The most amazing place to be, relaxing with family & friends. Very healthy for your skin. Enjoy your trip from Jerusalem.
Glad you came away with a memooable tour experience
We were booked onto this trip today (07/10) we were picked up on time but didn't make the destinations due to the war breaking out on route to Jerusalem. We want to thank our tour guide Roy & the driver of the coach for keeping us safe whilst the rockets flew over & bombs were going off. To say they were professional is an understatement. They kept everyone calm & informed throughout.
We'd like to give a big shoutout to our tour guide, Roy, and our driver Itamar for their professionalism and care during your tour on a day filled with unexpected challenges. They really went above and beyond to keep everyone safe, calm, and informed. Your safety is super important to us. We hope to see you again soon for a more positive and fun experience!
Me and my mum took this tour with Ben Harim our tour guide was Tomer Glick. Tomer made this tour very interactive and enjoyable. We learned a lot of history on the tour. Tomer was very approachable and happy to answer any questions we had! We would definitely do another Ben Harim tour next time we visit Israel. Thank you Tomer! Stephanie O’Connell.
Thank you, Stephanie, for your positive feedback about your tour with Tomer! We're delighted to hear that he made the tour interactive and enjoyable while providing you with valuable historical insights. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you and your mum on another Bein Harim tour during your next visit to Israel.
Transfer was great, lunch restaurant was great, relatively large group, tight schedule, not all questions were answered 100%, Dead Sea was great. Stop in the souvenir shop was unnecessary, would have preferred 20 minutes to shop in the small shops
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed aspects of your tour like the transfer, lunch, and the Dead Sea. We appreciate your input regarding the schedule and the souvenir shop, and we'll take it into consideration for future improvements.
Fantastic tour. Very interesting. Full day though with early start. Tour guide Itamar was fantastic, made it funny and informative without being boring. Had a great personality. Would definitely recommend this tour. Only negative for us was too much time was spent in the gift shops and not enough time at the Western Wall which was only 20 minutes plus for some reason we didn’t go under the wall which I would have liked Also would have liked some spare time to look at the Shuk (market) Apart from that fantastic day out! Dead Sea was extremely hot 42 degrees but well worth a visit
Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your review. We're delighted to hear that you had a fantastic day overall, enjoyed the company of our tour guide, Itamar, and found the experience interesting. We apologize for any confusion regarding the tour itinerary. Please note that the Western Wall Tunnel and the market are not part of this tour.
A full day was made extra special by our guide Erez,he was full of information and knowledge.A very enjoyable day.
Thanks for sharing that you had a great informative and memorable tour experience with Erez.
Eric was amazing. His wealth of knowledge but also intuition to ask questions about what I wanted from the experience meant I had a custom suited day. Absolutely recommend.
Great and sincere feedback. Eric sure is worthy of your praise for his efforts.
I showed driver and guide where I need to be dropped off for a Dead Sea hotel, they dropped me at a bus station where no bus came, and I had to walk 20 mins in the desert and pay a random stranger 1000 sheqels to get back to Tel Aviv
We're sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced with the drop-off location during your Dead Sea tour. Firstly, please note that we do not offer drop-off services at hotels located at the Dead Sea, as they are significantly farther south from our current location. Secondly, we would like to clarify the charge for transportation back to Tel Aviv when you are staying at a Dead Sea hotel.
The best and most complete tour!!!! The first half was incredible because I got to know and tour Jerusalem and its history. They comply with everything they indicate, so much so that I plan to return this year and resume this tour! I also really liked the second part at the Dead Sea, and it was relaxing.
So happy you came away with a tour experience that was well worth it and is cherished always. we are glad to hear that you plan on choosing this tour company again in the future.
The description of the tour was pretty accurate except they don't actually pick you up from your hotel like it says. They give you a hotel near yours but not exactly where you're staying. The tour guide Roy was vèry entertaining and knowledgeable and the driver Itzik was very professional and also funny. He carried a hand gun which made me feel pretty safe. The tour was supposed to be over at 5pm but we didn't get dropped of till 7:45pm the only real complaint is a couple stops at tourist trap souvenir stores that were outrageously expensive. Unless they're getting a kick back there's no need to waste 2 hours for souvenirs on a 10 hour (in our case 13 hour) tour
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the tour. We're glad to hear that the tour guide Roy was entertaining and knowledgeable and that the driver Itzik made you feel safe during the trip. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope you enjoyed the other aspects of the tour and had a memorable experience overall.
