Testimonials

Coral Travel is concerned about every person in the group – that she/he will experience Israel in ways that will be remembered for a life time. Great accommodations, great food, great sights with a great tour guide! I appreciated how Coral Travel designed the tour to our specifications and requests in a friendly manner. We all felt very safe and we were well taken care of.

The tour arrangements were excellent. We always appreciate how well organized things are from meeting at the airport to leaving Israel. Thank you (Coral Tours) for making it a great experience!!

Tour was amazing…guide was exceptional! The historical sites and overall experience of this tour will forever hold a special place in my heart. I hope to, one day soon, return with my husband and daughters. I would love them to have the same experience I had!

We returned home from Israel yesterday safely — but I can’t “complete” our trip without saying this: Thank you so, so, so, so much for everything! Truly, it was not only an AMAZING experience on so many levels, but the service we received from Coral and its affiliates was top-notch. Our assistance to and from the airports, our drivers, our hotel check-ins and accommodations, everything was first-class and we had absolutely zero issues or problems with anything! My husband and I are so grateful and thrilled with the service your company provided and we highly, highly, highly recommend Coral! Thank you for helping making our memorable trip to Israel so wonderful. God’s blessings to you and peace to Israel! Shalom!!!

Thank you so much for an amazing trip to Israel – wow! So much fun. Liat was an exceptional guide – smart, passionate leader, knowledgeable, ha ha and kept us very organized and “in-line.” The 16 members that were re-routed to Baku on the home-journey arrived safely and without incident to JFK. They were very grateful for the exceptional, worry-free care and Azerbaijan Airlines. omg – what an airline. So many benefits. Thanks again for taking such good care of us!

I cannot thank you enough as well as the whole team from Coral Tours for the trip to Israel. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe the kind of experience that we had. Every detail was organized with precision, efficiency and thoughtfulness. Most important of all, you were all part of a dream come true for most of us. I cannot wait for the next opportunity to travel with your team again.

I just wanted to write to express my sincere gratitude for the recent Israel tour and to commend you for organizing such an excellent tour. The tour was coordinated fantastically (no surprise that you held a senior position in military logistics) and I have the highest commendation and regard for the tour, yourself and your team! Thank you for your hard work and for your bespoke support for us coming from Australia. Your hard work and efforts we’re seen in the quality of the trip. We had Koren Eisner as our guide – he was amazing! I hope to go back soon. I will no doubt spread the word of how fantastic Israel is as a destination and will recommend Coral Tours. I am personally deeply thankful for your organizing the tour and for your support.

