Israel Tourism Consultants

Thank you Charles and your staff for making our trip memorable. The arrangements were exceptional throughout our tour. We were very happy with our hotel stays, land tours, transportation and professional tour guides who were knowledgeable in all aspects including culture, history and religion. Everyone in our group of 27 have returned home very pleased with your services and we will confidently recommend your company to family, friends and fellow Church members.

Hope you're doing well - we had a great time in Israel.  Everything went well thanks to you.  I appreciate your taking the time to check on our flight while we were in Egypt.  We had a heck of a time getting thru to the numbers we had.  Thank heaves you were informed and checked for us. Our guide was so knowledgeable - and knew where to take us and how to set up the trip.  The number of vacationers was just right - 12.  Our guide was also our driver - Aharon.  The food was wonderful, the accommodations were very nice and clean.  Thanks for your recommendations and for pointing us in the right direction, an unforgettable trip!

I wanted to thank you, the company in Egypt and the company in Israel for an excellent trip! The treatment we received in Egypt was exceptional and their help and constant attention made the trip a pleasure vacation without hassle and worries. Ditto for Israel. Last, but not least, thank you and Alex for your time and patience! Below you will find a picture at the top of Mt. Sinai. It was a wonderful experience. Hope to be in touch for the next vacation. All the best.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Israel!  And we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Tzach. He was very knowlegable—made history come alive for us.  And he was so good to our little 86 year old mother—she fell in love with him. It was also very special to be in a small group—only 12 of us. Thanks for an incredible journey through your country!

We wanted to thank you for planning an absolutely amazing once in a life-time trip for us.  All the connections went off with out a hitch and the tour guides were first rate.  Of course we just loved Israel and our tour guide Inon was knowledgeable and by the end of the week very sweet.  We hated to say goodbye to him and to Israel.  (He did not go with us to Eilat; at that point only 2 other couples from the tour besides the Marcus's and us went on.)  There was nothing about Israel that disappointed us and of course the high point was the Wall (and meeting Bill Clinton at the King David Hotel --that is a story in and of itself). The transfer at Taba went smoothly but did not feel as relaxed or at ease as in Israel.  Wonder why?  The scenery, as you had said, was spectacular and our accommodations at the Morganland were far better than we had expected.  Trip to Cairo on Wed. went well and Cairo was definitely entering culture shock.  Aside from the pyramids (which were of course beyond belief) we ready to come home.  Definitely glad we decided to upgrade to the Ramses Hilton,  very comfortable and the food was good.  The tour service in Egypt was very professional and we felt safe while in their care.  Would not recommend venturing forth as an American (and Jewish) unescorted. One thing, however, caught us by surprise:  paying 94 shekels per person to exit Israel at Eilat and then another $15 per person for Egyptian road tax to go to Cairo( not including visa fee).  Maybe pass that info on to other travelers. Have a great Thanksgiving and Shabbat Shalom.  We will certainly remember you and your company for any future tours.  Next time we go to Israel, how ever, we think we now will be able to go on our own.  Would like to do in the future, Jewish Heritage of Spain. All for now and again todah rabah.

Dear Mr. Dabby,
A quick note to let you know that just as you promised, my husband Charles and I had a wonderful vacation in Israel.  Our group was small (11) and congenial, our driver was knowledgeable and extremely pleasant and the people we met there couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We took the Classical Israel tour and it provided a very good overview. Thank you so much for helping us create a marvelous memory!  When we plan a return trip with our son, we'll contact you again.

Sincerely

This is to thank you and your Company for the great experience my wife and I had with your tour. We will be happy to highly recommend your company to our friends.

We returned on Monday, January 4, 2010 from our weeks tour to Israel.  My family and I have completed many tours throughout the world and we found this tour to be most interesting and best we have taken.  We are so very pleased with the tour and will recommend this tour and your company to our friends.  Our tour guide, Selwyn Rose was outstanding, truly the best we have ever had and gave the history of Israel from all perspectives.   A very intelligent man and a great historian.  I can recommend him highly and our entire group was impressed with him as well as the tour schedule, meals and hotels.  Thanks so much for your excellent service.

