BATUMI GEORGIA 19 JULY 2021
As independent travelers, it was with some trepidation we joined a group.
Immediately, we felt in good hands by the updated information and availability of organizers. The whole tour to Batumi Georgia was a balance of activities and free time, without the feeling of being over organized.
The friendliness, efficiency and flexibility as well as good choices of activities, and not forgetting the superb cuisine made for a memorable holiday. We look forward to further trips once we have lost the weight gained.
In short, highly recommended. Thank you Chana and David and Kosher Travelers team.

We had a most wonderful tour. I think that the fact that we were a small group, … that we visited a picture postcard country and the last but no way the least, our tour guide who gave of himself unstintingly and more, …made this such a memorable experience.
How are you going to top this one??!!
Hi Kosher Travelers,
I just wanted to rave about Gilda Posner and how awesome she was on the Pesach 2023 Nof Ginosar trip. We came to Nof Ginosar in the middle of Pesach during Chol Hamoed and Gilda immediately sought us out from the hundreds of folks there to make sure that my son and I were settled. She provided invaluable information on what to do given our unique situation and kept following up with us during the entire time, every day, to make sure we were having a good time and were taken care of. She helped us with ideas to do during the day, made sure we had Kosher for Passover food on the 8th day as we are Americans and celebrate 8 days of Pesach, and was just a joy to talk to and be around. You are lucky to have found her. She made a huge difference on our trip.

“We can’t stop talking about and reminiscing about our Pesach vacation at Nof Ginosar with Kosher Travelers. It was the perfect family retreat, everyone had something to do while we were all together. Kids had the run of the world in this beautiful pastoral setting,( not to mention the gorgeous pictures that were facilitated by this extraordinary background) The adults loved sitting outside together schmoozing and enjoyed the inspiring and insightful lectures that Rabbi and Dr, Yael Ziegler delivered. We looked forward to the meals, the food was delicious and abundant, hard to believe it was Kosher L’ Pesach!! Our evenings were also entertaining as the program offered activities which were much enjoyed by all of us. We miss those days and look forward to our next trip with Kosher Travelers!!”
Many thanks for the special efforts on my behalf. The meals in Dublin were outstanding… All the hotels were very beautiful and well located.
Dear David and Chana,
We are writing to thank you for the wonderful Pesach, at the Elysium, we celebrated with you, your extended family and guests. Moreover, we extend to you a second thank you for convincing us, the entire Schuster/Korros family, to “take the plunge.” It was so much fun for all of us to be together, over the holiday, in such a beautiful place. The entire experience was “over the top,” including the hotel, the food, the programs the atmosphere, truly everything. We marveled at how organized you were. It all went like clockwork, and we appreciate how much work the two of you and your team put in both ahead of, and during, the holiday to make that happen. Kol ha-kavod to you. We wish you more successful tours and Pesach programs in the years to come. By all means, keep up the good work!
Fondly,
