Our Story
Our company kct travels was created 12 years ago. Avikam Gitlin, the founder of the company, a man who loves to travel the world and has been almost everywhere on the globe, decided one day to give his family a proper vacation in the Far East, taking care of all the parameters related to kashrut. If it’s bringing kosher products, training the place, finding attractions and places that are suitable by sector.
And at that moment, he realized how much we needed someone to take care of everything for us and we wouldn’t have to worry about where we would do Shabbat, whether there was mixing in the place or what we could eat and where we could rest on the other side of the globe. And so on a bright day, the company, kct travels, was established. Today, 12 years later. The company has grown, God willing, and already has a large team of service providers, and today we go almost anywhere in the globe, with our team that will take care of you for the perfect vacation.
KCT vacations currently employs more than 50 chefs worldwide, kosher inspectors, logistics personnel, tour guides, collaborations with hotels and accommodations at the highest level in the world. Trains hundreds of businesses and makes them kosher just so that the kosher keeping customer can enjoy everything this world has to offer, kosher, available, and accessible to everyone. In almost every country we have our professionals, both local and non-local.
who know and know the place inside out, who will take care of our customers wherever they are in everything and anything. We also have at our disposal an endless number of companies that work with us and understand the need of the Torah-observant Jew and provide us with the service exactly as we need it, without harming or lowering the level of our vacation. We too can enjoy all the beauty given to us by the Creator of the world, and marvel at the great diverse world and its colors.
Great team

Testimonials
My husband and I were lucky enough to experience the best trip we have ever taken. The cities we visited were Prague, Budapest and Vienna. We planned this trip with friends and it was a privately guided, five star tour from beginning to end. It was superior in many ways:
1. The Kosher food provided was beyond our expectations. The variety of the menu, the outstanding presentation and the gourmet cooking was as good as eating in any of the top European restaurants.
2. The tours arranged were led by guides who were knowledgeable, interesting, pleasant and accommodating. We could not have asked for a better arrangement to maximize what we were able to see and experience, in each of the three cities in the given time allotted.
3. The hotels were excellent, accommodating and well located.
4. They also arranged for us to experience excellent Operas in both Vienna and Budapest.
The personal concern and attention of Avicam and the entire team made the trip very special and it is an experience that we will always treasure.
After being in Tuscany with you this past year it is impossible to think of vacationing without you! We have recommended you to many and hope to return for another trip….the hospitality, food and wine and great atmosphere gave us a feeling that not only were we in professional hands, but that we could feel like friends and family with your staff and enjoy ourselves in a most relaxing way. The surprises for dinner, the spoiling in the morning and the open kitchen gave us memories of feeling at home in Tuscany, something I am sure we would never have had experienced in a hotel.
Looking forward to meeting up again!
My husband Yedidia and I, and four of our eight Stern Gang (children) recently came back from our third safari in South Africa, which I must say was in a class of its own, thanks to our tour operator and chef Avicam.
Avicam organized the trip in a highly professional manner, from all flights , lodges, tours and more.
His price was very reasonable. He was also excellent with our 5 year old twins and held a baking class with them so that we could have a little time on our own. I can’t wait to plan another trip with him.
