For those traveling alone and needing a roommate, we will do our best to pair you up with a roommate of the same sex.

Yes, but there is a significant fee for single occupancy. Single occupancy is an additional $1700 per person.

That will depend on your departure city. Please ensure you don’t have a long layover or too many stops. Those airfares are less expensive, but it makes for a long, tiring day before you arrive in Israel.

Yes, you will be greeted upon arriving at the hotel with all pertinent information regarding your stay.

The best thing to do is to check the weather online. Be sure to bring a light jacket and layer your clothes.

We will not know how many buses until after we have sign-ups. We can take up to 10 buses.

You will be responsible for two lunches, snacks, sodas, and any souvenirs you want to purchase. A good starting point would be $300-$500 cash, but remember you can also use your credit card. It all depends on your spending habits. You can purchase water on the bus for $1.00, so we advise you to bring dollar bills. You will also be able to order authentic Israeli jewelry, such as necklaces, rings, and money clips inscribed with your favorite scripture in Hebrew. The jeweler does take credit cards or cash.

Yes, definitely. Visa and MasterCard are easier to use than American Express. Most credit card companies have international fees, so check with your banking institution. Also, it’s best to alert your credit card company that you will be traveling internationally.

You need to contact your cell phone carrier. International calls are costly. However, many carriers have plans for international travel. Texting can be part of your plan, and it’s much cheaper to text than to make an international call. You must set up your international plan before departure.

The food is excellent! Fresh fruits and vegetables are at each meal with a variety of different types of foods.

No, all tips are included in the cost of the trip.

Pack all prescription medications in your carry-on luggage in case your check-in luggage is  delayed. Luggage does not get delayed often, but it is better to always have your prescriptions/medications with you.

Yes. For ladies that use curling irons, flat irons, etc., we suggest you purchase them with international dual voltage. You will still need the adaptor for these dual-voltage items but not the transformer. If you bring your computer, you will need the adaptor only as they are made to handle the dual voltage.

Absolutely! Bottled water will be available on each bus for $1 a bottle. It is important you stay hydrated on this trip!
