“I’m back in home now from one of the BEST trips I have ever had! So please allow me to give you brief feedback. I really mean it when I say this was one of the best, if not the best holiday I have ever had. The arrangements were excellent, the people on the trip were great, the hotels were great, the tour guide was excellent and the bus driver was the best I have ever travelled with. So there you have it in a nutshell.” Annette Heyns

“My two teenage sons and I have experienced the ‘Discover Israel Tour’ and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Our tour guide Rosa was excellent and we all learnt so much it made it a fantastic holiday. Now having seen Israel I would definitely go back and use your company again. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.” Mrs S Kerley.

“Dear Superstar
Thanks for a wonderful time in Israel. I am really glad my wife talked me into the trip. The Discover Israel Tour was the best thing we have done in years. It was my Sunday School and history lessons all rolled into one.” Yours sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Charles. Reading.

“Dear Superstar
Just a short note to thank you for a great holiday in Israel. It was our first visit and the Discover Israel Tour was the perfect introduction. We especially liked the stay in the kibbutz guest house. They gave us a short tour and gave us the history and how it works in today’s modern society. Fascinating. Your tour guide was a walking encyclopedia and even though it seemed at time we were getting information overload she was really interesting. She even taught us few word in Hebrew, so I would like to say toda.” Best wishes, Alex and Patricia Merton, Hertfordshire.
