Extensions offered for pre or post trips to Israel and the area

On top of organizing trips to Israel, GTI Tourism can also make special arrangements for you for either pre or post tours to other destinations.

We can offer customized trips to other parts of Israel not included in your itinerary, trips to Jordan and Egypt or trips to Rome and Greece. If you are interested in either arriving to Israel earlier or leaving later so you can extend your visit and maybe visit also Europe on your way here, please let us know upon your registration so we can give you flight options and additional extension options.

Our suggested extension can be customized to your needs and we can offer other options not listed above.

When you are already in Israel, you have already paid most of the cost of flights to the area, it only makes sense to expend your experience and visit some of the sites in Israel or around Israel, we have lots to offer, many things to see and very reach cultural experiences all around us. We will be happy to put together the right extension for you and give you a details quote based on your needs.

Looking forward to having you tour with us in Israel and outside of Israel.
