Ariel Tours: About Us

Meir Weingarten, general manager of Ariel Tours, with President Clinton
The Ariel Tours family has been arranging tours to Israel for more than 30 years. We've taken thousands of Americans to the Middle East. As a leading tour operator in Israel, we know just about everyone in Israeli tourism. When you travel with us, you'll benefit from our long experience and our strong buying power.

England, Italy, and Canada are countries you might navigate alone, but in Israel, a country of complex historical and religious significance, it's to your advantage to travel with someone who can provide continual orientation. Our guides, each a licensed, experienced expert, save you from the day-to-day annoyances of finding your way from place to place. This leaves you free to relax, discover, and enjoy. Our guides are carefully chosen for their knowledge and their talent for turning each day into a celebration of discovery.

with the late Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzchak Rabin
All of our tours, including our customized Chauffeur-Driven Private Car Tours and Bar and Bat Mitzvah Tours, our 15- and 12-night Sunshine Tours, our 13-, 11-, 9-, or 7-night Essential Israel tour, our 7-night Christian Pilgrimage tour, and our tours of Jordan, Egypt, and Greece, are available from your travel agent. If you don't have an agent, we're happy to recommend one to you.

Meir Weingarten, General Manager of Ariel Tours, is a travel-industry professional. He has visited the Middle East countless times and is a respected communal leader. "We take seriously our responsibility to provide our clients with a comfortable and enjoyable vacation. If we succeed it's because we listen to our customers, always giving them the same standard of service we'd demand for ourselves," Weingarten says.

Ariel Tours has a long list of distinguished clients. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations is the most important Jewish organization in the USA. It represents more than 50 organizations and their millions of members. For the last seven years, the conference has entrusted Ariel Tours with their annual mission to Israel.

When WABC Radio, the most listened-to talk radio station in America, took its morning show to Israel, Ariel Tours was entrusted with the enormously complex arrangements of setting up the entire trip, including three on-the-road live broadcasts.
