Our Happy Clients

We recently returned from our son’s bar mitzvah tour and we already can’t wait to go back! Our tour guide Aharon knew every detail about Israel inside and out, and every local guide (from Yad Vashem to the Lebanese border to the Archaeological Dig) was just phenomenal. The hotels were great! Kfar Bloom on the kibbutz was on the more rustic side but still very cool. The Orient in Jerusalem was my favorite with THE most amazing breakfasts. To top it all off, we met such wonderful people on our tour. By the end of the trip the kids were all close friends (as were the adults!) For those bringing grandparents there are some things they will want to sit out (especially if you go in the summer when it can be extremely hot. Make sure they drink a lot of water!) I’d also suggest adding a few extra days in Tel Aviv to enjoy the city on your own. (The beaches and restaurants are incredible!) Thank you to Elite and Eliana at Peerless Travel for an experience our family will remember forever.

Sharon Ronel and family

We returned from Israel on August 18th but I haven’t had a chance to contact you because I’ve been scrambling to catch up at work. I just wanted to thank you and Peerless for the wonderful trip that you organized. We all had a fantastic time. The trip was so well organized and full of fantastic experiences – some of which we expected, others which were very surprising. The Rabbi was great and the ceremony was beautiful. Special mention needs to go to our guide, who was phenomenal. Aharon was knowledgeable and funny. He truly made the trip memorable. I’d like to write a thank you to him as well. I was wondering if you had an email address for him or if you’d be able to forward a letter from me. Thanks again,

Absolutely perfect in EVERY way possible!! I went with my 2 grandchildren and we had a blast with the other families. The food and hotels were outstanding and the itinerary just right for both adults and kids. The Bar Mitzvah itself brought tears of pride in such a memorable venue, and the celebration felt like a real Bar Mitzvah party should be….So much fun and we all felt like one family. I highly recommend this tour, this company and the entire staff, if you are looking for a wonderful life changing experience , for all of you!

We recently returned from our family vacation in Israel. Our experience with our travel consultant Eliana Yakobovits couldn't have been better! All the way from the initial discussions, through to the detailed planning, and during the trip itself, Eli was incredibly professional, organized, knowledgeable, approachable and overall a true pleasure to deal with! I recommend Eli for anyone's travel to Israel and I look forward to our next trip there!

Michelle and Family

As we approach the halfway mark in our trip I wanted to reach out to thank you for the most amazing experience!! Everything has been spectacular so far. The hotels, the guide and driver, the itinerary and the people are amazing! We are all getting along so well, the kids have made instant friends and we are loving every second of this trip. Thank you!!

The tour was a great success and the experience was marvelous for our family. The daily visits and activities were enjoyable and educational for both the Bar/Bat Mitzvah kids and I believe for their families as well. The Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony was organized beautifully and having it on Masada added special importance. Aaron, our tour guide, was very professional and his knowledge of the Israeli history and country was excellent.

The Shriqui Family

We just wanted to sincerely thank you and your colleagues for the trip of a lifetime. It was spiritual, meaningful, educational and just a ton of fun. Everything from the magnificent quality of our guide (Shmulik, about whom not enough can be said) to the first-rate accommodations and meals made this an awesome experience. We also shared the trip with a diverse and warm group of people that we now consider close friends. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our son’s Bar Mitzvah. Thanks to you and your Team for your superb organizational skills and ‎creativity in allowing us to see our Homeland in the best way possible. Sincerely,

Just wanted to express our family's appreciation for a terrific trip to Israel that you organized at Peerless for our grandson Harry Sahlit's Bar Mitzvah. It was a wonderful experience for all concerned. The Bar Mitzvah ceremony on Masada was very moving and the whole trip was most enjoyable. We had a great time! It was an unforgettable experience that we shall always remember. Best regards,

Eliana Yakabovitz planned our trip “par excellence”. Every day was filled with fun and interesting experiences for both my husband and me as well as our 13 year old grandson. She made arrangements for a terrific guide who saw to all our needs and was most knowledgeable about the places we visited. Although we have been to Israel many times, we always learn something new. This was the second trip we have done with Eliana and would not hesitate to have her help us us again.

We are home and I wanted to let you know we had a fabulous trip. The tours were great and so informative. I fell in love with Israel and of course I was so sad it took me so long to get there. The hotels were also wonderful. Our favourites were the Sheraton in Tel Aviv the Dan Carmel and David Citadel. In all cases the staff rooms and views were wonderful. Petra was a must see and a definite highlight. All around 5 stars for everything from Rooms to food to general experience we loved it! The transfers from one hotel to the next were seamless as were the flights and the assistance at the airport on our departing trip from Tel Aviv to Rome.Excellent job.

Daniel Frajman

Thank you again for encouraging us to go on the trip. Our son Michael did indeed read from Exodus during the Bar Mitzvah & Bat Mitzvah cermony, which was most memorable, as was the entire trip. I wanted to underline to you that our guide Neil Eisenstadt was excellent (very informative, knowledgeable and friendly), and we thank you for this. Regards,

Howie Goldfinger

Just wanted to send a quick note to say that we had a great time touring Israel. Even though the itinerary was aggressive, and we would have liked to spend more time in places like Haifa and Tiberias, we realize that we can`t expect to see everything, in such a short time. Danny the guide, was personable and knowledgeable. Overall, a terrific trip. Regards

Thank you to Peerless, Yahaloma and all the Families who helped make this experience so wonderful!!! I have a digital mountain of video and photo files to help keep these memories close to my heart and am looking forward to sharing and in turn seeing all of your precious images. I believe that Shea Faigan was interested in hosting a file sharing site for this purpose and will leave that to him (He won the privilege in a scrabble game). Just a few pictures with this email, I will try to send a short video clip in a separate email. Cheers,

Bruce & Nancy

We recently booked our children’s Bar and Bat Mitzvah tour if Israel trip with Kathy at Peerless Travel. Wow, it was an incredible experience. Both my wife and I refer to the trip as being “perfect”, and we are generally hard to impress! From the organization and planing, to helping us with customizing add-ons to the main trip, to being available at a moments notice to answer any last minute questions we might have, Kathy and her team were more than helpful. As for the tour itself, it was a life changing event for the family – exactly what we had hoped for. While you can always try to book these things yourself, we found that the stress-free Peerless booked vacation was an unbeatable solution. I would definitely use Peerless again for an Israel trip or any other for that matter. Thanks for the great work!

