Our Adults Only Tour Just Returned!

We are so thrilled that our first tour to go to Israel since the beginning of the pandemic had such a marvelous experience. They were an amazing group of people! Here is just one of the notes we received:

We just returned from a truly comprehensive two-week tour of Israel with Israel Discovery Tours. Our tour was five stars all the way! From the staff helping us with the covid requirements to fly, to our so knowledgeable guide and driver, the high-end hotels and the wonderful itinerary, there wasn’t a stone left unturned. We were treated so special by everyone in Israel as they were so happy to have tourists back. Everyone we encountered couldn’t have been more gracious. We were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable all the accommodations were. Every detail to our tour went smoothly without one glitch. Israel is OPEN and ready for tourists and there’s no better tour company to go with than Israel Discover Tours. Suzanne  & Steven- Hallandale Beach, FL

Welcome Home!

We’re thrilled to announce that as of Nov. 1, 2021, Israel is open for individual and group tourism.

Under the previous “permitted group” program we were able to send our Oct 25, 2021 Adults Only tour.

The group has been touring the whole country and as you can see from the pictures – having a fantastic time. They’ve been able to see and do everything on our comprehensive itinerary including Jerusalem, the Dead Sea/Masada, Eilat, The North and Tel Aviv.

We’re even hearing from our passengers during the tour:

I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how happy we are with this tour. We are having fun and a learning experience at the same time. Israel is such an amazing country and IDT is such a wonderful company. Thank you for going the extra yard for us. The first trip since COVID. Everybody we encountered is very careful about COVID. Wishing you continued success!   Harry & Joy, FL

For 30 years Israel Discovery Tours has been dedicated to providing our passengers exceptional service and an amazing Israel experience. We are committed to these principles and even more so during these challenging times. Our passenger’s comfort and safety remain our top priority

The last two years have been difficult, but Israel and Israel Discovery Tours are now ready to welcome you home!

Happy Passover!

It’s hard to believe it’s already Pesach and over a year into the pandemic – but we do have an important update from the Israel Ministry of Tourism:

“Not surprising, Israel is emerging as a leader in the efforts to vaccinate. As of today, 60% of the population has received at least one dose of the vaccine and 50% of the population is fully vaccinated. This is very encouraging and great news as we look to travel to resume. While we do not currently have a definitive date or guidelines for opening, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Tourism are working hard on the next steps of travel.  We are hopeful that sometime in June the first tourists will be back in Israel. Regarding the guidelines of opening, we expect further information after Passover. Currently the Ministries of Health and Tourism are gathering information to make decisions on the safest way to open.”

Israel Discovery Tours is looking forward to start sending passengers as soon as Israel is open. We have many reservations for our Fall Adult tours and our Family Bar-Bat Mitzvah December tours are very heavily booked already. We think it’s going to be an extremely busy end of the year!!

COVID19 Update

We are excited to see that the first steps in opening the economy for Israel are beginning.  Israel is starting the initial stages to lift their quarantine. They have recently released the guidelines for lifting restrictions and starting to return to a new normal.  As domestic travel resumes the Israel Ministry Of Tourism is building the foundations to welcome international travelers as well.  The Deep Knowledge Group, has named Israel the #1 country in their Covid-19 safety rankingmaking it an ideal destination to visit once we can travel again. While we do not know yet when Israel will open their borders to international travelers we can say with confidence when it does, Israel will be ready to welcome all our passengers.

As Israel starts to move towards a “new normal” when it comes to travelers, it is clear that social distancing and sanitation will play a big role in all of their travel decisions, including destination, hotel and airline choice. Though they will be taking these precautions, we still are confident that people will begin to resume travel with enthusiasm while doing it in a safe way. Israel is working to adapt to a new standard of travel that includes these social distancing and sanitation protocols, which include timed entries, contactless payments at top tourist destinations and new check in procedures.

The Israel Ministry of Tourism is working on our complete international reopening strategy, which will be announced soon.

Our tours for the Fall and Winter of 2020 are still on schedule to proceed as planned pending further directives from the government of Israel

Israel Discovery Tours Summer 2015

It’s hard to believe that Summer has ended and Fall is upon us. Our final Family/Bar-Bat Mitzvah tour of the summer season returned home on August 31st. Since then the calls have not stopped coming in from our passengers and their friends they have referred to us for future tours to Israel. This tour was comprised of families from all across American and Canada. They met in Israel as strangers but are now one large family bonded by their shared experiences on our Israel tour.
