I would like to take this opportunity (belated as it is) to thank you, Ehud, Ahron, Shimon, and the rest of the group at Peerless for making my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah Israel tour an unforgettable experience. To take a group of 7 unfamiliar families, 38 people, ranging in age from six to eighty-something, mix in jet lag of different degrees (people from Montreal, Toronto, Western Canada, and Australia!), add in a hectic schedule, and unbelievable heat, and transform them to a cohesive group, touring a country with thousands of years of history, is an incredible undertaking that Ahron, and Shimon performed with the illusion of it being an effortless task (they even seemed to enjoy themselves).
The tours were all well organized, and Ahron had a wonderful knowledge of the countryside and the rich history involved, which he shared with us in an unobtrusive, friendly manner, welcoming all questions along the way. He kept us all on schedule without becoming intrusive to our enjoyment of the trip. He seemed to be able to instantly adapt to the varied needs of the group, yet keep everyone organized so not a beat was missed.
From the initial planning stages, right through the execution was flawless. Hotel check-ins were performed in advance to us arriving at the hotels. Numerous special requests from all the families were always accommodated without question or stress. In fact, no request was ever seen as a problem, and everything was done to ensure a great time was had by all.
Thanks again!
EXCELLENT TRIP EXCELLENT TRIP
Well, we are back and recovered from jet lag. I thought I would take a few minutes to give you some feedback on the trip.
First of all, we had a magnificent time. The family rated it a ’10 out of 10′, Zahavah loved her Bat Mitzvah and we all loved Israel and the tour. I want to raise some specific areas, mostly of praise, and pass on a few ideas.
1. You. You were terrific, responding quickly and efficiently, with good cheer and the right information. Thank you.
2. Our guide (Moshe) and driver (Nissan). Moshe was simply excellent. A very bright man with a wealth of knowledge and a fine narrative style, he was a pleasure, and organized things beautifully. Nissan was of good cheer and, not incidentally, one fine driver (which is useful on twisty, narrow roads).
3. The Ceremony. Was wonderful and moving. The Rabbi was a delight, striking the right balance that ensured we had the feeling of having a proper service and that each child felt special, while also capturing the spirit of adventure and fun. The party was lovely and the dinner at Decks a nice surprise. Our Bat Mitzvah felt very special.
That’s all for now. If I think of more i will write again. Mostly I want to thank you for organizing such a wonderful trip for us, and for all your personal attention to us.
Many thanks,
Just wanted to send a quick note to say that we had a great time touring Israel. Even though the itinerary was aggressive, and we would have liked to spend more time in places like Haifa and Tiberias, we realize that we can`t expect to see everything, in such a short time.
Danny the guide, was personable and knowledgeable. Overall, a terrific trip.
Regards

Hi Kathy,
We returned from Israel on August 18th but I haven’t had a chance to contact you because I’ve been scrambling to catch up at work. I just wanted to thank you and Peerless for the wonderful trip that you organized. We all had a fantastic time. The trip was so well organized and full of fantastic experiences – some of which we expected, others which were very surprising. The Rabbi was great and the ceremony was beautiful.
Special mention needs to go to our guide, who was phenomenal. Aharon was knowledgeable and funny. He truly made the trip memorable. I’d like to write a thank you to him as well. I was wondering if you had an email address for him or if you’d be able to forward a letter from me.
Thanks again,
Hi Kathy!
We recently booked our children’s Bar and Bat Mitzvah tour if Israel trip with Kathy at Peerless Travel. Wow, it was an incredible experience. Both my wife and I refer to the trip as being “perfect”, and we are generally hard to impress! From the organization and planing, to helping us with customizing add-ons to the main trip, to being available at a moments notice to answer any last minute questions we might have, Kathy and her team were more than helpful. As for the tour itself, it was a life changing event for the family – exactly what we had hoped for. While you can always try to book these things yourself, we found that the stress-free Peerless booked vacation was an unbeatable solution. I would definitely use Peerless again for an Israel trip or any other for that matter.
Thanks for the great work!
