5.00This was truly the best tour I have ever been on. Eyal and our driver, Joshua, were absolutely amazing, so kind, patient, and thoughtful. I traveled with my mother, who has a disability, and at the start I was very nervous. The walk at Masada is intense, with many ups and downs, and it can be challenging and slippery for anyone with mobility issues. However, Eyal thoughtfully broke the walk into manageable parts, made sure we took regular breaks, and allowed my mom time to rest. To my amazement, she completed the entire walk and still had enough energy to float in the Dead Sea afterward! It was truly incredible. My mom had an unforgettable experience and couldn’t believe she was able to do it. Eyal was also extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating historical stories throughout the tour. I was completely blown away. I also really wanted to ride a camel and get a photo, and Eyal was so accommodating and made it happen. Our driver, Joshua, was amazing and took a beautiful video of me riding the camel. It’s something I will cherish forever, my heart is truly so full. This experience exceeded all my expectations, and I will definitely be bringing my husband next time. Highly recommended!

1.00The tour guide was very experienced and had a lot of information to provide. He was a pleasant person as well. My issue with this tour is the vehicle they used. A small van does not accommodate 11 people with large packs. The seats do not accommodate anyone over 5’9 and make for a very uncomfortable drive. If you have any prior injuries ask the company what van they are using. If it’s a small van avoid this tour ! This tour could be great if not for that. I have always left positive reviews for all of the tours I’ve taken and this one is the first that I’ve had issues with.

5.00Eliyahu 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.
Masada and the Dead Sea

5.00Finally 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.
