Caeserea and Rosh Hanikra Day Trip from Jerusalem

Guide got off in Tel Aviv and left us alone on bus to Jerusalem. Driver TOTALLY lost and was unsafe.

I am waiting my refund, waited hours for the tour company and they never showed up. Viator I need my 244usd back

Jacob did an awesome job to get us a fun and informative tour on a rainy day. The sites and sights were very interesting and beautiful. We really appreciated Jacob's humor, perspective, and knowledge. Highly recommend!

The guide Daniel was excellent and gave many insights and pointed out things along the way. Tour very much worth the money!

Great tour with Dan Porges. It was very hot and there was a lot of walking and sights to see so some prepared! We got a lot of history, which is what we wanted, and context. Lunch was good and served family style which may not work out for everyone.

Great trip! We have learned and saw a lot! Amazing sights!!

I would not recommend booking this tour through Viator. There were problems for all on the tour from the beginning of pick up until we arrived back at our hotel 3 hours late. They were late to pick up at our hotel, but we heard from others on the tour with us that they had been picked up by taxis and transferred multiple times before we actually began the tour. Being in a foreign land, this does not exactly bring a relaxed tone to touring. Our guide Danny was very arrogant and controlling. He spoke to us as if we were doing him some type of favor for being there. Aftr they pick you up, they take you to a convenience mart where touring clients are transferred about for the convenience of the company providing the tour, Ben Harim Ltd. They then informed us that they were over booked. How is that even possible since it is all electronically booked? They wanted to know if anyone on the tour would be willing to take the tour another day. As people on a schedule while traveling no one could do this or wanted to. We proceeded to the first local, Caesarea. This was a great place to see. We were kept on the move, no dilly dallying or time to basically even take pics sometimes. The next stop was The Hospitaliar fortress at Akko. This was interesting, but again, although they had many markets with souveniers, we were only allowed to go in one shop that clearly our guide had an agreement with - no shopping for us. Also, we had to eat at the place Danny selected. They did not have any food I wanted. We went to Haifa to see the Bahai Gardens. We drove up a steep drive to the top of Haifa. You could get out and over look the garden, but not go in. A waste of time. We then went to the caves at Acre. Ok, but not really that great. We headed back and once again, we stopped at the convenience mart on the way home, where the guides moved people around and sent them in whatever way they wanted to get them back to their hotels. One of the ladies was so terrified of being sent in a cab that she was screaming. No worries, this did not bother our guides, they just kept going. I would say no to this tour It was not relaxing or that great.Rent a car or hire your own guide to take you. Did I mention that we arrived back 3 hours late? oh yeah, I did. :

This was a very action packed tour that covered a lot of ground in one day. The pickup procedure in Jerusalem was a bit roundabout -- but other than that , everything was top notch. The tour guide from the local tour company Bein Harim Tours was really excellent. Well worthwhile.

Knowledgable tour guide. Beautiful scenery. We will never forget this amazing tour!

I was told to be at the meeting spot at 5:50 am and wasn't picked up till 6:20am. Then I boarded a bus to Tel Aviv, where I had to get on another bus, this one tiny, and the only seats remaining were at the very back with almost no window. This made for a very uncomfortable trip, and I spent most of the afternoon feeling sick and lightheaded. There were too many sights planned for the day's trip, which gave it a rushed feeling. I also didn't appreciate that I felt pushed to eat at a restaurant and pushed to buy things at a copper studio. Again, the sights themselves were interesting, but too much was planned and the transportation/driving was dreadful. On the way back to Jerusalem, the driver complained to the tour guide, which was a very negative way to end the trip.
