2-Tage Best of Israel Tour: Das alte Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Masada und das Tote Meer

I would highly recommend this day trip. Itamar , our guide is extremely knowledgeable. He was quite the entertainer which made it so fun for us. We had perfect weather which made the Dead Sea experience a dream! I’m so glad I didn’t hire a private tour guide because I met other travellers from different countries and made some new friends.

We actually did a 3 day tour that included old Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Masada, Dead Sea and In the Footsteps of Jesus in Jerusalem. Being from Nebraska we did not know what to expect. Our tour guides were incredible! Dan Porges and Omri were so knowledgeable and created a safe and fantastic tour for us. I highly recommend this tour guide service. There are so many different tours and Bein Harim is so organized that it is quite impressive. Go Bein Harim all the way! Dan Porges definitely was our favorite so Bein Harim if you are listening, give that man a raise! :)

Yoav Macachi was a really nice guide, he showed us all the details of all the places and was always open to answer any questions we had. Furthermore, he always took care of the group and made sure everyone was fine. You could also notice you were in good hands since everyone in all old jerusalem quarters knew him. Definitely recommend him.

Finally got mom to Israel . 8 years planning/ trying. Booked 2 day tour with Hava Dorany. . Absolutely phenomenal. I can’t say enough. The flexibility, experience, skilled driving and safety conscience of Hava enabled us to experience so much more that we could have imagined in our short visit to Israel. Truly grateful, Dwayne and Margaret Nadeau

We enjoyed our family trip with the well organized tourism group of BeinHarim. Luck was on our side as the weathered favored us amd most of it all, we had a great tour guide in the name of Lorne. History and Humor, Religion and Respect, Facts and Fun. The trip to Israel and these important spots we booked became an amazing trip for us. Thanks for the good times Lorne and hopefully see you somewhere again soon! - mary

We was in amazing place with very nice and prepaired guide ( with strong knowledge about history and religion ) . They have a answer for all questions of a groups and show as with pleasure all this amazing places.

<p>It was a good tour, tour guides were very friendly. The only downfall was the size of the group. We had I think 28 people and it was way too big. It was very rushed going thru old Jerusalem and Bethlehem and could not either hear all the information the tour guide was given and had to pay attention to who was in front of you from your group so you didn't get lost from the group because it was so crowded. Was not able to really take in the sites. The Masada and Dead Sea was better. I would definitely suggest a smaller group so you get the most out of it.</p>

<p>When looking at the title of the tour, I was drawn to it because I could view the highlights in 2 days. However, most locations was very brief and we didn't get to see enough highlights in Jerusalem. </p> <p>Pros:<br/> - I was not expecting much from Masada but our guide Shmil did a great job. Loved it. <br/> - It was well planned. </p> <p>Cons:<br/> - Even though the schedule said first day in Jerusalem/Bethlehem and second day at Masada/Deadsea, they switched without letting me know. So I ended up in Jerusalem on Shabbat so Rock of Dome was closed. <br/> - The hotel arrangement was terrible. When we got to the hotel, they told us they overbooked and overflew us to a different one. It was a tiny hotel embedded in some apartment. It feels quite scary to walk in there. Plus the rooms are not sound proof at all. I was woken up by other people talking outside my room. It felt like they were talking in my room! <br/> - Picking up from each hotel sounds convenient, but it can be a slow process. It dragged 1 hr trip to 2 hrs. <br/> - The deadsea stop was too brief. We only had 1.5 hrs there including lunch. Considering changing before and after swimming, we only got less than 30 mins in the water. I prefer at least 30 mins longer. Not sure if all the dead sea beaches are all crowded like this. This one was super crowded and full of tourists. <br/> - The tour to Bethlehem was too short and due to the long line to the cave, we didn't get to see much inside Church of Nativity. So not worth it. </p> <p>Bottom line: <br/> - Don't book this 2 day tour. If you want to see all these places, book separate day tours. <br/> - Suggest to book a solo tour for Jerusalem alone. <br/> - Go to the meeting point yourself, instead of letting them pick you up, which takes a long time.</p>

<p>the tour was on line with my expectations, the tour in the shopping is too long. Being a lot to be seen and a lot of time spent to collect all the tourists from the city, some part of the city of Jerusalem were not visited. It is a good overview but could have been deeper.</p>

<p>The tour was fun and tour guides we very knowledgable. I felt that there could have been clearer information as to pick up and choice / location of overnight hotel.</p>