7 Nov 2013, Carol and I embarked on a fantastic trip of a lifetime for our 40th wedding anniversary. I personally met Col. Shalom Almog in Millburn, NJ at the tour office, and he assured me it would be something I would never forget. It was. This was the premier tour with both Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and WND CEO Joseph Farah, both gentlemen I met and the insight these two had in Israel was a blessing! Imagine coming to the land where my father was TDY 70 years ago as a WWII ferry pilot and said like Mark Twain that there was very little there, but he enjoyed the food as we also did. Israel is a hospitable place – built and rebuilt with super technology. Yes, the original sites have been wonderfully preserved and cared for by the Israeli people. The streets bustling with traffic and energetic people. The hotels filled with pilgrims and those making teshuva and aliyah, as both Carol and I are of Abraham’s seed. The food was kosher – no bacon, sausage, or pork bar-b-q, but was carefully seasoned and very enjoyable. Imagine breakfasts with egg quiches every day! Sour cream, tasty hummus, tahini, and various salads in 2 gallon punch bowls! Fine cheeses of American, German, and French origin and taste – breads to make a breakfast sandwich, fresh butter – an Israeli delight. Breakfast desserts available. Fresh ground coffee, tea, unlimited orange and grapefruit juice from a tap. Pure water – no chlorine! (If you want truly Holy Water, just turn on your tap and fill your bottle or canteen with rich-tasting water even with some minerals piped from the Yardenit (Jordan River). Simple, isn’t it! Dinner with Hebrew and Arabic specialties, including fresh tilapia! Jaffa oranges and grapefruit, even bananas abound. Hey folks – have you had an Israeli-Arabic hoagie, sub, zep, or po-boy? You could almost make one or better yet, order one made before your very eyes. It’s called shawarma. They alternate beef slices and lamb slices on a tall metal slice holder and cut so much off for about USD $5-8. On a regular 9-10″ sub roll plain – you are presented with that, but vinegar, mayo, tomatoes, lettuce-if available, “salad-toppings”, etc. are yours to garnish it. If your taste are somewhat veggie, there is falafel-like a thick hummus, seasoned and fried into a veggie burger and also on a tasty roll. Same fresh “salad seasonings”. Yep, American influence – Israeli originals. And this is just the food on the trip. Buses are very clean and seats are comfortable. Bus drivers are keen on watching your valuables accidentally left aboard, so no pilfering. Thanks, Immanuel (Mano). For one of the best tour guides, who has at least a bachelor’s degree, and born on Israeli Independence Day in May 1948, was Nimrod Ran, I believe. An outstanding leader, Nimrod served in the Israeli Army, is great in his historical knowledge of the land, and even personally knew the Dalai Lama in his studies in India earlier. You’d be surprised who you could “run into”. His humor was enjoyable. I recommended him to the Colonel as one of the top tour guides in Eretz Israel, as his expertise, watchfulness, and caring personally for the immediate safety for our group. For example – when we just arrived at Ben Gurion, he knew our names as if we’d known each other for years. When a short time later, we had been to a historical sight in Tel Aviv (Spring Hill) one of our couples had disappeared and was lost – within 25 minutes he located them and brought them back from a crowded area. Most guides would have let them go to get a taxi to find their way to the hotel – not Nimrod! Now that’s personal service! Everywhere we were, he was there watching for our safety, especially in Old (Arab) Jerusalem in the shuk! I hope to see him in the future. Not to speak of the Rabbi – his uncanny knowledge and quick response was impeccable! Whoa! God Blessed this young, musical Rabbi with the Word for the moment in speech or in musical song. Jonathan was also superb – “Instant in season, out of season.” Wish I could have met him and Gary Selman when I was stationed at McGuire earlier. Same with brother Joseph Farah – ace reporter and pundit with WND. What a trip! Holy places the Lord was, fine international foods, comfy 3-5 star hotels with very clean restrooms, etc. So it’s your choice. Go with a winner! Don’t just take my review – listen to the Colonel – “It’s something you’ll never forget!” I haven’t. Shalom.

(Our tour) …was absolutely wonderful and a definite highlight of my life! I knew early when I first learned about the trip that it was something that I was supposed to do, but I had no idea what a wonderful experience that God had planned to provide me! The accommodations provided by Shalom and Coral Tours could not have been better, Ron was the best tour guide and friend that a tourist could ever find (he should be named an Israeli Ambassador!), Jimmy was the best bus driver one could ever have (and his always available supply of cold bottled water was so greatly appreciated by all), and the leadership, teachings, care for our well-being, and support from both of you, Joe and Dee Dee (tour hosts), could not have been better! I was thoroughly blessed by each of your teachings at the various sites that they were a part of while touring. My experience was so life changing that I really do want to return to Israel in a few years for a second visit to see some additional Biblical sites from around Israel and to have a chance to spend more time seeing Jerusalem again. I can think of no other place I would rather go than to return to Israel to learn more about it.

Just returned from Israel with Jonathan Chan, amazing life changing adventure though the books of the Bible. I prayed to experience the word, instead I was transformed by the land of Israel in its beauty the healing presence of God. Coral Tours was outstanding, our Green Bus crew (you all know who you are) were outstanding. Mia, our guide became our friend and family. Thanks to Eli, our driver, who kept us safe and our bus filled with laughter. You’re the best. Shalom.

