Yaron had a dream: to open a Tour Operator in Israel. Tourism Guide trained and authorized by the Ministry of Tourism of Israel, Sociologist, Anthropologist, Political Scientist has always been fascinated by Cultures, Ethnicities, Peoples and Religions.
Mastering Hebrew, English, Spanish and Portuguese, he traveled the world to get to know what he loves most: The Human Being. He explored Europe and the 3 Americas, whether to revisit its origins in Uruguay, to live a period in an indigenous tribe in Chile, to discover the charms of Europe or to taste a little bit of the "American Dream".
But Israel, as he says, is the Place he calls Home. The Land where he was born and that he loves, the country he knows from north to south, from east to west; it is with its history that it identifies itself; it is his Landscapes that move him. And that is why he chose to Enable everyone to know Israel up close, in all its Plurality, Diversity, Wealth, as its Mission.
In 2001 his Paths would cross with Ilana's - Brazilian and Israeli, Educator and Political Scientist and from that moment onwards they shared the same dream.
In 2005 the Tour Operator "Bendito Tours" was born - in the same year that under the Hupá (Ritual Tent) the new Benedykt Family was born. From the surname to the origin of the company name - but also from the Prayer and Hope that everything we did would be Blessed and would Bless.
For 2020, we had planned Big Celebrations and New Projects to Celebrate the Company's 15 Years. Life, however, surprised us with a New Reality. We were forced to Reinvent ourselves, Re-plan, Readapt, Reorganize ourselves, Put into practice all our Abilities and put all our Abilities to the test.
And we did it! We keep in contact with our Partners and Friends; We continue planning our Projects, Educational Programs and Terrestrial Packages - at another pace, at another speed, for a Long Term - but with the same Affection, the same Personalized Care, always knowing each and every one of our Clients.
