Masada & The Dead Sea

I would highly recommend this day trip. Itamar , our guide is extremely knowledgeable. He was quite the entertainer which made it so fun for us. We had perfect weather which made the Dead Sea experience a dream! I’m so glad I didn’t hire a private tour guide because I met other travellers from different countries and made some new friends.

Bein Harim and Dan Porges all day long!

We actually did a 3 day tour that included old Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Masada, Dead Sea and In the Footsteps of Jesus in Jerusalem. Being from Nebraska we did not know what to expect. Our tour guides were incredible! Dan Porges and Omri were so knowledgeable and created a safe and fantastic tour for us. I highly recommend this tour guide service. There are so many different tours and Bein Harim is so organized that it is quite impressive. Go Bein Harim all the way! Dan Porges definitely was our favorite so Bein Harim if you are listening, give that man a raise! :)

Jerusalem & Bethlehem

Yoav Macachi was a really nice guide, he showed us all the details of all the places and was always open to answer any questions we had. Furthermore, he always took care of the group and made sure everyone was fine. You could also notice you were in good hands since everyone in all old jerusalem quarters knew him. Definitely recommend him.

Hava Dorany tour of Israel

Finally got mom to Israel . 8 years planning/ trying. Booked 2 day tour with Hava Dorany. . Absolutely phenomenal. I can’t say enough. The flexibility, experience, skilled driving and safety conscience of Hava enabled us to experience so much more that we could have imagined in our short visit to Israel. Truly grateful, Dwayne and Margaret Nadeau

Lucky Trip with Lorne

We enjoyed our family trip with the well organized tourism group of BeinHarim. Luck was on our side as the weathered favored us amd most of it all, we had a great tour guide in the name of Lorne. History and Humor, Religion and Respect, Facts and Fun. The trip to Israel and these important spots we booked became an amazing trip for us. Thanks for the good times Lorne and hopefully see you somewhere again soon! - mary
