What is the difference between a featured tour and a custom tour?
We are travel specialists and proud to have a worldwide network of longstanding contacts. Our featured tours are scheduled to leave at specific dates and with a pre-set program that has been developed through years of experience. If that doesn’t fit your needs,  we can customize a tour especially for you. Then you can travel on dates that fit your schedule, and with an itinerary personally designed for your interests and enthusiasms. So why not treat your family to a special occasion, or bring friends along from your work, organization, synagogue or travel club?

Please note that hotels always charge a supplement for single rooms.

Can I bring my child or grandchild on a Momentum Tours trip?
By all means.  It might be one of the best things you ever did with your child or grandchild. You will develop even stronger bonds, and share special moments for many years to come. Since our tours vary in age-appropriateness, however, please always request whether your choice of tour is suitable for all children.

How do you handle airline special requests?