Celyne Hardy

I wanted to take a moment and thank you and Naomi for organizing our trip to Israel this July. My whole family and I unanimously agree that it was the most incredible trip we have ever taken! Israel is something to see. I can clearly see how one falls in love with the country and the people. We were so proud of what our nation could accomplish in such a short time. We experienced so much in 10 days. The archeological dig was amazing, the kids loved the camel and donkey rides, kayaking was thrilling, the moments at the wall were so moving, Masada was breathtaking at Dawn. There is so much to remember. Every day was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip. We laughed, we cried at times, it was quite emotional. Please accept my deepest thanks for helping us organize such an unforgettable trip. It will stay in all of our hearts forever. Warmest Regards,.

Pam Frank and the whole Belfer/Frank family

I wanted to spend a moment and thank you and Peerless for a trip of a lifetime! We had high hopes for our Bat Mitzvah trip to Israel and the trip exceeded our expectations. The itinerary was expertly put together and as we travelled the countryside we learned and appreciated different things about Israel. This all culminated in an inspiring Bat Mitzvah service atop Masada at sunrise. Our tour guide Shmulik was beyond fantastic and we would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful family Bat Mitzvah experience in our Holy Land (with great hotels and food to boot). Thanks again for everything and we will be sure to tell all our friends!

Jill Weinstein

The food was outstanding, the hotels were great and our guide Smulich was so fantastic. Knowledgeable, thorough and so funny. This was my fifth trip to Israel and the first time for my children. I felt I was seeing the country again for the first time and this time I appreciated it so much more than when I first toured at the age of 17. I cannot say enough about how great everything was and I felt safe everywhere we went. I want to thank you for all your help and Peerless for planning a wonderful itinerary.

We had a wonderful time on our Israel Bar/Bat Mitzvah tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and managed to do so much with us in the short time we had together, very organized. If only the trip could have been longer :). We miss it already!

Wonderful Family Experience

In late August our family; grandparents, parents and children, spent two wonderful weeks in Israel with arrangements made by Via Sabra. The demographics of our family group was quite diverse with children ages 7-13, adults and seniors; many being ‘first time’ Israel visitors.

Janet and Miar from Via Sabra worked closely with us to plan a wonderful itinerary which took into account the full range of ages in our group. With their assistance, we planned an itinerary in which some days were packed with exciting adventures and exploration while others were more relaxed as we took a step back to catch our breath. The balance was perfect.

We had a private bus with our own guide Ronen, who could not have been more knowledgeable, friendly and fun. He connected with everyone in our group, from the oldest to the youngest; and quickly felt like a member of the family. It was a very sad parting when our trip came to an end.

We have friends who also planned a family Israel trip with only glowing compliments for Via Sabra. We all agreed we must and will return and would certainly use Via Sabra again!

Ultimate Guide to Plan Your Family Trip To Israel

Israel has so much to offer, from ancient history, rich culture, nature reserves, and stunning desert landscapes to vibrant restaurants and cafes. Israel is a wonderful country to visit with kids as it is extremely child-friendly, with many places like restaurants and museums offering fun and interactive activities for little ones.

Many visitors think of Israel as a place just for religious tourism, but there’s so much more beyond that to appeal to families with children of every age.

You can take your kids to the beach, hike lush nature reserves, explore ancient grottoes, jump into inviting cave pools, taste and smell the food at open-air markets, ride on camels in the desert, and much more.

You’ll find so much to do in Israel to keep the kids happy. In this guide to visiting Israel with kids, we’re going to break down all the important things you’ll want to know about Israel when planning your trip.

When To Visit Israel with Kids

What are the major highlights of israel, how to travel around israel with kids, how long do you need in israel with kids, package holiday to israel vs self-guided, visa and entry information for israel, safety in israel, travel insurance for israel, currency in israel, language in israel, what to pack for israel.

Israel has different microclimates, and you can visit year-round. However, generally, the best time of the year to visit for optimal weather is April & May and September & October .

But that doesn’t mean you can’t visit outside those months – you absolutely can! While summer may not be an ideal time for a whole country tour (the south has extremely high summer temperatures), the weather in Tel Aviv is perfect for those who love hot sunny summer days on the beach. You can even visit the Dead Sea in the prime of summer – while it will be hot, it won’t be unbearably so.

The winter months of November to March are the coldest, with snow even reaching Golan Heights and occasional snowfall in Jerusalem. You will get rainfall along the coast in winter, though it will still be pleasant in areas such as Eilat on the Red Sea.

When visiting Israel, be aware of the Sabbath (the Jewish day of rest) from Friday 3:00 PM to Saturday 9:00 PM. And also, research your dates before you book your trip to check for Jewish holidays. Shops, restaurants and public transport will close down early on the Sabbath and on the eve of the holiday and re-open the next evening or the day after.

When you plan your trip to Israel, it’s important to know when the major holidays are – whether you want to celebrate them on your trip or avoid them!

You can see our complete guide to all the best times to visit Israel and religious occasions to be aware of here

Israel is more than just its major cities of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and more than just religious sites. You can plan a family tour of Israel that includes hiking in nature reserves, wildlife watching, archaeological tours, wine tasting at vineyards, exploring the desert, and relaxing on beaches.

If you are doing a full country tour of Israel with kids, you’ll probably start with the major cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and then head to northern Israel or southern Israel, depending on your chosen itinerary.

Tel Aviv has the country’s only international airport, and many travellers to Israel start their country tour here. Tel Aviv is a lively and youthful city with an incredible restaurant scene, wonderful shopping, pumping nightlife, fascinating history, and beautiful golden beaches.

Popular attractions are Carmel Market, the old city at Jaffa, Bauhaus architecture, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Many families use Tel Aviv (or Jerusalem) as a base for day trips around the country.

Just under an hour’s drive away from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem is, without a doubt, one of the most fascinating destinations in the country. It is the cultural capital of Israel and the official one.

Popular sights include the Old City with its four distinct sectors, the famous Machane Yehuda Market, the City of David, the Israel Museum with its Dead Sea scrolls, and the Ein Yael Museum.

