Adoption Airfare® has been operating as a full-service travel agency since 2013. After spending significant time in Israel, we have broadned our services to include organizing full land package tours to Israel for groups, churches, and ministries. We also personally bring tours to Israel and Jordan. Our tour branch of Adoption Airfare® is called "Hineni Tours," meaning "Here am I" from Isaiah 6:8 "I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” ~Isaiah 6:8

In a word—it was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

By Juanita B for Hineni Tours March 2024 "Comfort My People" Israel Tour! on Apr 13, 2024

I had a fantastic time. Tour guide was the best. Bus was top of the line, driver the same. Great accommodations in every hotel. The itinerary was perfect. And the flexibility of the leadership and the group was amazing. I praise God for the privilege of going on this trip. Hopefully I’ll be able to do it again in the coming years.

By Dionicio V for Hineni Tours March 2024 "Comfort My People" Israel Tour! on Apr 08, 2024

It was such a blessing spending this time together with you in Israel, Pastor Dio! Thank you also for your service unto the Lord and everything you shared at our communion service at the Garden Tomb. Incredible! God was with us in big ways. We hope you'll be able to join us on another tour in the future! God bless!

Our family had a wonderful time visiting Israel. Tabitha and Kevin were great with the entire planning process. They were very professional, friendly and passionate about serving God and others. Having an extensive travel itinerary that we were able to print out and take with us was very helpful. Selecting a wonderful guide and making sure that the group connected was wonderful. We are still taking about our adventure. It has forever impacted our lives. Hineni Tours, you are the best! You will forever be in our hearts. Many blessing from the Rivera family. Shalom!

Shalom, Javier, Nidia & Gabe! It was such a blessing meeting your precious family and having you with us in Israel. You have become very dear to us as a result of this tour. I just think about the awesome time we had together and I know that it is going to be amazing when we all have that BIG huge family reunion one day in eternity. You all are such a blessing and I hope you'll join us together on another adventure near or far! We love you all dearly and look forward to staying in touch! Until next time... May the Lord bless you and keep you and shine His face upon your ministry in the states!! :) Shalom, Shalom!! ~Kevin and Tabitha <3

A deeply meaningful trip that I am so thankful I was able to be a part of. Most of us truly feel like "sisters" and I continue to keep in touch with many of my new sisters. I am so grateful. Having to change airlines in JFK was a nightmare. JFK, with 4 security checkpoints to go through is bad enough, but to change airlines in addition was awful. I do not recommend doing that again. The direct flight to Israel was nice. Most of our group was seated at the back of the plane, which again, is not pleasant. We had to register and pay so far in advance , I do not know why we had such bad seats. As for the trip once we finally arrived, it was wonderful. So many interesting people and places we visited. Despite closures and high winds, we still were able to have the JOY of our Lord and move forward, continue! I feel we accomplished our goal....to spread the JOY and love of Yeshua to many of the people of the Land. I loved it that we were in the north of Israel most of the time. Lots more people in the Land were added to my prayer list! Wish we had more time on my Lake, it was very rushed and I did not get to go down to the water, which was a big disappointment. But being by the Med several times and the Dead Sea was great. Yahweh really showed up and blessed us so many times, blessings that were not planned, things that one HE could have done. Glory to His Name! I am counting the days until I can return to the Land.

Thank you so much for taking time to write your review. I'm so glad you had such a wonderful time in Israel in spite of the flight challenges. It has been a joy serving you and your team of ladies. I'm sure you will have memories to hold onto for a lifetime.

By Adoption Airfare® on May 22, 2023

I had a great time! Deborah Cohen went all out getting us the coolest boutique hotels and kibbutzim. Due to the fact that half of the tour group was delayed for a day and half of touring, Deborah did all she could to rearrange things so that we could all experience the most possible. The trip was one of the best I have been on and am so thankful for the real people of Israel we were able to meet and love on! Being able to go into someone’s home is a rarity when on a tour but because Deborah has met so many and knows so many who live there, we were able to have the blessing of entering into this persons home and she made us the most amazing meal! Thank you Deborah Cohen for a life changing trip, where we came in under great chaos and resistance but God turned it into good and we left in unity and as forever sisters in the Lord!
