Tour was fantastic. Merona was great - gave a lot of pertinent, detailed and interesting information during all parts of the trip. I highly recommend the trip especially if you can get Merona as your guide.

So, I booked this tour because we had some people in our group that had never been to these places. Luckily for that I was able to explain a bit about what we were doing and where we were going because the tour guide was absolutely horrible. From the arguing that was occurring between the bus driver (who was a great driver) and the tour guide to the time to grab a quick lunch at 330 in the afternoon to the lack of any real conversation about the sights we were seeing along the way and the fact we had to go from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to pick up another group and the tour guide (wasn’t stated before the trip) I would absolutely never choose this tour again. We took a lot of tours during our trip, this was hands down the worst.
Waste of time and money

Just horrible, the tour just skipped ein gedi and it basically consists of 7 hours on the bus. Guide was horrible and unfriendly. I regret having wasted a full day and seen very little. Stop at Dead Sea only 30 minutes was allowed.

It was a full day and enjoyable. The communication was not great however. We did not know if the trip would still occur in light of the fact that it was a Holiday. We didn’t hear back from the contracted tour company that Viatr uses. When we called the number the person answering did not provide good customer service at all. Also it was advertised as 9 hours but was 12 hours. We called in fact the day before and was told 9 hours as advertised in print. The hike at Ein Gedi was not described ahead of time and it was rigorous. It was beautiful and was worth it, but we should have been informed and better communication would have helped. There was only one pick up location. We were almost two miles away and because of the holiday, car services were limited. Had we not gotten a car we would have had to walk in an unfamiliar area in the dark. Masada was so fascinating!! More time at Dead Sea was needed. The driver was great..safe driving and nice when I spilled my coffee. The windows needed cleaning for better views. The bus didn’t have phone charging capabilities but the driver was very accommodating and offered his. The guide was not with us until an hour into the drive. It would be preferable to have the guide there the whole time so we could hear more about what we were seeing on the drive. He was dropped off earlier too. Overall an amazing day!! Ein Gedi was absolutely beautiful! Breathtaking! Masada was spectacular!! The views and history were fascinating! We were too rushed at Dead Sea. That was a very cool experience though.
