          Masada Dead sea relax
          I really enjoyed the trip! The guide Eyal was very provident and professional! I Learned a lot about the places we passed by. We went through the sites without any hurry. The things were explained in an very eupeptic manner. Although we passed through the Westbank in summer 2024, there was no impression of any danger on the way. Local people we found where very kind at all places. The stay at the beach was about 1.5h, enough to enjoy this extraordinary place. Thanks for a very nice trip!

          Jerusalem in a rush
          It was a really nice trip! The guide Abu Shai was very professional, a history professor giving courses in US universities, as he stated. And indeed a lot of historical background was given beyond the facts about the sites we visited. Furthermore information was always intended to be in a consistent (not always religious) context. I really enjoyed the discussions. Unfortunately, we went through Jerusalem with a great portion of hurry, not really giving us time to rest and contemplate as I would have preferred for such a magic place on earth. People were also told to don't stop at any stall or photographic site except the ones we were told by the guide. The excuse was that we had to pass by so many places in the given time frame. Finally we finished the tour in around 6 hours. Anyway I learned a lot and enjoyed what I found. Thanks

          Unforgettable Masada and Dead Sea Adventure!
          This "Masada and the Dead Sea Day Trip from Tel Aviv" was incredible! The convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off, combined with comfortable air-conditioned travel, made the journey stress-free. Our guide's detailed explanations at Masada were enlightening, enhancing our appreciation of this historic site. Floating in the Dead Sea was a surreal experience, with optional therapeutic treatments available. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Israel!

          Trip of a lifetime!
          Avi was our driver and tour guide. Easy efficient pick up and drop off. This was a 'return' trip for me after 53 years. Avi made the trip live up to all my expectations and more. We covered the Sea Level pit stop on the way down to the rift valley from Jerusalem. The cable car ascent of Masada and Avi gave us just the right depth of insight without any stress or rush. Then our time at Kalil Beach for our float in the Dead Sea and our self-pasting with Dead Sea mud was the best! A once in a lifetime experience not to be missed. It was a humbling honour to be blazing the trail for the return of tourism to Israel after the devastation wrought on 7 October 2023.

          The operator cancelled the tour 12 hours beforehand and all the others were booked. Unacceptable and unprofessional. The guide then did not return text messages. Stay away from this.

          Horrible experience with Viator
          Horrible tour to Valle de Guadalupe We bought a tour to Valle de Guadalupe, from a supposed “Tour company.” They sent us 4 people plus the driver in a 4 persons sedan car, my daughter had to go in the middle for 6 hours. The driver was talking on the phone back and forth, when I told him that I thought it was dangerous for us to do it, he said that he had a lot of experience driving 8 wheelers, so he didn't stop. I don't think it's allowed to take tourists this way. So unprofessional, didn't know anything about the area, he just transported us to the destination in the most uncomfortable and dangerous way. At the last point, the vineyard where they gave us a cheese board, he sat at our table and loudly talked on her cell phone, taking away the only pleasant experience of the entire day. What he did share with us, was all the dangerous places in the area. Although the driver tried, this company is not a professional tour company. We brought a bigger and safer truck, if we had known how bad it would be, we would have left on our own.

          Bad experience!
          This tour was badly organized .First we waited outside the hotel for an hour before we were picked up .No one knew where to go .We thought we were finally starting the trip .But we were taken to this hilly top where we waited another hour in a dingy cafe . The tour was rushed as it was getting late .For lunch everyone is taken to this awful resturant with chaos ,substandard food and fighting crowds . Before going into the resturant you have to go thru a shop and they push coupons to you to buy super expensive products . Guide did not have much knowledge or rather one sided knowledge .We were rushed thru Masada which was the main attraction .I asked him a couple of questions breaking his monologue. He did not like it and was very rude . Do not take this tour .If you do bring your own food . It was a waste of money .

