Tel Aviv day trip to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea with a guided Old City walk, Mount of Olives views, and time to float and relax.
“Dead Sea was very great experience once in a lifetime. We enjoyed floating in the salt water and mud body musk. Water was warm enough to swim in mid December. Jerusalem was very beautiful and a tour guilde explained us about history at each stop.”
A 4-hour guided walk of Jerusalem’s Old City from Jaffa Gate to the Western Wall and Church of the Holy Sepulchre, with Temple Mount access notes.

Bike Tel Aviv and Jaffa in a private 3-hour loop with rentals included, flat riding, and stops that mix old-port history with modern streets.
“We were very disappointed with this bike tour. A quick overview of history was given and after that - nothing. We rode from area to area with little to no commentary. Sometimes we didn’t know where we had been until after we had passed through. Other bike tours we have taken with Viator have been great learning experiences and lots of fun. There weren’t stops for local food or photo ops like I read in other reviews. I asked to run into a bakery once along the way. It was not good. No guidance was offered about options. He stopped at a clothing store that he said was special so…”
Group day trip from Jerusalem to Bethlehem and Jericho, guided at Nativity, self-paced Jericho, Jordan River visit, air-conditioned ride.
“The tour guide Boaz and Quadri were awesome. The guide in the Church of nativity offered little explanations as compared to many other guides in the same location. Also he really mismanaged the lines and timings. Boaz offered us many local delicacies free and also free lunch.”
4-hour Tel Aviv pub crawl with club entry, alcoholic drinks, and nightlife stops in the Rothschild area. Small group, mobile ticket.
“This pub crawl exceeded my expectations it was so fun and made even better by the guide Omer! I had such a great time”
A guided 4-hour jeep adventure from Eilat through Timna Park, copper mines, Solomon pillars, and Lake Timna sand for a souvenir.
“Alex is an amazing tour guide! This is my second trip with him and both times he was super accommodating to everyone in the group. He is also very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and makes the whole experience very fun.”
Chill out in Dead Sea mud and salt water on a self-guided 7-hour day trip from Tel Aviv, with air-conditioned transport.
“Der Trip zum Toten Meer war insgesamt durchwachsen. Am Ziel angekommen wurde alles das geboten, was im Angebot beschrieben war. Die Strandutensilien wirkten jedoch herunter gekommen und ungepflegt. Am meisten geärgert hat mich die Rückreise nach Tel Aviv über Jerusalem. In Jerusalem wurde die 19 Tourteilnehmer von einem geräumigen Reisebus umverfrachtet in einen Mini-Bus, der bis auf den letzten Platz besetzt war, unbequem, eng und im Grunde genommen kein Stauraum für Taschen, Rucksäcke usw. Alle Passagiere mussten ihr Gepäck auf den Schoß nehmen. Dies war im Angebot nicht erwähnt und somit entsprach die gebuchte und bezahlte Dienstleistung nicht den Tatsachen. Einige Gäste klagten anschließ...”
A guided jeep and hike through Eilat’s Red Canyon, pink rock views, and Mount Yoash, with Gulf views and borders of four countries.
“We booked this tour and were lucky enough to spend the day with Alex! He has been here for 25 years and was a great driver and guide! And he was the funniest guide I have ever met!!! We visited Red Canyon, Netafim Spring and a viewpoint where you could see the borders with Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt! The tour was outstanding, everywhere we went we were the only ones and could fully enjoy the nature! Definitely recommend!”
Full-day Old City walk from Tel Aviv with expert guide, round-trip transport, key holy sites, and bazaar time. Temple Mount entry varies.

Guided day trip from Ashdod to Masada by cable car and the Dead Sea at Ein Bokek, with time to float, swim, and tour ruins.
“Cruise ship had canceled port the day before and I lost money because I was not able to cancel at sea. 2 people lost a lot of money. I contacted the tour operator who would refund the money, but unfortunately I never received the money back. Cruise schip had de dag ervoor haven gecanceld en ben geld verloren doordat ik niet in de mogelijkheid was om op zee te annuleren. 2 personen volle pot geld kwijt. Heb contact gehad met touroperator die geld zou terugstorten maar spijtig genoeg nooit geld terug”

“The trip operatorBein Harim canceled the trip because war broke out. Kindly refund the money to our credit card Thank you.”
A 4-hour guided walk through Old Jerusalem’s key holy sites, from Church of the Holy Sepulchre to the Western Wall, with a Temple Mount viewpoint.
“The tour was really good, the explanations of Shahar were interesting, full of small insights, were presented in a quite neutral way, and with humour. It was also nice from him to then offer to the interested people to go and eat something together in a small restaurant, out of the tourists’ rip-offs. :))”
