Travel Agent Recommendations


Think finding a good travel agent is impossible? Think Again.

I posted this question a few days ago: "I travel out of Israel about once each eight weeks. I don't want to overpay, but I don't have to get the lowest possibe rock-bottom price. What really counts for me is a travel agent who knows her/his business, can give good, well informed advice, knows about special deals and is (I know I'm shooting for the sky here) RELIABLE.Thanks."

I received these replies.

I travel once to twice a month! I use Estelle Hock at BT Center. She is knowledgeable and reliable and is always suggesting alternatives that are cheaper than what I am asking for. She also does almost everything for my by email which I find a pleasure. You can contact her at [email protected]

I have a great travel agent named Yael Sabatani, phone 02-6213531. If you do go to her, I'd appreciate your telling her that you got to her through me. Thanx and good luck.

I also travel a lot and I have found the best travel agent ever. I can't tell you how many times she pulled a rabbit out of a hat, making something impossible happen. I have sent about 10 people to her and no one can believe how capable she is of finding what they need. She is without a doubt the most reliable travel agent I ever worked with. I am not even over selling her to you. If only I could find a mechanic, electrician, doctor, dentist etc� like her. Her name is Goldy Teller. I find it easiest to call her directly on her cell phone then to the office. She comes in late in the morning and works late. 054-463-5143

I use Ruth Sopher at Ayala Tours. She's great. Phone is 500-6669.

Try Dorit Howell-Ram: [email protected]

I know of a very reliable ravel agent. His name is Yehudah Samuels and he works at Big Ben Tours in Bnei Brak. He deals a lot with people who leave the country frequently for business and other such frequent travelers. The number for Big Ben is 03-615-6100 and I believe his extension is 9 but I could be wrong.

I don't fly quite as often as you, but I've bought international flight tickets through Henriette Hertz of Ophir Tours (539-8666) about 7 times over the past 5 years and I find the prices, service and advice good and she is reliable. If you do call her you can say [ES] sent you.

from my own personal experience I can recommend an excellent agent. Its called Zion Tours and is run by Mark Feldman. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. Give him a call and make an appointment to see him. Tel 02-6254326. I think you'll be very satisfied. You can tell him that I recommended him.

I am a freelance travelagent. I have been already 18 years in the business. NOBODY has ever not had his requested tickets/flights! What about that for a record?? The main thing is that also the customer is reliable and pays on time! Try me if you want! Thanks, Rivka

My travel agent is wonderful. The best. Her name is Dorit and her numbers are 09-743-5559 and 054-474-3555. She has been more than helpful in making all of our travel arrangements.

I highly recommend Rafy at Olam Umeloo at Sirkin Junction, Petach Tikva 03-933-9339. He's everything you're looking for and more.

Yes! Meets all of the above criteria. Her name is Ruth Spiro. Phone number: 02-536 2163. She works out of her home but is linked to a travel agent in Binyan Clal. These days they work with e-tickets, but if ever you need to pick up anything physically, it can be picked up from Binyan Clal. She is very efficient, hardworking and reliable.

I recently had to buy 3 tickets to the US (im getting married there in the summer), and someone suggested Ruth Spiro. She was very helpful even helped me organise tickets starting from overseas. Her number is (972)(02)623 4048.

ziontours - they're in the center of town and send alerts via. e-mail on good deals (we just paid $640 including taxes, to the states during the month of june!). we work mostly with yael sharon, one of the agents at ziontours.

Yes...definitely. Call Mark at ZionTours. He's all that you asked for!

Rozanne Alek works at home for Ideal Tours. She will research flights and give you great advice--everything you say you want. Her phone is 5000636. Please tell her [BS] recommended her.

My travel agent Ruti is AMAZING and can work wonders. She is located in Rosh Ha'ayin I think, but you do everything over the phone and they have a messenger service that picks up and delivers. Very reliable and efficient. Tell her [J] gave you her number. 03-5656001 or x6026

I strongly recommend Esther Salomon at Ziontours, 6254326. She is professional, reliable, very nice, a native English speaker, and has a lot of experience with business clients who travel frequently. I was a travel agent for many years and I worked with Esther for a while before I left that profession. Since then I have been buying tickets from her and I've sent other people to her who are quite pleased with the service they have received. I can tell you that most of the agents who I met or worked with during my years in the business I would not buy from, but Esther is definitely the exception.