Northern Israel (north of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem):

Haifa is Israel’s third-largest city and is best known for the Bahá’í Gardens. Located along the Mediterranean Sea, Haifa has gorgeous sandy beaches and a happening nightlife. Located an hour’s drive north of Tel Aviv you can easily reach Haifa by car, bus or train.

Also in Haifa is the Cave of Elijah, a Jewish pilgrimage site where the prophet Elijah was said to have taken shelter; Mount Carmel National Park, which is the largest national park in Israel and a protected UNESCO biosphere reserve; and the Stella Maris Monastery, one of the oldest abbeys in the world, dating back to 1291 A.D.

Caesarea was a port city erected by Herod the Great in 21 B.C. and is one of Israel’s most impressive archaeological sites. It is located halfway between Tel Aviv and Haifa and has one of the largest Roman amphitheatres ever built, Roman baths, a hippodrome, and an aqueduct.

Akko (also known as Acre) is a 4000-year-old city located on the coast of the Mediterranean north of Haifa. It has pretty cobbled-stone streets, colourful open-air markets, and a fishing port. The hummus served here is supposedly one of the best in the country!

Here you can see the remains of an ancient Crusader town. As well as walls, mosques, and baths from the Ottoman period, explore an underground Templar tunnel built in 1187.

Rosh HaNikra

North of Akko are the breathtaking grottos of Rosh HaNikra. One of the most famous sites in Israel for its absolutely stunning naturally formed sandstone gorges, cave pools, and picture-perfect waterfalls. You can ride a cable car to the top and take in the gorgeous views of the sparkling Mediterranean waters below.

Nazareth is believed to be the childhood home of Jesus Christ. Most tourists start by visiting the Church of the Annunciation, built upon the site where the Archangel Gabriel announced the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary. It’s also worth meandering around the Old City and the old suk (open-air market).

Sea of Galilee

The Sea of Galilee is where Jesus is said to have calmed the sea and walked on the water. Located on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee is the resort town of Tiberias, named after the Roman emperor Tiberius and settled more than 2,000 years ago. A mile south of Tiberias is the famous hot springs of Hammat Tiberias .

Zichron Ya’akov

For those interested in touring wine vineyards, Zichron Ya’akov is home to about 12 wineries where you can do winery tours and taste the wines. Located in the picturesque countryside of Mount Carmel, Zichron Ya’akov has a lovely main street lined with cafes, restaurants, and artsy stores.

Southern Israel (south of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem):

One of the best things to do in Israel with kids is to visit the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea (actually a lake) is the lowest point on Earth, and you can experience the weightlessness of its salty water and coat yourself and the kids in the warm thick mud (make sure to choose a beach that also has sea mud!).

The Dead Sea minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are renowned for their healing properties. Be careful with younger children as any small cuts will sting badly when swimming in the salty water.

Masada is a UNESCO world heritage site atop a mountain that overlooks the Dead Sea. You can hike up the mountain (about 40 minutes) via the winding “Snake Path” or take the cable car to the top for incredible views and explore the ruins of King Herod’s Palace.

Ein Gedi Nature Reserve

Ein Gedi is a nature reserve that is a lush oasis with cascading waterfalls and shaded cave pools perfect for cooling off on hot days. It is one of the best spots for hiking in Israel, with plenty of kid-friendly walks.

Negev Desert

The Negev Desert covers over half of the country’s total land area and is a stunning and starkly beautiful place to visit in Israel. Nomadic Bedouins have lived here for centuries, and there are still flourishing Israeli communities that have found harmony with their desert surroundings.

The Negev Desert is also home to diverse wildlife, including the desert Hyrax and the Nubian Ibex, and is known for a unique geological formation called makhteshim which are crater-sized holes formed by water erosion. There are also hiking trails, bike trails, archaeological treasures, and more. Doing a family tour of the Negev Desert is one of the most unique things to do in Israel with kids.

Eilat and the Red Sea

Eilat is a popular resort town on the Red Sea and the southernmost town in Israel. It is a popular location for scuba diving to see beautiful coral reefs and marine life, including lionfish, clownfish, moray eels, and manta rays. Some species can only be found in the Red Sea. Younger children can see the sea life by snorkelling or riding a glass-bottomed boat.

Eilat has some of the top attractions for kids in Israel, including a dolphin reef, an underwater observatory, and a bird park.

From Eilat, many guests also enjoy crossing the border to Aqab. jordan and onwards to the Lost City of Petra .

Travelling around Israel is relatively easy. Larger cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem have great public transport systems and plenty of taxis, so renting a car is unnecessary, especially since parking can be expensive.

Outside the major cities, Israel has a great public transport system and wonderful roads with signage in both Hebrew and English. You just have to remember that all public transport shuts down during the Sabbath, so you would have to plan around that.

Israel is a relatively small country; you can drive from north to south in under six hours and east to west in under two hours. This makes travelling around the country rather manageable.

Be aware that family travel costs on buses and trains can add up. Long-distance routes often start at $10 per person each way, and with larger families, it may be more economical to hire a car.

Driving in Israel

If you plan to travel a lot between cities and don’t want to rely on the bus and train schedule, then renting a car is a good option. It will also allow you and your family to visit out-of-the-way-paces.

Israelites drive on the right-hand side of the road, highways are generally good. Most road signs are written in English and Hebrew, and there are major highways that can transport you effortlessly from city to city. Just be aware that sometimes traffic can get congested and some drivers are a bit crazy.

Rental car agencies can be found at the airport, and the major car rental agencies also have rental offices in the cities, so it’s very convenient to pick up a rental car. Be sure to budget for gas, toll roads, and parking if you are in the cities, which can be $15-20 per day.

Compare prices for rental cars in Israel here .

Taxis in Israel

Travelling by taxi in Israel is convenient and can now be ordered via an app where you can even pay a fixed fare in advance. Always confirm prices before entering a taxi if you’d like to negotiate a flat rate; otherwise, be sure to ask the driver to turn on the taxi metre.

Rates are 25% more if you are travelling late at night, during the Sabbath and holidays. Although tipping is not expected, rounding the fare up is common.

Sherut in Israel

Sheruts are shared taxis and are a convenient and often social way to get around Israel for both innercity as well as intercity travel.

