Finally our kids were old enough to fly to Israel and were not going to go crazy with all of the historical knowledge. Still we were nervous with the political climate and having two teenagers in a volatile area. During the planning stage Brad was phenomenal. He was there to answer any questions, big or small. He allayed any fears we had. We worked together, with my budget and family considerations, to put together an amazing itinerary. He met us in Israel to give us a welcome package and all the information we would need. Then we met Mitch, our personal tour guide. This man was a phenomenal wealth of knowledge. He has such an in depth understanding of the region that there is no way to learn everything in one trip. Mitch was able to adjust on the fly with weather and moods. Overall I would recommend Dekkel Tours, Brad and Mitch for any trip to Israel. Thank you for making this actually a Trip of a Lifetime! read less

Israel, unlike most other countries, is complex encompassing incomparable history,various religions, natural beauty,cultural variations and of course geo-political stress. Not your average tourist vacation! There's so much to see and experience across a diverse landscape that I recommend a guide. We, a family of 5 adults, took two full weeks of touring with a personal guide arranged through Dekel Tours . From 3 months of planning the itinerary to the in-country and adjacent country touring(went to Jordan to see Petra and sleep in a bedouin camp overnight in the desert) Dekel and our guide Asher handled every aspect of our trip, except flights(Iberia business class, most affordable and excellent) and sleeping arrangements(airBnBs were great, more affordable and let us stay together). Two weeks of non-stop touring allowed me to walk in the footsteps of Jesus and my young family members enjoy some outstanding experiences including flying atv's, weapons firing, horse and camelback riding, etc, Food and winery tours allowed us to enjoy the taste of Israel as well. Don't let the fear of conflict stop you from taking on Israel, but if you can afford a private or group tour that will insure you don't miss all this country has to offer. read less
