Great tour - warmly recommended Our 12 day Jewish Heritage tour with this company was a smashing success and we enjoyed every minute. Logistics were excellent and our guide Meir was the best ever. Professional, knowledgeable and a warm personality who should have most of the credit. We know that the entire group shared these opinions and warmly recommend this tour. Lotta & Stefan

Tour of a life time! If your going to Israel I would encourage every one to set up their tour Shalom Israel now. Booking the tour was so easy and our tour guide Eli was the best. But like Eli said, "we must thank all those men and women who gave their lives for us to be able to visit Israel in the first place". I thank them every day because my life has changed entirely. I also want to thank Eli for taking us off the beaten path at times to take us to his favorite little places to shop and eat. His sense of humor and his smile will brighten your day!

Yes and a slight no My daughter and I went on Shalom Tours My daughter and I went on Shalom Tours. The itinerary was excellent, and Shalom was very helpful in our communications before the tour. The guide had a great personality, but unfortunately, was inconsistent with issues of lateness in returning to the bus. One time, someone was late and he expressed his concern that the man was lost and went out searching for him. Another time, people got lost and were 15 minutes late getting back to bus and he yelled at them when they returned. Perhaps he is moody. Anyway, if he would have given out his cell number, as tour guides generally do, people who are lost can call him - but he never gave his number. We returned to the airport to fly home with the bus pickup Shalom arranged. Unfortunately, it was not enough time as there were long lines and we were not told that the VAT line before security does not deal with jewelry. After waiting there, we had to go through security (long line) then go to the VAT line inside for the jewelry purchases. Just made our flight. We should have been informed of this and offered an earlier pickup. I did write to him about that from home but never got a response. It was still a wonderful experience on the whole but I think the moodiness of the tour guide and the stressful airport return made a difference.

I did a 15 day tour with Shalom Israel … I did a 15 day tour with Shalom Israel in May. The experience was at least 50% better than I expected. Everything from pick up at the airport to dropping back at the airport was very well organised. Our guide, Aaron, was extremely knowledgeable and obviously very passionate about his country. All bar one of the hotels were excellent. As a very nice touch a box of biscuits were waiting for me at the hotel on Erev Shabbat. I would highly recommend this company and I hope I am able to return to Israel and use their services again.

First and foremost i am not one to give … First and foremost i am not one to give a negative review. However, we missed 2 flights out of Frankfurt--we notified Mr. Stark as soon as we were able and were aware of our connection plans. He told us they could not accommodate due to shabbat. That is understandable but our group that we were traveling with arrived on time and received a guide at the tarmac-ac, whisked them thru customs and led the to a chauffeur to their hotel. we traveled 48 hrs and proceeded to stand in a customs line and extremely long taxi que. When asking Mr. stark for a refund for the transportation service he did not provide or at least a reimbursement for our taxi he was unaccommodating. He was outraged that we would even suggest. Tour was great; Mordecai our guide was excellent!!!!!! He was warm, humorous and shared his passion for the country. Mr stark was difficult and unpleasant to work with
