Milk & Honey Tours: Discover Other Continents! Milk & Honey Tours is now offering its first destinations outside Europe! Many of our clients have asked us what tours we offered in other parts of the world and we were till now hesitant to offer places we could not reach ourselves regularly, in order to meet our guides and drivers.
But, when a very close friend of mine announced she settled in India, we came up with a great new tour idea – Jewish Tours of India! Check out our hot winter offer - 10 days of Jewish India! At more or less the same time, the curator of the Jewish museum in Curacao has toured with us here in Berlin and told us the fascinating story of Jews in the Country of Curacao. We agreed this almost secret Jewish destination should be uncovered. We would be delighted to arrange you a tour of Jewish Curacao. Please email us for more information.
