“Hello, We very much enjoyed the tour. It was very informative, structured, and well organized. We had very good guide Josef, he introduced for us Jerusalim He reminded for us amazing history of this great city and also told us abot today"s Jerusalim. After Jerusalim we visited Bethlehem and again it was interesting excursion. After that we went to the Dead sea. It was really amazing experience - it is so strange when your body is listening to the solty water more than to your brains commands. Amazing day and unforgetable memories! I would recommend this tour to everyone who starts his acquaintance with this wonderful country.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 757 reviews · from $111

A full-day Masada and Dead Sea trip from Jerusalem with cable car ruins, Qumran history, and a buoyant float plus optional mud bath.

“Very well organized, comfortable transportation and our guide, Erez, was outstanding. First stop is the dead sea, they don’t advise this but bring water shoes. The beach is all rocks and very painful to walk on. They have lockers and showers so bring some soap and towels with you because you’ll end up covered in mud from the dead sea (recommended). The lunch stop is very busy and you spend one hour there. In Massada I would have liked more time to walk around and really enjoy the site. It was a bit rushed. Bring a hat and sunglasses if you go in the summer”
