I did three tours (four days) with Bein Harim as they were highly recommended. Be advised not all tour guides are created equally. I had one perfect guide from among the 5 that I had. there were others who were racially or religiously insensitive and one who was simply rude and professional. Also i was only told that my tour was cancelled 12 hours before the trip and they put me on another tour which was obviously not what I had planned for. Very unprofessional showing by the main office and they were not very apologetic to their errors. The next time I am here, I will have to think hard about going with this company again.

On March 9th my husband and I made this tour with Amil as a guide. The tour was super organized, we were able to see so many things in one day! Amil was very kind, pleasant and provided core information in well-balanced way, which is not easy, as travelers are always asking some tricky questions related to geo-politics. We have best impressions and recommend Ben Hairim tours.
Fantastic trip, definitely got to...

Fantastic trip, definitely got to see a side of Israel that is so often overlooked but is a major part of both its history and its present. Tour guide was very knowledgable and helpful.

One downside is if you do a different tour in the area you're going to end up at the same place for lunch and there weren't a lot of options. Would have preferred options for lunch given the small size of the tour group.
Everything was very well organized...

Everything was very well organized. We were lucky to travel with small group- only 5 tourists.
Our guide Ori was extremely knowledgeable. Excellent day spent with him. Hotel for overnight was more or less OK. Nothing special.

Day trip to Nazareth, Jordan river and sea of Gallilea was great and very interesting with good tour guide. Golan heights was not as great as it's very repetitive from the precious day.Hotel was not great and not in Kubuttz, just a hotel next to high way with only 1 restaurant which is terrible.
