We personalized a 5 day tour of Catholic Sites in Jerusalem Bethlehem Jordan River and Sea of Gallilee . Compass was informative, communicative, responsive, and flexible . Our tour guide Avi Ofek was amazing. He was personable and funny and extremely knowledgeable about not only the history but the New Testament and how it relates to the Old Testament and Jewish history . He was efficient yet not rushed to soak in the spiritual aspects properly . We felt safe and journeyed to Bethlehem without having to transfer out of his car. Our number one experience was 5 am mass IN THE TOMB at the Holy Sepulchre with a total of ten people allowed (due to space) and our family able to lead a reading and a responsorial section . ONCE IN A LIFETIME.

This was one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had! The travel agency did an outstanding job organizing every detail, everything was seamless from start to finish. Our tour guide, Enrique (un ché bien buena onda), made the experience even better with his knowledge, energy, and great attitude. The entire trip went incredibly smoothly, and I’m already thinking about coming back in a couple of years just to spend more time in Israel. I was truly happy with every aspect of the trip. Thank you, Benjamin, for putting together such an amazing experience!
My Mother and I had an amazing tour with Enrique. Even though my Mother is vision-impaired, mobility-impaired, and memory-impaired, Enrique made our experience extremely enjoyable. He assessed the level of her ability, then went above and beyond to provide an unforgettable, fun-filled, knowledge-filled, and adventurous experience of a lifetime.
Our experience with Compass Travel Israel was nothing short of extraordinary from start to finish. We traveled with them from November 16–30 as a family of seven with five children ranging in age from 9 to 22, and every single detail was handled with care, excellence, and thoughtfulness. From the very first email to the final day of touring, everything was seamless, personal, and deeply meaningful. A huge thank you to Benjamin and Ruben, who were an absolute pleasure to work with. Communication through email and WhatsApp was incredibly easy, and their response time was always quick, clear, and accommodating. Every question was handled with professionalism and genuine care. Our private guide Avi was hands-down one of the best guides we have ever had anywhere in the world. His knowledge of biblical truth, history, and culture is remarkable. At every stop, he went above and beyond to ensure we were fully taken care of. He was attentive to every need, incredibly patient with our children, and deeply passionate about what he teaches. We arrived as strangers but departed as family and each day was filled with laughter, meaningful conversation, and shared memories we will cherish forever. Avi truly brought Scripture and history to life in a way we will never forget. He even went the extra mile to secure special access for us, “pulling strings”as we like to say, to enter places most visitors never get to experience, including a mosque in the Old City of Jerusalem and the oceanic grottoes along the border near Lebanon, which stayed open just for us as they were closing for the day. Visiting the olive press mill and doing face mask. We can’t forget the caves where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered. These were once-in-a-lifetime moments we will forever treasure. All of our tours were private, and because there was very little tourist traffic during our stay, it was truly the perfect time to visit. There were no crowds, and it felt as though we had the holy sites almost entirely to ourselves. As a family traveling with children, we felt more than 100% safe everywhere we went in Israel. One especially moving experience was visiting the town of Sderot to view the Gaza lookout and memorial honoring the Jewish lives lost near the Gaza Strip. Despite its painful history, the town itself was beautiful, resilient, and full of life like all of Israel. Every place we visited was stunning. I want to strongly emphasize this for anyone considering a trip: Israel is SAFE to visit even during wartime. With the absence of crowds, this may be one of the best times in history to tour the country. The experience is more personal, more intimate, and more meaningful than ever. It truly felt like having the country to ourselves. Compass Travel Israel exceeded every expectation in service, safety, organization, and spiritual depth. We will cherish these memories forever and cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone seeking an authentic, secure, and life changing experience in Israel. With deepest gratitude, Smith Family
Everything began with Benjamin, who crafted a tour tailored to our needs and the number of days we wanted to spend in Israel. We requested a tour guide who spoke Spanish, and Enrique, who is passionate about history and his work, turned out to be the best guide we could have possibly wished for. Both Benjamin and Enrique did an outstanding job ensuring we had an unforgettable Israeli experience. Thank you, Benjamin and Enrique!
The logistics of the tour is amazing!! The tour was really great and included all the main places to visit, the hotels are located strategically to have a walk at night and have dinner. What we like the most was the explanations from the guides in our language, they really have a broad knowledge of all places. We absolutely recommend the tour!!
