6-days Israel sightseeing trip from Thrillophilia was very educational they helped and put together a fabulous trip!!! Plus they were very much concerned about the traveler's safety, the transfers were on-time and completely seamless. The team even responded in a timely mannered and was flexible in making an adjustment to our trip beforehand, they even choose the best hotel for us to stay-in, This is a proud country with many things to see and learn especially if you are interesting with the ancient-history... the place is truly a paradise for us... I will never ever forget the visit and the experienced I had from this trip especially the trip to Jerusalem and Qumran Caves... Lots of amazing sightseeing which words are less to describe it... Every time we had a precious moment there, We will definitely use Thrillophilia again to help plan the logistics and get recommendations for future trips.

We are a party of 4-people taken this trip to Isreal for 15 days and really this is the joyous trip we had so far... Every time we had a memorable time... I will start with the booking platform we booked this tour... Thrillophilia: Right from the start of the planning of our trip the agent politely helps us with what we are looking for and even shared every detailed information about the trip, they have many packages for Isreal but we choose with the longest one as the itinerary was covering all the major sightseeing of the place. Booking was smooth with a secure mode of payment method, and the voucher they shared via emails was very helpful... Services: All-time gave us a good service and constantly support us before and throughout our trip also ensured each and everything was delivered as promised... Arrangements: Hotels and transport were high-class. The place: It has an amazing history which we loved to hear it all the time from the local. The place is rich in culture, religion, architecture, and ancient history. Activities: sightseeing-spots were breathtaking and unbelievable. We appreciate all the work hard done by Thrillophilia to makes our trip successful
