5.00What an unbelievable experience! Mizpe Ramon is absolutely gorgeous, and fascinating, but Boaz was the real star of the show. Boaz was knowledgeable, interesting, patient and charming. He made Mizpe Ramon accessible and enchanting to the whole family. I would absolutely use him again 100 times out of 100.
Must go

5.00The driver was very kind. Even though it was a holiday weekend, the tour started on time. He also gave a very easy-to-understand guide to us Japanese people, and went at just the right pace. It was a really great time. I'm really grateful to the driver...
Learned so much! Hands-on for the kids (and grownups)

5.00Wow. Boaz is incredible. His tour is interactive, informative, and altogether incredible. The kids loved the hands-on things he incorporated: finding clay, knapping flint to make an arrowhead, grinding up a special plant that turns into soap when you add water. We learned so much that morning, it felt like we must have covered a year of school science and geography curriculum in just a few hours. Boaz was friendly and flexible; when my husband wanted to do a little hiking or climbing, Boaz found a spot to pull over that would give us a good path and the best view. He didn't mind taking a bit of extra time to make our experience perfect for us.
Great.

5.00We took the four hour tour of the crater with Boaz. His knowledge of geology and history are wide ranging but what we really enjoyed was his enthusiasm. We saw the crater for the first time while Boaz sees it daily - however he clearly loves what he does so much that we were caught up with his excitement. Very highly recommended!
Super Tour in the desert

5.00Nice tour and plenty of information by Boez. He is a smart and really nice and well prepared guide. We made a tour in the desert learning some of geology, science and history. The place is fantastic and we had the chance to see Ibex and footprints of the striped hyena and other small mammals (foxes..). Good contacts with Meirav to organize the tour. Great experience.

5.00Our tour of the crater was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Boaz, was incredibly knowledgeable and explained the geological formations, as well as the plants and insects in a way that was interesting to all ages in the group (9 to 47). I cannot recommend this tour, and Boaz in particular, enough.
Amazing Jeep tour in Mitzpe Ramon with Boaz

5.00We met at Mitzpe Ramon visitor's center. Boaz was on time and patiently waited for us even that we were a few minutes late. Boaz did geological presentation explaining how the crater was formed, it was informative and fun at the same time and kids loved it. He showed us various desert flowers and amazing views of the crater. We loved the trip!
We fell in love with the maktesh

5.00Thanks to the excellent tour of Maktesh Ramon with Boaz and Desert-Prime, we fell in love with the place and cannot wait to come back. We took the four-hour tour of the maktesh (two active seniors with our granddaughters, ages 6 and 9 years). Boaz had a great rapport with the kids and the adults; he showed us the amazing flora that adapt to the desert environment, made the rocks come to life before our eyes, and did a far better job explaining the theory on how the maktesh was created than the visitor center. His jeep was clean and comfortable and we covered a lot of territory, seeing different aspects of the maktesh. We had plenty of interactive stops and even a short hike. The girls were very sad when the tour was over. On our next visit to Maktesh Ramon (and there must be a next visit!) we hope to hike with him and do the night sky program.
