Hello, I’m Trish Duke, a friend of Israel and a confirmed travel addict...
(as well as having lived in five countries, on three continents).
After travelling extensively around Israel for over 16 years...I still find it the most fascinating places on planet earth.
The booming tourist industry in Israel proves that Jews, Christians and discerning travellers come here
from all over the world!
I would love to share this very special place with YOU. (About Trish)
As a physical therapist, it has worried me that some members of groups travelling around the Holy Land
find that the cracking pace the guides set is just physically too much for them.
The tour leaders are trying to ‘pack it all in’, with long days of running from one site to the next, often with flights of high steps
and prolonged times of standing to hear about each place. Quite rightly, they are trying to give you your money’s worth.
However, if you are not able to keep up with the group physically, then it can cease to be a pleasure and turn into an
endurance race…with pain and health challenges. Some people have lived on medication to get through a regular tour
or had to miss a day of the tour here and there. That’s very disappointing.
After talking to other tour leaders it was obvious that there was a great need to for exclusive tours that set a
more realistic pace. I have enlisted the services of one of Israel's best tour guides and a reputable, experienced travel agent
in Israel to book our hotels, transport and site entrances etc. Collectively, we have decades of service to ensure that
you have the best possible tour!
Many couples or friends who like to travel together have differing physical abilities, therefore these tours are designed and escorted
by a physical therapist to cater for those differences...so no-one is frustrated by what they can or can't do.
Note: Single supplements on other tours are usually 90-100% extra.
Ours are approx. only 25% extra!!
All cultures are warmly welcomed.
We usually have a mix of couples, elderly parent/adult children, solo travellers
I'm sure you are aware of the biased and anti-Semitic coverage in the media.
You (or your family) may be wondering if it's safe to go to Israel.

For people who are physically challenged in any way, I have designed slower, flexible tours
so you can really enjoy this special land of Israel.
What do I mean by physically challenged?
It could include people with arthritis, heart conditions, diabetes, in cancer remission, seniors, MS, disabled,
respiratory issues, visually impaired, post stroke etc...or just less fit than you’d like to be!
Some people may not be physically challenged, but just don’t want extremely full day tours,
preferring to go at a gentler pace. When the slower walkers are tired, they can have a coffee
break and then the guide can take the more active travellers further...that works well.
On this tour we minimize steps, rough ground, standing and how far you have to walk.
Regular comfort stops are planned.

It took me 30 years to get there…and then I fell in love with the place!
What does your heart yearn to see and experience in Israel?
It may be...
The old city of Jerusalem The Dead Sea
Prayer at the Western wall Masada
Garden of Gethsemane The Galilee
Pool of Bethesda Caperneum
Mount of Olives Sail on the sea of Galilee
Pool of Siloam Mount of Beatitudes
Nazareth The river Jordan
Tel Aviv Armageddon site in WW3
Jaffa Caesarea
We visit these places... and more!
In fact, you see and experience more than regular tours because we have a luxury bus that can often park near to
the entrances of sites, so we don't waste time on our tours walking long distances from the coach parking.
We also save time and discomfort by not having to stand around at each site while the guide shares his information.
The guide shares their inspiring and extensive information as we travel from place to place on the bus or sitting in
the shade.

Here's Trish, your physio escort walking with a delightful 89 year old!
85 year old Ivy (far right) managed our tour with a walker! Here she is on the right listening to the guide at Ein Gedi national park. She wrote to Trish a long letter afterwards that included.... "I just want you to know that I had the most wonderful time due to your caring and the amount of dedication and fore-thought that you had put into organizing the whole tour. It was all so memorable and a lifetime experience! I was amazed at the fulfillment I felt when we drove into Jerusalem... as if my whole being had been blessed and opened up... Our very special end to the tour was planting a tree in memory of my daughter Zoe." If you would like to talk to Ivy about the tour, she is happy for you to contact her +61 8 9311 4315 (for callers outside Australia) 08 9311 4315 (for Australian callers) Email: Ivyking115@gmail.com Hear what Peter has to say about Trish Duke your physio (physical therapy) escort...
Another testimonial for Trish as a tour leader...
The Murrells We’re pleased to tell you how well Trish Duke looked after us on a tour last year. She constantly ensured that we were safe and comfortable and was always there to lend a hand when necessary. Trish made the tour fun and entertaining. She tuned into our every need and was very caring of our welfare throughout the tour. We can thoroughly recommend taking a tour with Trish. You will be safe in her hands. |
