What our guests say

Thank You David and Adina for a wonderful and well-organised tour. You created a wonderful atmosphere amongst the group.

Thank you everyone for helping make this trip so amazing. It honestly felt like one big family

Had dinner with a friend last night, and found myself gushing about my Iceland trip: the sights, the tour guides, the people on the tour, the food. It was a special trip.

 

Chaya Kohl

It was truly an absolutely terrific trip in all ways:

In the organized touring, in the beautiful places we visited, in the inspiring Hashkafah that everything was presented with, in the wonderful, friendly group of people we shared the trip with, in the delicious meals, in the pleasant, loving, and joyous manner of our hosts. It was a summer to remember.

The greatest trip we have ever experienced!

Thanks to David and Adina and their wonderful team.
See you soon ❤

Pinhas and Léa Kerendian

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!
