One of the best experiences of my life. The view from Massada is awesome, afterwards we ate in the restaurant of this arqueological park which the food was really good and clean.
I suggest to take an umbrela to protect from UV rays.

Great trip with a somewhat eccentric Israeli guide. Gave great input to the present situation in Israel as well as a glance backwards in the historic mirror to prove his opinions and facts. I can truly recommend this trip.

Wonderful guide. He gave us perspective and history. Could not stop the rain, however. Only problem was that we were not dropped off at our hotel - just a block away. Otherwise very good!

It was Fantastic my wife and I enjoyed everything apart from the Cruise people who we encountered on our outing to Mount Masada they were rude and obnoxious ... We all had to stick the crowds this particular day and our Tour Guide had a very tough job to Speak about Mesada as the other tour Guides kept speaking over him and interrupting him .. He was a very passionate man and Loved Masada and in kind we loved our historical insight and his kindness throughout the trip ... I would give our experience of this tour guide and Trip 10/10 .... Beautiful and Eye opening and we were lucky with our Driver / Guide . He was amazing thank you and What a Beautiful Country you live in .. Everything was just unforgettable in the most positive way Gearoid and Orla Griffin Ireland .

Wonderful, wonderful guide!! Haya (sp?) was so informative! Great sense of humor! ! Loved the tour of Masada - perfect time of the year to be there. Swimming at the Dead Sea location was crowded and not as clean as other parts I've been too and would have liked. Beautiful day - education, fun and sun!

This tour was fantastic. Masada is amazing and the Dead Sea was also great fun. We had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and kept things interesting. Great value and definitely worth doing if you are in Jerusalem!

Great trip, perfect timing/pace/logistics. Overpriced though good meal at Masada - $37 for soup/salad/chick w rice and a cake n coffee. I was fortunate to be in JLM as for Tel Aviv group that day trip turned at least 3 hrs longer with driving/waiting for uniting both groups time. Due to unusual low tourist flow on Passover we did not have to wait for meals/cable cars. Dead sea stop is great, enough time to soak in water and silky black mud full body mask. Overall we were given 1.5 hr there, minus changing/walking to beach time it was at least an hour to enjoy the wonders of Dead Sea. Stop at famous Ahava Dead Sea product factory/store was only 30 min, on the way to Massada. TOO short to wrap your mind on what to choose and look through products. No time for store presentation. Thank God, there were enough assistance to help you w choices. But haste was stressful. Guide Menashem was very knowledgable and brought additional illustrative materials for Massada story. One could tell he really cares personally about the Israeli history and Massada in particularly. Trip is VERY worth of money value and time.

This was the best tour I have ever been on. Apart from what we experienced, which was amazing, the tour guide was awesome! He was funny, knowledgable and very engaging. He didn't just regurgitate information but imparted knowledge and insights that you will remember. 110% recommend this tour and hopefully the tour guide - can't remember his real name but he said call him Isaac. Thank you!
