“Rude awful tour guide. They refuse to drop you back at your hotel and drop you 12 miles away and tell you to pay for a private taxi to your hotel despite the tour offering hotel pick up and drop off. I don’t recommend this tour. The staff are rude, aggressive and confrontational when it was pointed out to them that hotel drop off was included in the tour.”

Dead Sea floating and Masada by cable car, with entrance fees and Jerusalem hotel pickup. Full-day, about 10 hours.

“Almost everything was awesome (highlighting the experience by itself and the guide Dani, who was an amazing ingredient of the plan). Only thing to maybe consider is the lack of clearer instructions to get to the meeting point because we didnt know that a common taxi was waiting for us in the noticed meeting point to take us to another meeting point; so we waste a lot of time and almost lost the bus because we were expecting for a bus or something similar and not a cab. Everything else, so good.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 245 reviews · 10 hours · from $106

Sunrise climb at Masada, a nature hike at Ein Gedi, then a Dead Sea float and mud bath from Jerusalem in one long day.

“Other than getting up way too early, it was a blast. However, in the desert you need to go hiking early, or else. Ein Gedi I think would be a disappointment, had it not been so hot. This tour group lets you explore, on your own, so that was nice.”
