I booked Egged for the Jerusalem Old and New Tour. They picked me up from my hotel and brought me to a central point, where I got on the bus for Jerusalem. My tour guide was Manesch? Not sure if I'm spelling that right. He was very entertaining, funny, and informative. He guided us through the walking tour by holding... More

Awful, awful, awful. Got collected at 7.15 for a tour to Masada and the Dead Sea. After going to a central Tel Aviv pick-up point, we waited for everyone to got on different coaches. Then stopped again in Jerusalem to pick people up there. Then stopped again at the Aheva cosmetic place (supposedly because passengers like to buy the product,... More

In May 2012 I went on the tour that went from Tel Aviv to Rosh Hanikra. First of all I called twice and left messages on the English voicemail twice to book the tour and no one returned my calls. It wasn't until my Hebrew speaking friend called that the tour was booked. Secondly I was made to understand that... More

I have booked Egged (old and new jerusalem) a couple of years ago and then I really liked it. This time the tour was much less well organized. There was a lot of waiting for other group members (both at the start and during the tour), and when we were in Jerusalem there was not all that much time, and... More

Apparently this used to be a legitimate tour company with real busses and tours, but not any longer. If you book through Eg’ged you will wind up on Bein Harim (whose booklet appears to mirror the website offerings of Eg’ged), so you might as well go directly to BH. As best we can tell, Eg’ged is now just a tour... More

The tour, which we booked through Egged was contracted out to a different group. It was disorganized and a big disappointment. They were late picking us up. The tour guide was frazzled and misinformed. At the end of our tour, half of the group was returning to Tel Aviv and we were left off in the middle of the city... More

Plus another couple booked their tour and also did not get picked up. Stay away from this Tour group. The drivers and guides... More

We took the tour from tel aviv via Jerusalem to Masada which was very very hot even in mid October .the guide was very entertaining and informative. We carried on to the Dead Sea where really 1 and a half hours was inadequate but still enjoyable to be recommended. Take your own food as the cafe at Masada is a... More

I booked this tour to show my family Israel. This was my one regret during our whole trip. Disorganized tours; terrible food; we got ripped off by everyone we met; and the hotel we stayed in over night was DISGUSTING!

A terrific tour! 44 people, which was kind of large but it didnt matter. We left the bus meeting point in Tel Aviv about 8am, traveled to Jerusalem to pick up the rest of the 44 tourists and headed to Masada with a brief stop at the Dead Sea to drop off a few people who were spending the day...
