Review of the Jerusalem and Bethlehem day trip from Tel Aviv, with holy sites, practical tips, guide quality, timing, value, and drawbacks.

“It was excellent! Avi was so knowledgeable in his field and made sure the group was safe and enjoying as well. It was quite difficult as it was Shabbos but we managed to get the trip done and was overwhelmed of the cities that we have visited. The tour was so well done and time was allocated respectfully. I just booked another trip from you guys!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,014 reviews · from $120

Review of the Masada and Dead Sea day trip from Tel Aviv, with cable-car views, desert history, floating, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Try & take this trip late fall or spring, otherwise it’s too hot. We were taken to a south area of the Dead Sea. The place had bathrooms showers and a place to buy cold beverages. The water area was sectioned off by rope. The water were nasty and murky. I am an Israeli, and we’re ashamed!!!!! There were better places to visit & impress travelers. Masada has an area to walk up, or area to ride in a wire car. Waking is a long and tough distance, so make sure what you choose. Ben Harim was the company that were in charge of the trip. Not sure why everyone…”

“Der Trip zum Toten Meer war insgesamt durchwachsen. Am Ziel angekommen wurde alles das geboten, was im Angebot beschrieben war. Die Strandutensilien wirkten jedoch herunter gekommen und ungepflegt. Am meisten geärgert hat mich die Rückreise nach Tel Aviv über Jerusalem. In Jerusalem wurde die 19 Tourteilnehmer von einem geräumigen Reisebus umverfrachtet in einen Mini-Bus, der bis auf den letzten Platz besetzt war, unbequem, eng und im Grunde genommen kein Stauraum für Taschen, Rucksäcke usw. Alle Passagiere mussten ihr Gepäck auf den Schoß nehmen. Dies war im Angebot nicht erwähnt und somit entsprach die gebuchte und bezahlte Dienstleistung nicht den Tatsachen. Einige Gäste klagten anschließ...”
