My son, myself and a friend of ours took quite a number of tours with you. I can say that without a doubt that I will reccommned your group to anyone I know going to Israel. Informative, and fun at the same time, the tours exceeded my expectations each and every day. I cant wait until i can go again so i can take the tours with you a second time!

I just received my  Bill. I can''t believe my son Dovid Teddy and I went on so many tours all over Jerusalem, Tiveria, Caesaria, Haifa, Tsfat, Masada, Dead Sea, Hebron and Keva Rachel, for so little. We had the best time and thoroughly enjoyed all the tours. Rabbi Jacobs and Haim are so knowledgeable and informative. Now that my son Noah lives in Jerusalem, I am sure we will be back for another visit soon and will schedule more tours (ie. Eilat and Tel Aviv).Our best regards to Rivkah and Miriam who kept us on schedule and recommended the tours we took. I have been recommending Artzenu to all our friends who may be visiting Israel next year.We wish you all should be written in the book for a good and healthy year.

Deborah & I had a fabulous time on your tours with Haim.  He is the best guide ever.  Everyone remarked about his knowledge and insight. 

We too took three tours last summer. All amazing.I have recommended Artzeinu to anyone interested. Like most of your reviews, we especially liked Chaim. Hope we can return soon to Israel and would definately like to take the Massada tour at night!

We had the best time of our lives! Haim Sidor is a remarkable tour guide. He incorporated his huge understanding of History and Torah into spellbinding tours of Israel. We learned so much and came away with with a deep love of Israel our homeland. We were not an observant family but since this trip my husband and sons believe in miracles and we are observing Shabbat again. We are even considering Aliyah. We highly recommend Artzeinu tours to all.

Thank you all for helping to make our trip great. The Kings Hotel in Jerusalem and the Galei Kineret in Tiberias were perfect. The tour in Jerusalem to the Ir David - Tunnel tour was great. I can't remember the name of our guide as I have that home but he was wonderful. We arrived home Sunday evening and it is now Monday lunchtime and we are trying to get over our jet lag. Thank you again.

Morris Weiss and Debby Weiss

Good morning Chaim,

         A personal thank you from Debby and I. Believe it or not since we had to take care of the older two kids in the group (while in the tunnel) we had more fun. That young girl B"H knew so much of Tenach is was a pleasure. Your presentation was perfect and we have advised our daughter and son-in-law to make sure they book this same  tour with you as their guide. May Hashem give you Archat Yomim.

Hello. 

I just wanted to take a minute and let you know that the 3 tours we
had these past few days were wonderful. We learned we played and had 
 a great time.

Thank you to all of you and our awesome guides!

Thank you for the wonderful tours you arranged over our 2 week visit to Israel for Pesach!  We enjoyed each of them tremendously. Ending with our Friday (April 9) "jeeping", the ride was fun, the views were incredible, the wading thru Nachal Prat and our guide Daniel made the outing interesting.  Our children (teens) and their Israeli cousins (who've seen and done "everything already") really enjoyed.

Our trip to Yam Hamelach, Mazada, and Ein Gedi, on Thursday (April 8)  with Chaim was a real full day, but well paced with hiking, nature, scenery,and history highlights. *

We also found the "bar Kochva tunnels" trip with Chaim, the previous Thurs. (chol hamoed) to be a lot of fun, especially Radar Hill (I know its a serious site, but our kids enjoyed the climbing, seeing and doing), and of course the highlite-climbing thru the underground tunnels (yes, even I the 40+ mom of the group went thru- you can tell prospective tourists.)

Sunday chol hamoed we went to Chevron, Maaras Hamachpela and Kever Rochel, not to be missed!  Yehoshua was excellent.

And thanks again for the airport transportation.  That went well.

 Hoping to be back soon, and a big yasher co-ach and thanks. 

Rivka Himmel & family

We went on the Ein Gedi/Massada/Dead Sea tour with Haim Sidor and it was fantastic. Haim was intelligent, entertaining, enthusiastic, patient and a pleasure to spend time with.I also want to thank Rivkah for her assistance from the office. She made this tour possible for us.Thanks Haim, Thanks Rivkah, Thanks Artzeinu!

we thoroughly enjoyed our two tours with our excellent tour guide Chaim Sidor (not front door).

We just returned from a wonderful trip to eretz Yisrael. We went on 3 Artzeinu tours - the two day Galil/ Golan, the Bar Cochba Caves, and the Kotel Tunnel tours. Our guides were Yehaya Jacobs and Chaim Sidor. The tours were absolutely amazing - very informative and enjoyable ..... we look forward to the other Artzeinu tours on our future trips to eretz Yisrael. Thank you! The Linsky Family

I wanted to thank you for a wonderful experience in Israel. It was great for me and my family. Both Yeshiya and Chaim were incredible. They conveyed not only information, but also vision and passion and, most of all, Torah. I don't think we could have found better people to help pass on to our kids what Israel really means to a Jew. You are doing wonderful and holy work. God should be with you and bless you and your families and give you success and the continued strength to bring Jews closer to their land.

