Authentic Israel

Hats off to Gadi for his excellent stewardship and knowledge during our recent tour of Israel. I've recommended Authentic Israel to many friends.

Great tour Excellent Guide. Saw as may interesting sites as possible. Very good hotels, Great individuals in our group.

This was the tour of a lifetime and if you haven't been to Israel, I would highly recommend you take this tour! Originally, we chose the 8 day tour but enjoyed it so much, we extended it. We were so glad we did!! You get to visit every part of Israel you should see, from Jerusalem to Masada, from the Sea of Galilee to Tsfat, from Haifa to Tel Aviv and much, much more! We happened to be a small group of 14, so our experience was intimate. Our tour guide Gadi was the best you can get. Not only did he have an encyclopedic knowledge of the history and culture of Israel; he was knowledgeable about Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and could weave together important connections among all three. Gadi also made the tour "up close and personal " through his connections with fascinating people we met like a kabbalistic artist who invited us to his studio, and a Druze Great-grandmother who made us lunch. Gadi was also warm and welcoming with a great sense of humor. Kudos to our bus driver Salah, as well! As far as accommodations, our "classic" package hotels were very comfortable, and the food on this tour is fabulous! This is an experience not to be missed!!! Don't think twice; book this tour and go to Israel now! After all, it's "your turn"!

Thank You Authentic Israel for arranging a trip that exceeded our expectations. This was a trip of a lifetime and one that my husband and I will treasure. The tour created loving and lasting memories of our beautiful and amazing homeland. Our tour guide Gadi Ben-Dov was amazing There are no words to describe his passion and love for his country. We lucked out having a total of 15 people in our tour group. We arrived as strangers and left as friends. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for an itinerary that left us exhausted in the best way possible. We always envied our children when we heard about their Birthright trip, but no more. Our itinerary was an adult version of a Birthright Tour with deluxe accommodations! It was so much fun to compare it with them when we returned. Your staff was always available to answer our questions and assist us if needed. Todah Rabah.

We had a wonderful experience on this trip. Our tour guide Gadi was phenomenal. He was extremely knowledgeable, warm, and personable. His sense of humor enhanced each experience as well. The Itinerary was well balanced and organized affording a glimpse of the highlights of Israel in a limited time frame. We would welcome the opportunity to tour again with Gadi. We thank him very much for making the trip amzing!!!
