My wife and I took a private 10 day tour of Israel arranged through Shalom Israel Tours. In one word, fantastic. All of the logistics were great (the welcome and zipping through the airport was particularly impressive). Our guide, Daniel Guttman, was unbelievably good. Not only extremely knowledgeable about the history of the areas (archeological, historical, biblical, political) we visited but was just a good guy and a pleasure to deal with.

From the original e-mail query to Shalom Tours, Shalom and Yoel answered all our questions and helped us plan the ideal tour. And we were not easy but they took our requests in stride and made many of their own which resulted in a great itinerary. They even reassured us during the Gaza strife over the summer that we would be OK. It was also good to know that Daniel checked before we went to any site where there could potentially be a problem (e.g., Temple Mount, Golan Heights) to make sure it would be safe.

Bottom line, if you are going to Israel and want to plan the trip of a lifetime, you can’t go wrong with Shalom Israel Tours. Just an A++
