America Israel Tours® (AIT) America Greece Tours®Reviews of americaisraeltours.com

Many parts of the tour were exceptional: Mt. Precipice, Nazareth Village, Sepphoris, Arbel Cliff, Sea of Galilee and the ride on the boat, Magdala, Bethsaidi, Mensa Christi, Qasr el Yahud (Jesus actual baptism site) and Kursi. These are all spiritual and relate to Jesus Ministry and the period of His time. Helps bring the Bible into focus. Similarly, on the Old Testament scale, Gideon Springs, was very interesting. The Nabatean village, and the Bedouin camp, where we rode camels, were very educational regarding how these peoples lived and in the case of Bedouins how they continue to survive in a desert environment. Very interesting. The Western Wall tunnels, and the Temple Institute were fascinating and bring you close to the plans for the 3rd Temple. The Israel Museum was also a highlight as you can see the miniature of the Old Jerusalem and Temple during the time of Christ, follow the development of the Biblical Scrolls and the impact of the community of the Essenes and Dead Sea Scroll discovery. It is too bad that the tour neglected the Bible Museum, which was just next door and could have filled in other important details. And this brings me to the next point, which are the negatives. There were parts of the tour that were neither spiritual nor relevant to the American audience. We love Israel, the Jewish people, and the Lord gave them this land. But, it was not necessary to spend a whole morning at Mitzpe Ramon in honor of - and I say this very respectfully - the Israeli astronaut who died in the Columbia Shuttle explosion. I simply note that 5 Americans perished as well. I think less time there, less time at the David Ben Gurion burial site would have allowed time for more Biblically oriented sites. Ben Gurion was indeed a monumental figure in Israeli and world history, but there could have been a more efficient way to present the information. (I do want to commend the tour guide who was very friendly and endearing). Similarly, we were also taken down a long windy road for a 9/11 memorial. I think this was unnecessary, as every year we mourn those who perished on that tragic day and we hold services to remember. In sum, with a little tightening, the tour could be significantly improved. As with all AIT tours, the lodging and food were very good and we have no complaints.

We truly enjoyed our adventure to Israel and we learned much of the ancient land by actually being there rather than through books, and for that aspect we give 5 stars. The difficulty in traveling by air was extremely difficult for us and we have vowed to never attempt to travel by air again. We had not traveled since 1977 when we left Iran and we had virtually no memory of the cramped seating, and near impossibility to rest, on top of the 40 plus hours of being awake our bodies were not used to, I had not attempted to be awake for that length of time since I soldered many decades ago. The travel aspect was not anticipated and had we known the difficulty our bodies would go through we would not have made the trip. After returning home and resting, we have a lot of memories and thoughts to consider and all in all, we are happy we made the decision to go to Israel, it was a once in a life time adventure for sure, and it will be our last adventure of this type.

Great experience. Traveled throughout Isreal, learning about its history, culture and current status. Visited numerous Biblical sites. For me, the tour guide, Yoram, made the trip extra special, as he is very knowledgeable about Isreal, and he made an effort to make me feel special and he went above and beyond to meet our every need. Shalom.

I have traveled to many countries and seen many things. Going to Israel was always on my bucket list. While looking for a tour, I found the America Israel Tours and was impressed with what I saw. I booked this trip for my sister and I. We went during the mother's day weekend/week. I must say that this was the best trip of my life and going on this tour with America Israel Tours brought it to a full circle. Our tour guide was the best I've ever come across (Jair) He was so professional, educated and passionate. I have already recommended this trip to several of my friends and will continue to do so. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Everyday was absolutely wonderful and I felt cared for and safe the entire time. Loved it <3

I wanted to wait to write a review about my trip to Israel. It has been almost 3 weeks since we have been home from our 5 year anniversary trip to the Holy Land and I have had time to reflect and soak it all in. Words cannot describe the 8 days we spent on this journey, it would be equivalent to a year in the classroom. Our guide Yair and all of the wonderful people at American Israel tours were terrific and went out of there way to make it epic and memorable! Everyday my husband and I would get up like little kids ready to learn about this beautiful God blessed land. To be where our Lord and Savior was born, lived and died is beyond powerful! Our guide Yair would read from the text (New Testament) as we went from town to town and place to place, at different moments and you never knew when it would happen, my husband and I would be overwhelmed with tears, speechless and moved by what we were seeing, feeling, and experiencing. Every believer should go to the Holy Land, thank you to our guide, friend and now brother Yair and all of the beautiful people we met that we will NEVER forget. American/Israel tours made it possible and a TRIP OF A LIFETIME! As Yair would say, "When the testament aligns with the archeology, it is a beautiful thing!" SHALOM and Thank you....Shanna J. Brown

Enjoyed the trip thoroughly! Many sights seen in each day. Driver and guide were excellent.

I loved every single minute of my time in Israel thanks to AIT. I would go back again to bring my wife and mother in-law or do the Roots of Your Faith II. Yair is the best tour guide ever. He is very knowledgeable and the way he explain things are thought provoking. He keeps you engaged the whole time which says a lot about him because being able to do that for 7 days is not easy. Shlomi is the best driver ever and he makes sure we get to our destination safe and sound. Shlomi and Yair make the best duo. We appreciate these two guys a lot and would love to see them again in the near future. They became our friends at the end of the tour. I grew to love Israel through the eyes of these two men and will be back soon. What an incredible week! I miss Israel.

Yair was an amazing guide! Israel is an amazing place and I can't wait to go back.
