Took a trip to the Dead Sea with my wife earlier this year and decided to repeat the experience with my mom, and also visit Masada. We both loved it! Shlomi was great and his stories were both fun and packed with information and history. The bus ride was extremely comfortable and the best way to do so much in just one day.
Thank you, Vlad! It means so much that you chose to travel with us again, this time sharing Masada and the Dead Sea with your mom after enjoying the Dead Sea with your wife earlier in the year. We're so glad you both loved it, and that Shlomi's stories brought the history to life while the comfortable ride helped you make the most of a full day. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him, and we'd love to welcome you back for your next adventure with Tourist Israel!
This was an amazing tour. We did so much in one day yet it wasnt exhausting. Masada and The Dead sea were amazing, I was overwhelmed with the beauty of Masada and the Dead sea is such a unique experience. The best part of the tour were Shlomi and Mouz who were both great. I traveled alone so having a tour guide who is friendly, welcoming and VERY funny is so essential. He gave just the right amount of everything; fun, jokes, help, knowledge 10/10 would def recommend any tour guided by him
Thank you for the amazing review! We're so happy you packed so much into one day on the Masada and Dead Sea tour without feeling exhausted, and that the beauty of Masada and the unique experience of the Dead Sea left such an impression. Shlomi and Mouz will be thrilled to hear they were the highlight; a friendly, welcoming and genuinely funny guide makes all the difference, especially when traveling solo. Thank you for the 10/10 recommendation, and we'd love to welcome you back for another unforgettable tour with Tourist Israel!

Sharif was the best guide for this tour. Nice car, took care of everything, good relations in the zone and the best part, Sharif is an archeological expert who can share details about the zone that almost nobody can. Masada was an amazing place and Sharif took us to the top of the mountain in a nice cable.
