He had excellent ideas for things we could do on Friday night and during the Shabbat. Shlomo was sensitive to the needs of the group, always allowing for frequent rest stops. Being interested in the history of Israel, as well as the ancient history of the land, this was the perfect tour for us, with the perfect tour guide. Shlomo Eyal is the perfect guide for anyone of any faith”.
Thanks again to you and your staff for a truly wonderful experience.

“we're
home and just wanted to THANK YOU for taking such good care
of us on our trip to Greece and Israel. Everything went
very smoothly and they were all so kind and gracious and welcoming!
We had a fabulous time...the cruise was splendid and we loved
all the islands especially Mykonos and Santorini. Our Holy
Land tour guide, Israel Kantor, went above and beyond our
expectations! He was a dear heart and had soooo much knowledge
he graciously shared with us...we grew to love him in a
weeks time and Israel as well! Bless you and your beautiful
land! Thank you again for all of your hard work! Fondly,

"I
had a few minutes and wanted to drop you a line to thank you
for putting together such an incredible tour of the Holy Land.
Isaac did a wonderful job of leading the tour and his historical
knowledge is phenomenal, and he became a good friend as well.
The tour behind the Western Wall with Dr. Dan Bahat was a fabulous
addition to the tour too. My friend John Schmidt and I thoroughly
enjoyed every aspect of the journey, and we’re both very
grateful that we took your suggestion and joined this tour.
We will highly recommend your agency to anyone we know that
might be traveling to that area of the world".

“We just wanted to send you a short note and tell you how much we enjoyed our 'Footsteps of our Lord' tour, August 2 through 10. Everything was just what we would have wanted. The tour guide, Amos, was wonderful, very knowledgeable and professional. The hotels were quite good and we especially enjoyed the Prima Royale, in Jerusalem. The staff at this hotel was most helpful and accommodating.Thank you for putting together such a great tour and especially on such short notice. We will remember America Israel Travel when we or any of friends next plan a trip”.

end, the ancient as well as the modern, and the fantastic trip
to Petra too. I can't wait until we take our next trip to Israel,
and I look forward to working with you on it. I'll be
sure to tell people all about you. Todah
rabah and Shabbat shalom"

"We
had a wonderful trip to Israel, learned a lot and have many
wonderful memories and pictures. We also got to meet your tour
contact in Tel Aviv on the last night and she was very nice.
She made sure that our connections in Tel Aviv and those to
Eilat were completed successfully. While we were at Eilat, we
had a wonderful time both seeing the fish and coral of the Red
Sea and touring the desert. Our tour guide, Isaac, was a real
task master and was very determined to whip our group into shape,
that is, getting us all to abide by his rules. However, this
was a good thing because we all learned so much more when we
listened carefully to all he had to say. He was very knowledgable
and well prepared and was able to relate the places we were
seeing to Bible references in both the Old and New Testaments.
He was able to add things into the tour that Pastor Garry requested
and thus we got to see a lot of special places that most tours
would not have included. The time went very fast and we were
exhausted by the end of the trip. But we have a while to recover
before considering another trip. Thank you so much for
all your effort to make our tour so fantastic".

"We
had a wonderful time in Israel. The Medved summer tour was very
special. We especially appreciated the interfaith aspect of
the tour and the opportunity to interact with people of similar
political views. We were very pleased with the accommodations,
meals, and guides. Highlights of our trip were the two shabot
dinners with the Medved family, the underground tour of the
western wall by Dr. Bahat, and the kibbutz at Kfar Giladi".

"Can't
say enought how we enjoyed the trip - excellent guide - David
Walntraub, Dudi the driver, Medved and his family - people have
to go to Isreal in person to see how wounderful it is - you
set up a great trip" John ,Erika ,Bridget and MaryEllen

"The Tour was outstanding!! I left most of my heart in
Israel. I was only disappointed that my husband was not along.
He would have loved the whole tour. I thought the tour guide,
David Weintraub, was outstanding. He was so informative, thoughtful
and considerate, he spoiled us for any other tour guide. And,
of course, Michael Medved and his family were absolutely wonderful
hosts. I would go back to Israel in a minute"
Thanks
again

"Our
Behind the Scenes Tour of Israel's Security and Counter Terrorism
Operations was especially completed to execute and required
top notch customer service to 40 security and law enforcement
executives from 13 countries around the world. Organizing and
administrating the tour necessitated attention to details, coordination
with multiple service providers, and six star accommodations
and customer service. America Israel Travel provided us with
all of that and more and helped our customers
have a once-in-a-lifetime
professional and personal experience".

"Not
being a fan of large tour groups (last one I took was 30 years
ago), I was pleasantly surprised at how well the trip was organized
to experience the most for the period of time we were in Israel.
Setting aside the wonderful people on our bus, I will discuss
the tour itself. Gila was an knowledgeable excellent guide,
who was able to answer questions asked of her without hesitation.
She was extremely patient with us all, especially with those
who were responsible for late starts. I would recommend her
as a guide for any tour. It was an energetic tour and there
was much to see and do, but, as I said, I plan on returning".
Shirley Garcia
"Our tour went very well. I have high praise for our tour
guide Avi Hochner. He did a great job and we were very pleased
with his flexibility and desire to accommodate our requests.
While there will be more to explore on future trips, this was
an excellent and fulfilling tour for my son and myself even
as a stand-alone tour".
