Wonderful day with Avi at Masada, Ein Gedi & the Dead Sea!

Avi was absolutely wonderful!! We had such a great day with him visiting Masada, Ein Gedi, and the Dead Sea. He was kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, and he made the whole experience feel easy, interesting, and fun. He adapted perfectly to our family and kept our two kids engaged, even in the heat. He always knew where to stop, where to find shade, and how to share the history in a way that was fascinating but never too heavy. His car was also very comfortable, which made the long drive to and from Tel Aviv so much easier. It was a long, hot day, but it went by so fast because we were having such a good time. We would absolutely book Avi again and are already looking forward to more adventures with him!

We did a private tour with Enrique through Compass Travel Israel and it was the best thing we did our whole trip.

We did a private tour with Enrique through Compass Travel Israel and it was the best thing we did our whole trip. From our 8am pick up, to our 6pm drop off, Enrique educated us about the rich history of Israel. The manner in which he passed on his knowledge of religion and history with such warmth and humor made the tour exciting from start to finish. He captivated you into the stories of the bible, Jesus, king Herod, the Roman Empire, Sicarii, amongst many others. The way in which he told us these histories made you feel like you were experiencing history as you walked amongst the ruins of it. Even for people who aren’t as interested in history, you will feel enthralled by the way he paints pictures of these events. We were so impacted by our experience in the most positive of ways. By the end of the trip he truly felt like family. We can’t stop telling people about it.

Amazing experience!

I had an amazing experience at the Dead Sea and Masada tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Enrique. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history throughout the entire trip you could tell he genuinely loves what he does and knows the subject inside and out. Enrique was extremely kind, welcoming, and friendly from start to finish. He made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of, and his hospitality really stood out. The whole experience felt organized, fun, and personal because of him. If you’re thinking about doing a Dead Sea and Masada tour, I highly recommend it and if you get Enrique as your guide, you’re in great hands.

Amazing experience! Reccomend 100%

Everything was amazing in this tour! The guide took all the time to explain to us everything we were seeing, and answered all of our questions. She was more than patient with us at the dead sea, and made it all unforgettable. She truly spoke from experience and transmitted the love she has for this beautiful country
