GUEST REVIEWS

An Amazing Trip We've been home for a week since our amazing trip to Israel to celebrate our granddaughter's bat mitzvah. Despite our initial safety concerns, we made the decision to join our family. We always felt safe and well cared for with our wonderful guide Amir and our driver Hezi. From the time we were met at the gate in Tel Aviv to the time we left, Amir filled our heads and hearts with the astounding history, the uniqueness of Israel's people, and perspective on the current situation. We cannot recommend the tour group more enthusiastically and look forward to celebrating our grandson's bar mitzvah with Dekel in a few years.

Great experience, great service Our group of 3 couples had a great tour of Israel and Jordan arranged by Mark Coleman and the team at Dekel Tours. For most of us, this was our first trip to Israel. We had several planning meetings and emails so our experience could be tailored to our desires. Mark was available to help us throughout our trip to answer logistical questions and work with us on some minor changes in our travel schedule, to help make sure we were where we needed to be to make connections. I would highly recommend Mark and the team at Dekel Tours!

Wonderful 2 weeks in Israel We are wrapping a wonderful two week visit to Israel with a 1 day side trip to Petra Jordan. I have always wanted to go and my husband suggested it as a way for us to celebrate our 30th anniversary. From the very beginning of our contact, LeeAnn listened carefully to what was important to us for this trip and planned a perfect itinerary. From our arrival in Israel, throughout our trip everything went seamlessly. and she stayed in touch throughout our journey. Our tour guide, Yonatan was terrific. We have traveled to many places and have had guides in several of them and we count him as the best of the best. His personal knowledge of the country combined with his shared insights from his own travels really added a dimension to how we experienced each site. He was thoughtful, interesting, funny and considerate. I highly recommend Dekel for travel in Israel and also Yonatan as a guide. I am already thinking about when we can return.

Best vacation ever! We just returned from 2 weeks in Israel. We went for my son's bar mitzvah and did a top to bottom visit of all the major historical and religious sites and locations in Israel, along with a ton of fun adventure stuff that would make any teenager excited. Everything went so smoothly. David made sure we had no problems along the way, finding us a tour guide, booking everything, arranging a photographer, even getting us through security in the airport. Everyone was professional, the hotels and food and experiences were all first rate. Worth every penny. We felt like royalty! We can't express enough how awesome this company is! It was the best vacation ever!

Made a trip of a lifetime come true for our church group. LeeAnn made all the arrangements for my group of 28 for 9 nights in Israel and 3 nights in Jordan. Everything she said she would do was provided: Coach, transfers, hotels, guides and more. The gift bags were filled helpful items including good water bottles, electrical adaptors. Our accommodations were great, everything went smoothly and the online payment portal was so easy to us. I recommend working with Dekel Tours.

The Trip of a Lifetime – Perfectly Planned by Dekel Tours! We just returned from an unforgettable family trip to Israel, thanks to the incredible team at Dekel Tours—especially our travel planner, David Gross. From the very beginning, David was thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly patient (we made at least 10 revisions to our itinerary, and he encouraged each one!). He truly listened to what we wanted and delivered a trip that exceeded all expectations.Every detail David promised came through seamlessly—from airport transfers to hotel accommodations to special touches throughout. He was always just a phone call away, no matter the hour, to answer even the smallest question.We were a multigenerational group of seven—Mom, Dad, four kids ages 11 to 18, and Bubby in her 70s—and David picked the perfect guide for us. Shuki Cohen was an absolute gem: knowledgeable, warm, funny, and able to engage every member of our family. Our kids connected with him instantly, and even Bubby felt completely taken care of.Dekel Tours gave us more than just a vacation—they gave us an experience full of memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re thinking about going to Israel, stop thinking and call Dekel. You’ll be in the best hands.

Outstanding Tour Company Dekel was outstanding in every aspect, from the escort not after baggage claim but right after I exited the plane, to the immediate drive to the hotel, to the informative & enthusiastic guide (Avi) who accompanied us everywhere, to the proficient driver (Hezi), in short, first class personnel, itinerary, accommodations & meals. Easy to recommend if one's looking for crème de la crème treatment. Don't miss Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Ceasarea, Ayalon Institute, Yvel Design Center, Jerusalem & the Dead Sea. Anita for ice cream. Alexander Bakery for sweets. David Kempinski for hotel in Tel Aviv.

Trip of a lifetime - Thank You Dekel We had a fantastic experience with Dekel on our Israeli vacation. From the moment we got off the plane we were treated like VIP's. Our primary contact, Mark Coleman from Dekel, worked closely with us to ensure that our itinerary matched what we were hoping to do and showed off the best of both Israel and Jordan in the time that we had. What we appreciated was that, the trip was planned in such a way that we got to do so much, experience new places and still didn't feel frantic or over-scheduled. Given this was our first family trip to the mid-east we were uncertain as to process and documentation for crossing the border between Israel and Jordan, but Dekel took care of every and made it seamless for us. We also has amazing tour guides who were a great blend of informative, entertaining, flexible and engaging. We learned so much and left feeling like we had made a new friend. This truly was a trip of a lifetime and we are grateful for the thoughtfulness and diligence to make that possible. Thank you Dekel and Mark!
