Cable car ride, walking tour of Masada, trip from Jerusalem to Masada The place we stopped at the Dead Sea was horrible. I’ve been there before and faked our guide not to go there but he refused to go to another place.

Yael was so lovely! She was a treasure trove of history! She was so professional and friendly. She spoke of her own life on a kibbutz and made us feel like old friends. Can’t wait to recommend her to my friends in the States!

Our trip to Masada and the Dead Sea

Our guide Ellie picked us up at our hotel promptly at 09:00 am. His knowledge of Masada was very impressive and he explained how, even though they were in the desert, the rebels had access to water. It was a very hot day and Ellie kept the A/C in the car at a comfortable level. He was also careful to make sure we had plenty of water to drink. All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day!

This was a great tour. If you have 5 people, the cost of a private tour is virtually the same as a group tour. Our guide was Moshe and I cannot say enough good things about my new friend. Not only is he fully versed in the history of the land, sites and people but he can also bring in the relevance and context of the different religious beliefs for any site. Moshe brought the site and struggle into focus and taught us about how the site of Masada survived in such a remote and harsh region. The other advantage to a private tour is flexibility and we were able to view Qasr el Yahud which was important to us because this was the site of the Baptism of Jesus as well as the site where the people entered the promised land. Because we have a small child that could not go into the Dead Sea, there was a different site that offers a fresh water pool to relax in so again, it's great to have the flexibility of a private tour. We will visit again, and we'll only do tours with Moshe in the future!

The day we went to Masada it started to rain and so I decided to leave early. Our guide was so nice, he substituted several basilicas that turned out to be as exciting as Masada. One was carved into the side of a mountain. It was breathtaking. The day was very full and exciting despite the dizzle.

CANCELARON FALTANDO POCO Y NO HAN REEMBOLSADO UN MES DESPUES

Solicitamos un Tour en ESPAÑOL a Masada y el Mar Muerto, el día anterior nos informan que no hay guia en español por lo que cancelamos ya que no entendemos otro idioma. Les escribo que ya nos hicieron el debido en la tarjeta de crédito y nos dicen que no hay problema y que reembolsarán. Hoy un mes después hemos enviado dos peticiones y nadie nos responde acerca del valor de 600 euros cargados a la tarjeta de crédito por un Tour que nunca tomamos.
