Making the arrangement with Asaf was easy and professionally done. They even planned to meet us at the airport on our arrival. Then, when we had to cancel our trip, we received a very prompt refund of our deposit. I highly recommend the company.

"Great experience, excellent guide"
We visited Israel during the busiest tourist season (Christmas vacation) with a multi generational family of 6 people. Our guide, Noa Nave, was amazing: flexible, fun, accommodating, knowledgeable, and per our request was able to gear the trip towards the interest of children ages 9 and 12. Her English is excellent.

MoreAsaf, Thank you and your team for the most amazing 12 days of incredible experiences! From the moment i was met at the gate in Cairo when I landed - - all the way to the end, it was spectacular. The planning and execution were flawless at every moment. I felt safe in Egypt and Jordan with the team you assembled. I learned a lot from visiting both countries and am so thankful you made that happen. My Israel visit was an 11 on a scale of 10. Shannie Paine was the best guide I have ever experienced. Shannie’s knowledge is incredible, style of communicating is excellent, and his personality is charming. No matter where we went or who we spoke with, Shannie has a unique ability to make people smile. I think people can read that he is genuine and sincere. I am hopeful that I can remember 25% of the lessons that I learned during my PHD course in Israeli history. n nIt was a true pleasure to work with you and Naama. Naama was always available and on top of every detail. Naama took the changes in schedule in stride and simply made them happen. It was excellent.
