Our Groups & Tours   ​We encourage you to ask us about joining any of our groups and tours listed.  Some are private groups while others allow your participation which usually gives you better pricing!   If you are participating in one of these tours, you don’t always have to be “with” the group at all.  You just get the benefits!  Additional groups now forming for many destinations and this changes constantly!      Scroll Down!  

         Been there, done that..... but not quite enough?

​Have you experienced the Holy Lands before and want to return?   We are working on an itinerary for what we are calling "Israel ..  201"    Geared to those who have already been to the Holy Land and seen the major sights, this trip will feature visits to the "State of Mind" Innovation Center to learn about Israeli start-ups in science, medicine, security, space and more.   Visit the Netafim greenhouse, a local winery, spend more time in the Bahai Gardens, experience a special "Shabbat of a Lifetime" dinner in a local home, the cliff-hanging Monastery of St. George, a roof-top tour of the Old City neighborhoods in Jerusalem and much more.  It's still in the works with inclusions and days being juggled for a more in-depth look at this awe-inspiring country.  Petra and Eilat may also be added.   Call Pat to add your input and find out more information as it is available.
