Trip Planning for USA + Caribbean Cruise:
November 2011
Hello Sigalit, we returned home a week ago and everything worked like clockwork. The route you outlined for us was wonderful and the trip was extremely successful thanks to your plan and the good advice you gave us. The combination in your trip plan between detailed itineraries and an endless list of practical tips was wonderful, and what's good is that you gave us different alternatives, so we had flexibility and could choose between the different options. We also loved the references from within your text to the websites of the various attractions, which saved us a lot of time searching the internet. I admit I was worried about the first visit to the USA, especially with 5 children, and I have no doubt that turning to you proved itself and the trip became as simple as can be and everything worked like clockwork. Regarding the Disney Dream cruise, it was above all expectations and it's an amazing ship that suits its online ad: pamper, pamper, pamper.

November 2011
Good morning Sigalit, we, the Melamed family from Kiryat Shmona (I think you'll remember us), want to thank you for preparing our trip to the USA last June. During the trip we said to ourselves "this we must tell Sigal... or this we must update Sigal on". But the return to routine and daily life... Your advice was excellent and we enjoyed ourselves very much in all places (actually the potato museum was the only place we would remove). A month-long trip with 2 boys of different ages is certainly challenging and without your help the trip would have looked different. Your broad and updated knowledge about a trip to the USA is something valuable (especially when it comes to saving on domestic flights without paying for luggage). We were in beautiful places, stayed in pleasant places, and met interesting people. For some reason, until today we didn't get to say thank you. I imagine every family has different desires and yet you knew how to tailor a trip for us as we dreamed. I am attaching a video my son prepared from the trip (his choices), initially Orlando of course but in the second song there is all the rest of the trip and more videos than photos. Also, we prepared a digital book and I can send it to you to view by email (maybe you are tired of seeing America... at the end of the day most of us take pictures in the same places). Truth is, we have a lot of information regarding all sorts of questions of "religious" folks, we would be happy to help if necessary... We highly recommend you.

Hi Sigalit! We would like to thank you for the excellent trip planning to the USA. For the professionalism, kindness, patience, and accuracy you showed in planning the trip. We enjoyed ourselves very much, especially the cruise on the ship ALLURE OF THE SEA, from tours of beautiful sites that from conversations we had with Israelis we met abroad, no one knew about and didn't reach these sites (e.g., Marblehead, Mystic, Newport, the lake at Hoover Dam). And also from the attractions in the hotels in Las Vegas, which although most Israelis reach them, they are not aware of the attractions to see there (e.g., the carnival on the ceiling at the Rio Hotel, the statue show at the Caesar Palace Hotel, etc.). For all your work, thank you very much.

October 2011
Hello Sigalit! Now that the dust from the holidays has settled and there is also a month's distance from the wonderful trip we experienced, it's possible to write a few words with a clear head and without gushing too much. The trip you planned for us was exceptionally successful. I have no doubt that the early planning was the most important component in the trip's success. Even though we presented you with an almost impossible schedule, you tailored a magical route for us passing from one wonderful place to another. Every day we thought it was the peak and then the day after came with a new peak exceeding its predecessors. It's hard to believe how much we managed to see and experience thanks to the precise and correct planning you tailored exactly to our wishes. It's just a shame we had such a short time, but it simply creates a strong desire for more trips and therefore it is assumed we will meet again in the future. One comment: the Navajo trail in Bryce Canyon is quite a steep trail, especially on the climb back, it is more than medium difficulty. We were told that the Queen's Garden trail is indeed a bit longer but easier to walk back and without hard climbs. It's important to emphasize that the early booking of lodgings proved itself above and beyond, because although it is not considered the peak of the tourist season there were many tourists and we met dozens of people on the way who searched for a long time for lodging, while we could utilize every day to its end knowing that even late at night a place in the hotel would wait for us. I wanted to add another comment regarding the use of GPS: it's very worthwhile to follow the road with a map and ensure the device doesn't navigate the drive to problematic places. Sometimes it chooses a route shorter by a few miles on a side road, beautiful in itself usually, but not only does it not save time but sends to difficult and winding mountain passes and lengthens the way. Mountain passes and their heights are marked on the map and it's desirable to pay attention to that before leaving a main road, and especially if the hour of darkness is approaching. Then you also don't see the beauty of the road and also drive on a steep and scary road, which is even quite dangerous in the dark. I still owe you the exact address of the Mormon family from Page and that will be done soon. With thanks and best regards,
Michal Cohen, Kiryat Tivon.

Trip Planning for Thailand:
August 2011
Hi Sigalit, we returned at the weekend from a long trip full of experiences in Thailand. It was simply a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! With the help of the itinerary you prepared for us every minute was utilized, the time planning was excellent, the hotels were in excellent locations, and we visited amazing places - no words to describe the intensity of the experience we went through. Gadi's guidance (Gam's husband) was excellent - there was great added value that the guidance was in Hebrew. Gadi taught us a lot about Thai culture, from an Israeli point of view. Regarding the sites we visited: Jim Thompson's House - was unnecessary for us. Elephant Sanctuary - cost a lot of money and does not justify the cost. Khantoke show - the food was excellent. The show was not so interesting. Koh Samui - we did a trip around the island and a cruise to the Ang Thong islands. The rest of the time was dedicated to the pool, sea, rest, and water sports. Many thanks for everything, and especially for your patience and willingness to answer every single question over such a long time.

