With this group you will feel beautifully included ,travel to amazing places while getting to build a safe and inclusive community with people that are looking to do the same!"

Their outstanding commitment to the success, the top 5 stars hotels, the super restaurants we are eating , and some late get together open to all males this organisation very different from a lot of other companies where you are just a number and not part of a great family where every one in the tours becomes friend with each other before they leave.

"Another wow moment swith your pref.erred tours in Greece 2023"
"I appreciate all your efforts in putting it all together for us to make it fun,it was a therapy for me.The trip was well organized,my sister and l,we were pleased with the guide,the hotels ,and the foods that were served .Many thanks for organizing such a wonderful trip to Israel,I am looking to go for more trips with you,and l will recommend to some friends to travel with you,l want also to thank you for your patience.Both of you did a wonderful job."
"First time traveling with a group out of the states. Definitely will not be my last with 'your preferred tour' I genuinely cannot wait for my next experience."
"Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! I had a wonderful time. Sister Nicole and Jenni are the Best of the Best."
"I enjoyed my trip to Israel with Preferred tours! The guides were excellent, the trip was fun, and I met a lot of new people. Seeing where Jesus was as well as others in the Bible was eye opening and has changed the way I read the Bible."
"I had a blast!!"
"The Jerusalem trip was one of the best spiritual experience for me and my spouse; tracing the steps of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. Jinny and Nicole are great leaders; they make a wonderful team. Their communication skills, professionalism, and patience are impeccable. They are always ready to answer questions with a smile. The spiritual leaders (pastor David), Hotels selection, the food, tour guide, drivers etc were excellent. I am getting to travel with them again. Thank you preferred tour for chosen such a great team to help with our traveling experience."
"Great communication between the host and the group. Everything on the itinerary was fulfilled. Exceed my expectations. Definently my preferred tour."
"I went on the “Retracing Jesus’s steps” tour in Israel late Jan/early February 2023 and had a blast! The excursions were well thought out and organized to satisfy a group of 70+ pilgrims from the USA. Lots could go wrong with such a large group but we experienced minimal issues. The local tour guides were A+ ( Gavriel was my local group tour guide and Khalil was our driver). Gavriel was super knowledgeable, patient and kind. He went above and beyond answering all of our questions (spiritual, cultural and political) ensuring we had a great experience and kept us safe at all times. There is not a cultural site that I didn’t like. We really walked the paths Jesus walked while on earth in Israel which was a humbling experience for me. The stories from the Bible came alive, making you feel special. The accommodations were comfortable, and it was a big plus that the tour operators (Jinnie and Nicole) included daily breakfasts and dinners as part of the package. Out of pocket expenses were for lunch and your own shopping. They did their best to ensure everyone had a good experience from airports to shuttles to hotels to excursions with time planned for shopping. You could join all the activities or stay in your hotel if you didn’t want to. The cost of the tour was very competitive and more affordable than other organized tours I was considering before deciding to go on this tour. One suggestion for change is to possibly stay more nights at 1 or 2 centrally located hotels for the duration of the tour to limit packing and moving if possible. This tour is appropriate for all age groups as long as you’re mobile to walk the grounds comfortably. Everyone was nice and helpful to one another. I highly recommend this tour."
"Your guide was very professional,"
"It was a good experience,my preferred Tours leaders are very talented and caring,I will fly with them again with no problem"
"Nicole & Jinny handled to tour very well! I enjoyed every bit of the trip. Highly recommended."
"Fun, beautiful ex tour guid perience, well organized, great guide and driver, keeps up the good work sister Nicole and Jenny"
"Excellent service, best tour leaders and guides, affordable prices, flexible payment terms"
