Our first visit to Israel, March 7-21, was inspiring, eye-opening and surprisingly emotional. Shalom Stark, through Shalom Israel Tours, provided an excellent itinerary, impeccable lodging and an extraordinary tour guide for our 2 week Jewish Heritage tour. Needless to say, we were more than satisfied. We were lucky enough to travel on a small bus […]
The man is absolutely amazing as to his knowledge of the various locations and the biblical history associated with each site. Each location was punctuated with knowledge, insight and humor. As a travel agent i have traveled with many groups and find this one being exceptional. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to […]
We had an amazing trip to Israel thanks to Shalom Tours and our wonderful guide, Shimon who made the experience so special for us! We couldn’t have been happier and would highly recommend Shalom Tours and Shimon to anyone traveling to Israel!!!
I went on this tour with my husband and in-laws in November. It was an 8 day comprehensive tour covering most of the highlights in Israel. We had an absolutely amazing tour guide, Ze’ev! He was so knowledgeable about history, geology, religion, culture, architecture and was very enthusiastic about sharing and conveying his knowledge. We […]
My wife and just returned from the Jewish Heritage Tour 15 day tour with Petra. (Nov 1 -15th). I booked Shalom Tours because of they were very attentive to my many questions and I felt a comfort level with Shalom Stark. My wife and I have travelled a lot but this was our very first […]
Terrific tour–the guide, Mali, could not have been better–knowledgable, enthusiastic, and a great people person. Shalom Stark went out of his way to help. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Jewish Heritage tour.
My wife and I just returned from Shalom Israel’s 15 day Jewish Heritage tour. From arrival in Israel until the ending of our tour, everything promised in the tour description was delivered and so much more. Shalom Stark handled all of the logistics of airport arrivals/departures, hotel reservations, tour bus driver and guide perfectly. We’ve […]
We just returned from the 12 day Jewish Heritage tour and it was a wonderful experience. We saw so many things in a short period of time – and really had the chance to experience the highlights of the country. Our tour guide, Mali Harel, was a font of information and truly enjoyed sharing her […]
We just got back from our fabulous private 13 day classic Israel tour arranged by Shalom Tours. For most of us on the tour, it was our first trip to Israel and Petra. From the time we were met at the airport through out the entire tour, we had a great experience. Our guide, Eli, […]
Our 6 day private tour was incredible! From the start, Shalom helped us create a tour that was perfect for our small group. This was our first trip to Israel for my son’s bar mitzvah and I wanted to make sure that we saw all the must see sights including activities that would be fun […]
Shalom Tours is a first class operation. From the arrival in Israel to the tour and the departure from Israel they were on time everyday. Our tour guide Daniel Gutman was extremely knowledgeable, funny, responsible and was aware of our dad’s limitations (age 92) in recommending what he can and shouldn’t do in the tour. […]
We used Shalom Israel to book a private tour for four of us. Shalom helped us plan a fabulous itinerary, which we adjusted before and during our trip. From the moment we stepped off the plane, Shalom’s staff gave us VIP treatment. Someone met us at the gate and ushered us to the terminal and […]
We just completed a phenomenal two-week tour designed by Shalom Stark (Shalom Israel Tours) and guided by Eli Dabi. Last year I sent several agencies a list of sites/activities in Israel and asked them to create an itinerary for my three-generational family. Shalom responded within a few days and was the ONLY agent who seemed […]
We just returned from our first trip to Israel, and are so glad we chose Shalom Israel. We saw so many sights – not all the usual stops, either. Our guide, Aaron, was extremely knowledgeable and shared his personal stories and perspectives, which made the trip even more memorable. He was truly a treasure. There […]
I am not even sure where to begin to describe how incredible Shalom and his team are . From the moment Shalom was contacted, he responded immediately, worked with us to make this a personal trip instead of a tour. This was a special trip for my family as it was the firs trip to […]
We came as a family from Westchester, NY – 6 adults and 5 children – and stayed about 10 days. Shalom gave us an EXCELLENT tour program with a mini bus, driver and tour guide!!! Not a moment was wasted and every detail was taken care of expertly. We had a FABULOUS Bat Mitzvah experience […]
Not sure where to begin….fantastic guide, Yaki made our trip of a lifetime great. Yaki is smart, funny, warm, street wise, an historian and a mensch. We traveled with 2 teenage boys who had a blast too! Favorite activities for all in our group were the keep tour, the Jerusalem walking day and Masada/Dead Sea. […]
Before selecting Shalom Tours, I looked at the offerings of many other tour companies. They omitted key sites of interest, or offered heavily faith-oriented programs. My husband and I wanted an itinerary with not only customary destinations like Jerusalem, the Galilee, Bethlehem, Jericho and the Dead Sea but also less frequently visited places like the […]
This was my first trip to Israel, and I’m so very glad I chose Shalom Israel Tours for this Jewish Heritage Tour. From the very first email I sent, Shalom Stark was prompt and informative in his replies. With every subsequent question I had (and I had many), Shalom was kind and patient. The smiling […]
We returned from our Israel trip that Shalom Israel Tours organized for us. Shalom did an excellent job listening to the needs of our group and put together a tour that we will remember for a lifetime. From the moment we were greeted at the airport we experienced a professional well organized knowledgeable guided tour […]