Shalom!!!! Charles, thank you, thank you, thank you. The Israel trip was awesome and very professional, friendly staff. It was beyond my expectations. Everyone was there from start to finish, looking out for you and caring for you. This was the best tour I have ever took with such attention to details. I can not thank you enough. I know lots that want to go to Israel and I am recommending you. Fantastic!!!!!

I just came back from my trip to Israel and I want to thank you and your company for making this amazing trip happen. Everything exceeded my expectations , and I am forever grateful. Thank you again for the vacation of a lifetime, Brian Wunderman.

On 18th Oct to 31Oct 2010 we about 25 people in a group mostly from California, Arizona, and East Coast USA toured Egypt,Jordan and Israel. Wife and I flew from San Francisco, California and joined the group and became like a family. The name of tour was WHERE IT ALL BEGAN foot steps of Mosses and Jesus. We all enjoyed our trip and got more than our moneys worth. Very well planed and made our life smooth with no problems. Crossing the boarders and immigration dept people were very nice and helpful. All the Hotels were well chosen by the booking agent the rooms were large and the dinning rooms huge with all you can eat and drink. Breakfast and dinner sitting were all buffet type. Plenty of fish, meat, cheese, bread all shape and different grains. Desert so many varities its hard to choose. We never went on our trip or to bed empty stomach.Tour guide was a professor very fluent in English language plus the bus driver noted as best in the country. Names were Ronnie and drivers name was Elliyan. As a WORLD TRAVELLER wife and I wont hessitate to recommend the Israel Tourism Consultants. thank you to help us to see THE CHRISTIAN HOLY LANDS and now we understand the OLD AND NEW TESTMENTS much better. Thank you LORD JESUS to take us and bring us safely home. John and Eunice retired US Military and a former business man.

Thank you for setting up a fabulous trip for our family. It was an amazing two weeks and we enjoyed all of it. Our guide, Shalom Langer, was extremely knowledgeable and very kind. His passion and love for the history and creation of Israel was infectious! The accommodations were all very nice and perfectly suited to our needs. The staff at the tour office in Israel was helpful and answered all of our questions quickly. I have two very minor comments that I am merely passing along for your future use. By the time we arrived and checked in it was 4:00 in the morning Monday morning. Shalom had left a note at the desk we were starting at 7:30 am. We contacted him and pushed the start time to 10:00, which was fine except we missed our tour of Palmach Museum. That was a little disappointing, especially since it was prepaid. Not sure what their schedule is, but a tour later in the day might have made more sense. The only other quibble was not enough time to shop in Zefat. As I said, very minor and I mention them only that they may help you in the future. One of the best things we did was to join the e-Dan club before leaving. It cost nothing and provided a little bit of extra service at each hotel as well as a discount when checking out. Thank you again for helping us put together this trip. My husband and I would like to go back ... but I think we have to put our children through college first! All the best for a prosperous 2011.

I apologize for the long delay in sending you this special email. I want to thank you both for an amazing and well executed trip to Israel. We truly had an experience of a lifetime and felt we had done so much in such a short period of time. We had such confidence once we started on our journey that we were able to relax and enjoy!! Thank you for your patience in arranging all the plans. I also want you both to know how wonderful Doron Hoffman was. He went above and beyond....his personality, inteligence/knowledge, patience and passion made this experience!! He made sure we arrived to all of our destinations on time with information and details of what we were to see. He is truly exceptional and we had so much fun with him.!!!!!! He was able to relate to all of us....young and old. He was a "GIFT"..... and made us all love and want to protect our State of Israel! Again, thank you all for helping us make this pilgrimage to Israel and for making the Bnai Mitzvah celebration for our boys so meaningful and special.

