Things to do in  Israel

I cannot say enough good things about this tour company. My family was travelling to Israel and while we really wanted to visit Petra, we were nervous and anxious about several things including the fact that we would be in a different country altogether, this was still during Covid times and none of our contacts in Israel could personally recommend any guides in Jordan. From the first time that I wrote to Andrea ( and believe me, I wrote her many, many emails to check and double check !), I could always count on her reply within a day- most often within a few hours. She was very patient, knowledgeable, organized and flexible to allow us to fashion the tour to suit our needs. Our driver, Hasan, was courteous and friendly. Mohammed, the CEO of this tour group, was extremely responsive when we decided to add an activity at the last moment and to cap it all, our guide at Petra( Mamoun) turned out to be a foremost Jordanian scholar of archaeology who is currently re writing the history of those magnificent buildings. The service and professionalism is beyond excellent and I can say that they made our Petra trip the most memorable part of the entire vacation.

Arrived via cruise ship. They docked overnight in Haifa. Our guide, Dina, was at the port, with a sign with our name on it, as with disembarked. She was absolutely a delight! She took us down to Jerusalem, showed us main sites and a great view. We went down Old City and felt safe the entire time. We were able to visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which was one of the main sites we wanted to visit. Dina was always considerate of our mobility issues. We spent the night in a hotel in the Jewish District. Again, felt safe the entire time. Dina joined us at our hotel the next morning. We visited the Western Wall and then headed north. Dina was very well informed, and we learned so much from her. The highlight of our trip was definitely being baptized in the Jordan. She had arranged a minister to meet us there. He was so awesome and made the experience something truly special. I will cherish the memories we made in Israel. Thanks Dina!

Our guide was knowledgeable and gave a good grasp of the city in a day! We started the day at a beautiful overlook, drove down the Mount of Olives (no stops at Gethsemane), toured the Old City and Church of the Holy Sepulcher. We drove through the new city and ended at the Holocaust Museum. You can’t see all of Jerusalem in a day or any of these sights to a great depth in this period of time, but we covered a lot of ground and this gave us an invaluable end-to-end view! Fortunately we were left with just a few other key sites to see on our 2nd day in the city. We even went back to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher that evening and it was much less busy and we got to see everything in the church, so I recommend that! For lunch, they took us to a restaurant in the Old City that had a standard menu to choose from, but it is not included in the tour price. You don’t have to eat at the restaurant, but let the guide know ahead of time if you want to go elsewhere and be sure to meet the group back at the restaurant on time. We found the cost to be comparable to other lunches we saw in Israel, so we didn’t mind staying. If you only have 1 day in Jerusalem or just want an overview of the city, this is great tour! The guides were knowledgeable, helpful and the tour very comprehensive!

We are a family of 4 (parents and two teenage kids) who wanted to see Israel at our pace in our way - everything - Every major site - Christian, Muslim, and Jewish. We had the most amazing experience on this private tour. Sasha organized three days of tours across all of Israel. We got to see everything we wanted to plus more that we did not even know we wanted to see. Sasha figured out quickly that we love to experience food along with culture and so he organized great sit down restaurants at every stop. We even got to experience a top Israeli 5 winery with multiple wines and amazing cheese and fruit spread!!! Sasha also figured out that we love history and stories as well as nature and took us to additional places to make sure we saw everything. I cannot recommend more highly this guide and tour. This made our once in a lifetime trip to Israel for our family of 4 the best it could have been!!!

I enjoyed the tour even though we had much rain during it. It gave me a chance to see a part of Tel Aviv that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Great guide and very interesting art. As much of the art was by people from many countries now living in Tel Aviv, you got a good idea of the immigration to Israel.

This was one of the most fun things on our entire trip in Israel. Our driver was great, very friendly and nice. He never rushed us and gave us tips/advice throughout the day. I loved how early things got kicked off, we were back in Jerusalem by the afternoon and still had the day ahead of us if we wanted it.

I took several tours in Israel and this was by far my fav. It’s nice to see Masada and get to know the history. And the Dead Sea is incredible - perfect amount of time to mud yourself and float and enjoy.

This tour is a good way to see the northern part of coastal Israel up to the Lebanon border. You see Roman ruins, Blue Grotto, see the defensive system in place to protect from Lebanon invasion and have a wonderful lunch.

Got to see numerous sites. Tour guide was very informative and quite knowledgeable on the history of each area. My favorite was Casarea and Rosh HaNikra. Would recommend if you have little time in Israel and was to see as much as possible.

I really enjoyed this tour. Not only did we get to see the birthplace of Christ, Milk Grotto and Shepards Field, we got an inside view of the West Bank including some of Banksy's work at the Israeli barrier wall the encloses Palestine. Our drivers in Bethlehem and our tour guides were excellent. We felt completely safe at all times.

It was a great day! Avishay was a great guide and explained with details many things about Israel. Excellent choice of tour if you don't have much time to visit the country.

The trip was great. It is a bit rushed for the Jerusalem part but that is because there is just so much to see. This trips gives you a great foundation for what to see in Israel and what to do for a future trip. The tour guide was great.

It was a great tour to see many historic places in Israel, very efficient visit. However, the pick up was not efficient at all. We were asked to meet at 5:50am but didn't get picked up for about an hour. Yael was the best guide in Israel tours that we joined, you are lucky if you have her!

This was a great experience. Border crossing was fast and the Palestinian tour guide had a great sense of humor in explaining the conflict between Israel and Palestine. I was happy to visit the tomb of the late Palestine leader and talk to the solders guarding the tomb.

You get to see alot in such a short period of time . These sites are a must see while traveling to israel.

Amazing adventure to visit Masada. Our tour guide was very thorough and provided lots of great information. The visit to the Dead Sea after Masada was very relaxing. A must-do experience while in Israel.

This was an excellent full day tour of the north west coastal area of Israel. Our guide Ozzy? was very knowledgable and despite his being 75 years old was full of energy! This was a very efficient way to see many sights in one day. This tour is highly recommended.

I would have liked a little more information about the stops. It would have been nice to include the tram ride to the mount of temptation. It was amazing to see the area and how the Israel and Palestinian guides worked together. Unforgettable.

Great tour overall. We got the chance to see so much of Israel in a day. Tour guide was knowledgeable. We were given a chance for free time at each location to explore and take pictures. Waited 30 min for others to arrive to begin tour. Compulsory lunch was extra 80 shekels for only lunch option.

An extraordinary tour and opportunity to see half of Israel. Our guide,Eliezer, is very knowledgeable and happy to share his experiences. I learned so much about the history and background to many of the conflicts in the area. I can really recommend this tour and Eliezer. Definitely a must when in Israel.