They are usually minibusses that carry about 10-15 people, and the prices are about the same as buses. They operate on fixed routes but can stop anywhere along the route. You just let the driver know where you would like to be dropped off.

Sheruts do operate on the Sabbath, but the rates tend to double during this time.

Trains in Israel

Intercity travel in Israel by train is a good option. A train links the airport in Tel Aviv with Jerusalem’s Yitzhak Navon station; travel takes just under 30 minutes.

Israel has a convenient train network linking major cities. Tel Aviv has train routes to Akko, Haifa, and other northern cities.

Buses in Israel

Within the big cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, buses are a convenient way to travel. To travel on inner-city buses, be sure to buy a reloadable RAV card which can be purchased at the airport as well as most convenience stores.

As for intercity travel, buses in Israel are sometimes the fastest and cheapest way to travel between the major cities. Buses between Jerusalem, Haifa, and Tel Aviv depart very frequently.

For less frequent buses, such as Eilat or the Dead Sea, booking your ticket in advance is best. Several private bus companies operate throughout Israel.

We recommend at least 7 to 10 days to see and experience the highlights on a family trip to Israel.

There is so much to see and experience that your family could spend a month in Israel and still not see everything the country offers!

A typical country-wide itinerary would include:

• Two days in Jerusalem
• Two days in Tel Aviv
• One day at the Dead Sea (combined with Masada and Ein Gedi)
• One or two days in Haifa (combined with some of the northern sites)
• One or two days in and around the Sea of Galilee.

Factor in more days if you’d like to include a visit to the Red Sea. If you prefer to see more of the country and get away from the major cities, you can even reduce the time spent in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to one day each.

Some families choose to do a theme-based tour around Israel, such as a religious pilgrimage tour, a beach-only tour, or perhaps a nature and hiking tour . There’s so much to choose from!

If you are looking for a hassle-free way to travel and see the sights of Israel, a pre-booked and packaged tour will take care of everything for you. No need to worry about driving or be at the mercy of bus and train schedules. Just relax and be guided from one attraction to the next.

However, if you would like to do a self-guided tour, Israel has a great intercity bus, train bus, train network, and good roads for self-drive. Again, just be aware that public transport does not operate during the Sabbath.

Know Before You Go to Israel

Note that your passport won’t be stamped when you arrive at Ben Gurion Airport. For several years now, Israel has not been stamping passports and instead, they stamp a slip of paper that you must carry until you depart from Israel. This is because a few countries will not permit entry if you have an Israeli visit visa stamped in your passport.

Travelling around Israel is generally safe. Most of the incidences of terrorism in the country occur in the West Bank and Gaza. There is a large security presence in the major cities to keep tourists and locals as safe as possible.

But you should always keep your wits about you wherever you travel. Keep up to date on any political changes and always read up on any Government warnings before travel ( UK Foreign Office Travel Advice | US State Department Advice ).

Despite being a relatively safe country to visit, do check that any world travel insurance policies will cover a stop in Israel. We recommend using a trusted travel specialist like World Nomads who understand the region and its nuances.

The currency in Israel is called the new shekel (NIS or ILS) but is simply referred to as the shekel. It is divided into 100 agorot.

Credit cards are accepted just about everywhere in Israel. However, not every place accepts American Express and Diners, although you should have no problems at major hotels and car rentals.

We recommend having some cash on hand for smaller places and for some taxis that do not take credit cards, as well as for tipping. The standard restaurant tip in Israel is 10%.

There are ATM machines in the airport and all over the cities.

Hebrew is Israel’s official language, and Arabic is also used by about one-fifth of the population. English is widely spoken and understood, although sometimes only at the basic level.

Here are some great phrases to learn in Hebrew while visiting Israel:

• Hello – “Shalom” ( also saying “Hi” is understood)
• Thank you – “To-dah”
• Thank you very much – “To-dah Rabah”
• Yes – “Ken”
• No – “Loh”
• Please – “Ba-vaka-shah”
• Goodbye – “Shalom” (also saying “Bye” is understood)
• Cheers – “Le-Chaim”

When packing for Israel, first take note of what time of year you’ll be travelling and the weather in your destinations.

During the summer, Israel is hot everywhere during the day but can be cooler in the desert and up north. During the winter, the whole country can be chilly.

Be mindful of what you will wear and pack accordingly. In Tel Aviv, you can wear anything you want, but in Jerusalem and Nazareth, modesty is expected. Always have a scarf or shawl ready if you visit holy sites requiring your hair, shoulder, and knees to be covered.

Israel power points are quite unique “Type H” round 3-pin sockets . Coming from Europe or with a multi-adaptor, your round 2-pin plugs should work with their standard 230V sockets. Visitors from other countries, you may need to track down a Type H or buy one when you arrive in Israel, then run your appliances on a multi-board .

You can read our complete guide on what to wear in Israel , plus we share a downloadable packing list to help you prepare for your family holiday in Israel.

Jewish Israel Tour Package, 5 Days

overall the tour was good. the guides were very knowledgeable. Unfortunately my planned visit to the Golan heights was cancelled and I ended up visiting Jerusalem twice

Heritage of the Holy Land

Itinerary excellent, Orna our guide was outstanding, My only criticism was the hotel location in Jerusalem- it was just too far out of the city to be able to walk to the sites - my recommendation would be to use one closer to facilities!

Very knowledgeable and pleasant guides. Made the days interest and showed a lot of care. Great ambassadors of the company.

• Coach / Bus

Heritage & Holy Land - 8 days

Dear Folks, The tour was terrific and all I antiipated it would be - experiencing Israel in every way, shape and form everywhere we went! However, at my age the amount of walking was beyond my comfort zone after a several days. I was worn out after 4 days, and totally exhausted after the 6th day, after I'd rested my sore toe in the hotel the previous day! I'm in good shape for my age, however that much walking on unlevel terraine was w-a-y beyond my comfort zone and I'll sign up for that level of intensity again. The tour guides were great and professional. If I were to do another tour, I'll visit half to one/third the number of places we went, relax more, and spend more time at each place. Your foils online that answered all my questions were superb, kind and helpful. That's all, may God bless you all richly!

