A highly recommended trip that will take you from the Roman Emperor's seaside palace down the centuries through the Crusaders to the city where Napoleon lost most of his army and had to flee. The tour guide, Shalomi, is exceptionally knowledgeable about the historical backgrounds of all the sites we visited. He was also an amazing storyteller with a great sense of humor, which made listening to the facts so much more fun.
We truly appreciate your thoughtful recommendation. It is wonderful to hear how Shalomi brought the journey from the Roman era through the Crusades and Napoleon to life with both depth and humor. At Tourist Israel, we carefully select guides for their subject expertise and storytelling ability, and it is clear Shalomi delivered exactly that. We will be delighted to share your words with him.
I want to thank Tourist Israel and especially my tour guide, Shlomi, for an incredible tour today of Caesaria, Haifa, and Akko! Shlomi was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and made sure to encourage questions. There ended up being three guests total on the tour, which essentially made it like a private tour. Shlomi was able to show us so much at each location and provide plenty of information about each site, and none of it felt rushed. I will definitely look to Tourist Israel in the future the next time I need to book a tour in Israel!
We appreciate your kind words, Elan. While group sizes can vary, we do aim to keep them manageable so guides can engage deeply without rushing. It’s great to hear Shlomi made the most of the day!
Very nice activities, Shlomi is very nice, and knowledgeable, he answered all the questions we had. We recomand this activities and Shlomi as a gid!
Thanks for sharing! We’re glad you enjoyed the activities and that Shlomi was able to answer all your questions along the way.
We had Shlomi for a trip to Ceasarea, our second time with Shlomi. Again, he was an outstanding guide. He had a great sense of humour and played a few practical jokes which made the trip very fun. He was deeply knowledgeable and passionate and we learned a huge amount. We would recommend this one. Many thanks again Shlomi.
We love hearing from returning guests! It’s wonderful that Shlomi made your second tour just as enjoyable and informative as the first.
A great experience. Our guide, Shlomi, was amazing. He was funny, deeply knowledgeable, and also keep the tour moving in a fashionable but not rushed manner. Would definitely recommend him.
Great to hear this! Keeping tours moving smoothly while still allowing time to absorb each site is something we actively focus on, and Shlomi does this exceptionally well.
If you have 1 day and want to explore the main sites of interest in these cities then this tour is perfect! The ancient ruins in Caesarea are full of history and amazing sea views, in Haifa you get a panoramic view of the city from the terrace of the Bahai gardens and in Akko you get to see a crusaders city that is unbelievable! A fast pace tour but worth every minute, at every site I was in awe of the beauty of the places we were at. Our tour guide Yael was simply amazing, her personality and energy made the tour more friendly, easy to follow and exciting! The food (not included) was the best food I have ever had on a tour, the fresh family style all you can eat was just a great addition and gave us an opportunity to interact with our small group of 8 tourists.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so glad your experience with Tourist Israel was positive and the pace was well-suited! Caesarea, Haifa, and Akko are incredibly beautiful spots, and we hope we'll have the opportunity to take you to even more iconic sights in Israel!

This was a very interesting tour Caesarea was awesome and Acre (Akko) too. Haifa was nice and pretty gardens, but not as interesting as a historic site. Our Tour Guide, Yael was awesome, energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She engaged with all of us and answered all sorts of questions. I'd say that our guide was one of the highlights of this tour.
We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the mix of sites and that Yael’s energy and knowledge stood out. Engaging with guests and encouraging questions are key to how our guides bring these destinations to life.
Absolutely fantastic experience! And the tour guide, Yael was just such a good history buff, and she was able to articulate all the events that happened in chronological order and how things transpired in Israel. Such an informative tour.
We appreciate you sharing this. Yael’s ability to connect events clearly and chronologically is something guests often value, and we’re glad it made the tour so informative and engaging for you.
Great trip. George was very knowledgeable and informative. Very helpful in taking pictures and showing the sights. Recommend him and the tour.
Thank you, Lori! We will be sure to pass on the kind words to George!
