So much to take in! Amazing!

Don was a wonderful driver and guide for our full day Jerusalem, Dead Sea private tour. We had a limited time to take in as much as we could. Having a private guide enabled us to easily navigate many areas and ask questions. He gave us a great taste of Jerusalem and left us wanting to return with our children for a longer trip. Authentic lunch in the old city, note left in the Western Wall (very emotional experience), view of the country on route to Dead Sea. Able to float and self mud treatment at Dead Sea. Camel ride optional. Great history and current status of the areas. We saw many young adults waiting to go back to serve in military after weekend with family.

Great Trip!

If you are not in Tel Aviv for long, this is the tour for you! In one day, we saw all the key sites. Our guide (Erez) was excellent, very friendly, knowledgeable and just great fun to be with. Engaged the group well. Erez even messaged ahead of the tour, the things we should bring/consider which was great as no time was wasted on pick up, changing, getting things, etc. As we toured, there were many other tours running by bus and honestly, we are glad we took the private tour as it meant we saw more, where we wanted and less where we did not. Thus resulted in 1.5hrs in the dead sea which was exceptional. Highly recommend this tour.
Very good tour!

Jerusalem shown through the eyes of Ofer
Randy_T, Sep 2022
The entire tour was great. Ofer, our driver was extremely knowledgeable in all of the religions and especially Christianity! We wanted to see different places and he adjusted his schedule to meet our requests. He was early arriving to the hotel so we got an early start. Sat was a great time to visit because it was not as crowded because of Shabbat. The Jewish quarter was closed but we felt that there were less crowds. Ofer knew so much & taught us things we didn’t know. Ofer was a passionate guide & we loved spending the day with him. Thanks so much Ofer for your hospitality.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Thanks for sharing your immense satisfaction of the day guided by Ofer. Indeed he is worthy of your feedback for his efforts, professionalism and informative commentary.We are glad he was vey accomodationg to all your requests. So it should be when it is a private tour ,tailor made to meet your needs and wishes.
Great tour

Myself & 5 friends took this tour with Ariel. He was a friendly & knowledgeable guide who made sure we saw the best of Jerusalem, got a clear, factual history of the city and of Israel in general, and had plenty of fun along the way. The van had plenty of room, good air conditioning and made for a comfortable ride.
What a fantastic day!
Crystal_G, Aug 2019
It was worth the price of a private tour. My tour guide, Avishay, was knowledgeable, professional and quite. funny. I was am to customize the tour to meet my needs. I was able to tour at my leisure.

Mrs Denise S, Aug 2015
Our tour guide, Ithamar was so knowledgable , friendly and polite. He shared local knowledge as well as historical facts which brought to life every wonder that we saw. The private tour experience is worth every penny and more On the second day, our car,driven by Ithamar broke down in busy Jerusalem during the rush hour. Ithamar was very calm and efficiently arranged for us to be rescued by another tour guide within 10 minutes, ensuring that we didn't waste any precious time of ou r tour in Bethlehem. If you're going to Jerusalem, ask for this guide. He was fantastic!
visite extraordinaire
virginie_D, Nov 2019
Excursion à faire absolument ! La visite du vieux Jérusalem est très complète et superbe sans parler de la mer morte ! Un pur plaisir! Un grand merci à notre guide Itay qui a été formidable et qui nous a fait partager une journée inoubliable.
VISITE JERUSALEM MER MORTE
jparmisen, Jun 2019
Norbert, notre guide, a été parfait tout au long de la journée; ses explications ont été claires et abondantes. Il a su nous montrer combien cette ville est importante pour les trois religions monothéistes et combien la géographie de cette zone est complexe...
