Many travelers simply want us to incorporate some Jewish-related sightseeing in Europe, Asia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, such as important Jewish villages in Spain and Portugal, synagogues in Budapest, or the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Other travelers have us design entire private tours around locations of major historic significance, such as Auschwitz in Poland or Jerusalem in Israel.
