But it’s not all about the food (though trying authentic Parmigiano Reggiano in Parma is a particular highlight) as along the way you will also experience the rich history of the areas that make this delicious produce, from the Byzantine architecture of mosaic, adorned Ravenna to the diverse links Bologna has to the Etruscans, Gauls, and the Romans.

This trip was way more unbelievable than I anticipated

01-Aug-2020

This trip was way more unbelievable than I anticipated. Honestly one of the best trips of my life. Israel is really such a nice country with so much to see and do! The accommodations were great, the meals were very nice and allowed us to sample each culture’s cuisine. The coach was roomy and kept very clean, and our driver was excellent as well! We were a group of 20 people and our guide always helped to organise the various activities you could do and had tips on where to eat etc. He very knowledgeable about the area and culture and was well known/respected by the locals when we went into different places. He made sure we were always knowing the plan and when we had time for ourselves. I would definitely recommend this tour and will absolutely be using Click Tours again in the future!

Holyland Tour

04-Mar-2020

My girlfriend and I booked this adventure off the advice of a coworker who was born & raised in Israel. I'm still in disbelief that we actually had the opportunity to visit Israel and to walk in the footsteps of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! From the time we landed in Tel Aviv until we left every day was a new adventure. The whole experience was culturally enriching, educational, and fun! I cannot think of a better way to visit so many places all at once. Our guide Mr Erik was an informative , kind, and organised tour leader. He always knew where to go, what time, how to get around, travel tips, and how to organise a large group. Accommodation and food top class. Another trip to Israel for me in the future is a must, to continue my journey into Israel and its wonderful history, people, charm and heritage. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Absolutely outstanding

05-Jul-2020

This is the first time we have been to Israel and our tour of the Highlights of Israel with Click Tours was absolutely outstanding. It was the most amazing experience and we would highly recommend this tour. We couldn't be happier. The tour was well organized, everyone and every itinerary item were on schedule. The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, He was on time all the time and very professional in dealing with us. He took care of us and had been patient and responsible. The drivers were safe and courteous. The sights selected for the tour itinerary covered a broad spectrum of the nations history & natural beauty and were just fascinating. We plan on using them again when I return to Israel because once you visit there, I guarantee you will want to return again and again!

Tour was Absolutely fantastic! it was everything I wanted to see. There was a great mix of free time & things to go do. Our guide was superb! He made it all easy to understand, and knowledge of the local areas visited was excellent. He has a great attitude and was a pleasure to tour with. We saw so much and the organization was great, and felt very comfortable and easy to approach for any type of question. If you value history, interesting cultures, great food and warm, friendly people – Go! I highly recommend this tour and company. Thank you very much.

We enjoyed our tour very much. What we expected, the places we've been dreaming to go. We loved every second of our tour! The Click Tours staff were all warm, funny and approachable. The programme was very well planned giving us a huge variety of experiences. It was a wonderful tour, so fun and so many amazing things to see. We had two excellent guides, We loved they were so knowledgeable and nice. They definitely knows how to guide, inform, entertain, and maintain a good vibe the tour! Both knew how to maneuver to use time to best advantage, knew what to see and what to skip. Highest praise for both! The hotels were all clean and in great locations. Great excursions and a beautiful country. Overall, there is nothing we would change about this tour. Would definitely recommend. Don’t hesitate to book.
