“Our guide was very good and knowledgeable, but the tour wasted 2 full hours on tourist trap shops that were ridiculously overpriced. The lunch place was not good either and overpriced even for Israel. It didn’t cover anything we couldn’t see on our own. 3 stars for guide and a/c bus”

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 258 reviews · from $106

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.”
