We view each passport stamp as a testament to our curiosity in nature, culture, cuisine, and adventure.
Expect More. Do More. Feel More.
IWorld of Travel is a family legacy company. Our story began more than fifty years ago when our founder’s father and mentor, Ady Gelber, pioneered tourism to Israel and the Middle East at a time when such travel was extremely rare. Today, we continue to operate in his spirit, enjoying long-lasting and trusting relationships around the world. We vet our partners carefully and we take our responsibility seriously to curate the most memorable trips. Our tagline, Expect more. Do More. Feel More. is a simple message with a dual meaning. We expect more of ourselves so we can do more for you, our travelers and travel advisors. And you, in turn, expect more from us and feel more on our trips.
Each year we become more innovative and creative. Our team of destination experts serves every region across the globe—Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Israel, and the Middle East—with no limit to the number of custom itineraries we craft. We strive to inspire travelers with distinctive destinations, epic experiences, and journeys designed specifically for the family, group, or individual traveler—journeys that are as personal as the food you eat, the friends you keep, the clothes you wear, and the car you drive. We go above and beyond, with singular service, boutique amenities, first-hand knowledge, and insider access to ensure inspiring, insightful, and immersive voyages.
We are truly 100% committed to tailoring itineraries that create a kaleidoscope of wondrous experiences, beyond dreams, to last a lifetime. Memories that live on in our soul and continue to enrich us, years after we say our goodbyes.
We travel not to escape life, but so life does not escape us.

Elite Service: A Commitment to Excellence
At IWorld of Travel, Elite Service is not just a promise—it’s a testament to our dedication to crafting seamless and exquisite travel experiences. The new emblem of this commitment shines in the form of our Elite Service logo, a symbol of the meticulous care and attention to detail we pledge to every facet of your client’s journey.
Our Pledge to You
From the initial stages of creating your client’s adventure to the final moments of their trip, our Elite Service Guarantee ensures that every step is handled with the utmost precision and personalized attention. Thirty days prior to your departure, we initiate a meticulous review process, inviting you, your client, and our Elite Service team to a comprehensive Teams meeting. This collaborative approach allows us to refine your itinerary, ensuring all your desires and needs are not just met but exceeded.
During this 30-45 minute consultation, we won’t bog you down with the minutiae but will focus on the highlights, the special touches, and the crucial details that set our service apart. We capture your client’s queries and wishes, bringing them back to our team for swift and thorough action. Grace, a cornerstone of our Elite Service team, will then oversee the final touches, from connecting your clients with our on-ground partners via WhatsApp to reminding them of the critical importance of travel insurance for peace of mind.
We set the stage for an experience that anticipates the unexpected, equipping you and your clients with direct contacts for immediate assistance and a reassurance that our support is unwavering—each step of the way. This philosophy of comprehensive care harks back to a legacy of exceptional service, a value ingrained in our history and carried forward with pride.

Elite Concierge Service
Elite Concierge Service is an elevated level of engagement that provides you with a dedicated concierge to assist with your bookings, working directly with your clients on your behalf to provide support for time-consuming FIT bookings, handling the entire process for you, at no charge. In addition to this, we are dedicated to supporting your assets and collateral, as well as landing pages, for any private groups or charters.
IWorld of Travel will determine if you qualify for a dedicated Elite Concierge. You may also request to have a concierge at no cost.

Your concierge will be the point person working with us, our European office, and our partners around the globe. When you introduce your client to the concierge, you can let them know that this service is something you have earned and are glad to pass it along to them. From this point forward the concierge will take the lead, gathering all the necessary information and contacting our partners, copying you on all emails and providing updates as they occur. You will receive the proposal prior to your client and confirm your desired commission to include with the booking. The concierge will then send the proposal to the client and handle all the payments and terms directly with them, as well as any special arrangements, reservations, etc., and confirm a final doc review with our Elite Service team, the client, and you.

Dinner was delicious and they took good care of us. Thank you for arranging that!
“
Wow, just WOW! What an amazing sailing on the Gemaya, I cannot wait to get back to Greece on this special vessel. The staff was so attentive to all our needs and totally understood our little quirks and requests right away. All the food was unforgettable, fresh, and abundant, I was so sad when I returned home, and no one was cooking for me or bringing me cappuccinos when I woke up. I cannot say enough about the wonderful ports and beautiful swim stops that just kept getting better and better each day. The captain never shipped a beat with the itinerary adjustments due to weather, we were never disappointed with any of the changes. This experience is a MUST do for families and friends’ groups.
“
We wanted to personally thank you both for putting together a fantastic trip. Your work, plus the incredible monitoring of IWOT made the trip as seamless as one could hope for.
“
Thank you so much. This trip would not have been what it is without you. Thanks again.

We are so happy to have Miroslav as our driver throughout as he is an amazing wheel man and a darling person!!!! We are enjoying his company so much!!!!
Many thanks!!!!

