Absolutely fabulous day. These guys are beyond professional; Eyal is an outstanding tour guide and a wealth of knowledge. This is my 3rd trip here and still had so much to learn. Absolutely incredible sites - a must do! Enjoy every minute in Israel.

I recommend this tour. This was a memorable trip, especially because of the guide. I don't remember his name, but he spent timing explaining what we saw in a engaged way. I felt that he was doing this because he thought it was important to spread the story of both Masada and Israel, and bot just because he was getting paid for doing it. To visit Masada gave me a new perspective in Israel; it isn't just a country with culture and city life - it is also a place with beautiful and impressive nature.

Spectacular day in the holy land seeing Masada and then swimming in the Dead Sea. This was my first visit to Israel. Our guide Yuval was wonderful. We learned a tremendous amount about Israel from the moment he picked us up through the time he dropped us off. Yuval mixed in humor as he told us the history of the sites. Yuval is a great representative for the people of Israel as we learned about all three monotheistic religions coexisting in harmony. I highly recommend this tour and guide. The tour bus was comfortable. We stopped for food and to use facilities. I will certainly call upon Yuval when I next come to Israel:

I've been wanting to visit Masada and The Dead Sea for a long time and when the opportunity of visiting Israel for the first time in over 30 years for a friend's wedding,I jumped at the opportunity and the first trip on my list had to be The Dead Sea and Masada. I could not of expected it to be any more fun,informative and Special. Jonathan the tour guide is a complete natural,he is great with people and his style was light hearted and much appreciated by everyone. He has a great knowledge and he really wants you to know and learn about the history of Masada.His passion shines through. I would strongly recommend this trip and the day was hugely enjoyable. Also Rabi the driver ,shout out to the best driver in the Middle East. Thank You Jonathan

A lot of time spent on the bus as we had to travel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to pick up people - this added around 3 hours onto the journey which just added to an already long day. Ii think it would be better to take this trip from Jerusalem

Bring water and a hat. Water is available on the bus for purchase, but if you bring your own you can also fill up at Masada

Yonatan (Jojo) A. was fantastic. A great tour guide with lots of information and a great sense of humor. Ravi the driver was really good and we felt safe the whole day on the winding roads. Great timing at all the sites and a nice variety. Would absolutely book another tour with them again.

An excellent tour that I’ll be recommending to everyone! Itamar was our tour guide and he was fantastic. He had so much cultural and historical insight and explained everything so clearly. He even went above and beyond and gave the tour in both English and Spanish because one person on the tour didn’t speak any English. He was so friendly, prepared, and helpful, he made this trip so fun and easy. Itamar was very engaging in his explanations, but also nuanced - he is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and current state of the region. He was also very patient with all of our questions and made sure each and every one of us had a great time. He was well-organized and made sure we’d stay on schedule without making us feel rushed. Thank you, Itamar, and I can’t wait to take another tour with you next time I’m in Israel!
