Global Jewish Travel

See the world through Jewish eyes

Widen Your Lens

For decades, Kenes Tours has helped travelers experience Israel in meaningful and unforgettable ways. Today, we’re inviting you to discover another dimension of the Jewish story.

Across Europe, Latin America, North Africa, and beyond, vibrant Jewish communities have shaped the history, culture, and character of remarkable destinations. From medieval synagogues and bustling Jewish neighborhoods to contemporary communities, local cuisine, art, and traditions, every destination offers a unique window into Jewish life—past and present.

Because travel isn’t just about seeing new places.

It’s about discovering the people, stories, and moments that stay with you long after you return home.

Community Journeys

Partner with a team that understands your travel goals and preferences

For more than four decades, Jewish Federations, synagogues, schools, foundations, missions, and community organizations have trusted Kenes Tours to design journeys that educate, inspire, and connect.

Every community is different. That’s why every itinerary begins with listening. Together, we create experiences that reflect your goals, your interests, and the unique character of your travelers—combining exceptional travel with meaningful encounters, expert local guides, and authentic connections to Jewish communities around the world.

Whether you’re planning a leadership mission, synagogue trip, educational experience, or donor journey, we’ll help you create an experience your participants will remember for years to come.

Private Journeys

Travel for Families, Couples & Small Groups

Some of life’s most meaningful journeys are the ones we share with the people closest to us.

Whether you’re planning a multigenerational family vacation, celebrating a milestone, traveling with close friends, or simply exploring the world as a couple, Kenes Tours creates personalized journeys designed entirely around you.

Our private itineraries combine extraordinary destinations with authentic Jewish experiences, exceptional local guides, four- and five-star accommodations, and the flexibility to travel at your own pace. Every journey is thoughtfully crafted to reflect your interests, your style of travel, and the experiences that matter most to you.

Because no two travelers are alike—and no two Kenes journeys should be either.

Every traveler begins with a different dream.

Some want to trace their family’s roots. Some are drawn to history, architecture, food, and wine. Others simply want to experience the world in a more meaningful way.

Whatever inspires you, we’ll help you discover the Jewish story woven into the places you visit—through local communities, remarkable people, unforgettable experiences, and moments that bring each destination to life.

Because the most memorable journeys aren’t measured only by the places we see.

They’re measured by the stories we bring home.

“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

Jewish heritage trip to Greece
— Liz Alderman from Beth El Synagogue in New Rochelle, NY

Kenes really offered the best tour for the best price and every pilgrim was happy, blessed, and satisfied seeing our dreams fulfilled as we walked where Jesus walked. 4-star hotels, professional tour guides, and special personal touches…Will definitely use them again.

Christian Tour Group

I highly recommend Kenes Tours to plan your group tour to Israel and Jordan. This is my first time using a destination management company for personal travel. It was well worth it to have all the details arranged including airport transfers, visa for entering Jordan, admissions fees, and many meals.

Sibling Trip

We were a group of 30+ ranging from middle school to 70-year-olds with varying degrees of mobility issues. Our guide Yoni was able to relate to everyone. Our bus driver Eli was fantastic. I highly recommend Kenes.
