Kenes International Headquarters at Ben Gurion Airport, Israel

Our pride is in our staff, a group of dedicated people with true spirit of service who are sensitive to the needs of pilgrims and devoted to taking good care of our clients. It’s not just business with us. It’s a calling.

Here are ten additional reasons why you should choose Kenes Tours as your ground operator for group and individual tours:

• We will work with you, the rabbi, travel agent, family head or tour leader to customize a tour which is specific to your interests and budget.

• Whether your budget allows for a 5-star hotel in Jerusalem or little cabins on the south side of the Sea of Galilee, our size allows us to give you good value for your money. The expectations of your group will be exceeded.

• Our guides are hand-picked for their sensitivity, patience and flexibility. We choose only the most knowledgeable, who are well-versed in Judaism, Zionism, modern Israel, history and archeology. Your guide will bring the history of the emergence of the modern state of Israel to life for you and every member of your group so that your travel experience is so much more meaningful.

• We have many innovative and creative ideas for itineraries and venues for bar mitzvah / bat mitzvah and family celebrations. Our extensive network built up over forty years facilitates booking your events during the crowded summer months and in out-of-the-ordinary venues.

• Because of the many holidays in Israel, some sites are closed Friday, some Saturday, and some Sunday. Planning a tour in Israel requires extensive expertise and know-how. Kenes tours run smoothly.

• We use the latest model buses for your comfort. Our drivers are professional, cautious, courteous and helpful. Your safety and comfort are our prime concern.

• When you come to Israel, your group will be welcomed by our airport representative who has been with us for 25 years. She knows the airport procedures including security inside out, and is on a first name basis with airport staff who will facilitate a smooth arrival and departure.

• Kenes Tours office staff make a point of meeting every group personally during the tour. We touch base with your group by phone on a daily basis while you are in Israel.

• Whenever possible, we upgrade the tour host to a deluxe room or suite. Contact us for more information on tour hosts perks.

• We are regional experts and have excellent partners in Jordan, Egypt, Turkey and Greece. We offer one-stop travel service to our entire region. You pay only once for all your services.

We invite you to explore and discover your heritage and roots in this land of our forefathers. Our mission is to facilitate the logistical aspects so that your tour flows smoothly and without worry. As a result, your people will experience and treasure the experience of a lifetime.

Over forty years we have developed close personal relationships with our clients and we invite you to join our circle of friends in the Kenes Tours family.
