About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Traveler013437413280 contributionsvery nice tourIt was a great tour! We have seen a lot of ancient places in and around Jerusalem, I also appreciate our guides! I do recommend without any reservationsWritten December 10, 2024

- Tom A0 contributionsQualityThe most amazing place to be, relaxing with family & friends. Very healthy for your skin. Enjoy your trip from Jerusalem.Written July 22, 2024
- 811martenp0 contributionsMasada Dead sea relaxI really enjoyed the trip! The guide Eyal was very provident and professional! I Learned a lot about the places we passed by. We went through the sites without any hurry. The things were explained in an very eupeptic manner. Although we passed through the Westbank in summer 2024, there was no impression of any danger on the way. Local people we found where very kind at all places. The stay at the beach was about 1.5h, enough to enjoy this extraordinary place. Thanks for a very nice trip!Written June 26, 2024
- 811martenp0 contributionsJerusalem in a rushIt was a really nice trip! The guide Abu Shai was very professional, a history professor giving courses in US universities, as he stated. And indeed a lot of historical background was given beyond the facts about the sites we visited. Furthermore information was always intended to be in a consistent (not always religious) context. I really enjoyed the discussions. Unfortunately, we went through Jerusalem with a great portion of hurry, not really giving us time to rest and contemplate as I would have preferred for such a magic place on earth. People were also told to don't stop at any stall or photographic site except the ones we were told by the guide. The excuse was that we had to pass by so many places in the given time frame. Finally we finished the tour in around 6 hours. Anyway I learned a lot and enjoyed what I found. ThanksWritten June 26, 2024
- esimisrael0 contributionsUnforgettable Masada and Dead Sea Adventure!This "Masada and the Dead Sea Day Trip from Tel Aviv" was incredible! The convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off, combined with comfortable air-conditioned travel, made the journey stress-free. Our guide's detailed explanations at Masada were enlightening, enhancing our appreciation of this historic site. Floating in the Dead Sea was a surreal experience, with optional therapeutic treatments available. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Israel!Written June 26, 2024

- francotheexplorer0 contributionsJerusalem &Betlehem TourGreat experience. Our tour guide is Itamar, and he is so knowledgeable about the whole place and adding some trivias. He is a great tour guide he truly connects with people and can communicate with different languages like english and spanish.Written June 18, 2024
- U5755YDadrianam0 contributionsAmazingThe help they gave us for the process at the border is very supportive, they make it easier in Procedure and all the travel was amazing, or course we’ll return 😊Written June 4, 2024
- F6783QFjimt0 contributionsTrip of a lifetime!Avi was our driver and tour guide. Easy efficient pick up and drop off. This was a 'return' trip for me after 53 years. Avi made the trip live up to all my expectations and more. We covered the Sea Level pit stop on the way down to the rift valley from Jerusalem. The cable car ascent of Masada and Avi gave us just the right depth of insight without any stress or rush. Then our time at Kalil Beach for our float in the Dead Sea and our self-pasting with Dead Sea mud was the best! A once in a lifetime experience not to be missed. It was a humbling honour to be blazing the trail for the return of tourism to Israel after the devastation wrought on 7 October 2023.Written May 31, 2024
- RLFCYCLE0 contributionsUnreliableThe operator cancelled the tour 12 hours beforehand and all the others were booked. Unacceptable and unprofessional. The guide then did not return text messages. Stay away from this.Written May 26, 2024
- katlinw20240 contributionsGreat tour and amazing tour guideThis trip was the highlight of my time in Israel. Itamer was an amazing tour guide- his knowledge of history, Israel, and the Bible all fused to make this trip really memorable. All the sites we visited were amazing, there was ample time at each one but it didn’t feel like we were there for too long, and Itamer did a great job conducting the tour in multiple languages for different people. He truly cared about each person having a great experience. Visiting Jesus place where he grew up and did most of his ministry was truly incredible and the price for the tour was great. If you go, download what’s app because they will communicate with you that way for the pick up and drop off.Written May 21, 2024
- shacharg20240 contributionsI'm an Israeli, love to travel different places in our beautiful little country. Masada is important from me historicallAmazing place! I will visit again for sure! The view is astounding, the history background is truly admiring. I loved it so much!Written March 26, 2024
- blancahavila0 contributionsHorrible experience with ViatorHorrible tour to Valle de Guadalupe We bought a tour to Valle de Guadalupe, from a supposed “Tour company.” They sent us 4 people plus the driver in a 4 persons sedan car, my daughter had to go in the middle for 6 hours. The driver was talking on the phone back and forth, when I told him that I thought it was dangerous for us to do it, he said that he had a lot of experience driving 8 wheelers, so he didn't stop. I don't think it's allowed to take tourists this way. So unprofessional, didn't know anything about the area, he just transported us to the destination in the most uncomfortable and dangerous way. At the last point, the vineyard where they gave us a cheese board, he sat at our table and loudly talked on her cell phone, taking away the only pleasant experience of the entire day. What he did share with us, was all the dangerous places in the area. Although the driver tried, this company is not a professional tour company. We brought a bigger and safer truck, if we had known how bad it would be, we would have left on our own.Written January 1, 2024

Wonderful, well planed, intensive, and memorable tour from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, finishing with the Museum of Holocaust. We experienced it with joy mostly because of our very competent and kind guide Daniel Gabriel. We got a lot of professional historic information during very limited time, and we highly recommend this tour and this guide.

The tour was very interesting. Pick up at the Hotel in Tel Aviv as planned worked fine. Our guide Yoav gave us lots of interesting informations about the places we visited and historical background infos. An absolutely excellent guide who made our day.
The absolute only negative point that I have to give, otherwise I would have rated it a five star tour, is the stop in the souvenir shop where they drag the whole group in. Beside that, an absolutely excellent tour.

We are most appreciative that you have posted this favorable review. Your guide Yoav is indeed worthy of such feedback for his pleasant manner, interesting commentary, and tour skills. The shop stop is indeed a group stop, also for bathroom facilities and for some travelers the only opportunity to purchase what they wish.
this being said, One of course is not forced to purchase anything,! (These shop owners have been closed for 2 years, and one can accept they too, wish to return to
business..)

Very well organised tour. We were lucky to get Yoav as guide. He was very informative and balanced when talking about the history and the challenges of today.
The tour was efficient and we got much information and saw and experienced many things during this limited time.

We booked this tour as we needed transportation to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv and an introduction to the main sites in Jerusalem, especially the old city. Our tour guide Yoav was outstanding! Whereas we had a previous tour with another guide from Bein Harim who was very average and did not work hard live Yoav. We can attest that Yoav was welcoming, entertaining, informative and caring about his customers. You always knew what to do and when. He was a constant stream of stimulating information during the entire tour so we were never bored or wondering what something was about. If you are going on Bein Harim, I recommend that you research the tour guide first, and be sure to pick the ones who have rave reviews. It makes a big difference in the tour.

I went today, which is a Friday. It was really crowded but saw many historic sites such as Kind David's tomb and the Western wall. On Fridays you cannot get into the Dome of the Rock so missed out on some of the tour. Our guide Koskas Sivan was the best. She is studying archaeology and was so full of information and very creative in what she showed us. They pick you up right from your hotel and then change to a nice van depending on the tour. It includes a place to charge up your cell. Plan on a 5 hour day. The shops were not good here so would stay away from buying anything.

Hello,
As far as I understand this price includes also transportation back to Tel Aviv, am I right? Also is there are any other charges, for example tickets that we have to buy in order to enter in the places that we will visit during this half day tour?
Thanks and best regards
