Millions of people planned to come to Israel this year but were forced to cancel due to the pandemic. This is disappointing for them − and downright disastrous for the Israeli tourism industry.
Here’s your chance to both experience Israel in a powerful way and support Israeli tour guides during this challenging period. With over a dozen online, experiential tours scheduled over the course of the year – from November 2020 through August 2021 – you’ll visit Israel twice a month… without the jet-lag.
Your virtual tours are excellent! Learning and fun combined… a wonderful series.