I just want to express my sincere gratitude for arranging our trip to Israel. It was cleared that you took the time to make traveling and lodging an unforgettable experience. Thank you for requesting handicap rooms for mom and I and for the Jacuzzi in Tiberias. Everything worked according to plan, and the guide that was assigned to us, Nestor Feller, was sort of a miracle worker. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Feller to anyone, for he was always on time, cordial, funny, respectful, caring and most important experienced and very knowledgeable about touring Israel. Nestor made our experience even more pleasant and our trip memorable. I will be recommending your company to friends and relatives who have heard my story and are eager to visit Israel. Thank you again for all your patience during the booking process and please do not hesitate to call on me to provide references to anyone regarding your company, transportation or guide in Israel.

Linda and I wanted to thank you and your company for the tour of Israel that you arranged for us in July and August. Every suggestion that you made, from the hotels to the tour selections, was correct and all the arrangements were executed properly and efficiently. The transportation was the best. The guide you arranged for us, Mr. Hilik Silfin, was excellent and a pleasure to be with. He made the trip most enjoyable and memorable for us and our family.
Best regards,

If you remember me,  you helped me arrange a trip to Israel for me and my friend Lealand from Arizona. We returned last week from one of the great experiences of my life.  The guide Arieh was stupendous - knowledgeable, warm, respectful of Christian tradition and faith, fun, and very hard working.  The tour was exceptionally planned,  the hotels terrific, the food plenteous and delicious, and from start to finish, everything went so smooth.  I will certainly recommend you and Israel Tourism Consultants to my friends. Thank you for helping my friend and me enjoy a trip that exceeded by far our expectations!
Peace and Shalom.

Dear Charles and Alex, My husband and I just got back from our very first trip to Israel. We discovered your company "Israel Tourism Consultants" from a google search so were a bit hesitant, as we didn't know you or anyone that had dealt with you. We live in Toronto Canada, and you are located in California. But after speaking to you via telephone, we both felt very comfortable to move forward with our plans to book with you. We were on the "Ultimate Israel Tour" from September 6, 2011 to September 22, 2011. Charles, we appreciate your honesty in guiding us as to which tour would best suit our interests and needs, and which category hotel to stay at. At no time did you ever try to mislead or upsell us on anything. We stayed at the category C, Dan Panorama hotels and they were absolutely perfect. We were also so happy to have been on a group tour where we met the most exceptional people that we will continue to keep in touch with, from all over the world. The people on our tour were incredible. We could not have imagined sharing this trip with such wonderful people. We had high hopes and expectations for our trip and every single detail not only met, but exceeded our expectations. From the minute we landed in Tel Aviv there was a representative there waiting to pick us up and take us to our hotel. Every hotel, tour, and detail of our trip was exceptional. When it was time to leave, a representative was at our hotel, at the exact pre-arranged time, ready to take us back to the airport. There were no details left for us to worry about. Absolutely everything was taken care of. There were no unexpected costs, charges or surprises that were left out. We can honestly say that every detail was exactly as stated and promised, and/or better! Charles, we will be recommending you to our family and friends. We can't thank you enough. Wishing you all the best and continued good health and success. We look forward to dealing with again soon. with warmest regards and thanks,