If I could give you a 10 Star ⭐️ I would. I just returned from the April 2018 tour with Johnathan Cahn and I can truly say it was not only amazing but a life changing experience which has blessed me as well as my sister who accompanied me to the trip! Memories, blessings and lifetime friendships. God bless you all for all that you did to make it such an impactful trip with unforgettable blessings and memories!

I wanted to write to say thank you so very much for the enormous effort, the planning and thought that yourself and your dedicated team went to, to bring us such amazing experiences while on our ‘Once In A Lifetime Pilgrimage To The Holy Land’. Every footstep, every moment was a great blessing and will continue to be more so as revelation continues to become alive when drawing from experiences while in the Holy Land. May GOD Richly Bless your life, your family and your ministry. In JESUS Holy Name, Julie Whyte.

Seamlessly overcoming any travel obstacle, Coral Tours went more than the extra mile to give us the experience of a lifetime! Well done and thank you for taking such good care of us.

So how does one describe so rich an experience in a few words? As a bride from the East [India] with my groom from the west [US], this pilgrimage was like an Eastern wedding feast; several days of festivities with a large family gathered to celebrate… Something old: we walked in the paths of the patriarchs, from ancient gates to time tested fortresses [Masada]. We ate food much like the matriarchs fed their households. Slept in a tent under the stars, rode camels, visited cities where Yeshua ministered and ushered in Shabbat while sailing the Galilee. Praised in Ein Gedi where some of David’s psalms were inspired. We received the ancient blessing on the Temple Mount, walked the path of the priests & climbed the Southern steps proclaiming verses from the Psalms of ascent. Something new: a jeep ride in the Golan Heights, enjoyed a natural spa! at Gideon’s Springs, planted trees [in this New Year of the Trees 2018]. Renewed wedding vows under the olive trees, in Cana. We also re-lived some Biblical moments with pouring rain in Carmel and being thrown out of an ancient synagogue! Rejoiced at the empty Garden Tomb and celebrated a candle light communion in the Garden of Gethsemane. Visited Independence Hall where the historic announcement was made of the Nation-prophetically-born in a day. Significantly, we celebrate Israel’s 70th birthday in a year ending in 18, the number of life [chai]. Something borrowed: the precious family time that our gracious host, Rabbi JC [interesting initials!] invested in us. An insightful teacher steeped in humility, Rabbi Jonathan lived, walked and broke bread with us daily. A guitar strumming worship leader too…if he ever builds the Beth Israel Kibbutz, we are moving in!! And Guy Leibovitz, wow! Our guide was the crème de la crème. A goldmine of knowledge, he stirred our hearts as he shared the historic reality of the Bible, with a passion for his land, people and heritage [a personal favorite being the story of his beloved grandmother and her rope burn scars]. And Eli, the skilled, seasoned steersman of our bus and provider of the ever-welcome bottle of water. Thank you! to each of you and to your family’s for sacrificing their quality time-with you-so that we could become better educated Ambassadors of Eretz Israel. And finally, Something blue; the blue-ribbon par excellence goes to CORAL TOURS! From the moment Irit greeted us with a warm, ‘welcome home’ to the grand farewell banquet, their staff displayed seamless finesse in handling the logistics. Especially, given such a large group of often tired, hungry and diverse people. Having been on previous tours with other tour groups-our Israel Spring 2018 Pilgrimage, led by a Divinely orchestrated tag team of Rabbi Jonathan and Guy Leibovitz- was UNPARALLELED! Rabbi and Guy have provided us the evidence-Biblical and historic- which demands a verdict from each of us, as when Christ asked His disciples, ‘Who do YOU say that I AM?’ So as Guy would say, “you guys” it is time to sign up for next year in Jerusalem!!

Roni our guide was awesome, he made the tour. My group was so impressed they want to return to the land [Israel] with me. Every issue or problem that arose was taken care of immediately. Thank you for taking care of my people so well!
