Want to thank you personally for an absolutely extraordinary experience. Of course all that we saw and visited was amazing. You, however, were the magic sauce that moved the experience to a whole other level. Your thoughtfulness, compassion, humor, good spirited heart, interest, knowledge, and enthusiasm were infectious. I hope that you received as much and more than you so generously gave of your time, energy, and spirit. In warm appreciation and deep gratitude for the blessing that is you.

I have taken many group trips over the last 15 years and I can honestly say the 2015-16 Best-Day Adventures New Years cruise is at the top of the list– due to your efforts. Bill’s personality, care for the participants, energy level and, overall coordination cannot be replicated. You are one of a kind and Ayelet (and the Jewish single population) are very lucky to have you. Thank you for all that you do and all that you are.

Everything was taken care of for us: great hotels, excellent comfortable transportation, fun, informative tours and insights, made terrific friends, and just so much more! It was ‘fala-FILLED’ with so many great activities and such delicious foods!! Traveling with Best Day Adventures was the Best Decision Ever!!

A little bit about Tour Leaders Bill and Karen
Bill Cartiff
For over 30 years, Bill has dedicated himself to leading travel, following his passion and living by the adage that “Not all who wander, are lost”. He has led thousands of Jewish travelers to over 70 countries around the globe, and has partnered exclusively with Ayelet Tours since 2013. As “BDA” continues to grow, Bill never underestimates the meaning and power of helping people explore the world. He is committed to providing a carefree travel experience with personalized attention, action-packed itineraries, a warm & welcoming environment and meaningful memories meant to last a lifetime.
Karen Elfenbein
Karen acquired the travel bug at a young age and has been exploring new places, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures ever since. In 2016, Karen joined Best-Day Adventures as an assistant to Tour Leader Bill Cartiff. Together they have led scores of Jewish travelers from the beautiful Caribbean Seas to the rain forests of Costa Rica and from the richness of Israel to the charms of the European cities. Karen’s excitement of experiencing what the world has to offer is exemplified by her outstanding customer service skills, tour leadership abilities and her ardent desire to create enriching travel experience for others. She is driven to lead other across the globe by this favorite quote: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream. Discover.”
