Air Travel
A direct flight from New York is 9-11 hours. Many flights connect through Europe which can extend your traveling time to over 14 hours. A direct flight to England is typically between 4-5 hours.
To Tour Israel specializes in maximizing your experience in Israel by providing hotel bookings, car rentals, cell phone rentals, tours and VIP airport service. If you experience any particular difficulty with your flight arrangements we can recommend an experienced English speaking travel agent.
Medical
Israel has a number of world class medical facilities but treatment can be pricey without insurance. We highly recommend purchasing full travelers insurance before you travel.
Yes, most of the same medicines are available here, but bring a copy of your prescriptions along with you. Most pharmacists will be able to identify prescription drug names that are written in English.
Hotels
Your regular electronics plug will not fit into a regular Israeli outlet. Most hotels have American (110 volt) sockets in the restrooms. Laptops only require a plug adapter, not a power converter and most hotels provide plug converters.
The minimum recommended tip for your hotel stay (which includes housekeeping, waiter & bellboy) is $15.00 per day for a party of up to 4.
Phones
We can have a phone waiting for you at the time of your arrival or deliver it to your hotel.
Inbound calls are free, while there is a minimal charge for outbound calls. There is also a small daily charge for the phone rental itself.
General
the tap water in Israel?
Water standards are excellent and the water is clean. However, most travelers prefer to drink bottled water.
