Please Note: Though tips are not included in the published tour price, tips are set at industry standards and are not optional. They will cover daily guide, bus driver, hotel baggage, housekeeping, dining room and front desk; all who rely on tips as their primary income. This tour is twice as many days as a traditional tour and therefore tips in total will reflect that, approximately $225 p/p for 14 touring days. You will submit the tips (in cash) to Rabbi Feldman upon arrival in Israel. Any additional personal tipping will be your prerogative. Again, this designated amount reflects standard tipping practices for all tours.
Yosher Tours can answer most of your questions (see above contact) as they are happy to serve and accommodate your needs.Contact for Rabbi Jerry Feldman: forfeldman@aol.com
