There was around 2 hours travel with beautiful scenery along the way. We stopped at the place where it is near 3 borders of Israel, Jordan and Syria. We learned the history of it. We saw the beautiful view of Galilea Sea with city of Tiberias. Continued our journey to Katzrin Village. It was a lovely place to understand how the settlement lived in the past. The last stop after lunch is Mt. Bental, we learned a lot from the tour guide from the volcano was formed and the border to Syria. As said, it is a rare wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

Running out of gas in the middle of the highway and having to figure out how to get back to TelAviv as the driver/tour guide made no attempt to help us
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We apologize for the unfortunate situation you encountered during the tour. It's indeed rare, and we understand your frustration. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate your understanding.

Amazing tour with Yoav! He drove our small group all day while discussing in detail about the history of Israel and how it came about. He took us to see some of the most breathtaking views of the Galilee as well as the Israeli borders with Syria and Lebanon. Definitely a memorable tour, than you!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
We're delighted you enjoyed the historical tour with Yoav! His expertise and the stunning views truly make it a memorable experience. Thank you for choosing our tour!

The tour was very enjoyable. Our guide was very informative. There were no stops along the tour to sell us anything/gifts, which is sometimes done with other tours.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thanks for this complimentary review of your tour guide, we could pass it on, if you would mention his name.
Having said that, we want to express our utmost gratitude for sharing your feelings of satisfaction and the fact that you had a memorable tour to cherish.

The Tour Guide was very informative .
I did read where we were going to visit hot springs so I pack for a quick swim but did not even see them? Disappointed .
Jordan river Baptism site , we had 10 minutes NOT LONG ENOUGH which included toilet break I took no money and was not informed that you had to pay to go to toilet. ALSO NOT IMPRESSED AS WE HAD OVER TWO DRIVE BACK TO HOTEL. I also thought reading the days activities that LUNCH AND DRINKS where included but NO NOT INCLUDED FOR THE PRICE $195.21 . TOO EXPENSIVE TO SIT IN A BUS ALL DAY . I also expected to see around and experience a Kibbutz but it was just a money making LUNCH BREAK that was NOT INCLUDED.

The Golan Heights was an experience not to be missed. Our guide was very informative and we enjoyed his commentary when we could hear it. Unfortunately some of our fellow travellers appeared to be not interested and I feel they should have been told to keep their voices down so others could hear what was being said.

Our guide, Shmil, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He made the trip as pleasurable as possible in the exceptionally hot weather, and introduced us to some very interesting sites.

Very interesting tour, not as many tourists as on most tours, and a great guide!
