Moroccan holiday
I had started planning my wife s 60th birthday surprise in Morocco from the 6th till the 17th Jan 2019 with my daughter who lives in Israel in August 2018 We were 2 contingents 6 adults from the UK and 10 adults 3 Children from Israel The original organiser was an Israeli who due to the complexities of us dividing into 5 separate groupings and coming and going at various times pulled out on the 18th December with 17 18 days to go Ben miraculously stepped into the breach Not only did he manage to organize a much better tour with kosher meals for 95 of the time but he even organized a fantastic birthday party in the Dar Essalam Restaurant in Marrakesh He managed to sort out visa s for all the Israelis even though it was the end of year holidays and the Moroccan consulate in Paris was closed for many of the 17 days It was an incredible holiday taking in 6 7 cities and scenic tours and not surprisingly due to the lateness of the booking there was a hiccup or two but the moment Ben became aware of any problem he was in contact with us until it was resolved I have no hesitation in giving my highest recommendation to him To organize a tour like ours with such short notice was nothing absolutely remarkable Needless to say I will be using him again in the future Barrie Katsch

Trip to Australia New Zealand and Hawaii
Our recent trip to Australia New Zealand and Hawaii was b h a great success due to the advance planning and real-time execution of all the arrangements by Ben and Debbie When flooding in Auckland threatened to interfere Ben was there on Whatsapp and on the phone changing flights hotels tours and foods in his gracious and superbly efficient manner The arrangements for the month-long trip which included not only hotels and tours but kosher food in out-of-the-way places together with Ben s constant availability spanning multiple days and inconvenient time zones made the experience one we will always remember Many thanks

UK holidays with Bespoke Kosher Travel
My husband and I wanted a family holiday in the UK this summer as we were reluctant to fly and felt the best option was self-catering I turned to Ben as he had found us an amazing villa in Spain last summer and had really put himself out to ensure we had an enjoyable holiday in 2019 He came up trumps this summer again - he worked tirelessly to find us a suitable property which was not easy as we were two adults and six children and had certain specific requirements He couldn t have been more accommodating liaising continually between us and the various owners of the properties we considered He was so helpful that in the end when we decided to take a second week away in the UK we turned to him again to find us a suitable property And again at short notice he found us a place which suited our needs in a lovely part of the country We were quite fussy but Ben persevered Again he has helped us to have a great summer He also offered to help organise Kosher food but I could manage that myself in the UK - abroad is somewhat more tricky He also followed up on our arrival in each place to check that everything was in order and then on our return to ensure things had run smoothly I have really enjoyed working with Ben and would recommend him most highly In fact I m not sure we would have had a summer holiday without his help

The holiday of a lifetime - Series 1
As an older strictly orthodox couple we have previously been limited to finding groups to travel with in order to meet all our religious requirements We were recommended to Ben by some friends and with a little trepidation decided to give him a chance From the very first meeting in the comfort of our home Ben gave us the opportunity to plan our dream holiday He came up with some suggestions but was very open to listening to us the clients Once the itinerary had been planned incuding names of suitable shuls and even Shabbat times we sat back to await the big day to start the holiday The holiday was a dream from start to finish The food was delicious and plentiful the tours were stunning the guide in Cape Town John Batchlor was so knowledgable and obliging collecting my husband from shachris every morning so we could get an early start The accommodation in Kruger in Cape Town and in Plettenberg Bay was fantastic - clean and spacious Ben was available on WhatsApp both day and night and happy to accommodate any change of plan when we wanted to visit a different venue or change the itinerary around We cannot praise Bespoke Kosher Travel enough and we are looking forward to using Ben to plan a trip to Canada later this year iyh Thank you Ben

They go the extra mile We have used this company for kosher
We have used this company for kosher travel worldwide over the last 12 years We have always had first class service attention to detail and any problems that arose have been diligently managed and handled On a recent trip to California we found the service impeccable and situations which arose beyond the control or expectation of bespoke kosher travel were sorted out and dealt with professionally without the bad attitude that is sometimes prevalent when it is appropriate to make a refund We have the highest Regard for the principles and the staff and would certainly travel with them in the future without hesitation