Discover Israel

Informative and interesting historical and biblical sites. Accommodations and food were very good and guides and drivers were friendly. Only real glitch was pairing English speaking and Spanish speaking tourists together. Lead tour guide had to repeat everything in both languages. Both sets of tourists were frustrated as it slowed things down. Queue line control at the church of the holy sepulcher was lousy, allowing people to cut lines; and at one point the line didn’t move at all from 3:00 until 4:15. By 5:00, they rushed everyone through — if they maintained flow speed throughout the day instead of just at the end and had more queue line discipline, people could get through faster and suffer less frustration. Jordan river— site near Jericho had putrid looking water; should use a site closer to the Sea of Galilee where the water is cleaner. Dead Sea was disappointing— staff would not allow people to swim or float — only wading.

Past to the Future - The Story of the Israeli State - 11 days

I thoroughly enjoyed the Past to the Future - The Story of the Israeli State tour with Consolidated Tour Operators, Boaz, our tour guide, had a deep understanding of the history of the area, which made the experience come alive. The way he presented the places he took us, and in the order he presented them, gave us a real appreciation of Israel and its place in history. His attention to detail, easy-going personality, and expertise gave us an on parallel tour! Using Consolidated Tour Operators for our days in Israel was a treat. Not having to deal with or wait for strangers in a larger group also made the experience more personal. Will definitely recommend Consolidated Tour Operators and Boaz to friends and associates who are planning a trip to Israel! Many thanks, Lisa

The Story of the Israeli State - 10 Days

My husband and I had never been to Israel and booked this tour as a “bucket-list” event. Our tour guide, Efraim Native, was the best - he was a history professor, knew philosophy, religion, politics, economics, abd engineering - answering every question we had. He was friendly, helpful and made excellent food recommendations. Our tour covered Tel Aviv (our new favorite city), Haifa, the Golan (do not miss the Hula Nature Preserve), and Jerusalem (Old and New). We added the Masada/Dead Sea tour at the end. Finally, we chose the 5-Star hotel option and stayed in true luxurious accommodations). We will use Tour Radar and Click Tours again!

Galilee, Golan, Caesarea and Nazareth 4 days

We had a fantastic tour to Galilee, Golan, Caesarea, and Nazareth, the guide Tomer was extraordinarily knowledgeable and answer any questions we had. We highly recommend him for your visit to Israel. The communication and the booking process with the booking-tours company were smooth, and all pickup was on time.

Heritage & Holy Land 5 star - 8 days

Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Dead Sea 4-Day Excursion

The tour was amazing! Masada sunrise - Ein Gedi - the Dead Sea - a wonderful mix of mountain hiking (not easy, but such a satisfaction from a successful ascent!), walking in the park and then relaxing in the Dead Sea. Jerusalem - history and modernity - it was interesting to see two sides of this city. And a cherry on the cake - a Tel Aviv bike tour - it was fantastic! Architecture, parks, history and especially the promenade - I enjoyed it so much! And also a complete delight from the hostel! There is a lovely lounge where a lot of events, nice bar and rooftop for guests to relax. Stunning atmosphere! The staff is friendly and professional - any help at any time. Thank you all, guys, you are amazing!

Countries Visited

Places visited, suggested duration, customizable itinerary, tel aviv – a family awakening.

The beaches of Tel Aviv glisten in the sunlight. Turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea lap against the shoreline. Locals walk along the aisles of the Carmel Market in search of fresh produce, from radishes to raspberries. The scent of the sea drifts through the streets and blends with the strong aroma of coffee emanating from the chic cafes. Your flight lands at Ben Gurion International Airport, where your private transfer meets the family upon arrival. The city bustles with contemporary style and enticing ambiance.

Beachgoers play matkot , a popular paddle ball game often referred to as the Israeli national sport, on the sand. The creamy antique stones of Jaffa, one of the oldest existing ports in the world, shimmer with hints of gold. After settling into the luxuries of your hotel, the family steps out with your guide for an introductory walking tour of the city. You make your way to the promenade to experience the life around the wooden decks of the Tel Aviv Port. Locals ride bikes, stroll, and jog along the walkways overlooking the cobalt hues of the Mediterranean.

Seagulls perch on the edges of the bordering buildings. Restaurants fill their outdoor decks with couples and friends eager to enjoy the view and a sampling of tomato and cucumber salad. The promenade extends for nine miles, connecting Tel Aviv’s Hatzuk Beach in the north to Jaffa in the south. Men cast their fishing lines into the water and relax as they wait for the fish to bite. The kids watch with awe as they point out a world of similarities and differences, wrapping their minds around the culture to which they are being introduced.

What's Included:

Tel Aviv – In with the Old and New

In the morning, locals walk along the cobbled roads of Shenkin Street. Coffee shops and restaurants open their doors to the aromas of fresh coffee and simmering shakshuka , a traditional Middle Eastern breakfast of egg and vegetables cooked in tomato sauce. The boutique windows display collections of vintage and handmade chic garments, from pants to scarves. The gold-sand beaches fill with locals and visitors from around the world soaking up the morning sun. Your guide meets the family at the hotel, ready to lead you on a remarkable tour of Tel Aviv, beginning with a visit to Independence Hall. At the Palmach Museum, the family has an introduction into the underground defense organization known as the Haganah , which was established as a strike force before Israel’s founding. The gold and textured stone flickers with gilded hues.

A sycamore tree adds a refreshing fragrance to the air. The exhibits offer a three-dimensional immersion into the Palmach legacy. The organization helped defend pre-Israel Palestine from the Nazi invasion during World War II and brought thousands of refugees from Europe following the war. The kids fill with excitement to venture underground into an old grotto. A documentary of the Palmach projects onto the wall for a unique experience involving the whole family. In the afternoon, you venture to Old Jaffa, one of the oldest remaining ports in the world, with a history spanning more than 7,000 years. A minaret stands like a lighthouse on a hill. Your guide explains that the 18th-century structure was erected using columns from the Roman city of Caesarea.

Rosh Hanikra – Reconstructing History

In the morning, sailboats glide over the Mediterranean in the distance and fishermen return to the promenade, keen on casting their lines into the turquoise water. After breakfast, your guide leads the family out of Tel Aviv and along the coastal plains. The Roman city of Caesarea continues to rise out of the grassland. The scent of herbaceous soil blends into the coastal breeze. The kids remind you of the minaret at Jaffa, which used the stones taken from the ancient Roman city.

