TOUR PRICES

Tour prices are based on costs, charges, taxes, and US dollar exchange rates known at time of booking. We regret should any of these costs change, a surcharge may be added to the cost of your tour. You would be notified prior to travel.

DEVIATIONS & CHANGES

Requests for deviations from flight itinerary are subject to availability and space plus an applicable airfare surcharge, and a $50 deviation fee per person. To enable finalizing of group arrangements, requests and changes are not accepted less than 60 days prior to departure.

INSURANCE

At this time, Israel is requiring guests to provide proof of insurance that covers Covid-related illnesses before entry. Companies vary regarding the length of time to purchase trip insurance to cover pre-existing conditions and/or the “cancel for any reason” feature (example: TravelSafe requires purchasing insurance with 21-days of your deposit date). You are welcome to use any company for trip insurance. The company we have worked most closely with is TravelSafe Insurance, and their plans with pricing can be reviewed on their website. Using this link provided will link your policy to Morning Star (which makes it much easier for us to assist you should a claim be necessary).