Our tour guide Enrique was so knowledgeable with history, he literally brought the Bible to life for us! We saw the Bible with our own eyes (and a little imagination). This trip was the trip of a lifetime and I would recommend this to anyone who loves Jesus and some hidden gems! I can’t say enough about our tour…It was AMAZING!! A HUGE thanks to Benjamin with Compass Travel, who helped me navigate some of the process and he was always in communication! These two are lovely! Couldn’t ask for better! Go to Israel and be Blessed and amazed!
The tours were absolutely amazing, extremely organized, the pick up and drop off were seamless, the Hotel accommodation was very good, the pickup and drop off from haifa port and also to the airport was on time. we saw all the important points we wanted to see, old city Jerusalem, Dead Sea, masada, Jericho, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Caesarea, Capernaum, Jordan river! All the important sights! If you needed to talk to the your coordinator they were very prompt to respond on WhatsApp and I had access 24/7 even on sabbath, I had Benjamin he was great at answering all my questions and organizing everything. I would absolutely use this tour company again and would recommend it to all my friends and family.
Compass Travel made it all easy, convenient, and truly an amazing experience for my husband and me who were first time travelers to Israel. The whole team of Compass Travel, from their contact person, Benjamin, to their drivers who met is at the airport and drove us back to the airport, were all efficient, professional, and most importantly very kind and accommodating to us. Will definitely recommend Compass Travel to our family and friends.
Tour arrangement was well managed. All the guides had good knowledge of the history. Would like to also thank all the bus drivers for driving us safely each day.
My mom and I went on our dream trip to the Holy Land. After months of researching, I found Compass. They answered all of my questions, were able to accommodate our needs and even helped me when the airline lost my luggage. Thank you so much for everything!
I loved the whole experience. Nothing is as I imagined. I was so surprised to see the great geographical differences - desert on one side and green agricultural slopes and flat land on the other. I loved Jerusalem, Tel Aviv is a bubbly city, but most of all I loved the north, Galilee. It was a fascinating journey from beginning to end. Somewhat expensive but worth it. Compass did a fantastic job at organizing this package. Absolutely no problems, everything worked like clockwork. People are friendly and kind, great drivers and the guides were very interesting. In fact I would recommend taking a guide. It was just a beautiful trip, one I will never forget.
Very well planned and our guide Abraham was very knowledgeable and we walked away with great wealth of new knowledge.
We went to many nice places. We are going home happy for this amazing experience. Nice guide and schedule.
This was certainly the best vacation ever! Saul, our tour guide is very knowledgeable, friendly and caring! He explained in detail every single place we visited! Thank you Compass Tour for an unforgettable experience and for making sure we had the BEST tour guide! Thank you Saul for the wonderful memories, that this family of 7, will treasure for ever!
Benjamin was great and on top of it al making sure our tour guides lickied us up on time and always stayed on top by texting us and being proactive about through the whole process.
Me and my family had a amazing time touring Jerusalem and surrounding religious areas. The most memorable part was visiting the old city and seeing where Jesus walked. Saul our tour guy was very accommodated to our two elderly relatives, his enthusiasm and knowledge is grand. You can tell he enjoys his profession. I would 100% recommend Compass Travel Israel !!
It was an amazing experience. Everything was very organized and the trip worked like clockwork. Saul was an incredible tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you compass tours as well for the great experience.
Great service by Benjamin! Cool, flexible and knowledgeable guide - Enrique! Great choice for our family and we got more than what we paid for.
Surprises! Actually, everything and everywhere we went to. We were in good company with our tour guide Avi who drove us to places of wonders.He was like our brother/ family while we're on vacation there- pleasant, caring, protective, responsible, funny and knowledgeable.... Thanks also to Boaz who picked and brought us back to the airport. Compass got great customer service and communication with them is not a problem.
Wow, just Wow! A wonderful trip to so many sites! Enrique and the Compass team were informative, responsive and always in good humor. Choose Compass for your touring, you won’t regret it!
It’s been a great vacation from start to end. Hassle free, and felt we’re important. Avi been given us his full attention, explained well about the place, and how it is related to history. Avi went beyond his job, his a friend and was a brother at times. Compass tours been excellent with our tour. I highly recommend them with my family and friends back in USA. I will definitely come back and call Compass Tours for another vacation!!!
