Eliyahu was our tour guide for this day trip. He is an excellent driver, very knowledgeable historically, biblically and of current events, with a fine sense of humour. He is friendly, has a warm personality, made us feel at home and well cared for. I highly recommend Eliyahu.

Finally had the chance to see the legendary fortress of Masada and float in the Dead Sea. Our guide Asaf was very engaging as he explained the historical and symbolical significance of these sites for Israel and its people. His storytelling made the group feel almost as if we were reliving the dramatic events that took place there two millennia ago.
I really enjoyed this...

I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and full of energy. Masada was fascinating, and I learned so much. The bus was airconditioned and comfortable. I did not enjoy the "tourist trap" of going to the tourist shops whereby the guide got a commission for sales. I felt it was very unnecessary and ruined the experience for me a bit. Overall it was a great tour, which I highly recommend!
Touristic Tour, it could be better

Bring a hat and sunscreen. Wonderful to see Masada and the Dead Sea was so fun. I ended up buying Dead Sea products afterward because my skin felt amazing after trying the mud. Really fun day.
Go for it!

It was a wonderful trip. Yonatan was both super knowledgeable and helpful. It was a lot of walking but not too hard. I highly recommend this tour!

A very enjoyable and interesting day trip to Masada and the Dead Sea. Our guide Yonatan was really informative, fun, and was happy to answer any questions the group might have, whether historical or political. I had a minor organisational issue at the start that Bein Harim dealt with promptly and professionally. Will definitely choose this company again. Thanks again to Yonatan and our driver, "the best driver in the Middle East!"

The Yonatan Alster Guide is excellent. He has a good attitude and you rating he likes what he does. He has knowledge of the issues and is a person who likes to live together and solve doubts during the walk.
Excellent tour, guide, and driver

It can be hot! Take water and a hat. Jonathan did a great job keeping to the shade when he could and reminded everyone to stay hydrated.
Beautiful views and great tour guide.

The van ride is tougher than the climbing. Take a walking stick and enjoy the views. Our guide, Eyal, was fantastically informative about the regios history. You can tell he loves his job and takes it seriously. We loved it. I didn’t think I was gonna like it but it was well worth the money. Thanks Viator. Great job Eyal. He also speaks 4 languages.
