About Five Star Tours
We Are Five Star Tours
Curating Meaningful Journeys to Poland and Israel
At Five Star Tours, we believe travel is more than visiting places — it’s about connecting to your heritage, honoring history, celebrating life, and creating lifelong memories. Whether you’re exploring Jewish heritage in Poland, discovering the spirit of Israel, or combining both for a transformative experience, we’re here to curate a seamless, personal, and unforgettable journey tailored just for you.
Our Mission
Our mission is to design deeply meaningful and highly personalized journeys that connect individuals, families, and communities with Jewish history, identity, and culture. Through carefully crafted itineraries, strong local partnerships, and deep cultural insight into both Poland and Israel, we create journeys that are as fun and inspiring as they are educational and emotional.
Who We Are
Five Star Tours specializes in curating meaningful journeys in Poland and Israel that balance history and discovery, reflection and celebration.
Each itinerary is designed with care, historical insight, and a deep appreciation for exploration, cultural connection, and personal meaning — honoring the past while embracing the present.
With deep-rooted knowledge and a network of trusted local providers, we ensure a high standard of service, comfort, and customization for every traveler.
Alongside my work as a travel curator, I’m also a psychotherapist supporting people after loss. This background brings a depth of understanding and sensitivity to the emotional dimensions of heritage travel, especially when journeys touch on memory, identity, and legacy.
I founded Five Star Tours out of my love for people, stories, and travel, and from the belief that meaningful journeys can be truly transformative. I partner with top-tier tourism providers who share my high standards of excellence and remain personally involved in each trip, ensuring that every detail is thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed.
I love what I do and truly enjoy getting to know the people I create for. I love traveling, deep conversations, listening to people’s stories, and making real connections. I also find joy in quiet moments — like sitting by the sea with a coffee and a chocolate croissant. I enjoy the creativity involved in planning each journey and shaping it to reflect my guests’ wishes. Every trip I design is personal — one I would want to take myself.
Let’s co-create a journey of purpose, discovery, and lasting memories—curated just for you.
We also understand that today’s families and communities are beautifully diverse. If your group includes non-Jewish family members, we thoughtfully incorporate experiences that make everyone feel welcome, while preserving the journey’s integrity and meaning.
Above all, we’re here to create thoughtfully curated journeys that foster connection, spark reflection, and leave you with lifelong memories.
Meet the Founder
Keshet Bar-Yadin
Founder & Travel Curator
As the founder of Five Star Tours, I bring a deeply personal and experienced perspective to every journey. Born in Poland and rooted in Jewish heritage, I made Aliyah at 19 and speak Polish, Hebrew, and English — allowing me to move naturally between cultures with fluency, authenticity, and care.
I specialize in meaningful Jewish heritage journeys to Poland for families, communities, and organizations, and in high-end family journeys to Israel that blend culture, connection, and unforgettable experiences. I hold a degree in Archaeology and Art History, and I’m a licensed tour guide to Israel and Jewish Poland through the Israel School of Tourism and Yad Vashem. Though I no longer guide, my training and deep familiarity with these destinations enrich every itinerary I curate.
