Hi team, we are enjoying our last day in Israel. We just left Eric, our tour guide and Danny our driver. Eric was an amazing guide. He adjusted the schedule real-time based upon our interests. Besides his deep knowledge of Israel, Eric is an amazing person, very easy to spend time with over 11 days with him. In fact, next time we book a trip to Israel we would need to book it around Eric’s schedule as we couldn’t really see trying anyone new.

Israel my Way did a great job of coordinating everything, including some very special treats. The Bar Mitzvah was extremely well done. I’m glad they talked us out of Masada or the Western Wall for the synagogue in the Golan. An amazing place, that was closed to the public while we were there.

And of course, thanks you for navigating the trip, all the changes, etc.  It wall worked out great. The Kempinski Tel Aviv is next-level in terms of Israeli hotels, ranks on par with top hotels around the world, there really isn’t any comparison to other hotels in Israel. Also, thank you for the lounge access - its the best one I’ve ever been to.

Again, thanks for everything!

This trip will have a lasting imprint on all our hearts and minds. Thank you to the great team at Israel My Way who organized and executed a carefully thought out mission. You all represent the best of what Israel  has to offer.

Shabbat shalom!

Hi Yoav,

Thank you SO very much. It was such a pleasure working with you for the first time and certainty will not be the last. I really enjoyed the updates throughout the trip. I just heard from Richard and wanted to share his feedback as well. 

"What an amazing trip. Truly, one for a lifetime. However, we’re going to need to book another one in a decade when Oliver (our son) is old enough to appreciate what we just experienced.

The guide we spent the lion-share of the trip with, Ariel, was incredible. He really elevated our experience and we even had the opportunity to treat him and his wife for an excellent dinner on our last night together.

It’s going to take me a few days to get my photos from my camera into a format that’s sharable.

Thank you again, for everything."

Thank you again!!!

Dear Danny

I just wanted to thank you again for making our trip to Israel so special. You were a delight to be with each and every day. Your breadth of knowledge of the history, culture, politics, religion and food of Israel was remarkable. Your descriptions, explanations and stories helped clarify, enlighten and amuse us! You made each day memorable and meaningful. Your expertise in guiding is exceptional. And your love for Israel is palpable.

Though we had a full itinerary every day, you kept us on schedule from morning until evening.  You guided us from one location (or activity) to another without a hitch. We never felt rushed and we always felt as that we accomplished much each day. I also have to thank you for accommodating us with the “slightly later” morning starts and for always being on time.

I cannot thank you enough for your kindness to us. We will treasure these memories for years to come.

I wish you and your family a happy, healthy New Year.

Warmly,

Susan 

"Dear Yoav,

I wanted to thank you for planning a most memorable experience. We all agree that it was a trip will remember for many years to come. The itinerary was perfect! It combined a great mix of history, adventure and modern Israel. Each day was well thought out and at the end of each day we would look at each other and just say WOW! You took the challenge of planning a trip that had three generations, first time and multiple time visitors and it was flawless. And I haven’t even started talking about our guide! My whole family absolutely loves him and now considers him a personal friend. And of course we had the treat of having dinner with Yoav on out last night in Jerusalem. Yoav, I apologize in advance, my family insists on having you for a Shabbat dinner the next time you are in NY and you have met me in-laws, they will not take no for an answer!"

Omgosh.   We just returned last week.  I can’t even express in words what an incredible time my husband and I had on our trip to Israel.  It was simply the trip of a lifetime.  Working and planning our trip… was a wonderful experience.  The planning that went into making our trip so organized and professional was fabulous.  We were beyond excited and looking forward to our September departure.  But it was absolutely nothing compared to actually being there and in the hands of our guide. From the moment we were whisked off the plane and through customs, our heads were spinning.  Knowing what our schedule would be like was nothing like experiencing it on a day to day basis.  Honestly, the activities and destinations that we visited were so exceptional.   When I told an Israeli friend about the things we did, for instance, traveling up to the Lebanese border and hanging out with the soldiers, his response was, he had never heard of anyone being able to that… It was just brilliant.
