Short list, small country: 9 half-day tours that hold up, each with its price, its pickup point and the one thing to check before you commit.
Half-day Jerusalem tour with Mount Scopus views, Gethsemane, Via Dolorosa, Western Wall, Holy Sepulcher, and the Cardo in one plan.
“Dorit, the guide, was excellent: friendly abs very knowledgeable.”
Half-day trip from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea for easy floating, mineral mud, and a cooler time slot, with app guidance and hotel pickup.
“Good trip but if you are not fun of mud is better to not even go”
Private half-day walking tour of Akko with local guide Andrew, exploring Ottoman Old Town, UNESCO Knights' Halls, and Crusader tunnels.
“Andrew (tour guide) was unbelievable. His deep knowledge of Akko history and local population made this excursion truly memorable”
A 2-hour guided walk through Jaffa’s alleys, Old Port photos, St. Peter’s Church, plus artisan shops and a flea market stop, ending at Park HaTachana.
“Ein herzliches Dankeschön an Daniel unseren Guide! Er hat uns eine tolle Tour geboten. Die Tour dauerte ca. 2 Stunden und man hat viel gesehen und erfahren können”
Half-day Jerusalem trip from Tel Aviv with a guide, air-conditioned coach, and a walk through the Old City, Holy Sepulchre, and Western Wall.
“A great tour to see the most important spots of the city and well managed by the guide. The half day allows you to then leave and go back to explore a bit more on your own without time constraints. The only downside part is the shop and lunch spots they take the group to as its organised for tourists and not the best prices... But you are better on your own to discover other places.”
Half-day Old Jerusalem tour from Tel Aviv with a guide, Mount of Olives views, Western Wall, Holy Sepulchre, Armenian Quarter, ending in Old City.
“It is not very clear that there is NO RETURN TRIP TO TEL AVIV. Be very careful before booking. Also, BE CAREFUL BOOKING THE FRIDAY OR SATURDAY TRIP because THERE ARE NO TRAINS coming back to Tel Aviv. We figured that out too late and lost all the money of the trip because they refused to refund us even if we didn’t feel comfortable not knowing how to return. Do not book this.”
Half-day coach tour from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem with Mount Scopus views, Old City holy sites, Western Wall, and Holy Sepulcher.
“We had the half day tour with Roy. He was very pleasant in general and gave us lots of info. But we didn’t like the fact that we were rushing all the time and we paid attention more to the Jewish religion there and when it came to the Christian parts we didn’t have time. Moreover, he told us to stop only at one specific souvenir place(probably got commission from there) which was way too expensive comparing to the other ones and when we got into a store next to this one, he wasn’t very happy with that and kept saying we don’t have time we can’t do that. Whereas…”
A half-day guided sweep through Old Jerusalem, from Mount Scopus panoramas to the Western Wall and Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
“très bon guide, visite intéressante et de bon niveau par contre, convoqué à 7h50 pour commencer la visite à 9h30, ce n'est pas normal. Beaucoup trop d'attente avant le début des visites. Pour un programme vendu pour 5h, nous n'avons eu guère plus de 3h de visite”
Relax at the Dead Sea on a half-day trip from Jerusalem, with float time, mineral mud, and a comfy north shore beach stop for $44.
“The most memorable part of the experience was going into the water of the Dead Sea and being able to float without effort. The Dead Sea is a very remarkable experience and it was wonderful to be there and to feel what it was like to be in the lowest elevation of the world.”
The desert, the coast, the lake, and the runs over the border.
