This tour provided me the insight that visiting Israel should mean more than just visiting historical sights. Having an opportunity to interact with kids who see Israel as their home and learning about peoples from all social classes was very inspiring and provided me with a sense of accomplishment. Israel isn’t Israel without its variety of people and people putting in an effort to make it better

You can’t love someone until you really know them, and you can’t know someone until you’ve seen them on good days AND bad days. The same goes for Israel- I wasn’t able to truly know and love this country until I saw the social problems that lie beneath the postcard-ready vistas and tourist destinations. Esperanso showed me the “Real Israel”–full, complex, flawed, and wonderful–and gave me the opportunity to do what anyone would do for someone they love: to give back in a personally meaningful, high-impact way.

Traveling around Israel with Esperanso was an amazing experience! our tour was fun, and the guide was knowledgeable and well-spoken. I would highly recommend exploring the country with Esperanso.

Thanks to Esperanso, I was able to have a truly life-changing experience. I got to learn about the struggles of the world through the lens of childhood innocence that allowed me to see how no matter where people come from, no matter the circumstances, children can see the best in the world. It gave me hope for the future.

Esperanso provides a unique travel experience filled with adventure, mystery, excitement, and true care. I couldn’t imagine my first trip to Israel with anyone else – it was undoubtedly one of the most well-planned trips I have ever experienced and I would love to do it again.

While traveling with my parents and husband, we booked two full-day trips from Tel Aviv with Esperanso to Masada/Dead Sea and Jerusalem. Every detail was taken care of and we truly got the VIP experience. Itay was so helpful and extremely responsive to my many questions. From our first introductory call to our final pre-trip meeting, Itay was there every step of the way to make sure we were completely comfortable. He and his colleagues even checked in with us throughout the trip to make sure things were going well.

Our tours were completely customized with the most amazing tour guide, Itamar. He made it a point to get to know us all as individuals and tailored the days to our interests. Itamar’s knowledge and passion for Israel, its history, and culture were contagious. We absolutely would not have had the same incredible experience and deep appreciation for Israel without Esperanso & Itamar.
