Yonatan was an excellent guide and made the tour of Jerusalem so interesting and informative. He tailored the tour to cover the sites we outlined but made suggestions along the way that made the tour even more interesting. We were able to visit areas that even the locals may be not aware of. The pace of the tour was perfect and his knowledge of the history, culture and religious beliefs was superb. Overall, we could not fault Yonatan as a guide and as a thoroughly decent individual. read less

Incredible Bar Mitzvah Trip and Tour of Israel From the moment we arrived in Israel and were literally met off the plane, to our return to the UK,... read moreFrom the moment we arrived in Israel and were literally met off the plane, to our return to the UK, we were looked after by Brad and the team. Every activity and request was brilliantly delivered and covered. The trip was for our son's Bar Mitzvah at Robinson's Arch in Jerusalem - the egalitarian part of the Kotel. It's clear that Brad has a wonderful network of talented, skilled and very knowledgeable people who helped to make our trip special. Prior to the trip, Brad introduced us to the fantastic Cantor Evan Kent, who mentored our son for his Bar Mitzvah, via Skype calls and led the service wonderfully on the day itself. Leane, from the Dekel Tours team helped to set up the hotspot live FaceTime link up so that my mum (who is too ill to travel) could be part of the Bar Mitzvah as it happened. Leane has also been involved in coordinating many of the details for our trip and did a fantastic job. Brad organised for us to have the wonderful Yehuda Kaplan as our guide. I have travelled the world and have never met a guide who knows the answer to any question you may ask (and our family had many!!) - from historical details of sites, to questions about geology and the complex geography and political situation in Israel, Yehuda always had fascinating insights and facts at his finger tips and a lovely, friendly disposition. I would highly recommend Dekel Tours -- they made our family Bar Mitzvah trip one we will never forget. Thank you! Shalom and toda raba. read less

great 2 weeks in Israel organized by Dekel Tours My wife and I (in our early 60’s) just returned from a two week visit in Israel – our first... read moreMy wife and I (in our early 60’s) just returned from a two week visit in Israel – our first time. We had a great time in no small part due to the great assistance in planning we received from Dekel Tours. Friends recommended them to us and we are really glad we utilized their services. Brad Lennox spent several months understanding what our goals were and working with us to put together an itinerary and hotel reservations. David Gross worked out all the details, met us our first day in Israel and kept in touch during our two weeks, assisting with changes and questions as we went along.

Dekel arranged for our guide (and driver), Yonatan Harpaz, whom we spent 9 days with. He was a fantastic guide – extremely engaging, knowledgeable and informative. Our initial concern of spending 9 days (usually 8 or 9 am until 5 or 6 pm) with a “stranger” was alleviated in the first hours – we felt like family at the end of the 9 days – it was sad to say goodbye. For our last 3 days in Tel Aviv (without him) he remained very willing to respond to texts with recommendations for things to do and places to eat.

Everything worked out great including a well-orchestrated one day trip to Petra. We highly recommend Dekel for your Israeli trip. We highly recommend Dekel Tours. read less
