What people love about Israel Tours for Seniors
- Jewish Israel Tour Package, 5 Days
Everything from beginning to end was fantastic.The guides were amazing and the only negative was that it had to end.
All the guides were informative and friendly. A special thanks to Chaya who helped us meet up with a relative in Akko at lunch. Would have preferred to tour the chocolate factory at the kibbutz we stayed at, and to have had the option of visiting the bird migrating place we drove past. Well organized. Enough time at each place. Suggestions of great museums on our free days would have been appreciated as well but the hotel staffs were all so helpful. We liked all the hotels but saw no advantage about being dropped off at a kibbutz hotel with a closed chocolate factory and signs inviting us to enter and taste.

Key attractions including the Western Wall and Church of the Holy Sepulchre provide wheelchair access and ramps.

Several hotels cater specifically to accessibility needs such as the Leonardo Plaza in Jerusalem which provides easy access to major sites.

Most senior tours use 3-4 star hotels that come equipped with essential amenities like elevators air conditioning and private bathrooms.

Guides carry first aid supplies and maintain knowledge of the closest medical facilities throughout the journey.
What is the ideal group size for senior tours in Israel?
