Do you dream about visiting Israel... but WORRY about being left behind on a regular, exhausting, fast-paced tour ?
Could you keep up with their 8 to 10 hour days, walking up to 4 miles, steps, standing, rough ground, hills... all day, every day?!

We only take you to authentic sights
We use experienced Israeli, fully licensed guides
Luxury, air conditioned coaches with plenty of room
Friendly, small tours with approximately 25 passengers
Only 3 hotel changes on tour
with full porter service
Our tours include all the major places in Tel Aviv, the Golan Heights, Galilee, the Dead Sea and Jerusalem
Trish Duke was a guest on 5 of other people's tours to Israel many years ago.
She was frustrated (and angry) that there was always senior guests in the group struggling with the frenetic pace.
They were left behind at some sights or in pain.
As a physical therapist for over 50 years, Trish decided to use her clinical experience and love of Israel
to design more accessible, enjoyable tours for slow walkers and seniors.
She became the Founder and Tour Director ofEasy Israel Tours.

Israel has so much to inspire any traveller with its history, archaeology, diverse cultures
and religions, spectacular scenery, and amazing food fresh-from-the-farm!
Our travellers come from all over the world to join our international tours, but mainly from North America.
Most have never been to Israel before!
Our groups are a great mix of couples, senior parent and adult child, friends and those looking for solo travel.

Do you remember the excitement when black and white TV switched to colour?
After visiting Israel, your Bible will feel like it has become technicolour, because you have seen and experienced the Holy Land for yourself! |
I’m Trish Duke, a friend of Israel and confirmed travel addict... (as well as having lived in five countries, on three continents).
After travelling extensively around Israel with 16 visits ... I still find it the most fascinating place on planet earth.
Pre-covid, the booming tourist industry in Israel proved that Jews, Christians and discerning travellers come here from all over the world!
In 2019 Israel had the most visitors since Independence in 1948!
Post-covid tourism in 2023 and 2024 is a block buster with bookings coming faster than ever before...
with people keen to fulfil their dream of visiting and experiencing Israel.
I would love to share this very special place with YOU. (About Trish)
Over the years, as a physical therapist, it worried me as I witnessed struggling members of regular groups traveling around Israel.
I could see that the cracking pace the guides set was physically too much for some of them!
The tour leaders of regular tours 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. 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. I don't want that to happen to you!
After I talked to other tour leaders it was obvious there was a very great need for niche tours
that set a more realistic pace for seniors or physically challenged travellers.
That's why I researched and designed tours at a more sensible pace for slow walkers ...
based on over four decades of clinical experience, caring for patients of all ages.
Our tours are unique with minimal standing, walking, steps, slopes and rough ground.
Easy Israel Tours only employs Israel's best, fully licensed tour guides who will inform and inspire you...
as well as keeping the itinerary on track. They are fully licensed and very experienced local guides.
Our local tour operator in Jerusalem, Legends Tours and Travel, was established in 1996 and is a family run business.
Legends books our hotels, transport, guides, 'meet & greet' services and site entrances etc.
Collectively, our team has decades of service to ensure that you have the best possible tour!
Many couples or friends who like to travel together have differing walking abilities.
Our tours are designed to cater for those differences, so no-one is frustrated by what they can or can't do.
Everyone can enjoy The Land!
The groups are usually a mix of couples, elderly parent/adult children, solo travellers.
Note: Single supplements on other tours are usually 90-100% extra. Ours are approx. only 25% extra!
All cultures are warmly welcomed.
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.
A free subscription to www.HonestReporting.com will put your mind at rest.

There is so much to enjoy in Israel... you'll be so glad that you came to what the Bible calls 'The Land'

Our aim is to introduce you to the local people and culture of Israel, not just go sight-seeing.
Being a tour group of about 25 travellers, we are more flexible.
Having a physiotherapist as your tour leader, ensures that we keep a discreet eye on how you are enjoying the tour,
matching your capabilities and comfort.
A registered Israeli guide travels with us to organise our itinerary and route as well as sharing their extensive knowledge.
Your on-board travel team in Israel consists of myself as a Physical therapist/Christian tour director, a Muslim bus driver
and a licensed Jewish guide, working happily together to make your trip to Israel a special time in your life.
Our trusted agent in Jerusalem works hard behind the scenes to help everything run smoothly.

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 organising the whole tour. It was all so memorable and a lifetime experience! I was amazed at the fulfilment 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." To see the full page of REVIEWS click here
