Israel · JERUSALEM TOURS
Jerusalem rewards a guide and punishes a loose plan. Build a first visit out of these 15: the Old City on foot, the wider city by bus, and the day trips that run out to the Dead Sea and Bethlehem from here.
Review of the 10-hour Masada and Dead Sea tour from Jerusalem, including cable-car views, Qumran, lunch, swimming, costs, and practical tips.
“A wonderful day with great guide and driver. Thank you Dorit and Ahmad!!!”
Review of the Masada and Dead Sea day trip from Jerusalem, with cable-car views, desert history, floating time, costs, and practical tips.
“Not enough time spent at Masada, didn’t get to see majority of the sights. Whole day feels like they’re trying to sell you on something or another. Lunch is forced at a restaurant/gift shop in Qumran which is overpriced and not good. Overall a cheaper way to see Masada and the Dead Sea than a private tour but you have to put up with a lot of nuisances.”

Explore Masada by cable car and float in the Dead Sea on a 10-hour Jerusalem tour with transport, guide, and entrance fees included.
“Almost everything was awesome (highlighting the experience by itself and the guide Dani, who was an amazing ingredient of the plan). Only thing to maybe consider is the lack of clearer instructions to get to the meeting point because we didnt know that a common taxi was waiting for us in the noticed meeting point to take us to another meeting point; so we waste a lot of time and almost lost the bus because we were expecting for a bus or something similar and not a cab. Everything else, so good.”

“They had to come and pick me up at my Hotel The Imbal and they didn't stop by. I had to take a taxi to CityView and I paid $25 I hired a guide in Spanish and after lunch tourists joined and the ITAMAR guide started speaking in English!”
Review of the Masada, Ein Gedi, and Dead Sea day tour from Jerusalem, with honest advice on costs, timing, hikes, guides, and value.
“The tour guide was excellent. Ein Gedi was too strenuous for us and should not been done. Older people and overweight people should avoid. The bus driver was drooling over 2 Muslim girls and needed to be more attentive to the other tourists on our bus. He definitely needed to be more professional. The Dead Sea was great. Ein Gedi is a definite skip.”
Review of the Jerusalem and Bethlehem day tour, with Holy Land sights, practical tips, costs, walking demands, guide quality, and drawbacks.
“I wouldn't wish this trip on my worst enemy. From the beginning, I knew it wasn't going to be great. We got picked up promptly at 8:30am, as promised. However, it took AN HOUR to get everyone in the correct vans and the tour to start. From there it felt very rushed. The guide was giving us information about things very obvious to anybody who knew anything religious I grew up going to church every week but would not say I know much about the bible. However, I pretty much knew most of what she went into detail about - and the things she did not explain when asked about…”
Climb Masada at sunrise, hike Ein Gedi, and float in the Dead Sea on a 10-hour tour from Jerusalem. Practical tips, costs, and honest advice.
“The hike was great and wanted to spend more time in Masada. Because some of Ein Gedi is closed we spent 2.5 hours at the dead sea which was too much time. The trip would have been perfect if more time were given to Masada than swimming.”

Explore Ramallah, Jericho, Qasr al-Yahud, and Bethlehem on a 10-hour West Bank tour from Jerusalem with lunch and a local guide.
“Great experience, very worthwhile to see the Palestinian side of the line. The food at lunch was good, the tour guide funny and insightful, and the separation wall very moving. Ramallah was a good example of a Palestinian city. Jericho was a quick stop to see some ruins and Read more”
