Steve and Ariel have excellent taste in hikes/activities around the country. Even after hiking with them for about 2 years (and living in Israel for 4 years, traveling here a lot for 15 years...), they still surprise me with creative excursions. Favorites so far: spelunking up north, hiking with the bedouins, Wadi Hasa, and Mar Saba.
The trips are well organized and have the atmosphere of a group of friends out for fun, rather than a company shepherding tourists. Commentary is knowledgeable and just opinionated enough so you know that they care, but not so much that they are preaching a point of view.
Thanks for always doing such a great job!
Our MBA school group had the privilege to be taken around by Steve this past week. He had the incredibly challenge of showing an overview of the Dead Sea and Jerusalem to us in ONLY one day. Besides the deep amount of knowledge he carried with him about the region, he was also very friendly and helpful to all of us. I can't wait now to go back to Israel for some other trips with him :)
Paula, hi and thank you for the kind words! It was definitely Finjan's pleasure to have been able to spend the day together. One day is never enough but we definitely maximized what we could while leaving things for the next visit :)
Good luck in your studies...and as I said, we never say goodbye. It's always 'See you soon'. Salaam'at
I've been on a handful of hikes with Finjan for about a year and each one has been terrific. Steve and Ariel do a great job setting up the itinerary and they always post the trips on their website with ample time. Highly recommended.
I've been with Finjan on 2 trips. Both of them were outstanding. Everything is very well organized. The group attracts ppl in their 30s from abroad who mostly live in Israel. The whole thing is targeted for english speakers. On both occasions, I enjoyed meeting the people in the group, the hiking trails and the explanations from the organizers.
Steve and Ariel are the greatest. I've been on several of their hikes, and they truly provide such an accessible and fun way to explore Israel. The hikes are suitable for all levels, and they often include stops at cultural areas as well (monasteries, villages, ruins). The other hikers are a very international group, and it's a great way to meet new people and see more of the area
A great way to discover the Neguev! Nice guide, beautiful landscapes... everything to disconnect from our daily work!
