Travel & Event Planning

We create extensive travel itineraries throughout Western, Central and Eastern Europe for both independent travelers, and families, as well as institutional/synagogue groups who require orientation and timely information that is not available either on the internet or in guidebooks that are often out of date. We let you know about current and upcoming art exhibitions, music and opera performances, and sports-related activities, including soccer, tennis, and racing cars

Assistance with Kosher Meal Preparation

Whether you choose to stay at an apartment or hotel, we assist with the purchase of kosher meals including for picnics and catered Shabbat lunches and dinners. We can arrange for a hostess to help you shop for your entire stay in Paris or on the French Riviera, as well as arrange for a kosher chef on a private yacht for a major event, such as a birthday, bar or bat mitzvah or wedding. We also work with Beth Din and Rav Rothenberg-approved kosher caterers who guarantee quality and a diversity of both Sephardic and Ashkenazic dishes as well as French gourmet menus that include foie gras, kosher lamb, kosher turkey, and kosher beef. Nor do you have to limit yourself to these cooking styles: we can also organize kosher sushi and kosher Chinese food.

Prestige Vehicles, Minivans, Yachts, Helicopters and Private Planes

Imagine touring in an air-conditioned Mercedes S Class sedan or Viano minivan with bottled water and candies. And being met by a VIP greeter who expedites your arrival by bypassing passport control. All that is possible when you book your trip through European Jewish Heritage Tours. But don’t feel you have to stop there. We provide guided helicopter tours both in Paris and on the French Riviera, and can arrange for you to fly for the day to different destinations in a private plane, whether it’s a kosher wine tour in Bordeaux or a short stay at the Festival de Cannes. Perhaps you would prefer for us to arrange a private yacht for you and your friends and family in the Mediterranean—you can also rely on our team to set this up.

Expert Local Guides

At European Jewish Heritage Tours, we take pride in selecting outstanding Jewish and Gentile guides who understand the importance of discovering Jewish heritage on European soil. Whether you are visiting the Sephardic routes of Jews in Spain and Portugal, or the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Dachau, we want to make sure that your tour is handled with the utmost in professionalism. Many of our local guides are Jews themselves, and therefore bring a uniquely personal sensibility to your travel program. 

Organization of Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and Weddings

For those of you who wish to organize a meaningful Jewish-oriented occasion in Europe, please note that European Jewish Heritage Tours is able to assist you in this endeavor. We can arrange Jewish weddings in Paris and on the French Riviera, as well as bar and bat mitzvahs in the United Kingdom, France, Italy and the Netherlands. Since this type of arrangement takes some advance planning, it is advisable to contact us as early as possible to set this up. We pride ourselves on handling everything in great detail—whether it’s a bat mitzvah in the footsteps of Anne Frank or a Jewish wedding in the Villa Ephrussi-Rothschild on the French Riviera.

A Turn-Key Approach

We pride ourselves on a turnkey operation from start to finish, so that you never have to worry about a single detail. This is critical when you are planning from far away and haven’t the time to meet your service provider.
