点评:After two cancellations due to unrest in Israel, we just completed a spectacular trip to Israel arranged by Michele Cypes and Hadar Shteinbuk at Kenes. There were absolutely no security issues with our travel, and we felt safer in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem than we do in most US cities. Our guide Eyal Machal was phenomenal and honored any request that we had. He was always prompt and had a wealth of historical knowledge specific to all the places that we visited. Michele kept a watchful eye on our daily schedule and when Eyal's car had the unfortunate occurrence of two flat tires, somehow Michele had another excellent guide pick us up for several hours, so there was no interruption of our itinerary, and Eyal was able to find someone to get a second spare tire and reunite with us later in the day.
After visiting Tel Aviv, Jaffa and the Sea of Galilee, we travelled on to Jerusalem with side trips to the West Bank cities of Bethlehem and Jericho with separate guides who were also wonderful, especially Lahdo Shio in Bethlehem. The hotels and recommended restaurants were top notch. We highly recommend visiting Israel now or in the near future and to use Kenes to arrange the trip.
翻译:由于以色列局势动荡,我们的行程被迫取消了两次。最终,我们完成了由Kenes旅行社的Michele Cypes和Hadar Shteinbuk安排的精彩以色列之旅。旅途中没有任何安全问题,我们在特拉维夫和耶路撒冷的感受甚至比在美国大多数城市还要安全。我们的导游Eyal Machal非常出色,满足了我们的所有要求。他总是准时到达,并且对我们参观的每个地方的历史都了如指掌。Michele密切关注着我们的每日行程安排。当Eyal的车不幸爆胎时,Michele设法安排了另一位优秀的导游接我们几个小时,确保我们的行程没有中断。Eyal也设法找到了人帮我们找到了第二个备胎,并在当天晚些时候与我们汇合。
游览完特拉维夫、雅法和加利利海之后,我们前往耶路撒冷,途中还去了西岸的伯利恒和杰里科,分别由不同的导游带领,他们都非常出色,尤其是在伯利恒的拉赫多·希奥 (Lahdo Shio)。酒店和推荐的餐厅都非常棒。我们强烈推荐现在或不久的将来去以色列旅行,并建议通过 Kenes 安排行程。