I am so grateful for the experience iworld of travel gave me. It was the perfect mix of relaxed luxury, quiet moments taking in history and culture, and active participation in nature’s beauty. The crew was amazing, and I am so excited to work with a company that I believe in. Thank you!
“
Your assistance made our trip very special. Your help is so appreciated. Thank you! Take care.
“
Again, I want to send you my appreciation for all the hard work you’ve done for my client. He appreciates the consistent communication that you have provided. Truly, I am so glad we have been able to work with you.
“
I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team for the excellent support you provided in assisting my clients during their recent travels to Italy. From the initial planning stages through their time abroad, your attention to detail and dedication to service made a tremendous difference in ensuring everything went smoothly.
I truly appreciate your partnership in helping me design such a memorable experience. Your expertise, responsiveness, and care contributed greatly to their satisfaction and to the success of the trip.
I look forward to continuing to collaborate on future journeys and am grateful to have such a reliable partner in Europe.

Our tour guide Alessandra was wonderful. Great tour, perfect experience.
“
Recovering from a very long day of travel yesterday but wanted to thank you for helping us put together an amazing trip to Tuscany!!! We had so much fun and everything was just perfect. Our driver, Roberto, was awesome and so accommodating. The B&B in Cortona was very charming and the owner Paola was lovely. She also has a restaurant on property, which was delicious, and gave us a cooking lesson on Thursday. So amazing!!! The day trips and wine tastings were wonderful. Everything was just so smooth and easy and better than we could have imagined. THANK YOU to you and IWorld Travel!!