The architects used concrete in the 1st century BCE to erect a harbor with breakwaters. The kids marvel at the Herodian Amphitheatre. Your guide tells stories of the chariot races and gladiatorial games that once took place amidst the 820-foot long plaza. Lions and crocodiles battled the gladiators with up to 10,000 spectators cheering. In the afternoon, you reach the Rosh Hanikra Grottoes, located on the outskirts of Kibbutz Rosh Hanikra. Fishermen stand on protruding flat rocks and cast their lines into the splashing sea. The cliffs shimmer with white stone.

Rosh Hanikra represents the only point in Israel at which the sea meets the cliffs, located at the country’s northwestern tip. The sea changes from turquoise to sapphire. You can hear the small waves wading against the boulders below. A scenic cable car takes the family down to the walking paths at the heart of the cliffs. The sea caves contain smooth walls with natural indentations marked by rainwater opening the bedrock. The tunnels reach a length of more than 650 feet with interconnecting segments. The sunlight casts an iridescent shimmer through the grottoes, easily enchanting the entire family.

Rosh Hanikra – On the Creative Trail

In the morning, you make your way to the ancient town of Tzfat, also known as Safed. Cobblestone streets bisect antique structures. The aroma of delicious falafel emanates from the open doors of the cafes. Small tables stand atop the antique stones, allowing patrons to enjoy watching passersby. The town stands at an altitude of nearly 3,000 feet above sea level and has been considered one of the four holiest sites of Judaism since the 16th century. The Sephardic Ari Synagogue was established in the 16th century and remains Safed’s oldest known synagogue. A small room stands to the left of the bimah , a raised platform.

Candles flicker with light, representing the countless hours the practitioner known as the Holy Ari spent studying mystical texts. The synagogue and the small room contain a majestic ambiance embellished with the creative sensibilities of the town’s artist colony. You continue to the Manara Cliffs to ride the cable car for 6,350 feet, the longest in Israel. The scenic ride encompasses the surrounding valley. Lush farms glow emerald against the staggering edges of the cliff. Cypress trees intersperse the structures of the town below.

Jerusalem – Along for the Thrilling Ride

In the morning, the aroma of olive orchards and cypress trees fills the air, accompanying the refreshing scent of freshly brewed coffee. After breakfast, the family steps aboard a four-wheel drive jeep, ready to ride through the Golan Heights. The terrain fluctuates between verdant green and wildflowers to basalt boulders and deep canyons. Orchards and vineyards sprout up near springs, and the volcanic plateau turns dry and tan in the summer months. You reach Nimrod Fortress; a 13th-century edifice erected to protect the road connecting Tyre to Damascus. A narrow ridge reaches upwards of nearly 2,675 feet above sea level on the slopes of Mount Hermon. The kids are awestruck at the size of the walls adorning the remote mountain terrain.

The fortifications reach a length of more than 1,300 feet and a width of nearly 500 feet. Lush tufts and bushes texture the tan mountain ridges. Stone archways continue to frame the walkways meandering through the fortress. The family has a dramatic view of the forested valleys separating the Golan Heights from Mount Herman leading to the Lebanon border. The kids listen with intent to the history of the fortress, from its destruction by the Mongols to the impressive 13th-century hall. You run your fingers over the smooth stones framing the angled archer slits in the Northern Tower to fully realize the preserved nature of history. In the afternoon, you venture to Beit She’an to view a working archeological dig.

Jerusalem – Adventures in the Old City

The morning light washes over the mixture of cobblestones trees and palm trees. The city shimmers with golden hues spreading along the surrounding hills. The Old City is one of the world’s leading pilgrimage destinations due to its impressive collection of sacred relics, structures, and living history. After breakfast, the family steps back in time to the Roman Empire by following your guide through the Cardo Maximus, one of the main streets used in Roman and Byzantine times. The street extends to a length of more than 650 feet located nearly 20 feet below the contemporary city. Shops once ran along the side of the road, flanked by columns supporting an awning.

The small Burnt House Museum immediately fascinates the family through its display of a Herodian period home. The kids point out the exhibited artifacts of Roman coins amongst the protected remnants of the stone walls. You gain a vivid picture of Jewish history up to 70 BCE when the Romans sacked the city. The Wailing Wall captivates you and the kids as it continues to embody the Second Temple. The sounds of the surrounding plaza fade to the melodic prayers and chants visitors say while visiting the nearly 160-foot long partition. Small notes stick out from between the cracks of the walls, each containing a secret prayer someone left. The family takes the time to write their prayers on a sliver of paper before folding the note and placing it between the ancient stones.

Jerusalem – Taking to the New Roads

Jerusalem’s Old City captivates visitors from around the world and maintains a strong connection to the three major monotheistic religions. The domes of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre reflect the morning light. Locals make their way to the bustling aisles of the Mahane Yehuda Market to find fresh produce and celebrated food stalls. The aromas of za’atar and freshly squeezed lemon drift through the marketplace, accompanying the scent of nutty baklava. The majesty of Old Jerusalem lingers at breakfast before the family ventures out to explore the splendors of the New City on a guided tour, beginning at the Herzl Museum. Mount Herzl commemorates Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism.

You walk through a reconstruction of Herzl’s library and study located near the museum’s main entrance before following the walkway to view the freestanding sarcophagus. The interactive museum contains audio-visual presentations of Herzl’s life interwoven with photos, allowing for an immersive look into the activist’s vision. After visiting the Holocaust Memorial of Yad Vashem, your guide leads you through the bustling aisles of Mahane Yehuda for a more encompassing experience. Large sacks contain various spices offering a rich collection of aromas, from cardamom to dried fennel and cinnamon. The kids marvel at the maze-like walkways blending the sounds of the city with the aromas of mouthwatering restaurants, bright produce, and active shopkeepers calling out to passersby.

Jerusalem – Dipping into the Dead Sea

At noon, the bells from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre chime against the movement of Jerusalem. Byzantine mosaics decorate hidden churches along the Armenian Quarter. Narrow lanes lead to some of Jerusalem’s oldest chapels, including the 12th-century chapel of St. Mark’s. After breakfast, your guide meets the family at the hotel and escorts you to the banks of the Dead Sea at the Ein Gedi Spa. The region celebrates the healing properties the water, air, sun, and soil. Heated pools along the property contain the local sulfur water, known for helping skin ailments and soothing the body.