We would like to give special thanks to Benjamin because since the beginning he was supportive and made an effective follow up on the tour step by step. My best recognition to our tour guide Saul "The guide" because
I had a great time on this trip I learned many new things thanks to our guide Saul Feldman gave me an unforgettable experience and more than a guide was also a friend to us
Today I have finished a magnificent experience of touring and knowing the Holy Land with your Enterprise, it has been magnificent as it has allowed us to do it in comfort, safety and in a relaxed, but serious Mood. The experience of doing it with Saul deserves to be highlighted in a special way, his experience, knowledge, willingness to solve doubts and problems that arise, gives peace of mind in the day to day. An affectionate greeting Marta Yochum
Because it was an excellent trip with a great guide Saul. He knew how to teach us with great wisdom all the places we visited. I take care of us and advised us at all times. He knew how to solve the problems that sometimes appeared. I will recommend my friends to Saul as a guide on their future travels. Thank you very much
We have enjoyed every day of the seven we have been. We have a special memory of Saul who passed on the whole story of every place we visited. Lovely person, friendly and with whom the trip became very pleasant.
Saul, on our first day in Jerusalem, with his pleasant and cordial welcome, changed the image not only of the impatient and annoying driver who greeted us at the airport, but also the concept of arrogance of fame enjoyed by Argentines in my country, because this learned, funny and hospitable character, showed us Israel as the best of the destinations in the whole world, with astonishment a while later confirm his qualities, when he suddenly appeared giving him a loving embrace, a young Spanish-speaking man, who enthusiastically referred to Saul as the best guide of Israel! And the gentlest and most pleasant person, “the best” told us, in the same way, another lady followed the group, without knowing the Spanish language, and in English told my daughters that she was attracted by the charming way in which our guide referred to us the descriptive and pleasant account of the journey... is that the facts have always spoken more than the words, so ... there is nothing left but to pay with love to whoever permanently gives it to us, Saul I baptized: puncticos Suspensivos, because careful to always leave a little history to our interpretation, so that we could conclude it ourselves with the visit to the place, it sowed interest for the subsequent events. Thank you for so many beautiful moments, thank you for everything we received from you
The experience that most touched and favorite is the visit to the holy tomb. In addition, Saul’s guidance and knowledge helped us better understand history.
It was a unique and unforgettable experience. Safety and professionalism in the Service provided. Saul, the guide and Ami, the driver were very friendly, respectful and helpful. Saul is an excellent guide very prepared.
It was a wonderful experience!! We had a great time with the guide Saul, always taking care of us and very attentive at all times. Saul explained every place we visited. He has charisma and he's very nice. Driver Ami was also generous, respectful and very helpful. He guided the vehicle very well and gave us security.
We had an excellent guide, his name Saul. We were guided with a lot of information. My favorite place to love Dead.
Excellent experience. I recommend the company the very good treatment. The city and the places where the excursions are given were what I expected. Super.
It was the best decision I made with my family to take the services of Compass Agency. I received Benjamin’s help from the requirements requested before, after my trip in addition to my complete itinerary. My guide Mr. Saul an excellent person with a lot of knowledge of history and biblical subject, plus a lot of patience and very excellent treatment. I recommend it.
Spanish: Thank you very much to Benjamin, Reuben, and Saul for making this trip an experience! Undoubtedly an unforgettable tour. This 7-day private tour met and exceeded my expectations. The program they offer is complete, with visits to temples, shrines, archaeological sites, markets, etc. Good selection of hotels and places to eat. Our guide Saul, on the other hand, a wonderful person, with a lot of energy and good humor but above all with a lot of knowledge about the history, culture and religion that make this country a unique place to visit and where you will be marveled with everything around you. English: Many thanks to Benjamin, Ruben and Saul for a memorable trip in Israel! This 7-day private tour package exceeded my expectations! It definitely is an unforgettable experience! You get to visit temples, sanctuaries, archaeologist places, markets, etc. The hotels are great, the rooms are clean and breakfast A+ Our tour guide Saul, is an amazing person, trust me, you won’t regret if you pick him as your guide - very enthusiastic but mostly very knowledgeable of the history, culture and religion of this country which makes it a unique place to visit.
I'm surprised to see some bad opinions but I think it's hard to look good with everyone. We did the tour staying half the time in Tel Aviv and half in Jerusalem. Ever since we arrived at Ben Gurion Airport, they were already waiting for us. And to leave us at the airport back, they stopped taking us at 2 in the morning and the manager arrived at the exact time. I think they fulfilled what they offered us so we were very satisfied. I felt a little weird because the contact with the Enterprise was through WhatsApp, but they were very efficient at coordinating everything.
