Firstly I would like to say how lovely it was to see you both after many years, and how proud I was to see how you managed a group of grumpy “alte katchkes” like us. You are both fine responsible adults who are truly working in an industry which I am sure is difficult and competitive, but suits your personalities and strengths very well. You did a wonderful job catering to everyone’s likes and otherwise. Well done. Menachem and I truly enjoyed our cruise and all that went along with it and will be sure to recommend you to our friends. The happy memories will stay with us for a very long time. Thank you. May you go from strength to strength and enjoy much success. Warmest Regards

I am writing to you to express my thanks for all that this trip turned out to be.

Organizing and running Kosher tours is not an easy task and your company achieved a degree of professionalism and excellence which will be hard to meet.

The hotels were first class and well located in every city. The eating arrangements were superb and displayed the attention to detail which your company did so well.

Dear David and Chana,

I hope you are taking a well deserved rest after a busy time leading up to Pesach and then during the chag as well.

I want to thank you for the wonderful way in which you accomodated myself and my family. You certainly looked after us very nicely, both with regard to our rooms as well as to the area allocated to us for our seder.  This certainly enhanced our chag experience.

As well I want to commend you on the interesting and varied program you organised and  the pleasant atmosphere that was obvious everywhere.  This was in no small way enhanced by your friendliness and responsiveness to any request made of you

I wish you continued success in all your endeavours.

I look forward to spending chag with you again in the future.

Warm regards,

We had an excellent time. This was the 6th time we’ve been away for pesach and it it was the best of the six. The food was excellent; the room was too (a garden flat). We met quite a few people and we sat with our friends. Rabbi Cardoza was very thought-provoking. Thank you.

“We have returned home after spending the first Hag of Pesach at Hacienda hotel in Ma’alot with your group. It exceeded our expectations! The place is beautiful, the food was great, the staff was extremely helpful, and the atmosphere was just what we had hoped for. We enjoyed the Tfilot, the rich program, and most of all. I enjoyed the “Shiurim” of Rabbi Ronen & Rabbanit Pnina Neuwirth. As a distant family relative of Eddi Fruedman I am glad that the brand carrying his name is a symbol of high quality. Thank you and all the team.”

It’s so nice to see that everyone is still glowing from our nature and torah retreat experience. I too enjoyed meeting everyone. Special thanks for all those photos from the big island. Really beautiful and looks like the fun just kept going on. It was a very warm and friendly group and much appreciated, especially as a solo participant. Many thanks to Kosher Travelers!

Happy chanukah to you all.

Dear David and Chana,

I want to thank you both for orchestrating a totally amazing and completely successful Pesach prog at the Elysium , Rhodes.

We both felt highly motivated, involved and made many new friends.

I was analyzing why the  8 days was such an outrageous success and the following 5 points came to mind :

  1. The island of Rhodes is an idyllic location with its natural beauty and rich, though tragic, jewish history. There is simply so much to explore and see.
  2. The Elysium Hotel delivered a level of friendly and efficient service beyond our wildest expectation. The staff, in their entirety, could not be more helpful and pleasant to deal with. The position of the hotel is triple A, nestling right on  the warm Med and the rooms were so comfy.
  3. The cuisine was of the highest quality and a very big hashakoach to the kitchen staff and mashgichim.
  4. The details of the daily prog were a scientific work of art with something for everyone from 3 years to 80 ! The planning thereof was exceptional and, being an annal bean counter myself, I was highly impressed with the structure and content of the various activities.
  5. And finally, all the participants spoke English !! What a win. We could converse and get to know one another without the barrier of a foreign language. We met many new fascinating individuals and families  whom we’ll endeavour to remain in contact with in the year ahead.

So, all in all, a wonderful and unique experience and clearly a model you’ve created  which has been positively accepted and PG will grow from strength to strength  in the years to come.

Shabbat shalom and oncemore, toda raba from Leora and I.

Kind regards,

Michael Sternberg

We had such a wonderful trip in Chanuka Dubai Tour 2022 with Chana and David Walles and their fabulous Dubai tour group. From comfortable and timely transportation, to the delicious buffet banquet meals and great group energy, it really is clear why so many people choose to vacation with Kosher Travelers. Thank you once again to Chana and David for making our Chanukah in Dubai so special! Looking forward to our next Kosher Travelers adventure!