The kids take turns rubbing the mud on their arms and legs, allowing the rich nutrients to coat their skin. The soil dries and crusts in the desert’s natural heat. You walk down to the lapping water of the Dead Sea, located at the earth’s lowest elevation on land, at more than 1,400 feet below sea level. The sea reaches a depth of nearly 1,000 feet and contains a high salinity rate. Mounds of salt sporadically assemble along the lakeshore, resembling pockets of snow. The family eases into the refreshing water, washing away the mud on their skin. You lounge in the sea and let the rich salt content keep you afloat on the water’s surface.

Jerusalem – The Mountains of Judea

Today the family ventures to the Ayalon Institute located in Rehovot. The museum is located in a restored bullet factory opened in 1945 under the guise of a regular kibbutz, an area utilized for farming. The factory is located more than 25 feet underground. The subterranean character keeps the room cool amidst the desert heat. Workers produced 9mm bullets for Palmach fighters in complete secrecy until 1948. Your guide leads you through the reconstructed dining room and halls to offer insight into how those working the factory lived at the time. Above ground, the aroma of eucalyptus emanates from the lush groves.

The family continues to Beit Guvrin National Park, the ancestral home of King Herod. Underground labyrinths crisscross the landscape to connect the tunnels to subterranean rooms. Remnants of ancient olive oil production and weaving installations reflect Hellenistic settlements. The family has a hands-on archaeological excursion to learn about the history of the region and the daily work of a real-life archaeologist. Step into the field, passing between areas segmented with tape. The family digs into the soft soil using small shovels and brushes in search of pottery shards and elements of life in the region. The kids focus on pouring sand into the provided buckets before sifting through the soil. The archaeologists pick the pieces of what was once a complete vase.

Jerusalem – A Glance at Israel

In the morning, the 19th-century narrow, winding lanes of the Nachlaot District fill with locals making their way to work. The preserved historical houses frame the walkways and antique synagogues, including Ades Synagogue on Shilo Street. The Syrian Jewish community erected the edifice at the turn of the 20th century in the traditional Middle Eastern architectural style. Chandeliers dangle from the high ceilings and wooden benches face the central dais. The temple ark covers the entire eastern wall. Your guide leads you on a half-day tour of the newer districts of the city, including the Israel Museum.

The galleries exhibit more than 500,000 artifacts, including the celebrated Dead Sea Scrolls. The kids marvel at the unique, tattered documents after learning the scrolls were written between the 1st and 2nd centuries BCE. You take note of the ancient calligraphy, in which each word holds an elegant shape all on its own. After exploring the Christian Quarter, your private transfer meets you, ready to escort the family to Ben Gurion International Airport. You could extend your family vacation and take the time to visit Eilat located on the shores of the Red Sea, along with wandering the canyons and captivating cliffs of Petra in Jordan.

"Every place we visited was breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning landscapes and rich historical and cultural heritage. We highly recommend visiting Israel to anyone who wants to experience an unforgettable journey. We had a life-changing time there and are already planning to return." Simon L. and Beatriz G. – Tour to Israel/Egypt/Jordan February 2024 "I had a wonderful time in Israel. I felt while I was there the precautions that were taken for our safety were well in hand. I still got to experience many holy sites and be blessed by walking the path that Jesus walked. Every day was started in prayer, singing, or scripture reading which also extended the blessing of the trip." Quincie L. – Tour to Israel/Egypt/Jordan February 2024

Our Israel tours & Holy Land tours of 9-24 days for the Evangelical Protestant Bible believer are what Pilgrim Tours does best.

If you want to experience the history of Israel and see the Bible come to life, our Holy Land tours give you that opportunity.

The city of Jerusalem offers a unique convergence of Judaism, Christianity, and the Muslim faith. For Christians who visit Jerusalem, you will learn about many stories of the Bible while walking her streets. Many actors in the Bible such as Abraham, King David, King Solomon, the twelve disciples and Jesus all lived, visited, or spent time there. The Passion week of Christ will be highlighted during our stay as we visit the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Western Wall, the Way of Suffering, and the Garden Tomb.

Sea of Galilee

Nowhere in Israel does the Bible come to life more than along the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Pilgrims who visit the Galilee region have the opportunity to imagine what life was like 2,000 years ago and what Jesus and the twelve disciples experienced while fishing on the Sea of Galilee. The peaceful setting and the natural wonders of the Golan Heights to the east and Mt. Arbel to the west make for a great way to start your morning in quiet reflection. During our tour, we explore the Biblical towns of Capernaum, Magdala, and Nazareth and take a meaningful cruise on the Sea of Galilee.

The Dead Sea is not only the lowest and most lifeless lake in the world, but also nearly 10 times saltier than the ocean. Travelers will enjoy the beautiful colors of the blue water and the red mountains of Jordan to the east. Take time to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime Dead Sea “float” either in the sea itself or at one of the warm salt water pools at our hotel. The Dead Sea experience is truly a bucket list visit you won’t want to miss!

Garden Tomb

Our visit to the Garden Tomb and its surrounding gardens is normally one of the highlights of our tour to Israel. The Garden Tomb is a rock-cut tomb in Jerusalem that was unearthed in 1867 and is considered by some Protestants to be the site of the burial and resurrection of Jesus. Our visit offers a unique time of prayer, reflection, communion, and praise, which will be a special life-long memory for many travelers.

Jordan River Baptism Site

The Jordan River Baptist Site or “Yardenit” is a baptism site located along the Jordan River just south of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. This site is frequented by Christian Pilgrims who enjoy imagining the setting of the baptism of Jesus. For anyone who would like to be baptized in the Jordan River, Yardenit has been developed to be a peaceful setting with beautiful gardens, clean colored water, changing facilities, showers, and a nice souvenir shop.

Caesarea Philippi

To many Pilgrim travelers, Caesarea Philippi is a special surprise while on their tour. Located along the rushing springs of Mt. Hermon, the beautiful and natural setting is where Jesus asked his disciples “Who do men say that I am?” He asked this question while observing the pagan worship of the god Pan as worshipers offered their sacrifice at the “Gates of Hell.” Our time at Caesarea Philippi is one of many opportunities throughout our tour to see the lessons and message of the Bible come to light in a special way.

