Jewish Active Senior Trips to Israel are a great way to explore Jewish heritage and meet other seniors. Gil Travel has been sending senior travel groups on Jewish tours to Israel for years. We understand the variety of needs in senior travel groups, and our travel experts can curate trips to Israel for seniors of any activity level. We know where to go for wheelchair accessible activities, hikes of all difficulties, or cultural and historical sites.
Our tour guides are attentive, knowledgeable, and full of information about hidden treasures around Israel. We listen to you for what you want your trip to be, and our aim is to make it happen. We make your travel dreams a reality. From beautiful botanical gardens to artist colonies and walking tours around Israeli cities, there’s something for everyone in Israel. We have experience working with public and private groups, and our list of international Jewish organizations we’ve worked with includes both Maccabi USA and The Jewish National Fund.
Let our experienced travel group plan the trip of a lifetime for you. We’ve been sending people on trips to Israel for over 40 years, and hope to continue to do so with your comfort and desired activity level in mind. Whether you are interested in Jewish senior singles travel or in a trip for your synagogue or organization, we can prepare everything to make sure your trip goes smoothly.
We know that passing the 55 mark doesn’t mean you want to stop traveling. It just means you want to slow down and see the world. That’s why we’ve crafted active senior tours that are an active, fun and well-paced way to travel with others looking for the same experience.
The trip was amazing! Logistically – there really wasn’t a single hiccup. Drivers arrived when they were supposed to and all hotel arrangements were as we discussed. We also LOVED the restaurant you recommended and made a reservation for us… Our guide was amazing! He truly made the trip special. He is blessed with incredible knowledge of Israel and has a story for just about everything.
This Volunteers for Israel PLUS was one of the most rewarding experiences of my lifetime. I had the opportunity to work as a volunteer on a military base to help support the IDF soldiers and to have a fabulous tour with other volunteers in the land of Israel was a time to cherish.
Our trip to Israel was absolutely great! Tal was a terrific guide and perfect for our group. His knowledge, ability to communicate, guide “instincts” and sense of humor all combined for a wonderful 4 days with him. The itinerary worked well, with some “on the fly” adjustments which we suggested, and which Tal also suggested.
We enjoyed our Israel trip immensely. The hotels were wonderful…we really enjoyed Meir, our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable. His experience as a soldier and commander in the ‘67 war and the Yom Kippur War made us feel like we were seeing the country through the eyes of a person that was instrumental in its formation and growth. A true Sabra!
Dear Iris, on behalf of our extended family, we want to thank you and your entire team at Gil Travel, both at home in Philadelphia and abroad in Israel for your invaluable assistance during this critical time. We so appreciate your efforts and have told everyone in Philadelphia especially on our Jewish community calls how amazingly responsive Gil Travel has been and what an important asset you are to our greater Philadelphia community. Please stay safe all of you and know how much you are in our prayers.
