This was a wonderful trip which covered everything I hoped to experience on a first visit to Argentina and Uruguay with a Jewish emphasis. The tour included Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Moisesville, Iguazu Falls(with a fun boat tour under the Falls) and Montevideo. There were great expert guides for most of the sites along with the Uruguay-born Jewish organizer Ariel who was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and contributed additional information and stories. It was an exciting and inspiring trip and I learned so much. I am looking forward to another trip with Ariel and Tiyul Jewish Journeys.

My first trip with Tiyul. Both educational and entertaining. Ariel is the owner, trip planner, tour guide all rolled into one. A well planned trip. You won’t stay in five-star hotels or pay five-star prices, but accommodations were comfortable and well located. A good value.

The highlight of our trip to Argentina with Ariel was the visit to Moses Ville, Santa Fe, Argentina. It was seeing Jewish history in Argentina with our own eyes instead of reading about it in a book. The trip was wonderfully balanced in its history, arts and nature parts. We enjoyed all of it. Thank you Ariel, AA from San Jose, CA

This is my second trip with Tiyul and it was another amazing experience! Ariel has assembled a great network of local guides and scholars--on this trip we had a wonderful scholar associated with Yad Vashem who shared insights and personal stories for the sites we visited. I am already planning my next trip (to Poland) -- maybe I'll see you there!

The Baltic Trip fulfilled all of my wishes - THE LEARNING: Ariel is passionate, and filled with knowledge and stories that he delivers effortlessly and succinctly. He was joined by Raquel, who gave us lectures and background that was factual, inspiring and emotional. The guides for each country were warm and unbelievably wise about the Jewish experience. THE ITINERARY:: It flowed so well from place to place. A wonderful mix of getting to know each city - Tallin, Riga, and Vilnius - PLUS the Jewish history. The ferry to Helsinki was just an outstanding bonus. The places we visited were purposeful and meaningful. THE PEOPLE: Our group was SPECIAL - friendly, interesting, and eager to talk and share. It didn't matter who you sat next to - it was a conversation to be enjoyed. Really grateful for this poignant experience!
