About Us

We're a nationwide, wholesale tour operator specializing in high-quality, cost-effective international travel arrangements. In business since 1981, we operate touring packages for groups and offer individual travel components for clients seeking the best possible services at prices that represent excellent value for money. We are members of ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents) and IATAN (International Airlines Travel Agent Network). We are bonded, licensed and carry all the appropriate insurance necessary to protect both our clients and ourselves, and we are proud of our excellent Dunn & Bradstreet rating.

Based in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, Friendly Planet is owned and managed by Peggy Goldman and her husband, Ilan Fink. As working partners, Peggy and Ilan, together with their professional staff, combine their many collective years of experience to provide their nationwide clientele with a very high degree of personal service. In fact, many of our first clients are still with us today.
