Dekel tours was excellent in its responses beginning with itinerary, suggestions, and were flexible to accommodate changes even at the last minute. I worked with Brad Lennox, who was excellent in communicating. Also came along Kelsey Keil-Fuchs, who was very prompt in answering all our questions.

From the time we landed, we were greeted on the aerobridge by a representative, who took us through a private van inside the airport, through immigration and then to the Car that was waiting. Within an hour of landing we were at our hotel. All hotels we stayed in were very comfortable (except for one in Jerusalem, the name which I will refrain from mentioning).

Kelsey met with us in Jerusalem and made us feel comfortable about the plans for the trip. It is here that we met Daniel Segalov, a wonderful funny, knowledgeable guide, who took us through 300 years of history lessons the next six days. We visited more sites than was in the itinerary, and this was a big bonus. I would highly recommend Dekel tours. Everything was so well planned, that we did not have to worry.

I would recommend, a day of rest in between, that would give a bit of breathing room to take it all in. Ours was a 10-day trip, and we were exhausted by the time we left Tel-aviv.
Pack some comfortable shoes, as there is a lot of walking around that you have to do every day.

On the final day, Kelly called to check on us, and that was indeed sweet.

In all, Dekel tours in our minds is one of the best tour companies we had dealt with. Without any reservation, I highly commend and recommend them. read less

From the VIP service in the airport that whisked us right by the long lines to enter the country to the packed and perfectly executed itinerary, we had an amazing time and saw much more than we ever would have been able to had we planned the trip on our own. Michael Oestermann was a FANTASTIC tour guide for our trip. We wanted to focus on seeing the Catholic sites in Israel, and Michael was the perfect guide with an incredible knowledge about the Bible, both New and Old Testaments. LeeAnn from Dekel planned the perfect trip for us, including finding us a Catholic Mass that fit smoothly into our schedule. I had a question for her during our trip and emailed her on the Sabbath. I immediately received a return email indicating that she observes the Sabbath and would not return my email until the following day. Her email directed me to Brad, the owner of the company. I wrote to him at 10 p.m. and within 15 minutes, we had an email conversation that addressed our needs. Their responsiveness was very impressive. I could go on and on, but to summarize I can't recommend Dekel tours more highly. They organized the best family vacation we have ever taken. read less