Sailing on the Gemaya Yacht through Greece was the experience of a lifetime. Huge thanks to my vendor IWorld and their team, who went above and beyond to ensure we were thoroughly taken care of. The Gemaya Yacht exceeded our expectations. Despite being an old military ship, its exterior belies the luxurious experience inside. Once on board, it feels like stepping into a five-star boutique hotel. The dining area and family room exude a homely warmth, while the spacious outdoor area offers ample room for relaxation and enjoyment. The menu the chef put together for our seven-night cruise was a dream for anyone that delights in the culinary world, and the staff was out of this world. By the end, they felt like family. The swim stops were a highlight—paddleboarding and spending time with our group was incredibly enjoyable. Oh, and let’s not forget the top-shelf open bar!
“
We had an absolutely lovely dinner! Great way to end a fantastic vacation. We are ready to go home with many wonderful memories. Thank you so much! Please send our gratitude to Michael!
“
We had a fantastic tour today…the guides were great, there was so much knowledge about the Acropolis! I think that Stelios, the archaeologist, was the most informed guide we have ever had!
“
This was a well planned itinerary and extremely helpful for selling Croatia on both land and yacht. I am thrilled to have gained a new partnership and cherish the memories created.
“
Gemaya is Gemazing! There is no other way to describe it. This yacht ticks the box on all the aspects one is looking for in a family vacation or friend getaway. From the stellar staff looking after your every whim (They even knew my exact coffee order by the afternoon on day 1), the delicious homemade food cooked by the Chef, comfy cabins, inviting lounges and outdoor spaces to the stunning Greek Islands we visited. We truly relaxed, played, swam, ate, drank and just lived life. This was truly a trip of a lifetime; an unbeatable experience that everyone needs for their soul.
“
We are finishing dinner on our last evening. Everything was fabulous!!!! Thank you so much for great arrangements!!! We had a truly wonderful trip!!!!
“
Very worth my time professionally! I cancelled my wedding anniversary trip and went as I had a gut feeling and my gut was right. I know this is the start of much success. I am excited to have a new product I can be passion about. To me that is the hard part as I feel its easy to sell once you are personally passionate about a product. Thank you for the opportunity!
“
Thank you all for planning this fabulous trip for us. We especially appreciate the on-the-fly adjustments and daily updates to keep us on schedule.
“
First of all I wanted to say a BIG thank you to all of you for bending over backwards for this family. From the 24 hour support to coming in at the end with the private transfer from the concert, you guys are absolute rock stars!
“
Our planned tours with drivers and guides are over and now we just have a little time to explore on our own. Wayne is the one who wanted this trip but I am coming away saying Poland is my favorite country to visit! The guides possessed and shared with us a wealth of knowledge not only of the history of Poland but also of the Jewish people both in Poland and throughout the world. Still not over but just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for all you have done to make this an unforgettable experience!
“
We had a wonderful time today at the winery, really nice people and very knowledgeable as well as talented. Thank you 😊
“
The tour of the truffle farm was fantastic. It’s a little far from Nice but otherwise, I would recommend you book it!
“
By far the best FAM I’ve been on! It was packed with unique experiences, and the handpicked agents in attendance became family.
“
Kim, Tjasa, Grace, and any others on the team– we returned safely to Virginia last night and want to express our deepest thanks and appreciation for your assistance through the planning and execution of our vacation. It was an extraordinary trip that we will talk about and share memories for a lifetime. You all helped make it such a pleasant experience. Wishing you all a safe and happy summer. Cheers!
“
It was very well organized and educational. I think it was a great experience and increased my knowledge of Croatia and the ability to sell the destination to my clients.
“
I’m always looking for something unique! I’ve been in the travel business for almost 30 years selling group and charter vacations on large ship cruises, all-inclusive resorts, river cruises and land tours.
I recently reserved the Gemaya for a 60th birthday cruise that my friends and family will never forget. I LOVE this boutique yacht!
The Gemaya gives you that luxury experience at a price point that is hard to match. Five well-appointed staterooms with customizable itineraries in Greece and swim stops in beautiful spots that most ships can’t reach. Five-star dining, open bar, and plenty of space to curl up with a book, soak in the hot tub or chill out with a cocktail under the stars.
I’ve been searching for something like the Gemaya, and this cruise checked all the boxes.
“
It was an incredible trip – one of our best. From accommodations to guides to transfers, everything was seamless and wonderful.
“
I wanted to reach out to tell you how much my clients and I appreciated this review. After we got off the call, they shared with me that they felt so appreciative to be working with your company, and don’t feel like they are alone on their trip, feel like family. Thank you!
“
Arrived at the beautiful Hotel Bernini in Florence! Thank you so much for the beautiful hotel upgrade. We will enjoy this immensely I have no doubt. 😏🙏🥰 I don’t even know what to say OMG 🙏, this was so unnecessary, but we are overjoyed and elated… First of all to be in this gorgeous country, and in this beautiful town of Sorrento ❤️ Words cannot express our appreciation and gratitude for what I know was a huge upgrade. Thank you seems hardly adequate but we are having a beautiful trip and it’s a gorgeous day here, we will make the most of our time here as we have with everywhere else! Aside from the gorgeous suite this hotel is stunning all by itself.🙏❤️😍🥰🎉🇮🇹💌
“
We had a wonderful time. The tour guide yesterday was beyond expectations. Everything from hotel to excursions was great– thank you very much!
“
All the guides have been very good but the one we just left in Łódź was beyond wonderful! She knew so much history that Wayne knew from his Grandmother, Yiddish songs, etc. Now on to Warsaw!!
“
I just wanted to say thank you for all your help in planning the trip! My parents had a wonderful time!
“
Korcula today– Cruise is magic! Crew and ship are fantastic. They are going above and beyond. Stjepan helped set up booking for our entire group at the rooftop bar with a ladder. HUGE crescendo moment! Nataša will be a lifelong friend. My guests adore her but most of all me!
“
Thank you so much Grace, you’re a miracle worker 🌞. The guide is great! We’re having a fantastic time ❤️.
“
I planned to send you an email about how wonderful my trip was. I can’t thank you enough for the fantastic service and experience. I loved my guides, especially Eva, my Tokyo guide. Kaiko, my Kyoto guide was also wonderful. Our drivers were great and in particular, our Kyoto driver.
Everything went so well.
I would love to return very soon. I might do another trip next year.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
“
This trip totally exceeded our expectations!! We loved every aspect & the entire crew! We loved the girls who kept our cabin & yacht so clean. The food was EXCELLENT! And Boris… how fun & kind he is. We want to come back & cruise again.
“
Similar for “special invite fams”. But was better in the sense of the amount of people from your company that were there so we could get to know them. MUCH better than “general fams” offered to anyone.
“
I wanted to say thank you to everyone in this group for making our vacation absolute perfection. Peru is a magnificent country. From highlands to lowlands, every single person was friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and truly amazing. Words cannot describe how grateful we are for all the guidance, text messages and advice. Our guide Sharin was SO GOOD to us! We absolutely love her. She is a wonderful guide. Sharin was responsive and thoughtful, as well as, extremely helpful to get us medicine when we had altitude sickness. Thank you so very much!
“
Thank you! Everything has been wonderful. Thank you so much! Flavia was great. Antonella and Francois were fantastic today. Please let them know how much we appreciate them all!
“
I want to thank you and let you know what a wonderful trip my clients had in India. Not only did they enjoy the sights and culture of India but they were very taken and appreciative of the services that IWorld provided with guides, drivers, and hotel choices throughout the trip. They are both very experienced and sophisticated travelers, so when they let me know that all aspects of a trip were excellent, I know that high standards were met. Thank you for making my clients some wonderful memories and for making me look good.
“
The IWOT/GTM Croatia FAM provided an abundance of opportunities for the agents participating to interact with knowledgeable guides, tourism boards, and ground operators for creating customized itineraries on land and sea for selling Croatia. It was a valuable experience for getting an over view of all components that IWOT can offer. I’m thrilled to have this partnership for establishing future travel for my clients. THANK YOU!!!
