Great tour, poor customer service As above post April 2017, I too was on the Israel tour with Jodi and as described, Our private tour was excellent, our guide was great. However, we take offense that Mr Stark would accuse us of blackmail and threaten to sue us. We missed two flights and do not arrive on the original planned flight. Mr Stark was notified withn 30 minutes of original arrival time that we were not on this flight. As contratcually bound, as part of our tour package, we were not picked up from the airport as promised. After arriving home, we asked for reimbursement for airport transfer. Mr Stark was unaccommadating and not willing to give us what was paid, nor was he willing to reimburse taxi fare. I did tell him that I would rate him negatively on Trip advisor. Speaking the truth of our experience, is in no way blackmail. We did not demand, we asked numerous times for what was just and fair. It is my right, as a consumer, to rate according to how we were treated. Oddly, he is willing to pay attorney fees to sue, yet not willing to reimburse $150 as originally agreed as part of our tour, nor a $50 paid taxi fare. Edit

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.

Incredible Experience My family and I visited Israel on the 12 day Jewish Heritage Tour. We had an amazing time at each location we visited. Our tour guide, Mali, made the trip even more special because of her love and knowledge of Israel. The planning was so easy because of Shalom's quick responses and his overall customer service. We will definitely return to visit more of Israel with another Shalom Israel tour. We highly recommend Shalom Israel Tours and Mali, our tour guide.

I have just had a series of emails from… I have just had a series of emails from this company. I expressed my opposition as an american to traveling in Israel. The representative has now called me mentally ill and gone on to use filthy epithets in response to my comments. I want to underline that I never contacted this company but they have gone on to write these vile attacks on me. I would think twice about dealing with such people.

Had a fantastic tour of Israel Our family had a fantastic tour of Israel. Our guide Doron was very knowledgeable and the bus driver Atif got us all around the country safely and comfortably. I would recommend this tour to all - really get a great sense of the country and its people.
