The Best Imaginable Experience
Suffice it to say that the tour was comprehensive and extremely well planned to pack an immense amount of high quality experiences and accommodations (and food) into a very reasonable cost and time frame. The many pieces were seamless even when I mis-scheduled a personal event and Shalom got it straightened out. Our guides, Levi in Tel Aviv and Meni in Jerusalem, the North, the Negev and Eilat blended our groups of 7 and 13 into a traveling family with humor, great organization, and flexibility where needed. Their encyclopedic knowledge of Biblical, Archaeological,classical, and modern history combined with their own life experience built the 4000 year history of Israel in an always engaging and compelling way that was able to put the centuries long birth of modern Israel, the miracle of the agricultural accomplishments, and the most incredible spirit of the Israeli people in context. Shalom Journeys provided the structure to put together all the diverse pieces but their top flight driver/guides made it an experience that I will definitely do again with next generations. I could write two more pages.