My parents just called me and they loved the tour.  As always, Artzeinu did great.  They really enjoyed their tour guide, Chaim.

Thank you,

Mindy Mandelbaum

My wife and I were on your 2 day tour up north in July. Our guide (Chaim) was fantastic. His knowledge of everywhere we went and everything we passed on the way was truly amazing. I recommend this tour to everybody. Even if you've been up north before.

Thank you very much for the tours. I enjoyed them very much when I was in Israel. Keep it up and I will pass on your agency to people I know in the states.

Lashana Tova!!!

To everyone at artzeinu I have just been on two tours with artzeinu tours with my 12 year old son. I cannot speak highly enough of all the people I dealt with, in particular, Chaim. He is an awesome tour guide and was the difference between a good tour and an absolutely fantastic one !! His knowledge is incredible ! I will have no hesitation in recommending Artzeinu and look forward to attending more tours in future iy"h.

To the staff @ Artzeinu, and especially our tour guide Chaim; 

A short note to say thank you for making our vacation in Eretz Yisroel so much more meaningful. Whether it was davening by the various kivrei Tzaddikim, walking through the tunnels of Ir Dovid or floating in the Dead Sea, we learned so much about our true homeland that we never knew before. May you only see Brocha in the work you do.

Rivkah,

We wanted to thank you for the AMAZING tours and how well you and your staff worked with us in setting them up.  Chaim was absolutely wonderful on all of the tours. Each tour was given with much enthusiasm and he answered all of our questions and commentaries.  We were particularly impressed with his interaction with our children.  Each day they would ask us if Chaim was leading the tour.  Please send him our regards.

Thank you very much.

Dear Artzenu

Thank you so much for making our visit to Eretz Yisroel such a memorable one. My wife and I arrived in the Holy Land without any definite plans. We knew that we wanted to see and experience as much as we possibly could in the two weeks we were there; for my wife this was her first time in Eretz Yisroel.

Your staff were most helpful and amenable; the tours incredibly inspiring and informative, I cant imagine a more meaningful and action packed two weeks, and we owe much thanks to you for this.

From the Old City Tour, to Chevron, Tzfas, the dead sea, Masada, Kotel Tunnel Tour, and the list goes on and on. Our tour guide Chaim (with whom we toured most often) and his wealth of knowledge and unique way of presenting things, was well received and enjoyed by us, and clearly by the others who attended.

Thank you again and we will be sure to recommend you to our friends and others who plan to visit Eretz Yisrael.

Rabbi Meir Shlomo and Yehudis Kluwgant

I was in Israel the week of Lag Baomer on a visit for my first time and was really trying use every spare minute to see the most possible and was scared that I might not  get the right agency to take me around and to accomplish the most in a 1 week time frame.             

I called a few places from various ads in the paper and the one who the most attentive over the phone to my needs was Artzeinu    I went with them in 3 days to Masada, Ein Gedi, Yam Hamelech ( the dead sea – Swimming too ) Mitzpeh Yericho, a tour of the city of King David and a walking tour of many neighborhoods in the new Jerusalem ( such as Rachavia and Yemin Moshe ). We also went through the Kosel Tunnels and the walk through the Gichon and the water shaft in the city of King David and many other places within literally a few days.           

Because of there amazing prompt schedule we were always on the tours at the crack of dawn (meaning on time!!) and were able to accomplish a lot in a small time.        

Also since the groups are smaller than other companies the hands on knowledge of our tour guide was amazing. I would personally like to thank your entire crew and especially Reb Chaim Sidor the tour guide who is IHO an amazing fellow who has a vast knowledge of the history of the Land from Biblical times till now and brings to life the stones and walls and the entire State. He has devoted his life to living the Land and sharing the love and joy he has with others.         

I took the time to write this letter (after a 12 hour plane ride ) since Hakaras Hatov is something that means a lot to me.

Just came back to London and wanted to take the opportunity of thanking you for a most splendid and informative tour.  I have visited the Kotel many times have had a number of tours in the past and your tour was by far the best and most enjoyable.

