Affinity Excursions was founded by Michelle Cheslow, a veteran of nearly a decade in the Jewish travel world, arranging missions, fund-raising tours and family trips. Michelle is known for innovative, creative, educational travel, impeccable customer service, an ability to anticipate her clients’ needs, a sense of humor and attention to details that ensure a flawless travel experience.
She brings those skills and talents to Affinity Excursions, designing boutique tours for explorers- travelers who are not satisfied by the standard sites and want to dig deeper into their affinities in Israel, the Holy Land and the Jewish world.