Israel Tours: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best month for the Holy Land tour?

Taking a trip to Israel during the spring or fall offers the most enjoyable weather of the year but normally has the largest crowds. If you want to enjoy a peaceful tour with fewer crowds, consider visiting between December and February or June and August. We offer Israel and Jordan tours throughout the year, so you can select a trip that works for your schedule.

How many days do you need for a Holy Land tour?

We offer several types of tours of the Holy Land, so the duration of your tour depends on the tour package you choose. The Best of Israel Tour is our most basic offering and includes a Sea of Galilee boat ride, a trip to the Jordan River Baptism Site, the Dead Sea, and many opportunities to walk on the same land Jesus walked on. This is our shortest trip at just 9 or 10 days. Our most involved trips allow you to experience a wide range of historical locations over the course of a few weeks. Egypt tours are included in some of these packages, as well as tours in Greece and other countries. These tours can take up to 24 days, giving you the chance to spend an extended period of time learning about and visiting different parts of the world. From our Turkey tours to all of our Israel Christian tours, all of our tours feature a first-class hotel rating for the country you visit. We do offer some upgraded tours that offer better lodging options. You can review our hotel categories at https://www.pilgrimtours.com/company/hotelcomparison.htm . Check out any of our tours to view a day-by-day itinerary and see what amenities are included with each tour.

What is the dress code in Israel?

The dress code in Israel is different from other parts of the world. There are a few dress code basics you should understand before booking Israel tours: When you’re in Israel, there is no strict dress code. You can wear what you feel comfortable wearing. However, both men and women should try to dress conservatively and cover their shoulders and knees when visiting any of the religious sites throughout Israel. Generally speaking, it’s best to avoid tank tops and shorts. Men need to cover their heads when visiting the Western Wall. Pilgrim Tours provides a Pilgrim Tours ball cap upon arrival in Israel, but you might consider purchasing an affordable kippa that you can bring when you visit Jewish sites. Some places may offer a free kippa, but these are generally low quality. (Women are not required to cover their heads at any sight.) You can figure out what you need to pack and how to dress each day by looking at the itinerary for our Holy Land tours. Guides normally offer guidance on how to dress for the next day while on tour. We also suggest looking at the extended weather forecast as you prepare and pack for your trip.

Is there a lot of walking involved on an Israel Tour?

Our Israel tours do require a significant amount of walking each day and you should be able to walk unassisted 3-4 miles per day on average. Make sure you have a comfortable pair of shoes that provide adequate support. While there are bus and boat rides during these tours, you have to walk quite a bit to explore some of the Biblical sites. Our tour guides normally give the group a few options at sites for those that have physical limitations. One thing to keep in mind is that there are many hills and valleys in Israel which can make walking even more taxing. The amount of walking you have to do may vary based on the tour you take, so look at the itinerary before choosing your tour. The good news is that Israel is a beautiful country to see on foot, and you’ll have several opportunities to sit down and give your feet a rest. As long as you have a good pair of shoes and comfortable clothes, it’s easy to forget about all the walking you’re doing and enjoy the tour.

What passport & visa information do I need for your Israel tours?

U.S. citizens need a valid U.S. passport with at least six months validity beyond their intended stay to enter Israel. Make two photocopies of your passport. Leave one copy at home and carry the other separately from your original. Israel: U.S. and Canadian Citizens do not need a Visa when entering Israel. Non U. S. /Canadian Citizens are responsible to fulfill appropriate entry requirements of destination. Contact your Consulate office for requirements.

What common languages will be spoken during your Israel tours?

Hebrew, Arabic and English.

What currency can I use on your Israel tours?

The U.S. dollar is widely accepted across Israel, and we suggest bringing about $30 for each day you’ll be on tour. U.S. dollars are recommended for use for small purchases and lunches. Lunches typically cost $15-20. It is important to bring about 20 $1 bills as some bathrooms charge a small fee for use. Credit cards may also be used for larger purchases. ATMs in Israel are all connected to European and American banking systems. Please be advised that the ATM machines dispense money in SHEKELS – NOT U.S. DOLLARS. Please notify your bank before traveling overseas.

Do I need to bring a converter for the Israel tour?

Israel uses the European plug with two round pins. You will need to bring along the necessary converters and adapters to operate any 120 volt appliances such as hair dryers and electric razors as well as camera and cell phone chargers. Electricity in Israel is 220 volts 50 Hz.

What is the time zone for your Israel tours?

The time zone for Israel is seven hours ahead of EST and two hours ahead of GMT.

What climate should I expect during your Israel tours?

Live updates, ‘hunter got high:’ biden son’s drug, laptop troubles spoofed in remixed afroman song.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Afroman reprised his 2000 hit song, “Because I Got High,” with a new version making fun of Hunter Biden. 

Baste Records posted on X on Friday about Afroman’s new song,  “Hunter Got High,”  sharing a link to the full video on YouTube. 

“Hey Hunter! Roll another one of those congressional blunts, brotha,” the video starts, as Afroman and an actor portraying Hunter Biden pull up smoking in the back of a black SUV. 

“He was gonna get his laptop fixed, but Hunter got high,” Afroman sings.

“He shoulda let Hillary bleach the whole hard drive. But Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high,” he sings along with the actor portraying Hunter and a white-haired man in a mask portraying President Biden.

Beyond the Hunter Biden laptop, Afroman’s new song also takes jabs at alleged influence peddling by the Biden family , as well the Secret Service confirming that cocaine was found at the White House last summer and subsequently closing that probe without naming a culprit. 

Warning: Graphic language

“He thought he had a secret stash, but Hunter got high. The White House got shut down, and we all know why. Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high,” the song says. 

Afroman also mocks Hunter Biden’s art career , which has come under fire by House Republicans raising conflict of interest concerns between wealthy buyers and the White House.

The song continues, “Biden never use to start with B-U-Y. Till Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high.”

“Ukraine wasn’t part of the plan, till Hunter got high China wasn’t that big a fan, till Hunter got high. He wasn’t gonna split it all, with the old big guy . But Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high,” he says.

Baste Records, founded by Matthew Azrieli, bills itself as a “harbinger of the counter culture to cancel culture.” 

Its website says the record company aims to stand for freedom of speech and freedom of thought in what it says has become a predominantly “woke” mainstream music industry.
