THE BEAUTY

The Galapagos Islands stunning landscapes, flora, wildlife, and underwater wonders resemble another world. The best way to visit them is on a cruise.

Cruising on a first-class ship like “The Legend” through one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the world is an experience that you will remember forever.

Ecuador’s rainforest is regarded as the most species-rich section of the Amazon. Known as the Oriente, Ecuador’s Amazon Rainforest is home to astounding biodiversity, with more than 300 species of mammal, 800 species of fish, and 350 species of reptile.

THE Guides

The tour will be led by David and Adina Lebor with over two decades of experience leading Jewish groups all over the world.

The main guide and chief of operations on the trip is Nir Azai of Mundo Trip, Israel. Nir lived in South America for many years and has been guiding tour groups in South America for decades. 

In each venue, we will also have local trackers, guides, and naturalists that are experts in their field.

THE TOURS

  • The coastal town of Guayaquil, full of old cobblestone streets and narrow lanes will take you back in time.

What our guests say

Dear David and Adina,

We've been on many tours over the years, but this one was extra-special. The attention to detail, the "service with a (constant) smile", and the outstanding touring and catering were unparalleled.

We're so happy to have gotten to know you both and look forward to touring with you in the future.

Fondly,

Tamar and Jay Bindiger

You are wonderful guides and very special people. All your planning made for a wonderful trip.

Looking forward to more trips!

Thanks for everything!

Cindy

Many thanks for a wonderful tour of Iceland. You were both terrific guides and hosts. The food was fabulous, and the staff was TERRIFIC.

Bill and Toby Albert

Your scholarship and passion for the land and its history were very much appreciated. You helped us feel welcomed and valued as visitors to the Holy Land.

We particularly enjoyed feeling your excitement about the discoveries associated with The City of David. The ending ascent up the stairs heading to the Temple Mount was wonderfully moving, reminding us how anciently Israelites would ascend to the Mount to worship in the Temple.

Thank you…
for reminding me that deep inside I still have the joy of a child
to help me get through every single day.
Going with you to Iceland was like going to Disneyland for the first time.
