Fabulous trip!

This trip is amazing! It was made so especially by our guide/driver Uvi who put everything into making it enjoyable. This man is a wealth of knowledge, humourous and great company. If in Israel this trip is a must, you won’t regret it!

Breathtaking Views

We had an amazing trip to Masada and the Dead Sea! Floating in the Dead Sea was unforgettable, and exploring the Masada hilltop fortress was fascinating. A big thank you to our guide, Jakob, for his excellent knowledge and engaging stories. Highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful experience

Excellent tour with our guide Avi, who was, once more, a very knowledgeable guide who shared the historical background and today‘s situation in a very interesting and understandable way. The spirit of Masada was very catching. Our driver Gabi completed the team, driving us safely with excellent taste in music. Can strongly recommend the tour.
