Amazing tour company Working with Shalom Stark and Shalom Israel Tours was a dream. They arranged everything in a professional and courteous manner, and got us great pricing on our trip. I have sent numerous people in large and small groups to Shalom over the last few years, and they've always raved about the experience. I would never plan a group trip to Israel without them.

I did a 15 day tour with Shalom Israel … I did a 15 day tour with Shalom Israel in May. The experience was at least 50% better than I expected. Everything from pick up at the airport to dropping back at the airport was very well organised. Our guide, Aaron, was extremely knowledgeable and obviously very passionate about his country. All bar one of the hotels were excellent. As a very nice touch a box of biscuits were waiting for me at the hotel on Erev Shabbat. I would highly recommend this company and I hope I am able to return to Israel and use their services again.

Fabulous private tour of Israel with Shalom We used Shalom Israel to book a private tour for four of us. Shalom helped us plan a fabulous itinerary, which we adjusted before and during our trip. From the moment we stepped off the plane, Shalom’s staff gave us VIP treatment. Someone met us at the gate and ushered us to the terminal and through customs, and saw us to the driver who took us to our hotel. The next day, we met our tour guide Shimon, who gave us a fascinating and informative 8-day tour of Israel from the coast to the Golan Heights to Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and Masada. Shimon adjusted the schedule daily to our needs and interests, and made sure that we learned a lot and had fun, fun, fun. Thanks to Shalom and Shimon, we experienced the trip of a lifetime! I will call them again for my next trip.

Yes and a slight no My daughter and I went on Shalom Tours My daughter and I went on Shalom Tours. The itinerary was excellent, and Shalom was very helpful in our communications before the tour. The guide had a great personality, but unfortunately, was inconsistent with issues of lateness in returning to the bus. One time, someone was late and he expressed his concern that the man was lost and went out searching for him. Another time, people got lost and were 15 minutes late getting back to bus and he yelled at them when they returned. Perhaps he is moody. Anyway, if he would have given out his cell number, as tour guides generally do, people who are lost can call him - but he never gave his number. We returned to the airport to fly home with the bus pickup Shalom arranged. Unfortunately, it was not enough time as there were long lines and we were not told that the VAT line before security does not deal with jewelry. After waiting there, we had to go through security (long line) then go to the VAT line inside for the jewelry purchases. Just made our flight. We should have been informed of this and offered an earlier pickup. I did write to him about that from home but never got a response. It was still a wonderful experience on the whole but I think the moodiness of the tour guide and the stressful airport return made a difference.

I have just had a series of emails from… I have just had a series of emails from this company. I expressed my opposition as an american to traveling in Israel. The representative has now called me mentally ill and gone on to use filthy epithets in response to my comments. I want to underline that I never contacted this company but they have gone on to write these vile attacks on me. I would think twice about dealing with such people.