Regards,      Max

I simply have to write to you after the exceptional tour my family and I had with Artzeinu Tours yesterday. The day tour of Masada, Ein Gedi and the Dead Sea, which I took with my parents and sister who were here visiting from Australia, was run very professionally and smoothly. Our guide, Chaim, was simply excellent – knowledgeable, courteous and spell-binding. The way he weaved his wealth of historical, Jewish and even scientific knowledge into the tour, made it come alive and we all walked away with a much greater understanding and appreciation for the areas we visited and Israel in general. I will definitely be recommending Artzeinu Tours to others looking for a fascinating and informative way to experience Israel. Thanks again.

Dear Artzeinu,

 We wanted to thank you for the tours you provided us during our stay in Eretz Yisroel. We had Reb Chaim Sidor for our tour guide for most of our tours and enjoyed every second of it. His knowledge and sense of humor keep our ears glued to him the whole time. Thank you again for making sure all of our tours worked out according to schedule. We will be recommending Artzeinu Tours to others looking for a fascinating experience in Eretz Yisroel. Thanks again. Yehuda and Sara

Thank you so much for five excellent tours.  They were everything we
 expected and more.  The tour guides were fabulous and we really enjoyed
ourselves.  IY"H we will come back next summer, again in August.  I was
 wondering if you might consider putting together a four day tour up north
 that would be both in-depth and not too rushed, giving people time to absorb
all that the north has to offer.  Thanks.

Thanks.  I enjoyed your book.  My daughter is already saying that next
summer when we come back we need to finish the Artzeinu tours that we
 missed!!

Dear Rivka,

Thank you very much for an enjoyable tour, It was excellent !!!

Our Israel Family Mission was a fantastic success with the help of you and your husband.  Judy and I and the entire entourage thank you.

I wanted to thank you for all of the help in the past few months with my family.

In addition, I just learned that the tour guide who led my yeshiva yesterday (Shapell's) is your Yeshaya. Please thank him for a wonderful tiyul and a really enjoyable presentation of the kedushat Eretz Yisrael!

I just came back on Monday, and i just wanted to thank you so much for all your help.

Kibbutz Lavi and the hot springs worked out GREAT!, WE REALLY HAD A GREAT TIME.

My neighbors went with Yeshaya last Sunday on the tunnel tour, and they enjoyed themselves very much.

Thank you so much for the book in honor of my Bar Mitzvah. I also want to thank you for taking care of the hotel arrangements for my Bar Mitzvah.

Thank you for your tours- we were impressed and pleased

I just wanted to thank you for setting us up with the jeep for the full day jeep ride last month.  It was so amazing and fantastic that my family can't stop talking about it...even now.  They all had a blast! Hands down, they all say it was the BEST part of the trip...even the Bar Mitzvah boy agrees!

The jeep driver is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable about the places he took us to, and his love for Israel is apparent in everything he says and does.  His love for our country was obviously contagious, as my whole family wants to go back again as soon as possible.

I will gladly recommend the Jeep Tour to all of my clients. (I love telling people about how much fun it is and how it's the only way to REALLY see the country).

Again, thanks for giving us this terrific guide. It was definitely worth switching our day from Wednesday to Thursday.

I must apologize. I never followed up with you when we got back from Israel in May, to tell you how wonderful our trip was. We had a fantastic time and our tours were most enjoyable and meaningful. I believe that our daughter Shira learned a lot from the trip and gained an experience that she never would have had in two weeks of school.

The one thing that really showed through our tour guides is their sincere love for Eretz Yisrael and their desire to show and educate others about its history, beauty and above-all, its Kedusha.

Thank you so much for putting us together with them. And thank you for the hotel arrangements and your efforts on our behalf to secure the best deal for us.

I have given your name to my sister and brother-in-law, Zeldie and Wayne who will be coming, IY"H, in December. I believe they want to try to arrange some private tours, maybe in conjunction with another family who will be there at the same time, with them. I B'virkat K'tiva Vachatima Tova

This is the first chance to thank you and your staff for making my trip with my daughter for her Bat Mitzvah so special. Your guides were amazing (especially Moishe). We had such a great time, even when the jeep driver was stuck in the mud. Everything worked out great making Rachel's trip was so  memorable.

I have recommended you to many people (even wrote an article in a local paper mentioning you). I couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you again.

I finished your book - it really helps to focus on what's important. I wish we had met.

The tours were FANTASTIC. It really gave us all a perspective of Eretz Yisroel that we otherwise could not have gotten. Our hearts are stirred...

B'ezras HaShem, we will meet....next time...

Yours truly,

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated the tours of Hevron and the Kotel that I took with you. I learned so much and Rabbi
Jacobs was so inspiring. Thanks for letting a non-Jew like myself go on these trips.

I would do it all again, if I come back. Please tell Rabbi Jacobs that Andy said hello and thank him for me

Again, it was wonderful to be with you.