          Natural beauty and historical sites in the Heights
          The Golan Heights is an area of outstanding natural beauty and intriguing historical sites It was captured from Syria during the Six Day War in 1967 and is now part of Israel. The Golan Heights is of great strategic importance, it has a commanding view of the northern Galilee. Apart from its military value, the Golan is a fertile agricultural region. The trip from Jerusalem to the Golan takes around two hours by car.

        We were looking for a way to see Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee on a day trip from Tel-Aviv, so this tour sounded perfect. It did not disappoint! We went on 13 Jan 2020. Danny was a wonderful guide, keeping us informed and entertained throughout a 12 hour day. Pickup near our hotel was easy and on time, and the entire day was well-organized and upbeat. We saw everything on the itinerary, as well as a stop at the Jordanian border for some quick photos. There was time for some shopping in Nazareth, where we picked up a bottle of local wine. Lunch was at St. Peter's Restaurant (on the shore of the Sea of Galilee), where there were four fish, chicken, or kebab options, plus a non-meat falafel meal. The small bus we took seated around 25, and all seats were full except for one. There was space for luggage underneath the bus, and small overhead compartments above the seats. Everyone on our tour was great, and it was a very enjoyable day. Thanks Danny, and Bein Harim Tours!

        Hey, it’s the French group with the cute grand ma !

        So, the day started roughly, pick up time was supposed to be between 5:35 and 5:55, it came at 6:40 with a misunderstanding because we were told to wait at Prima Kings hotel while the tour was told to pick us up at another hotel.

        If we just stop here that sounds chaotic right ? But then Dorit came in, and oh god she is a peach ! We left Prima Kins hotel at 6:40, and Dorit kept speaking from 6:40, to 18:30 when we came back, not a single moment we were annoyed, very interesting things all the way though the trip, her English is flawless, she is energetic, running around everywhere so we can spend a good moment and take time to prey, while she’s in charge !

        We first went to Nazareth, where she guided us through the annunciation basilica. The architecture was very impressing, the art was modern and yet it was gorgeous. Then we went to the St Joseph chapel nearby. She brought us to a Christian store in Nazareth full of very welcoming person.

        We then went to the church of the multiplication of loaves and fish. Very beautiful near Tierran lake.

        Then off to capernaüm, we visited the old synagogue of Jesus and the house of peter with a magnificent church built on it. And we could take picture on the shores of the Galilean sea.

        We then went to eat launch in a restaurant with salad buffet and a good menu. Then we could access the beach on the Galilean sea shores.

        We then finished our trip by going to the Jarmenit baptism site, where people could get baptized, the energy from this site was sooo great, people were clapping, singing, screaming hallelujah as other people were being immersed by priests in the water of the Jordan river. That place was happy and heartwarming. About 10 hours were already passed and we drove back to Jerusalem where they dropped us near our hotel.

        This journey was wonderful, landscapes were gorgeous, full of spirituality, the energies were so positive, and Dorit was the most wonderful guide we’ve ever had, said my 80 years old grand ma that travels a lot !

        Thanks again for Dorit and Shy (the bus conductor) for this awesome trip to Nazareth ! :)

        We completed this tour and had a great day! Our guide was Haya - she was very experienced and had a lot of great information & history to share everywhere we went. It's a long ride from the pickup, but Haya used the time to give detailed background on the area and history.
        Lunch was in a kibbutz -- it was not great, but we were hungry so it served the purpose. As with every other tour we took in Israel, lunch is a separate fee so be sure to include that in your budget.
        This tour definitely required knees and shoulders to be covered for entry into several areas. Be sure to be prepared, even though it's hot in the summer. You're on the bus a good amount of time so it's bearable and I didn't want to miss any stops because of the dress code.
        Overall, this was a great excursion and we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing these areas.

        I’ve been to this tour on thursday, jan 2nd 2020, with my girlfriend. It was a stressful day and I have been insulted by the tour company employees.

        The weather that day was terrible, it rained all day long, and that was not the tour guide’s fault. But that’s the least of the problems that day.

