"I had a blast!!"

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.

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"
