Who is Israel 4 All?
Israel for All is a pioneer in the area of accessible travel in Israel. Israel 4 All is a travel agency that arranges tours and travel as well as other recreation facilities for people with all kind of physical disabilities and special needs in Israel and abroad.
|
|
Are there any physically disabled/special needs travelers Israel 4 All does not accept?
No. We will naturally try to accommodate everyone, taking your specific disability into account.
|
|
Are clients permitted to travel on their own, or do they have to be accompanied by a companion, assistant, etc?
Nobody knows your capabilities better than you do, and for this reason we leave the decision of whether or not you need extra help or not up to you. It all depends on your abilities. In the example of a quadriplegic, very often your partner or family member will fulfill this role.
|
|
Do you provide assistants?
Yes. We would prefer clients to bring along their own assistant, but should you not wish to do this, we will happily provide an assistant for you at the standard going rates. Naturally it is more comfortable and less stressful for the you to have your own personal assistant. For those who do not really need personal care, but are concerned about lifting heavy suitcases, or helping push a wheel-chair up a large hill etc, we will find assistance for you.

Do you cater for those requiring special diets?
Yes, as long as we are informed in advance, we will arrange all types of special diets.
