In 2009 I led my 9th trip to Israel, but my first with Friendship Tours. Their service and expertise made this trip better in many ways, and therefore we have chosen to return to Israel with Friendship Tours in 2010. They under-stand the needs of a Christian group wanting not just a travel experience, but a greater understanding of our Savior’s ministry in His cultural and geographical context. Friendship Tours is extremely accommodating of our desired itinerary and works closely and promptly with us to make necessary changes and adjust-ments. Their professionalism is reflected in the level of expertise and congeniality of the guides and drivers they provide, as well as in the quality of our accommodations. Furthermore, Friend-ship Tours kept in very close contact with us at each stage of the trip to ensure a most positive experience. Working with them has been extremely satisfactory in every way.

When I decided to host a trip to Israel, I contacted five companies that do this. One was FRIENDSHIP TOURS. I found some companies to offer a lesser price, but their hidden cost and lack of professionalism made me cautious about trusting someone to help me when I’m in a foreign country. Of the five Mr. Nasser Noorani was not only the quick-est to reply, his folder was professional in every sense of the word.

There are no gimmicks with Nasser. His promises are not empty. He will not tell you something to get you on board only to change it later. As a leader and host, one wants to appear confident when he takes a group of travelers to a foreign land. I was able to do that with FRIENDSHIP TOURS.

When I was in Israel, the guide asked if I was someone important because Mr. Noorani called a couple times to see how things were going.

I give my highest recommendation to FRIENDSHIP TOURS. I plan to use them again on our next tour.

and Light Radio Broadcast

In my twenty years at Trinity Lutheran Church I have led 360 of my parishioners on 12 church tours to Europe and the Holy Land. This ministry has changed our congregation. Up until 2005 I had used two different companies, then I was introduced to Nasser Noorani of Friendship Tours. With Friendship Tours I can plan exciting trips with confidence. They work with me in structuring an itinerary that is suited for my group. Then Friendship Tours takes care of all the details. They are honest, caring and straightforward. I have found a home with a tour company that makes travel dreams a reality. Next year in Jerusalem!
