From a shore excursion visitor:
(RC Vision of the Seas - Oct 14-15, 2009)
Hello Alon! We are at an internet cafe in Greece.
We both had a fantastic time in Israel. We will definitely be back to visit your
country again someday soon. There are so many more things we wish to see and do
there after getting a small taste. We enjoyed our tour guide very much. He was
very knowledgable about the area and culture and answered all of our questions!
We both kept commenting on how beautiful, clean, and and fascinating Israel was.
We were highly impressed. It was by far the nicest country we had visited on
this trip. Really stunning and we are so proud we traveled so far and visited!
We will have lots of great stories photos and videos to share with people back
in NY. We would highly recommend your company to anyone we hear will be
traveling and we will use you again when we return!
Thanks so much, and please thank our guide for us. We really enjoyed our two
days with him!
Keep in touch!
Sincerely,
Angela and Ron

Alon, the tour was wonderful. Moti was knowledgeable, interesting,
friendly, and a great guide. We will recommend your company to all our friends
and you
can use me as a reference.

Dear Alon,
Thank you so much, we had an amazing day, I feel a huge part of it was the guide
you gave us. He was brilliant, so helpful, knowledgeable and the only sad part
was there was not enough hours in the day for us, the day went too fast.
I will definitely be sending my next 10 off on the 29th I think, however I will
confirm the day we arrive in Ashdod next, and I would love to request the same
guide for them as we had today.
Please pass on our gratitude to your amazing rep today, he was SUPER.
I will be in touch in a day or two to arrange the next couple, and for sure I
will pass your e-mail to other crew onboard.
God bless.

Dear Ofer,
Both Kait and I had a great time on both the Haifa and Ashdod
tours.
The Haifa trip we managed to see most things in the Nazerath/Galilee area but a
highlight was that we were taken to a kibbutz and were told how it all works and
how things have changed over the years.
We were taken to a restaurant for lunch but all 6 of us preferred to skip this
and rather just have a take-away lunch (falafels) to save time and money and it
worked out great doing this as we all bought some falafels in the kibbutz
(Really tasty).
Ashdod was a rather busy day but understandably because we visited both the Dead
Sea as well as Jerusalem. We are all so glad we decided to visit the Dead Sea as
it was truly an interesting experience and well worth the visit. We went to most
of the sites in Jerusalem and again for lunch just stopped for falafels in the
market so that we could see as much as possible.
Thanks again.

Recommendation to a prospective visitor from
a previous shore excursion visitor (Sept 29, 2009):
Dear Jane,
I booked 2 days with Guided Tours Israel in August from our
cruise ship -one in Northern Israel and one in Jerusalem... I would have no
hesitation recommending them, we had a fabulous 2 days, infact it was the
hi-light of our cruise. Nothing was too much for or too difficult for them. We
had a private tour bus, A/C very comfortable , knowledge of the places was
great, just a great experience.
We made our own schedule with some guidance from Alon and I'd be happy to share
our ideas with you if you are interested.
Go for it you will have a wonderful time.
Kind regards
Jayne
This from another visitor to a prospective
guest:
Hello Jane and Fred,
My wife and I were recently on a cruise on the Celebrity Equinox and used Guided
Tours Israel for tours starting in both Haifa and Ashdod (Jerusalem area). Our
tour guide was Zamir and he was excellent. We found Alon, whom I had emailed and
spoken with several times prior to the cruise, very easy to work with and very
professional. Zamir was very knowledgeable and
informative, as well as flexible in working with us. We had 6 people on both
tours which we had arranged, although 3 of the people who were on the tour from
Haifa were different from the ones in Jerusalem. All of us were Jewish and for
all of us, it was our first visit to Israel.
Feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.

Mr. Schneider,
Just wanted to express our satisfaction with our Jerusalem journey today...
Gozal was extremely professional and knowledgeable; our desires were met... the
day was well worth the cost. We will recommend your services in the
future.
Thank you

From the Crew of the Equinox again - Sept
29, 2009:
Hi, firstly they had a ball, fantastic time, but I knew they
would.
Guide was excellent and truly informative.
I am really thinking about doing it again myself, in a couple of weeks, as I
enjoyed it so much.
I will send you on some photos of both groups you can add to your website.
We only have approx one month left of the season here before the vessel departs
for the US, so time off and days off I have on a rota, however I have been
telling everyone about your organization, even our guests that sail with us.
I need to tell you, I have been around the world, Israel is truly gorgeous,
every one I know is so afraid to come here, however the country is beautiful,
people are so nice, so friendly and open to tourists, and mostly so safe. There
is definitely a presence of something special here.
Shalom
