What a fantastic tour! Zahi’s knowledge of history was outstanding. His communication was excellent, and he made us feel like part of a big family, exploring and discovering together.

In my opinion, Masada was the highlight of the trip, people who are interested in history would love it. Our tour guide, Udi, was punctual, professional and fun! Best trip ever!

This 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!

Eliyahu 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.

Finally 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.

I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and full of energy. Masada was fascinating, and I learned so much. The bus was airconditioned and comfortable. I did not enjoy the "tourist trap" of going to the tourist shops whereby the guide got a commission for sales. I felt it was very unnecessary and ruined the experience for me a bit. Overall it was a great tour, which I highly recommend!
