GBOur son’s Bar Mitzvah Tour through IBMT… Our son’s Bar Mitzvah Tour through IBMT was perfect!!! The tour guide was incredible, the itinerary was everything we could have hoped for and the Bar Mitzvah was magical. Ornan was a pleasure to work with.

CAIt was the trip of a life time It was the trip of a life time and Gadi Dahan was one of the best tour guides I have ever had and this was my 5th time to Israel. The trip was very well organized and the itinerary included a great mix of historical, museums, archeology and fun.

CAGreat tour with potential to be even better Fun tour. Excellent guides. Great highlight of the country and history with a good mix of kid- friendly activities (kids really bonded by the end of the trip). Would value having a welcome gathering for everyone (not just bar mitzvah kids) on the tour. Would be best to do one at the start of the tour (morning/ day after arrival). With 2 buses and approx. 60 people on the tour, it is a shame we didn't meet many of the others until the last day of the trip. Would be great also to have a list of other group members before the tour even started so connections could have been made earlier. The food was delicious and accommodations good. Having live Israeli music at some part of the trip would be a wonderful addition, plus would like dinners to be less rushed (not so mass market feeling). Also think each family on tour-- or at least bar mitzvah kids --should be provided (no fee) with a bag of mud at the dead sea. All in all a strong 4- star trip, with some more attention to detail/ tweaking could be even better!

CAIBMT - Incredible experience and memories to cherish forever!!!! Israel Bar Mitzvah Tours (IBMT) was an incredible experience. Every detail was so well planned. The accommodations were incredible and the amount of activities and sights we were able to see in 12 days was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a more exceptional tour Guide (Gadi D.) and bus driver (Avi). It truly was an amazing experience!!

CAOur second time with IBMT and it was fabulous again! This was our second time doing the Israel Bar Mitzvah Tour with IBMT. And once again it was a fabulous itinerary with many new additions from four years ago that only added to the our enjoyment. A wonderful mix of religious/historical sites and fun/relaxing excursions that provide a great balance to jam packed days. The ceremony on Masada is truly special and the party at Abraham's Tent with camel rides, drums and dancing is a really great way to celebrate. Walking tours through all the different food markets and getting to sample the local foods was a great addition. Thank you IBMT for another memorable experience for my family.
