          Masada Dead sea relax
          I 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!

          Jerusalem in a rush
          It 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. Thanks

          Unforgettable 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!

          Trip 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.

          The 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.

          Great tour and amazing tour guide
          This 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.

          Horrible experience with Viator
          Horrible 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.

        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..)

        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.
