Dubai Tour November 2022

We had a very good time in Dubai for Chanuka 2023. The people in the group were great and and David and Chana were very efficient and friendly. Everything ran smoothly. The food was plentiful and very tasty. We stayed in a nice hotel and appreciate the good service. We would certainly highly recommend this tour and look forward to joining future trips

Rosette & Baruch Solnica

Good evening David

We are just back from the China trip – tired and coldish but utterly exhilarated by all we have seen and experienced. Rona and Aaron Michelson were simply marvellous and the tour more than lived up to our expectations.   We are also very grateful to you for organising our onward trip to Hong Kong. All the arrangements worked like clockwork and the hotel was superb. Our guide -Canny – who we highly recommend –  made our four day stay really enjoyable and took us at a sensible pace.   Our appetites have been truly whetted for more ‘kosher’ explorations and we look forward to another adventure perhaps this time next year.   Shabbat shalom and regards

Dear Chana, I want to thank you and David and your kids, for the amazing opportunity to spend Pesach in Rhodes with you in Gan Eden on earth🙂. Everything was perfect! You thought about the tiniest details, I was really impressed. The whole plan of that week was interesting, entertaining and in the highest level . The food was unbelievable. You are amazing!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Shabbat shalom, Efrat

Dear David,

I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful memorable trip to China. I know you worked very hard to cope with our group and we certainly appreciate all that you did to make everything go smoothly. I hope you have had a good rest since your return. We certainly needed to recuperate from the hectic schedule but it was all very worthwhile.

To David and Chana,

Thank you so much for such a wonderful vacation to Batumi, Georgia in August 2022.  It was truly a pleasure to not have to worry about a single thing!! The delicious food and wonderful company only made it better. Chana, you are a master at taking care of people and paying attention to the little details.  We definitely hope to be able to travel with you again sometime soon.

Lori and Seth Gerson, Chashmonaim, Israel

David and Chana,

Thank you again for an incredible program and meaningful Pesach. I truly appreciate your kindness in inviting me to join you and your family for Shabbat meals. It was fun!

I would love to continue our marketing conversation. I am happy to speak to any person to tell them how wonderful the program was and help in any way with Guest Relations (I can handle tough personalities with ease 🙂

 Both of your passion and understanding/expertise in this business is evident.  You took care of every detail and it showed. It made a huge impact on the my family’s chag.  

Thank you again.

Shabbat Shalom.

All the best,

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??!!

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.
