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.

The Andean Highlands around Quito, Ecuador, are known for their breathtaking natural beauty. They feature dramatic landscapes, lush cloud forests, and volcanic peaks. This incredibly diverse area offers everything from high-altitude adventures to tropical forest escapes.

  • Spend your days snorkeling, hiking, and interacting with the mellow animal inhabitants sailing from island to island on a deluxe yacht.
  • Spend Friday & Shabbat exploring the high-altitude capital city, Quito, one of the oldest South American cities and a UNESCO Heritage Site.

Adina and David’s attention to detail – like providing snacks every two hours – felt almost parental. The delight on their faces when they saw our enjoyment of both the natural and the hotel/food sights, was palpable. They are very giving people and very spiritual.

We decided to take (a different tour with a different company) this past summer. The only problem was it couldn’t compare to a Lebor program. We found ourselves comparing the way it was run to your program. Hands down Lebor wins.

Lebor Tours trip to Iceland this summer was absolutely amazing! David and Adina are experienced, passionate, energetic tour guides, who love to share their passion of enjoying Hashem’s world with others. Icelands’s numerous landscapes and sights- from waterfalls, geysers, mudpots, lagoons, fjords, rock formations, coastlines, and mountains, were all beyond description. The delicious, abundant, generous food that was served every day would satisfy any type of eater and was beyond delicious! All of us on the tour became one, with a real sense of camaraderie. Some of the attendees sharing their life experiences with us was one of the highlights of Shabbos. David and Adina are organized, enthusiastic, tour guides, who know what it takes to make a successful tour! It will take a long time for us to come down from this incredible high experience!
