We are interested in taking a 12 day Israel/eilat tour with our daughter. She is 27 and we are 70ish. Can you tell me if the tour groups are generally seniors as most are? Or will she find others in her age range? We want to go in March.

Hi Jo - some of our tours are focused on certain age groups, but most are open to all. Please feel free to reach out directly at [email protected] for tour details and options! - Ayelet Tours

Doron and his team have been most helpful in setting up our Trip to Israel. The trip has been postponed 3 different times due to Covid. But they keep working to make it a trip we will never forget. We know the details are all covered and we are delighted our organization chose them. I can guarantee that we will be doing business with them in the future.

Thanks Kevin - we'll continue to work hard to make this trip a reality together! Shalom, Ayelet Tours

In 2020, my trip with this company was cancelled due to Covid. Owner would not make a full refund even though it violated their published policy. Was willing to try to go again this year. Owner prohibited me from going unless I took down the post. Told her I would take down post if I went on trip and enjoyed it. Owner declined and now I am not going with my Temple. This business owner has no integrity. Would not recommend.

Hi Amy - We would welcome you on the tour, as noted when we spoke. We asked that you temporarily remove your 1-star review until after the tour and then, once you had travelled, post whatever you wanted to say with no caveats or restrictions. You insisted you wanted the post to remain, which is of course your right. We look forward to creating another unforgettable journey for the Temple where you are a member. We are disappointed you chose not to join them to experience that for yourself. Shalom, Ayelet Tours

I booked a tour as part of a group. I signed on early and used Ayelet to book my business class airfare as well. They did not purchase the travel insurance that was requested. As a result of the pandemic, the trip was cancelled. They did not refund our full deposit. They created their own refund policy that was never agreed to when the trip was booked. I would not recommend them.

If you're looking for a company that will cater to your concerns, interests and needs, you can forget about getting support and assistance from this business. They don't comprehend that; they become defensive. I thought I found another tour group, outside of the others I've traveled with, that included trips for singles over 40. It seemed so. This one specifies a particular faith as well, which would have meshed with me. Though since airfare wasn't included, I had interest in setting up flights to connect with others from my area, I also preferred a reasonable flight rate, I inquired about the numbers of women to men going, I asked about discounts, I needed details on the trip insurance ! All these questions should have been expected & explained, without hesitation or delay. It was an International tour, not a local one by far. However, when I made an effort to get assistance on the varied matters, I was told I shouldn't go on their trip! Just imagine how that felt. Because they were irresponsible, I got booted. I received opposite the response I expected or deserved. I had been ultra motivated to travel. Though being meticulously curious with Ayelet Travel, especially the Best Day Adventures Tour to Tuscany and the Countryside, was my only downfall.

Hi Jill - Sometimes in life, matches aren’t meant to be, and that was the case here. Shalom, Ayelet Tours

I just returned from my first ever trip to Israel with Bill and Best Day Adventures. The trip went to all the highlights plus more. I have taken several trips with Best Day...it is a great company to travel with as a solo traveler and/or with friends.

Thanks Peggy - it was our pleasure to share our love of Israel with you and the whole group! Shalom, Ayelet Tours

Israel!!! Our group of 37, ages 10-80 was over the moon satisfied with Ayelet, our guide Roni, and driver, Menachim. They nimbly handled all the BIG items tour, and found gems of other sites and experiences. The bus rides were filled with historical, geographical and geological details, and the land sites equally outstanding using their own audio devices. The specialty hired guides with Jeep riding up Golan, the ANU museum, street tours in Haifa and Tel Aviv , excavating in Beit Guvrin, added fantastic moments in their area of expertise. Don't think twice about booking with Ayelet; they are professionals. The all inclusive pricing was a terrific value for 10 packed days. June 2022

Thanks Helene for your beautiful and kind words! We are so proud to create connections through travel and look forward to welcoming you back to Israel or elsewhere in the future! Shalom.

On April 26- May 7 my wife and I were on tour in Israel with a group of 300 folks from Elijah Streams from all over the world. Ayelet's operation was flawless and seamless, absolute perfection. It was the best trip we have ever been on and was simply outstanding. Danielle on the ground in Israel was amazing. Our bus tour guide Or Ben Ami was outstanding. He presented his country and represented his nation wonderfully. We learned and experienced so much! It was truly a life changing trip. Ayelet was so helpful with answering questions beforehand and taking care of us throughout. All accomodations and food was over the top. Such a pleasure and treasure we will never forget. We are not Jewish, but returned home so proud of Israel, her heritage, people and faith. Thanks again, Ayelet!

Hi Steve - thanks for your kind words! It was our pleasure to host you! Shalom, Ayelet Tours

Thank you Marc S. for helping us book our 11 night Jewish Heritage tour this December. Our trip was amazing and our tour guide Aaron was the best. I would highly recommend this company for your trip to Israel.

Thanks Lisa - it was our pleasure to help make your trip to Israel an unforgettable experience! Shalom, Ayelet Tours

We've used Ayelet for Hadassah travel to Israel. Sefie and other staff have been excellent and worthy of 5 stars. However, during the Pandemic, Ayelet has offered virtual travel and Israel related programs. One program featured Professor Stephen Berk from Union College for a series. I was disappointed with Prof. Berk's virtual lectures. He is very knowledgeable but also bombastic. So full of himself, it's a wonder he doesn't burst. He used his platform to gratuitously attack a pro-Israel group with whom he disagrees. This is not the time for discord among those who support Israel, nor is Ayelet's virtual classes the proper forum for Berk's personal political expression. It reflects poorly on the sponsor.

Thanks Bruce - I appreciate you noting our Israel tours and staff are 5 star worthy (I agree!). Hope all is well. Shalom!

My family and I had a tour with Ayelet in Israel in June 2022. The tour guide and bus driver were both phenomenal. My family and I had an amazing trip. Thank you so much, Ayelet!

Truly a pleasure Seth - thanks for your trust and your kind words! Shalom, Ayelet Tours

Excellent tour of the Pacific Northwest. It was my first tour with Ayelet and although I felt like the new kid on the block, it was well organized and fun. Karen was a great tour guide and handled some difficult circumstances easily and with good humor.

Thanks Ronnie! As you had the chance to see, we work hard to create travel programs filled with opportunities for memories to last a lifetime - so glad you enjoyed the Pac NW trip! Shalom, Ayelet Tours
