What an amazing vacation we had guided by the expertise of Sari Rosenbaum of Gil Travels. She listened to what we wanted and put together a comprehensive, fun, educational trip that we\u2019ll remember for a lifetime. We wanted a Jewish focused tour that introduced us to Portugal and to the Jewish connection with the country. We had both and a bit of wine along the way. We loved the experiential aspects of the trip; the cooking, wine tasting, 2 boat trips and the amazing tile factory tour and making. The hotels were top notch and our main guide became like a friend.

I\u2019m sorry, but I have no bad feedback! \u00a0 The Masseria was fabulous \u2014 and the bed was BIG! Aya and Isaac and Moshe (who we knew from a trip to Sicily last year) were amazing guides and companions. \u00a0 \u00a0And despite my qualms about \u201cthe demographic\u201d, the other travelers on the tour were all just great. \u00a0It was a highly congenial group and the fact that it was so small made it even better. \u00a0We had a spontaneous day on a boat that included swimming in the Ionian Sea which for me was the high point. But everything we did was enjoyable \u2014 interesting, fun, stimulating and the meals were extravagant and delicious. The only downside of a kosher tour (for us) is that you miss the fun of trying local restaurants. \u00a0 Steve and I will eat fish or vegetarian at non-kosher places, so traveling on a strictly kosher trip was a new thing for us.\u00a0 Bottom line, we had a great time, met great people and would definitely travel with Aya and Isaac...<\/div>\n      \n      <div class=\"ue-meta-data\">\n                \n                \n                \n        \n                \n        \n        \n        \n        \n                \n              <\/div>\n\n            \n          <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-item ue-dynamic-popup-item \">\n                            \n                    \n          <div class=\"ue-grid-item-meta-data\">\n            <span class=\"ue-grid-item-meta-data-icon\"><i class=''><\/i><\/span> \n             \n          <\/div>\n          \n  \n  <div class=\"uc_content\">\n    <div>\n      \n                    <div class=\"uc_post_title\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.giltravel.com\/testimonial\/sherri-l\/\" target=\"_self\">\n            <div>Sherri L<\/div>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            \n              <div class=\"suitable\">\n                  <\/div>\n      \n      \n      \n              <div class=\"uc_post_text\">We just returned from a fantastic week in Portugal, beautifully organized by Sari Rosenbaum at Gil Travel.
