Private Family Tours with Keshet
Planning your own trip to Israel is a daunting task. You have to find accommodations that are comfortable yet meet your budget, create the ideal itinerary from among hundreds of possibilities, and select a guide who will be a friend as well as a teacher. Most importantly, you have to keep your kids enthralled while the entire family is engaged in a learning experience.
Will Keshet do all this for you? No, we'll do it with you. By working through the program options based on your priorities and our experience, and with a good deal of back and forth by e-mail and phone calls, we will help you create a once-in-a-lifetime trip for your family or group.
If you choose this option, we will work with you to create an itinerary and to choose hotels specific to your budget and needs. We will hand pick a guide for you – one that can show you Israel and teach Judaism and Jewish history in a way that you and your family will hopefully find inspiring. With a private program, you have more flexibility in terms of dates, hotel levels and itineraries. Although there are significant advantages to be had by joining one of our groups, with the private tour option you will be free to shape the daily program as you wish- to emphasize nature and hiking experience or a tour of Israeli's wineries; to take advantage of every minute or to make your schedule around visiting relatives around the country.
We look forward to working with you. Please feel free to contact Leah or Yossi at our Private Tour Department (leah@keshetisrael.co.il) with any questions.
