Will the itinerary be exactly as advertised?
We make every effort to follow the itinerary as planned. However, schedules in Israel can be affected by flight delays, local conditions, security guidance, or weather. On rare occasions, sites may close unexpectedly or require rescheduling.
If adjustments are needed, our team will provide the closest possible equivalent experience, ensuring that the spiritual and cultural goals of the trip remain intact. Your safety, comfort, and experience always guide these decisions.
