  This was a whirlwind of a tour lots to see in a short space of time, be warned it's a lot of walking up and down stairs narrow lanes throngs of people (so very rude) Dakel our tour guide moved at brisk pace which is understandable because there's lots to cover plus we had to do the Dead sea tour the other have of the day .However our friend has mobility issues so it was too difficult for her so Dakel got the driver Mohammed to come & get her where she spent 2 1/2 hrs at his house with his family. Having said that the tour was a wonderful experience from an historical/biblical & cultural aspect it check all the boxes. Dakel u need to get a flag so it's easy to see u. Swimming; I mean floating in the Dead sea was an amazing experience. I was also amazed at the Bedouin people living out in desert with their goat & sheep they live such simple lives.

  The Dead Sea is once in a lifetime experience. Everyone should do it once. Was disappointed in Guided Tours Israel. We had to walk out of the gates of the cruise port because driver couldn’t get in. Next day the guide was 30 minutes late. No notifications to let us know what was going on. Made lots of travelers very anxious. Also, our guide had our names on his cell phone instead of a sign. So went wondering to try to find our names.

• Excellent overview of the old city and Dead Sea

  We had a great time. Our guide, Erez, had great energy and explained everything well. Things were a bit rushed, but I think there was no way around that with trying to fit so much in, in just one day with a fair bit of driving involved between the ship and the sites. I would love to go back and spend more time and would definitely trust Erez to take us around to see more things and see the sites in a more in depth manor. He was personable and made us feel like he really cared about each of us, specifically, having a good time.

  This was supposed to be our one time visit to the holy land and the highlight the Christian church of the sepulcher and the Via Dolorosa. Our guide would not allow us to experience the church of the sepulcher which was a big disappointment but would also not take us two the entire Via Dolorosa because he was afraid for his life. He wasted time on on tour at the Dead Sea in my opinion. Highly disappointing and will not ever use Viator again.

  The Dead Sea was a waste. We went mid week and there was one cantina open at top of the hill. The facilities on the actual beach were abandoned. Facilities to wash up are completely muddy and hard to walk up. Joseph our tour guide hung out with his buddies and wasted an extra 20 minutes there taking away time in the old city. Keep in mind there are warning signs that if you have high blood pressure you should not go in or if you get any of the water in your mouth you must go to hospital. Also, he did not use audio system so we could not hear him in the busy streets of via de la rosa. He takes you to his friend’s place for lunch, shopping and dates purchases. You feel hustled the entire time. Lastly, he said it was “unsafe” for him to go to station one and two of the cross but that we could if we wanted. Found out the next day from another guide that this was untrue and that he was just lazy. He left little to no time to explore the church of the sepulcher which in my opinion was the highlight. The your may be ok but not with this guide.
