Exceed Expectations

Four key factors set Kenes Tours apart from other Israel & global Jewish travel providers

Decades of Travel Experience

After 60 years of planning and guiding trips in Israel and around the world, we understand the experiences that resonate with organizational groups and multi-generational families. We know the most passionate tour guides, the restaurants about which foodies rave, the most reliable and clean bus companies, and the hotels that consistently keep our guests comfortable. In addition to listening to your unique preferences and reviewing feedback from past clients, we visit, inspect, and maintain close relationships with each and every provider we recommend.

Custom Travel Plans

The Kenes team wants more than anything for your group to fall in love with your travel destination. Whether you want to hit first-timer hotspots, focus on high-tech, dive deep into Biblical history, eat and drink your way through the Holy Land, or embark on a high-adventure tour, you will experience the very best of what Israel has to offer. 80% of our staff live in Israel full-time and nurture the relationships we rely upon to deliver exceptional travel experiences. When planning travel outside of Israel, we collaborate with partners who share our same commitment to excellence.

Experience with Organizations & Families

Kenes Tours specializes in travel for organizations and multi-generational Jewish families. We understand the leadership, donor, and participant dynamics that accompany travel planning for your organization. In fact, several of our team members have worked for or served on boards of Jewish day schools, JCCs, synagogues, and Federations. When it comes to multi-generational family trips, we know how important it is to account for differences in age, interest, diet, and mobility. In either case, the more information you share with us, the better equipped we are to deliver the experience you want.

Deep Jewish and Historical Knowledge

Visiting Israel and global Jewish destinations with Kenes is more than just floating in the Dead Sea or walking through a synagogue in Spain. Your knowledgeable, passionate tour guide will wrap every experience with meaning and story so you gain a deep understanding of all you see and do. As a result, you’ll go home with lasting memories, new perspectives, and a strengthened understanding of Jewish history and culture.

Bat Mitzva Trip to Israel
— Jamie Richman of Cherry Hill, NJ

“The wondrous thing about working with Kenes Tours is that I went in looking for a travel agent and came out with a friend. From the beginning, when I mentioned Petra, the itinerary was mapped out efficiently, and I was accompanied throughout by a knowledgeable guide and driver.”

Trip to Jordan
— Carlos Sandoval

“We had a wonderful time on our tour around Israel and appreciate all of your team’s legwork beforehand and during our time there. From restaurant switching to getting us on the later Knesset tour, we are grateful for your responsiveness, availability, and kindness.”

Family Trip to Israel
— Jillian and Brad Bernstein

“I want to express my deep appreciation for all of your efforts. Not only did Max have a profoundly moving experience on the mission, but you also ensured he was safe and taken care of until his return to the US. What you do is so much more than trip-planning and logistics.”
