Massada, Ein Gedi, Dead Sea - Our guide was great and the sites were spectacular. He gave us a wonderful historical perspective and told us several interesting stories relevant to the sites we saw. The driver was also excellent.

Bridging Israel one Step at a Time - Masada,Ein Gedi,and The Dead Sea in one was healing,spiritual,educative,and refreshing. Tourist Israel along with our energetic and optimistic guide Merona brought me to the real experience. No BS with the ticket prices as you pay it yourself at the counter, and tips in buying cheaper quality items. All in all, Israel makes you wanna come back for more.

Majestic Masada - This was an amazing overview of all three places. If you’ve never been, it’s great to see them all in one day. I would go back again and spend a whole day at each place, or hike Masada at sunrise and spend the day at the Dead Sea.

Quick but worthwhile tour - Great tour. Our guide did not show up for whatever reason but our bus driver said he would take us anyway. He was fantastic, with great info about the sites we were visiting and also things along the way. He made sure we made it to all the spots before other tours so we were always the first ones there. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough time at Ein Gedi, but it was nice to see it briefly on this quick tour. I was especially pleased that I could start this tour in Jerusalem and finish the tour in Tel Aviv, saving me the hassle and time associated with sorting transport out myself. The view from Masada is breathtaking and it was a difficult and hot climb even though we were climbing as the sun was rising. I did not envy the people that were coming up as I was heading back down!

An Exhilarating Experience - An exhilarating and visually stunning day coupled with excellent and insightful historical context from our guide, Ben. We were there for my brother's 50th birthday and this was without a doubt one of the great highlights of our entire trip. We caught the most amazing sunrise, learned much about Masada, Ibexes and salt water sink holes! Strongly recommend for those looking to connect with nature and/or a bit of adventure on the trip. Nothing beats catching a Masada sunrise ! Many thanks!

Great tour but a lot to see in one day… - Great tour if your time locally is short and you want to see the beauty of the desert/float in the Dead Sea. This tour was made even better by our tour guide, Noya, who was knowledgeable, funny and successfully reined in a large group for multiple stops. Thanks Noya!

Pretty good experience - This was a well organized and very informative trip. I'm an asthmatic and probably pushed myself too hard on the climb, but it was doable. I don't know if there are other parts of the Dead Sea one can visit. The one attached to this tour was nice, but commercial and had very limited exposure to the sea.

Great places worth to visit - Our bus had a flat tire which led to a more than 1 hour lead time for the begin of our tour in Jerusalem. Obviously our guide Morena was advice to end the tour at the originally scheduled time in Jerusalem which caused an enormous time pressure at the different stations of the tour. Morena did her best to visit all three stations, but in my opinion a flat tire is not the fault of the guide and the guests and it should be possible to prolong the the time schedule so that all three stations can be visited with the originally planned time frame. Our guide Morena was excellent and gave us a deep insight into the history and moreover information about the places we visited. Although she was under pressure she kept her good mood and kindness which was admirable.

You are not getting what you paid for - First of all we didn’t get to see the sunrise because it was cloudy, the operator, like others do, should have canceled or move the experience to a different day.
Going down from the mountain the guide prohibited us to descend walking stating it was too late and forcing us to take the cable car (we were not late and we would have arrived 30 minutes before the group who was still waiting long time for the cable station to open.
Than the guide stated that was too late to go to Ein Gedi and we completely skipped the experience we paid for. The only highlight part was the dead see.
The trip was supposed to be approximately 12 hour and it was cut 2 hours short skipping activities.
Very unprofessional