        The tour guide (Saar) was BY FAR the worst tour guide we had in Israel (out of a total of 7 tours). He didn’t give much explanations about the trip, about the locations we visited, he basically just walked the group to each site and said what was it and couple of facts that were written right in front of us. His english skills were very limited and everyone at the group struggled to understand him…. He was very poor at organizing and controlling the tour group, several times he’s lost group members and we took long time under rain waiting for the group to reunite. It was very frustrating to spend the whole day with him and we didn’t even had the choice to leave the tour… it was a pain to endure all day long with this appalling tour guide!

        By the end of the day, if the bad experiences haven’t been enough so far, then it happened the coronation of this disgusting tour: the bus driver “forgot” to drop us off at our hotel and when we were about 2 km away, I looked into Google Maps and questioned the guide Saar, who asked the bus driver to come back… This bus driver stopped the bus, refused to come back or at least leave us closer to the hotel, and yelled at us to step down the bus right away. I refused to it, complained with Saar….he told me, very undisturbed, that he could not force the bus driver to come back so we should just leave and walk back. I understand a little hebrew, and the driver was cursing us in hebrew while he was telling Saar he WAS NOT coming back to drop us off and “fu** these tourists, they will walk back”.

        This was our last tour in Israel, it left a terrible memory and I everyone that considers using this company - Bein Harim - services must know they have this low level of people working in their staff, and any tour might turn out to be a nightmare day like this.

        There are other tour companies we used in Israel and their services were MUCH better, not to mention we didn’t have any complains at all.

        Dear Marcel, We are most regretful that this was the nature of your tour experience with Bein Harim. As you can see it is most certainly not our reputation at all, nor for our highly recommended tour guides and our tour management. Saar may be young but he is not an inexperienced tour guide (officially licensed to guide in English and proficient, therefore). He also has a most pleasant manner and excellent tour management skills. However, may we say that this particular day, and your trip to the North, was indeed a harsh day operationally, by all standards. We have no reason to hide behind any excuses, fact, heavy rainfall compounds moving around in a group. People have different paces, under such conditions for sure. It was a day of the harshest rainfall in the North of Israel in about 50 years over 110mm of rain (yearly average). It meant having to be super organized, this may have posed problems for him, and probably any tour guide. Saar has reported with much regret and apology that this was the nature of your experience of him. He certainly had no reason not to cooperate with you, and thus threaten his own position and make him liable for such a severe complaint. We are much more disturbed what you describe as the behavior of the bus driver and your hotel drop off proximity (we subcontract when there are large volumes of travelers). Your report has been passed onto the bus company for investigation and we will certainly not use this driver based on what you describe. We strive to provide the best possible service even when conditions hamper doing so. We will continue to follow this severe complaint on your private mail platform. Kindly accept our sincere apologies for having come away with such an experience. May we add that this is not at all reflective of our overall tourism services of the highest standard that we strive to operate daily and of the 94% satisfied travelers who report so on this platform. Sincerely, Bein Harim Tourism Services team

        The tour was well organised and the guide Dan was very good. However for a 12 hour trip - at least half of which was spent in the bus - it was a bit disappointing. The river Jordan was a nice spot if a bit touristy, Capernaum was good, Nazareth consists of visiting two modern churches with crypts that may or may not be the sites of Mary & Joseph's homes, followed by an obligatory visit to a very expensive souvenir shop. The best part was Dan's commentary on everything to do with Israel.

        We literally just climbed off the bus after a day spent exploring Nazareth and places around the Sea of Galilee, including Capernaum. Tiberius, and the purported baptism site of Jesus at the Jordan River. We were thoroughly entertained and educated by our fantastic guide, Dorit, and the skill of our driver Mohammed was simply amazing. Dorit was a bottomless font of knowledge and managed to wrangle our crowd of 32 tourists in a most professional and even joyful manner. Bravo to the team of Dorit and Mohammed!

