PRIVATE ISRAEL TOURS

Dekel Tours Has My Vote... We loved our experience from start to finish. Tamar, the office manager, took our specific requests and set up a three day tour that swept us off our feet. It was perfect and amazing. Aviad was our tour guide. He was also terrific. Aviad walked us through the streets and explained thoroughly each stop....revisiting biblical stories, walking through the streets of the Old City as well as sites around the Sea of Galilee. Aviad made our journey come to life. He is well educated and what I consider to be a true historian. Our trip is one we never forget and we are grateful to each involved party at Dekel Tours which made our time in Israel successful. Thank you Tamar and Aviad. Thank you Dekel Tours. It was truly our pleasure.

Fabulous personalized tour We planned an itinerary with Dekel tours who tailored a bucket list of places with our site requests. Our guide was fantastic-well versed in history, archeology and natural wonders and very attentive to our needs. We saw and learned so much about different cultures, religions and history. It was an amazing unforgettable trip made easy by Dekel tours' handlers all along the way. Definitely recommend for a personalized tour.

Private Tour with DEKEL tours Just came back from a 13 day trip to Israel. Mark at DEKEL Tours helped us plan a 7 day private tour. He was very attentive to our wants and needs and kept in touch with us throughout the full year of planning. They did everything from book our hotels to our activities. Mark also matched us with a great tour guide Ronen. Overall we had a great vacation and looking forward to travelling to Israel in the future. I would highly recommend using DEKEL tours.

An Amazing Family Trip to Israel with Dekel Tours We were in Israel to celebrate our son's Bar Mitzvah. David, our agent, put together the perfect trip for us from start to finish. We toured for 7 days and each day was full of memorable experiences and learning. We needed a change of plans one day due to rain and David suggested a visit to a Blacksmith. It was an amazing addition to our trip. Our son was able to work with the artist to create his very own Yad which he used during his service. This was one highlight out of many. Our guide Shira was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. She felt like part of our family. We made the right choice in choosing Dekel Tours for our trip and highly recommend them.

Israel at its best compliments of Dekel Tours! Without a doubt, this will rank #2 of all time for our (my wife and I) vacation travels. Our honeymoon has to always remain #1. Dekel provided excellent service from assisting with the development of our design of what we could see in the time we were in Israel to literally the moment we got off our plane where we were met with someone who effortlessly guided us through customs, to when we said goodbye to our outstanding guide, Yehuda. Everything that we wanted to see we were able to have quality time doing it. We even had a few last minute changes we requested and they were fulfilled without any complications. Our guide was the best we have had, including professional guides in Egypt, Thailand, Greece, Italy to name just a few. I highly recommend considering Dekel for anyone traveling to Israel.

Wonderful, Attentive Tour Operator LeeAnn at Dekel worked with our extended family for a long time to schedule a (long awaited) family trip to Israel. LeeAnn and the Dekel team were incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, both prior to the trip and on WhatsApp while we were in Israel. They made everything from the airport transfers to the well selected tours/sites go smoothly. We also really appreciated the personal touch of LeeAnn meeting us at the hotel the morning of our first day of touring. We could not have had a better experience with Dekel and the guide and driver they set us up with (big props to Beny Shlevich, amazing guide).Two bonus points worth noting as an indication of the planning and customer service from Dekel:A) One morning, we were up north and came down to find out our bus had a flat tire. Somehow, the Dekel team had an alternate bus to us promptly so that we could make our first tour destination without delay while the original bus was being fixed. Magic!B) A few days after we came home, we got an unexplained charge from one of the hotels. We WhatsApp'd LeeAnn and she chased it down in-country and resolved it for us ASAP (even though this is still in Dekel's busy season and they are crazy busy).Thanks LeeAnn and Dekel for the trip of a lifetime.

A bat mitzvah gift! Dekel tours planned a perfect tour for my husband and I to show our granddaughter how much we love Israel. Every detail was attended to with perfection so we could just relax and enjoy!

Great Experience Back in the United States, we are reminiscing about our unforgettable family experience in Israel. We are grateful to you and Dekel Tours for organizing and facilitating a superior trip that met the needs and exceeded the expectations of all in our group, including youth and adults. The children and adults recorded their memories and reflections on the last day and had, among other responses, the following to say:“Between this trip and my Bar Mitzvah…I feel a great sense of pride in being Jewish.”“Thank you for this life changing experience and amazing trip.”“Thank you for letting us come to this amazing country and tour.”“ [This trip] helped me understand the complexity of the conflict and the situation Israel is in. I can now help [my friends] understand what Israel truly is.”The adults commented:“We have been here before but we [we had not done many] of the things we were able to see land do on this trip. It has been absolutely unforgettable”“This has been the trip of a lifetime. Israel is a beautiful, complex country, that I absorbed though all my senses.”“None of us will ever forget this trip. Thank for for giving all the kids, each in their own way, a closer connection to our people [and] Israel.”“It felt like home.”Some of the favorite experiences were:The ATV ride, the Jeep tour, Rosh Hanikra, Yad Vashem, Ein Gedi, talking to the tank loader in the Golan, Hezekiah’s tunnel, surfing in the Mediterranean, driving through the Judean desert, the food, especially the K’na’ani restaurant and breakfasts….Our tour guide, Sharon Pelleg, was outstanding. She reached out to youth and adults, meaningfully engaging the kids. Sharon went beyond the norm in seeking to meet the needs and respond to the interests of all. The guide at Yad Vashem (Lara….) was a wonderful educator who held the kids attention for over two hours. Our driver, Sergei, kept us safe and on time. The VIP access for the airport to the hotel and back was excellent. All contacts and connections made for a smooth and enjoyable experience. We have already given your name to a few people interested in traveling to Israel.

Highly recommend Planned large trip of first timers. Excellent service, planning and patience. Lots of back and forth/ changes to itinerary. Mark walked us through our own maze of constraints and planned a fantastic trip with the best guide and itinerary. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend Dekel Tours and Yonatan/Jonathan as a tour guide! There were several favorite experiences during our week touring Israel with Yonatan/Jonathan as our tour guide! His explanations and stories were wonderful and his use of visual aids enhanced the history stories.
