Israel Luxury Trip Review: Diving in the Red Sea, Tel Avis, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Local Culture, History & Wine

The planning was effortless. Our travel planner worked well with  me and completed a;ll tasks in a reasonable time. His selection of a guide for my family was right on! Our guide became part of the group from his first " Hello, my name *** and I will be you tour guide." And by the last time we heard,  " Hello, my name *** and I will be you tour guide.", he was part of the family.  
I can not say enough, our guide's knowledge of Israeli history took us beyond the history books and encompassed how the history encompassed daily life in Israel.  He was able to give my family multiple and diverse outlooks and opinions  from Ultra Orthodoxy to  non-religious and non Jewish groups In Israel. This was so helpful in understanding today's Israel.
Our guide was not rigid on our tour and fortunately, got to know our family as we are. This caused us to divert from our scheduled tours and timing. Yet , his knowledge of Israeli history and geography allowed us to see and experience a uniqueness that would not have been possible if we stuck to the planned itinerary. Yes, we sa everything we were suppose to see but in a much more interactive and expanded way.
We found that our guide did not just show us Israel as a historic site but as his beloved home in which were visitors.
Our guide started out as our guide became our friend and ended as part of the family. We could not ask for more.
We hope our relationship continues and we will visit again.
