Three Days of the Best of Bethlehem, Jerusalem,Masada, Dead Sea, and Galilee

Guided Tours Israel provided us with three outstanding days of tours while we were in Israel. Working with this company in planning the tours was extremely easy and they have by far gone above and beyond all of our expectations. Leo promptly answered any of my questions. It is definitely one of the best companies to use in planning tours. However, the best was yet to come. Ryan, an archaeologist, who has lived in Israel for the past 23 years and was originally from Texas, was the ultimate when it come to guides. His knowledge, his sincere and caring personality, and his presentation of facts made us truly feel like family. He made the history come alive and wanted all of us to see the past and present of life in Israel. We always felt safe and comfortable. Guided Israel Tours and Ryan provided us with three days of the best of what Israel has to offer!

Amazing experience!! Highly recommend!!

Ryan was our tour guide and wow! I was a little skeptical at first because he's from Texas (which I am as well), but this guy knows Israel! I cannot stress that enough. Our entire group was mesmerizes and blown away! It's been a week and I still think about all the detailed, unique, and interesting historical info he threw at us! After the tour, we couldn't stop talking about how enthralled we were in his lectures. He talks nonstop but I found myself hanging on every word lol my friend and I said that we wish he had his own podcast because we would sign up and listen for hours. The way he explains and describes history and facts was very different from any tour we experienced while on vacation. He breaks down the information to the bare bones to help you understand better. He possesses a ton of knowledge and left us wanting to know more! I highly recommend taking a tour with him! You will thoroughly enjoy your time! I feel motivated to learn more because of the new information I learned from him! 5 stars!!!

Average Experience

This was a good tour with alright hosts. Was still difficult to find them in the port without a sign. They also needed to update how they conduct a tour. In most of the churches and sacred sights, you cannot talk out loud and other tour groups had headphones. I was also given no options for lunch but what they took us to and we had to pay. All in All the guide was great and the driver was thoughtful. Was an average experience.

Operator response

Sorry you had a hard time finding us at port. We ALWAYS have a sign with our guests' FULL names on it. You must have missed it due to the high number of guests arriving at the same time. Thank you.

Guided Tours Israel: Did not disappoint

What a delightful day we spent with our tour guide, Ryan! He was a wealth of information and was attentive to our every need. He was able to share so much background information regarding each site we visited and answered my many questions with grace and patience. After visiting Jerusalem on a cruise ship excursion, I was thrilled that I booked with Guided Tours Israel to visit Nazareth and Galilee. Wish I had used them for each of my tours. I was equally thrilled with Leo who responded to many emails that I wrote him prior to our trip. He was always prompt in returning my correspondences which I deeply appreciated. Do not hesitate to use this company. Everything that they promised was delivered!

Operator response

Thank you for saying that we delivered everything that was promised! That is very kind of you. We hope to see you again soon! Guided Tours Israel
