Traveler reviews
Incredible experience with outstanding guides
Cannot possibly say enough about this experience. Picked up at hotel and brought to meet another bus at a Cafe with an incredible view of Jerusalem - bonus! Joined our charistmatic Brddoin guide Ali, one other person in the 4x4 with us. I don't think there is anything Ali does not know - our tour was filled with history, getting to see and head about desert plants and their uses, desert animals, desert survival, Bedoin customs. We learned so much while traversing rocky paths up and down inclines sometimes steeper than any I have experiences in anything other than a roller coaster. After a nice long sojourn we met up with another bus that took us to Qumran center for lunch and then down to the Dead Sea. Guide for this portion of the trip was Dan Porges, another fine and knowledgeable guide who was good at keeping everyone together and moving. Tour included some additional small stops (in listing) that we also found valuable. The buses that took us to and from Jerusalem had good a/c and working usb ports. I could not have asked for any more from this day. I would absolutely use this tour company again - will be seeking them out for additional tours in the future, and also recommending them to anyone who asks. Seriously, what a great day!
Incredible tour of Masada & the Dead Sea - highly recommend!
We did a tour of Masada and the Dead Sea from Jerusalem and had an incredible day! Our tour guide Yoav was brilliant. He was very informative, funny and answered everyone’s questions. The day was very well organised and everything ran smoothly. This is a great way to explore this beautiful part of Israel. I would highly recommend Bein Harim Tours.
TOTALLY DEFRAUDED
Totally defrauded This is the scrap we have been put on for the excursion, we have paid more than 300 € to go in that scrap car, in full sun, swallowing dust and about to tip over several times, it is a shame, you sell it as a 4x4 with air conditioning. No safety, no hygiene, no comfort, hold on where you can because you fly out. He has no seat belts, no windows, nothing... I've never ridden a vehicle so old and dirty. You should give us the money back, since our wasted vacation time is not returned by anyone. Confirmation number: 1319786794Reservation reference number: 930226814
Desert Jeep Tour
Ali‘s Tour through the judean desert was absolutely amazing and a once in a life time experience to us. Would recommend it to everyone - lifechanging experience and such a nice Person !
Incredible safari and Bedouin picnic
We had a great time with Dan Porges as our tour guide and Ali driving us around the Dead Sea! Ali made a great narrator while making sure we all felt safe traversing the desert. The highlight of the trip was a lovely picnic with Ali out the back of the 4WD, overlooking the stunning gorge and monastery. It was a shame that we missed the Qumran caves due to last-minute rearrangements, but overall would highly recommend this tour!
