  • A great experience touring the temple of King Herod accompanied by a very experienced guide

    We toured Masada with Yuval and it was an excellent experience. From the beginning he was very professional and it is clearly noticeable that he knows thoroughly the whole history of the place. His explanations were clear, interesting and very well organized. In addition, Yuval speaks very good Spanish, which made the tour even more enjoyable and easy for all my family to follow. He was able to answer all our questions and kept the tour dynamic and entertaining at all times. It was a great tour and we totally recommend it for those who want to know Masada in a complete and well explained way. Thank you very much, Yuval, for an unforgettable experience!

  • Masada & Dead Sea Tour.

    We had an incredible experience thanks to our amazing tour guide, Ariel! He was not only incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent, but also warm, kind, and professional throughout the entire tour. Ariel shared so much fascinating history with us, bringing each location to life with his insight and stories. He made sure we felt safe and comfortable the entire time and even took us to some hidden gems we would have never found on our own including the best lunch spot of the trip! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!

    Very busy tour, horrible and crowded lunch stop with huge queues and very short time to enjoy the Dead Sea. I recommend doing it on your own.

  • Masada e il Mar morto - esperienza da sogno! Assolutamente da fare!

    An amazing trip, one of the most beautiful ones of my life! We were so lucky to have Jonatan as a guide who was so prepared and made us laugh all the time. You can see that he really puts a passion in his job so he explained everything in the interesting way but in the way that he did not bother with too many details. Everything was planned into details and organized perfectly! A visit to Masada is a must because the scebery is something incredible. Not to speak about Dead Sea...something so special! A must! Many thanks also yo our driver, you and Jonatan were really the best! We had really wonderful time! Thank you so much!

  • Wonderful experience

    Yoav (our driver and tour guide) was amazing. He showed up on time and in a pristinely clean air-conditioned van. We had six people with us ranging in age from 9 to 74 years old. Yoav created a wonderful experience for every person in our group. He was jovial, knowledgeable, and made the experience as fun as it could have been. We were so grateful to have him as our guide. I highly recommend this tour.

  • Yoav is the best.

  • Last Minute Cancellations by Bein Harim Tours ruined our vacation

    We had this trip booked and paid for April 26, 2023. We received a call from their office on the day of the tour stating that they did not have a driver available for this tour. We asked if we could be rescheduled for April 29. On April 28 we received a text that they were cancelling the tour because they didn't have a driver. Since we are leaving the next day, we told them to cancel and refund our money. Two hours later I got another text that they did have a driver. We had already made other plans. This was the 2nd tour that this company cancelled during our 7 day stay in Israel. The other one they cancelled was the Jerusalem Private Tour from tel Aviv and Herzeliya. We booked and paid for these tours on February 21 so it wasn't last minute bookings. Unreliable company.

  • Ami will transport you into the past

    I’ve never had such an enthusiastic and fu. Tourguide like Ami. He knows how to paint the most beautiful pictures with his words and transported us into aromas bathhouse raves, the fight for Masada and did it with such emotion that you couldn’t help but get goosebumps from his stories. He also organized the tour to avoid the crowds, which was very smart of him. The only downside (and not Ami’s fault) is the fact that they drop you off to get lunch at a very crowded, touristy and expensive cantina. Eat at the Dead Sea or bring your own food if you want to avoid this. Overall I can absolutely recommend this tour - and any tour with Ami.

  • Masada & Dead Sea Private Tour Guide-Avi!

    Patricia L,Mar 14, 2023

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    Avi was an amazing private tour guide! Unfortunately it was a rainy day and the cable car and outdoor areas of Masada were closed. However, Avi continually checked the weather reports, called colleagues at the Dead Sea to check on flooded roads and rearranged our schedule of the tour day so we could go to the museum at the Masada sight. Also, he offered choices for where we could swim in the Dead Sea. He was helpful for where we could buy some gifts to bring home. Avi shared a lot of interesting stories and historical information throughout our day. He was personable, fun and organized! My husband and I appreciate all his efforts for creating a memorable day for us.

    Our guide was very good but the car left something to be desired. No one could stretch their legs in a 10 hour day.