Good Morning, Things are now settled down for me since our return from the Footsteps of Jesus Tour we took last month. I want to take a moment to let you know the tour was absolutely wonderful. After we got all the pre-tour bumps straightened out with some last minute changes on our part, when we got on the plane headed for Tel-Aviv, and managed to relax and begin to enjoy our trip. First impressions mean a lot. We were greeted in Tel-Aviv by our driven Yuri, and our guide Colette Nakhleh, both with open arms and smiling faces. They helped us with our luggage onto the awesome bus we had, and off to our hotel, which we found very very good, and a surprisingly great buffet meal. The rest of the trip followed suit. I am not the easiest person to impress, but I was - all the way around. The accommodations (hotels) were all above what I expected, and the meals were always great. Even the staff at each hotel was very helpful and accommodating. Yuri was always available for us, and we all clapped and cheered at his ability to maneuver that big bus in and out of the tightest places. What a gift! The bus was always ready for us in the morning & clean. Having said all that, the biggest delight was Colette. She made it for us, and I cannot say enough about her. Not only was her knowledge, both historical and Biblical, impressive, but her presentations at each site were clear and often inspiring. Or agreement was she would give her presentation, and then let me step in and have a word or two. As it turned out, most of the time, I was left with nothing much to add, as she had done such a superlative job in her presentation. Of added value was simply her personality. She was warm, caring and fun! We took a vote and decided we wanted to adopt her and take her home with us - but she declined! Colette was always ready to help us in any and every way. She made everything clear, and was patient when we fired a thousand questions at her. She was as flexible as time would permit if we wanted to linger at a particular site - like the garden tomb. Laura, I was also very pleased at the phone calls you made while we were there to make sure we were being taken care of. I could go on and on (you know preachers), but I will cut this off here. I know I would be very remiss had I not taken the time to let you know what a fantastic time we had, how happy we were with the tour, and as noted, our guide was the BEST! I know I can't give you credit for this, but even the weather was perfect! Please pass this information on to both Colette and Yuri. I think they deserve a pat on the back. Please feel free to reprint any or all of this, and to use me as a reference. This was my third trip to the Holy Land, and by far the best. God Bless,

I just wanted to let you know we had the most fabulous time in Israel. Inon was great. I will totally recommend you and Inon to all of my family and friends. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.

Our trip entitled "In the Footsteps of Christ II" was perfect. We could not of dreamed it could be this great!! We were fortunate to choose Israel Tourism Consultants after an extensive online search. Once we contacted Alex and Charles they were very helpful and professional. All aspects of the tour were exceptional; booking-flights-hotels-meals-travel arrangements and places we visited. This tour company did not charge us a fee for using our credit card to book the trip like many other companies do. Our tour guide, Yehuda, had over 24 years experience and our bus driver, Omar, was awesome. He got us in and out of places we only thought a bicycle could go. Our fellow travelers were friendly, kind and warm. We enjoyed meeting and traveling with each of them. There were so many places we visited we do not have enough space here to share all the positive memories. We were truly blessed to visit Israel and we plan on sending our children. We will use Israel Tourism Consultants once again. We would be amiss if we didn't.

Traveled with Israel Tourism Consultants on May 2012: We have taken 18 tours to Israel over the years and used several  different tour companies, some were ok and some were not so good. However, we have found the best tour company, Israel Tourism Consultants. Charles Dabby is so helpful and he will do everything he promises you. He is easy to work with as you plan what you want for your trip. Also, he gets answers to your questions really quick. Some tour companies are real slow in their responses,and do not do everything they say they will do. Everyone was very pleased with all the services he provided. I have found someone I can trust, and I can highly recommend. My search for a good tour company is over because I have found the best.

Exceptional !! I was trying to find a short way of expressing our gratitude for the high level of quality service you gave us and the word Exceptional fits just perfectly. My wife and I just returned from the Jewish Heritage Tour II trip and we wanted to express to you how thoroughly satisfied we were with the tour, the tour guide, the bus driver, the itinerary, the level of support from Diesenhaus and of course the wonderful assistance and recommendations we got from you, Charles, and Alex in setting it all up. As per your recommendation and guidance, we selected the B1 plan and cannot say enough about how wonderful the Carlton Hotel in Tel Aviv and the Mamilla Hotel in Jerusalem were. You are truly an expert in this field, and coupled with your honesty, sincerity and penchant for high satisfaction, it made our choices so much easier to make. Charles, we will be recommending you to our family and friends, and we also gave you glowing praise in Trip Advisor. We can't thank you enough. Wishing you all the best and continued good health and success. We look forward to dealing with again soon. With sincerest regards and thanks.

Hello Charles, Thank you for all of your help in making our trip so wonderful and successful. The tours were great. We had nice busses, our guides were wonderful, and the prices were exceptional. All of our people send you their thanks and appreciation. Thank you for all your time you gave me in preparing the trip and for all your helpful information. I am glad you suggested the Isle of Capri to complete our trip. I am really pleased with you and your tour company. Looking forward to the next trip.
