The trip was amazing! My whole family loved it and the kids can’t wait to go back. The itinerary was well thought out, the hotels were great, and we loved our guide!

– LORI | ISRAEL FAMILY JOURNEY
The trip was awesome or “sababah” as we learned is the Hebrew word. Everything about the trip either met or in many cases exceeded our expectations. Very knowledgeable and helpful trip coordinator, Toby and guide, Yael. Very well planned, learned a lot and had terrific experiences in each stop on the trip. Highly recommend to others.

– CHERYL | My Turn in Israel
The trip was outstanding, and very meaningful. Unlike most "vacation" trips, I really took something home from this experience. The amount of ground covered, and history reviewed, was extraordinary for a trip of this length. The local guides were incredibly knowledgeable, as was the Authentic Israel leader, Gadi. I'd recommend this trip to anyone Read more about review stating Our Story - Jerry Greenseeking a better knowledge of of Jewish history, as well as the history of Eastern Europe, which are inextricably intertwined.

– JERRY | Our Story Central Europe
Our recent Authentic Israel trip was a "trip of a lifetime". We were traveling with our son and daughter-in-law and our three grandchildren, to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Our tour guide, Alon, was wonderful. His knowledge of the history of Israel was excellent. My husband and I were the only senior citizens among families with and witRead more about review stating Israel Family Journeyhout children. He took everyone's needs into consideration. His personality was dynamic. His assistant, Adi, was excellent as well. He was accommodating to everyone. He did a superb job entertaining the children, and you could tell he enjoyed doing it. I would highly recommend this tour to old and young alike!

– JACKIE | Israel Family Journey
You cannot go wrong with booking a My Turn in Israel trip. The itinerary was perfect, our director and tour guide were fantastic, and the memories we made will last a lifetime. Thank you Authentic Israel!

– BRITTANY | My Turn in Israel
The tour proved to be everything I was looking for and more. Learnt so much history of the people, their culture and their station in life in the ancient European cities. Was amazed by how much antiquity remains today. The guides were extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend - Great trip!

– EDITH | Our Story Central Europe
This was a truly amazing trip. We learned and saw so much. It was educational, fun and thought provoking. It hit the highlights and added activities we never would have done on our own.

- LEAH | Israel Family Journey
The trip was well planned with two leaders, Toby and Shabbat, who kept us running on time and learning things about the history of Israel, both past and present, while creating a new community of our own. It was a very memorable experience and one I will never forget. There were far too many "aha" moments to enumerate.
