We went on this trip from a cruise ship in the port. Our guide (Yoav) met us right at the ship and we were on our way. Along the way he described a lot about life in Israel and how complicated it can be with the neighboring countries. We got a little bit of history and saw first hand some of the realities and challenges that you don't get from history books in the U.S. school system. The drive to Jerusalem was very nice and he pointed out some interesting items as we went along. Jerusalem was so eye opening. We started with a high overlook from the mountains to the East and looked down at the old city were he showed some of the highlights that provided a perspective of what we would see later, which was very helpful. There was a decent amount of walking through Jerusalem, which was nice but you need to be prepared to walk. We hit all the highlights in the tour description but Yoav provided some interesting commentary and insights. We had a very nice lunch in the old city that he arranged for us (you have to pay, but he did the arrangements. You spend several hours in Jerusalem seeing all four of the quarters and some extremely historic and interesting site. I will not spoil it but it is well worth the walking. The trip to the Dead Sea took about an hour but the scenery changes quite a bit. The Dead Sea itself was interesting...quick tip, do not shave face, legs, or anything else the day you are going. Just trust me on that...the water is saltier than anything you have ever experienced and your choice as to how you want to remember it. It was worth the drive but the floating was a bit underwhelming, glad I did it but far and away the star of the day was Jerusalem. Overall, long day, great day, and a great tour guide and company. Highly recommended.

Did this excursion while on a 9 day cruise to Greece, Turkey and Israel. Our tour guide’s name was “Dorit”. She was amazing! Very knowledgeable of the life of Christ and history of Israel. She gave so much clarity to bibles stories and made the tour enjoyable and memorable.

This tour was absolutely amazing. The sights, information and explanation made the Bible come alive. Our tour guide Dorit made it all come alive. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and give our group of 10 a journey through Jerusalem that made us feel like we where there walking with Jesus. Thanks to Dorit, I now have a better understanding and appreciation for certain context in the Bible. I definitely recommend this tour and if Dorit is your guide, we’ll, it will be unforgettable.

Original guide, Zohar, was awful. Unsafe driver, late pickup, got lost, disorganized, walked extremely slow, rude to other people, unfriendly...ugh. Contacted tour operator and they were great in quickly providing a replacement guide. Gil was outstanding to take over tour. Professional, informative, friendly, responsible, helpful, enjoyable. Touring with Gil highly recommended!
