We cannot say enough about how happy we are with our Private Tour arranged by Eyal. Booking online was scary but Eyal was patient and incredibly knowledgable about how to make our family reunion the best. He booked a very experienced guide (50 years plus!) Hillel who was knowledgeable and energetic and well known everywhere we went so that we were able to enjoy things that would have been impossible had we been alone or on a large bus tour. Eyal checked with us and our guide regularly and every detail was amazingly planned (even pick up and return to airport). We felt safe and pampered! Unfortunately our family came to Israel from 3 different continents and were tired or Hillel would have taken us even more places. His knowledge was amazing. Every step of the way, Eyal was honest about needed changes and was fair. We whole heartedly recommend this wonderful business to visit Israel!

Thank you to Eyal and Dana and our wonderful guide Menashe for a most wonderful 13 day trip to Israel. This was a “bucket list” trip for me to see the Holy Land and view the different locations where Jesus lived, visited, preached, healed, and died. We saw many sites besides these as well. Our hotels had very good accommodations, and the breakfast buffets were a site to behold.
Our private guide and driver, Menashe Sikerski, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about all sightseeing, as well as just a fun person to be with.
All aspects of our trip were seen to very professionally from start to finish!!!

I have traveled with Trips Israel twice. My first time in a regular individual tour, and second time with our church group. Both tours were well organized and lead. The transportation, tour guides and hotels were excellent. Meals were awesome, and the assistance in reservations, services and air flights were very helpful. Prices overall were the best ones I could find. Definitely Israel has been an unforgettable experience that I will gladly repeat using this company.

We signed up for a 10 night Christian Tour of Israel and Jordan (Late April) with Trips Israel LLC (Eyal). I think that Trips Israel is a broker that feeds into a larger operator based in Israel. We liked the itinerary and that it was advertised as small group with a maximum of 25 people. We emphasized to Eyal we were interested in a small tour because we felt smaller groups move around easier and we were sensitive to COVID. A few eeks before departure, we found out the tour size had grown to 35. We expressed our concern to Eyal. He mentioned that the operator was changing their approach moving forward and was creating two group sizes - 15 and 40. Despite this, he still has not changed the information on the site (as of 6/13/2023).

My wife and I got COVID at the end of the tour and know of at least 2 others that got it as well. Despite the fact that there were several people coughing at least one person on the bus visibly feverish and coughing non-stop, there was no attempt by the guide to safeguard others by either isolating her, having her wear a mask, or asking that she COVID test.

The tour sites and guides were excellent. The “Superior” hotels (except for one) were old, weary, and in need of a major facelift. The breakfasts and dinners were buffets in the hotel which emphasize quantity over quality and the lunches were Prix Fix menus. Nice tour overall but if you are looking for a small group tour of less than 25 you may not get it on this tour. Additionally, others that we met on the tour were able to get the same tour for about 250 pp less from a different operator.

Great trip, nice hotels and very well organized. I would definitely recommend Trips Israel to anyone interested in a visit to Israel. We also did Jordan (Petra) and Egypt through them and all went well. A big thanks to Eyal with Trips Israel for helping get it all booked.

In 2013, my wife Mary Ann contacted Shalom Journey to book a family group tour in Israel. She was referred to Trips Israel and to coordinate with Eyal Even. The rest is history. After two years, in 2015, we then started to organize a 12-Day Messianic and Jewish Heritage Tour in Israel. This was then followed again after two years, in 2015 in coordination with Sha’ar Adonai Congregation in New York and again last year in 2017. He provided us full information about each site we proposed to visit and interesting activities we can arrange with the travelers. The results of the travels using exclusively EL AL Airlines, the sites, the hotels, the driver, and specially the tour guide, Yitzchak Vaknin, were absolutely magnificent. Every Israel trip is different, unique, and quite refreshing as coordinated with Trips Israel. And currently we are again organizing another trip to Israel for 2019 with Eyal’s Trips Israel. LLC. He always provide us the finest service for us for all these years.

He is very patient especially in dealing with the small details that we would specify and at times, modifying dates, or hotels, or sites to visit. Also, he is calm and quite humorous, and as a matter of fact, he is a talented musician. He is very professional in making and coordinating plans with us. I would definitely recommend Trips Israel if you are planning a trip to Israel.

The highlight of my dream trip was being upgraded to a five stars hotel called King David hotel. Everything on this trip has far exceeded my expectations. This is a top travel agency with quality service! I can't thank you enough Eyal.

Thankful for the opportunity to work with Trips Israel. We were especially pleased with the price of the trip for all we were able to do, and the accommadations, and that we could fly out of Atlanta, which was further savings for our large group from the southeast.
