This is a perfect day trip from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. Our driver/guide Eyal was excellent. He even coordinated, without us waiting or extra time to connect with two people who got lost at pickup! He shared more knowledge than I could absorb! It was great that he pointed out sites all along the way. He gave great tips on what to do at the dead sea and shared all kinds of ideological ancient facts! Definitely bring water and wear sunscreen. We followed a previous review suggestion and wore our swimsuits. Very helpful!!
Itamar is an excellent guide!

I wouldn’t recommend it , I would prefer a private, so I think the time stopped in the Dead Sea is too short, when I almost get ready20 mins , I only have less than an hour to go in the beach; it’s good to get to know the history at Masada , although I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend.