Trip Planning for Italy:
August 2011
Hello everyone, I wanted to thank Sigalit for her patience and professionalism in consulting on travel itineraries. We traveled an eight-day route in northern Italy and purchased only a flight ticket and a rented car. The rest we left to Sigalit who planned a truly perfect travel route for us, including restaurants, sites, and hotels. Every place we reached by Sigalit's recommendation was simply a bingo. The explanation of the travel routes was in a way that was very easy to understand and without unnecessary complications. It should be noted that we know Sigalit only through the phone and the internet. And finally one small tip for travelers: we spend so much money on the trip so it's very worthwhile to get the advice because the price of the advice is truly small compared to all the trip expenses and it also saves a lot of money because of unnecessary complications. Thank you,
Yehudit and Itzik Ben Hamo, Kiryat Ata
Trip Planning for Austria:
August 2011
Sigalit, we would like to thank you for planning the trip to Austria. The trip was wonderful and it suited our character and requirements exactly. I have already passed your details to friends so that they too can enjoy the good service you provide. I have no doubt that from now on for any future trip I will turn to you. Thank you very much and hear from you.

Sigalit Bar's consulting service is unique and with great emphasis on the personal needs of the clients. We (a pair of parents and two teenagers) ordered through her advice for two trips in the United States - East and West - and we were very satisfied with her advice and the trip's specifications. At every stage we knew what we were heading for, and what the possible alternatives were.

Trip Planning for USA (Bat Mitzvah Trip):
August 2011
Hi Sigalit, we returned about a week ago from the USA. It was an amazing trip, much thanks to the professional and meticulous planning down to the smallest details and of course thanks to the service. The trip focused on my little daughter (Bat Mitzvah) and therefore out of 23 days we spent about 10 days in Orlando in an amazing villa. The prices are much cheaper compared to a hotel and as for the comfort there's nothing to talk about. We started the trip on Independence Day in Manhattan. From there we continued to Washington, Lancaster, Niagara Falls, and a flight to Orlando for all the Disney World parks, to SeaWorld, Universal Studios, and of course don't skip the Knight's dinner at night. Thank you Sigalit, without your planning and the helpful tips, we wouldn't have managed to enjoy the trip as we experienced. See you on the next trip.

Trip Planning for USA (Bar Mitzvah Trip):
July 2011
Hi Sigalit, I open with a huge apology for the long time I delayed in writing to you. The experience was and still is great. The diversity and intensities of the 5 weeks left us with the need to digest it slowly and what truly remains is the strong desire to continue the trip. In short, it was wonderful! And everything clicked like clockwork. We didn't get lost, we didn't miss flights and the enjoyment was truly amazing. Update - the visitor center in Washington moved. I believe you will find it easily. New Orleans is amazing and Memphis a delight. Washington and San Francisco charmed us. And the highlight - Bird in Hand and the Amish. We rode in the fields and between the farms on bicycles. Hershey factory received a lower score, but the landscape around was beautiful. Sigalit, there's no end to the charming places - I hope we will continue to use your help. We are happy for the opportunity given to us.
Thank you and a big hug from Orna and Gal Shoham Contact Email

Trip Planning for Western Canada:
I and my partner went on a trip of about three weeks to the Canadian Rockies and Alaska. We received a quick response from Sigalit tailored to our specific requirements, updated and tailored practical suggestions. current information including traveler feedback from their personal experience. Reasonable and fair prices. The written program we received with all the information even made it easier for us at Heathrow Airport in London when the immigration authorities wanted to know our plan and were impressed by the organization. All credit and thanks to Sigalit.

Dear Sigalit Bar, this is the second time you are planning our trip. The previous one was to Holland and the last one to the USA. We are already looking forward to the next trip. thank you for your dedication, knowledge, and endless patience, and for the desire to help at any time even when things didn't work out for us abroad. We thank you for the many tips that helped us, as as a single mother it is not simple to travel with two girls and you managed to direct and help. Thank you for everything and continue to be like that.

Sigalit hello, remember? USA trip Melamed family September 2010? Well so we returned and it was simply amaaaazing. We wanted to say thank you very much for everything. We managed even to surprise the skeptics among our children. A few small things we wanted to share:
1. New York: better to recommend the Rockefeller Tower for the view. 2. Ithaca: Swimming season closes early September. 3. Canada: No VAT refund anymore. Better to have local money. 4. Grand Canyon: National Parks pass is worth it. e. Bryce Canyon and Zion were beautiful. 5. Las Vegas: Kosher Food Information. You must have a car. 6. Orlando: The villa was great. We loved the Universal parks. Save parking receipts. Busch Gardens is best on weekends. Arizona parks are great in a motorhome. Sigalit - thank you again.

Hello Sigalit, 5 years ago you planned a wonderful month-long trip for us to the East USA. The tips and advice you gave us were very helpful. To this day the most significant experience is the 11 nights in a villa in Orlando per your advice. We are interested in planning another trip for August 2011. We are a family that prefers nature and special attractions. Which destination would you recommend for us? Is Thailand suitable for a 5-year-old? Much thanks,
