Who we are
Tuf Israel is an itinerary planning service for people who want an Israel tour with licensed guide or a self-guided trip, and who want to see the country properly. We started with a simple idea: the best trip is the one built around the person taking it. Two travelers with the same dates can want completely different holidays, and a good plan should reflect that.
Our site asks you a few questions about when you are coming, what you enjoy and what you hope to see. Then a real person designs your route by hand. Behind every itinerary is local knowledge about timing, distances, opening days and the small details that decide whether a day feels smooth or stressful.
We are based in Israel, and we plan for visitors from many countries and backgrounds, so we are used to different expectations, languages and travel styles.
Our approach to a personalized Israel itinerary
We never hand over a standard package. A personalized Israel itinerary starts with your dates, group size and ages, then adds your interests: history and faith, food and wine, nature and hiking, beaches, art, or simply relaxing in beautiful places.
We look at how much you want to do each day and how much driving feels comfortable. Some travelers like a full schedule from breakfast to dinner. Others prefer one great experience a day and long meals. We plan for both, and we are honest when a wish list is too long for the days you have.
Once you receive the draft route, you can ask for changes. We keep refining it with you until it fits.
Explore our tours by region: Jerusalem private tours, northern Israel tours and tailor-made tours of the south. Traveling with children or as a couple? See our family tours and trips for adults.
What you can expect from us
01
A route made by a person
Your itinerary is designed by hand, not assembled by software. Each day is checked for realistic travel times, sensible order of sites and a good balance between activity and rest.
02
Licensed guides on request
When you want a guide, we can include an Israel tour with a licensed guide. Guides bring history, context and stories to the sites, and they can adapt the day to your group as it unfolds.
03
Open, plain communication
We explain how planning works, what happens after you send your inquiry and how changes are handled. If something is unclear, you can simply ask and we will answer directly.
Is it safe to travel to Israel?
It is a fair question and one we hear often. Millions of visitors enjoy Israel every year, but the security and political situation can change, and we would never promise otherwise. We recommend checking your own government's travel advisory before booking and again before you fly.
When we design routes, we pay attention to current official guidance and build in flexibility, such as alternative regions or activities, so your plan can adapt if circumstances change. We are also happy to talk through your concerns openly before you decide anything.
If you have questions about a specific area, contact us and we will give you an honest answer.
Who we plan for
Our travelers include couples on a long-awaited holiday, families with children of different ages, friends traveling together, and first-time visitors who want a gentle introduction. We also plan for returning visitors who want to see a side of Israel they missed.
If you have specific needs, such as limited mobility, dietary requirements or observance of religious holidays, tell us early. We will take them into account in every part of the route.
Can I book an Israel tour with a licensed guide?
Yes. When you want a guide, we include an Israel tour with a licensed guide in your itinerary. The guide brings history, context and stories to each site and can adapt the day to your group.
