What To Expect
Depart your central Tel Aviv hotel by air-conditioned coach and journey toward Jerusalem to begin your full-day trip. As you travel, listen as your guide explains Jerusalem’s ancient past, and how the city is a hub of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths.
Enter the city walls into the atmospheric Old City to see the Western Wall, effectively an open-air synagogue for thousands of worshippers. Walk along part of the Via Dolorosa pilgrimage route and see some of the 14 Stations of the Cross that mark different stages of Jesus’ route to his crucifixion site, where the Church of the Holy Sepulchre stands.
Back aboard your coach, take the scenic drive to the Dead Sea, the salt lake located at the lowest point on Earth — around 1,312 feet (400 meters) below sea level.
On arrival, enjoy approximately two hours to bathe and laze on the mineral beach as you wish. Experience a ‘swim’ in the salt-rich waters, admire the gorgeous desert setting, and if you wish, enjoy a mud bath in the world's richest source of natural salts.
Later, drive past the historical city of Jericho on your way back to Tel Aviv, where a hotel drop-off ends your trip.

Udi our tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor which made the experience even better. The pickup process was easy and on time. The bus was air condition and included Wi-Fi and ports to charge your phone. The tour was amazing we visited many sites that I’ve read about in the Bible. It gave me a feeling that I couldn’t explain to walk through the areas that Jesus once walked. My favorite part of the trip was the Holy Sepulchre and the Dead Sea.

I showed driver and guide where I need to be dropped off for a Dead Sea hotel, they dropped me at a bus station where no bus came, and I had to walk 20 mins in the desert and pay a random stranger 1000 sheqels to get back to Tel Aviv
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced with the drop-off location during your Dead Sea tour.
Firstly, please note that we do not offer drop-off services at hotels located at the Dead Sea, as they are significantly farther south from our current location.
Secondly, we would like to clarify the charge for transportation back to Tel Aviv when you are staying at a Dead Sea hotel.

The description of the tour was pretty accurate except they don't actually pick you up from your hotel like it says. They give you a hotel near yours but not exactly where you're staying. The tour guide Roy was vèry entertaining and knowledgeable and the driver Itzik was very professional and also funny. He carried a hand gun which made me feel pretty safe. The tour was supposed to be over at 5pm but we didn't get dropped of till 7:45pm the only real complaint is a couple stops at tourist trap souvenir stores that were outrageously expensive. Unless they're getting a kick back there's no need to waste 2 hours for souvenirs on a 10 hour (in our case 13 hour) tour
Response from Host, Sep 2023

I absolutely loved the Jerusalem and Dead sea tour. Everything was well organised, Telma was an awesome guide and the tour is a must do if you are wondering about it. On request I was also picked up with a taxi from Herzliya at no additional cost.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thanks so much for this sincere review and most of all we appreciate your expression of gratitude for the excellent tour guide Telma. She sure deserves your praise for her efforts and enlightening commentary.
JooMarcos_G, Sep 2023
Totally worth it. Fare price for all the activities and also with great tour guides, that narrowed the story.

Helping my elderly mother navigate the stairs and uphills. We never realized that “ moderate “ walking was so grueling.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
We're truly sorry to learn that the level of walking and uphills came as a surprise and caused disappointment.
We encourage all participants to consider their own physical condition and reach out to our office in case of concerns prior to the tour.

An adventure of a lifetime! This full day filled my heart as a quick getaway from Tel Aviv. The global citizen who was our guide is a quirky, energetic spitfire. He is very knowledgeable and warm. I loved all the history within Jerusalem but my favorite was our time at the dead sea. As far as coach bus touring goes, this was an all-inclusive gem. I still think about the trip, the sights, the people.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted that you had an unforgettable adventure and enjoyed the sights, guided by our knowledgeable and warm guide. It's fantastic to hear that the Dead Sea left a lasting impression. Your kind words truly inspire us, and we can't wait to create more amazing memories with you in the future!

The tour was great! Our guide Ami was very friendly and full of knowledge. The city was impressive and the Dead Sea was fascinating. The bus was comfortable and we had time to do it all.
Highly recommend

Everything was very nice and organized. The tour guide Jacob he is an excellent guy and funny person, he knows many things and tried to explain us everything in English in the time he had, also to organize our tour and cared for us as a team. The dead sea was the best part.The only thing, that we disliked and I put a 4 star instead of 5 is the pick up. In the information it says that hotel pick up is provided and included in the price. After booking they informed us that we had to walk for 15-20 minutes from our hotel to the meeting point. We sent an email about our inconvenience but nothing changed. It was unexpected and very frustrating. Don’t write or offer that there is hotel pick up in the first place if you cannot afford it.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you had a very good and enjoyable tour, and we're thrilled that Jacob, our tour guide, made your experience even more special with his knowledge and humor.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the hotel pick-up situation. Due to post-Covid circumstances and traffic congestion on urban roads and highways in the morning, we had to make adjustments to the pickup route. As a result, the pickup service is now limited to a few hotels only.
Timothy_B, Jul 2023
A truly amazing experience. This tour is a must for everyone. The Old City was amazing and our guide Roy was very informative on all of the historical background. The Dead Sea was truly an amazing experience. I will have memories that will last a lifetime, not only for myself, but for my family and friends.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
We are delighted to hear that Roy provided you with a memorable tour that left you in awe of Israel. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for more incredible experiences in the future.
