We originally booked a tour of Masada and The Dead Sea and soon after booking Michael phoned me to chat through our adventure. The day before the trip he contacted me again to advise me that the temperature was predicted to be 43 degrees (but will feel much hotter) and that it would be a good idea to change our plans as walking around Masada would be far too difficult in the heat. He gave us several options and we decided to do this trip instead. We visited a nature reserve where we walked through a cool stream, my boy rode a camel in the desert, we visited a baptismal site and bathed in the Jordanian river within spitting distance of Jordan and we had an extreme 4wd adventure of the Judean desert which was absolutely stunning. We had a homemade picnic lunch in a gorgeous canyon (with the best lemonade and pitta fillings in the world) and finished off relaxing in the Dead Sea on a private beach. Michael was so knowledgeable about the history and politics of this beautiful country and we were lucky enough to see some jackals. He made us feel like we were touring with family and we felt safe and looked after. He was great with the kids and involved them in everything. If we are fortunate enough to visit Israel again then I wouldn’t hesitate in booking more trips with Michael; he’s the best!

Michael Gordon, our tour guide, was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and kept my daughters (11&13) engaged. We got to go to natural springs (with a pool with fish that nibble on your feet to get rid of the dead skin), saw an Ancient Greek orthodox monastery, went on camel rides and ended the day floating in the Dead Sea. Michael also provided home made salads that were delicious that even my picky eating kids enjoyed. It was the best day out of our 9 day trip.

My boyfriend and I did a Jeep tour with Michael in November and it was the highlight of our 5 day trip to Israel. While we enjoyed everything about this beautiful country the tour with Michael was simply unforgettable. I had very high expectations for this tour and they were not just met but exceeded. We absolutely loved the off-road experience and every stop we made was interesting and beautiful. Michael seems to know every little detail about his country and brought us to unbelievable spots, like a hot spring in the Dead Sea, he also had an answer to every one of our question, and we had many. We were also blessed with a flesh flood in the desert, simply unbelievable. On top of that Michael surprised us with little details like fresh tea, coffee and biscuits breaks in the middle of the desert. We will definitely come back to Israel and tour with Michael again. We are so grateful for this experience and this day will stay with us forever. Thank you Michael!!
