The entire trip was wonderful, thanks to him!  This was an especially difficult time, because of Covid restrictions.  Israel just opened up at the time we were due to go!  He made all our arrangements, coordinating with our agent here, making sure we had all the right documents.  The same for the way home.  The trip was incredibly wonderful!  Well planned and the hotels were nice.  Our tour guide, Jacob Firsel was very knowledgeable  and extremely attentive.  His expertise as a medic came in handy when my husband needed a bit of extra care and attention at a hospital.  Jacob knew how to navigate the emergency room and got us thru in record time!   Israel is a MUST SEE for everyone!!  I highly recommend Dekel Tours to all!! read less

Tamar at Dekel helped us plan a terrific trip that met all of our needs and wants.  Leading up to the trip, Tamar had heard some feedback from other clients about the lack of customer service in one of the hotels we were scheduled to stay in.  Based on this, she worked to find us another place to stay that would meet our budget and our needs.  During the trip, Tamar was in regular communication with Sharon to make any necessary adjustments in our itinerary due to traffic or unforeseen changes.  From our point of view, all arrangements functioned like a well-oiled machine but really I know that Tamar and Sharon were the ones that were communicating with vendors to make sure all was perfect!  Our favorite activities were enjoying lunch cooked by and talking to with a Druze family in Golan Heights, hiking and enjoying the waterfalls of Ein Gedi and especially, hiking up to Masada at sunrise.  And now on to Sharon, our spectacular guide.  Sharon was with our family for over half of our trip (the rest of the time we toured on our own).  Sharon was energetic, creative, insightful, patient, honest, and so much more than we could have hoped for.  She worked to adapt her history lessons to our teenagers' interest levels, listened to our teenage son when he wanted to talk with someone about video games, brought us to "off the beaten path" sites, started conversations with a variety of Israelis that we came across so that we could meet individuals from so many different walks of life, shared her own views with us about life as an Israeli woman, and listened to our views as Jewish Americans.  By the end of our trip, our teenage children were referring to our guide as "Aunt Sharon".  Sharon will very much be a part of our most special memories of a spectacular trip to Israel.  We truly cannot recommend enough both Dekel AND especially Sharon Pelleg. read less

We had many contacts before the trip by email and phone. David replied promptly to each email and phone call before the trip and during the trip. Almost everything was just as we understood it would be and anything that was different was immediately corrected. Our hotels were all excellent as was our means of transportation, guide and driver. We would highly recommend Dekel Tours read less

Because of Covid we had to wait two years to make the trip happen, and we ended up with the most memorable experience ever. LeeAnn Langer of Dekel Tours mapped it all out for us.  Listening to our interests, and in active communication with us, LeeAnn developed a truly dream itinerary covering archaeological, religious and nature sights that we were keen to experience.  Dekel Tours assigned to us an ideal guide for our needs and interests.  With Charles Frankenburg, we could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, dedicated and thoughtful person to discover that fascinating land.  We spent 14 days in Israel between Tel Aviv, Tiberias, Jerusalem and Eilat, and 3 days in Jordan between Wadi Rum and Petra with visits to Madaba and Mount Nebo. The trip was intense, as we wanted and hoped for, and we would not have changed anything in its design. The most important feature of the trip was the flawless organization. Nothing was left to coincidence or chance; between LeeAnn and Charles, our guide and driver, there were no hiccups. Numerous driving arrangements, sightseeings, time allocations - they were all organized most efficiently.  The quality and location of hotels were superb.  As dinners were on our own, LeeAnn was also most helpful with suggestions and even reservations in various cities. .There is no question that this Israel trip of ours has topped everything we have done to date. We are most grateful to you LeeAnn, Dekel Tours and of course Charles to make it so wonderfully memorable. Halina and Kurt von dem Hagen read less

We had a very narrow window of dates when we could make this trip and LeeAnn at Dekel worked out a fabulous tour based on our timeframe. We shared with her our initial ideas of what we would like to do and she took it from there adding many activities geared to our two teens. It was a busy 10 days but not hectic or rushed. Each of our guides was extraordinary. They were experienced, knowledgeable and engaging. 

Two highlights stand out for me:

1) Our day in Jordan to tour Petra and our overnight at the Bedouin camp in the Jordanian desert were nothing short of spectacular. Highly recommended!

2) Our three days in Jerusalem were filled with ancient history and contemporary Jewish life. Our guide Abby made it both exciting and meaningful. No place like it on earth.

All four of us are so very grateful to LeeAnn, Brad and the entire Dekel team for giving us such a memorable visit to Israel to share with our grandkids. read less

My wife and I are very hard to please and they exceeded our expectations.  We do not live in Israel so  planning a tour of this nature is vey stressful and you really don’t know whether you can trust the company you are working with. Our experience was very positive and David and Tamar were attentive and extremely helpful.  Tamar went so far as to come to the bar mitzvah and lent us her hotspot because the synagogue did not have wifi and we needed to broadcast the service over zoom.  Thank you for everything.
