It's a wonderful tour. The locations are especially beautiful. It's worth it. Our guide Sharif was very good. He knows a lot about the region and the history of Israel and was able to explain it to us in a very entertaining way. They searched us with a very nice and comfortable van. We had an excellent day. Gracias Shariff

Tour guide Yana was very informative and was possibly the best tour guide ever. I was lucky enough to have her as my guide for the Jerusalem and Masada tours.

Amazing trip, I've visited 58 countries and been on several day trips but this tops them all! I knew nothing about the history of Masada but was told to visit by a friend. What an unbelievable history this place has, Sivan was very detailed and knowledgeable throughout. I've found myself on Google looking deeper into it's story!! The entire day was well worth it, Ein Gedi with its waterfalls topped off with floating around in the Dead Sea. Truly an experience of a lifetime!!! A must when visiting Israel.
Great experience!

We went for a one-day trip to Masada, Ein Gedi and the Dead Sea with Omer Geva as a guide. Omer is absolutely fantastic person with great sense pf humour and a very professional guide who knows every detail about Israel's history and nature. We can strongly recommmend the trip to everyone who wants to explore Israel. Iga & Gosia

The Dead Sea is fun, you can stay afloat. By the way, you can use the float, don't take too many risks. Ein Gedi is close to the desert, it's close to Jerusalem, it's not too far.
Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, minus 420 meters above sea level.

The trip to the historical sites and mysterious Dead Sea was great. The Masada ruins are where such a wonderful and well-designed city was built over 2,000 years ago. I was amazed at the fact that I lived in abundance.