        We booked the 2 day tour from Tel Aviv (combination of Caeserea, Rosh Hanikra and Acre Day Trip from Tel Aviv (day 1) and Nazareth and Galilee (day 2) with overnight stay in Galilee. However, the tour was organised in the reverse order (which I did not notice in the confirmation until that day) and hence we wasted lot of time in travelling back and forth to the hotel and pickup locations which we would have spent more time on sacred places and visited important locations in Nazareth and Galilee. Most of the places were pass-by (as per the itinerary). Thanks to the tour guide David (day 1) for organising the taxis for us. Very happy with the hotel (accommodation). Day 2 was ok. Tour guide was informative, but would expect to be more presentable. I would recommend a private tour (with a local tour guide) in Nazareth and Galilee if you are on a pilgrimage. Also, wasting time in waiting for all to gather in each location when it is a big bus.

        We appreciate both your positive and constructive comments. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused by the reverse order of the tour itinerary. Please note that tour itinerary orders may occasionally change depending on the day of departure and various logistical factors. We're glad to hear that David, the tour guide on day 1, was helpful in organizing taxis for you and that you were satisfied with the hotel accommodation. We appreciate your feedback regarding the tour guide on day 2 and will take it into consideration for further improvement.

        If all you need is a ride, this will technically work. The actual “tour” consisted largely of a man citing a few Bible passages at each location. The guide seemed unaware that patrons might be familiar with recent Middle East history and/or the Gospels. He frequently misrepresented regional history. The biblical history is more accurately and discursively represented on the signs on site. Maybe there is someone on a Nazareth tour who hasn’t read the Bible, but it seems unlikely. Furthermore, the passages were also on signs. Reading selectively from New Testament is this not useful. The egregious misrepresentation of the history of Israel grew distracting, tiresome, and a disservice to those familiar with what happened.

        The original tour we signed up for included a stop at Tiberius. We were changed to this tour, which did not stop at the Roman site. Be advised that though Tiberius is in the name, you will not get to see it. You do drive near it.

        Dear 91apples, We are regretful that you felt that the guide's commentary was misrepresenting. Knowing your guide and his knoweldge and professionalism we are sure he made every effort to provide accurate commentary to the best of his knowledge and ability. Correcting you, regarding Tiberius, there is no time for the stop there, we only drive through Tiberius. Best, Bein Harim team

        The whole trip was very rushed but satisfying. We went to the Church of the Annunciation, the Baptism in the Jordan River, the ruins of Capernaum and the Church of Five Loaves and Two Fishes. The tour guide explained clearly and patiently. The only complaint was that for lunch, we were taken to a restaurant to eat fish, only offers fried fish, kebab skewers and salads for USD25/set, and drinks are charged separately.

        The stops at the Church of Mary and the Church of St. Paul were great and our guide, Yosef, did a great job of highlighting the significance of the events. After the churches it was time for the 30+ min obligatory stop at the kitschy gift shop before heading to the Sea of Galilee. The village on the shores of Galilee was surprisingly serene and beautiful and it was easy to transport yourself to biblical times. During your $20-$25 banquet room style lunch stop (not including drinks) just know that the tilapia from Galilee is served as a whole fish, not a filet, so if this bothers you go for the red snapper which is a traditional breaded and fried fish filet. We also stopped at the Jordan River baptism site which, was beautiful and sentence and also custom built for individual and group baptisms with ramps, etc. to access the water easily. Our guide did depart the tour early because his home was on the north side of Tel Aviv which created some confusion on the tour drop off stops. Tip would have been double had he not chosen to exit early.

        Thanks, Don for all the reviews on the numerous tours you took with us. We are glad you were satisfied with the guide Yosef and that you thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular locations visited. Glad you were happy with the baptism location on Yardenit. Again regarding the restaurant stop, You saw for yourself over a few days, this is the general price for lunch. we have to stop at places that cater to groups and provide bathroom facilities.
