Guide Avi Tsaba

The tour with Bein Harim was enjoyable. But the best part was Avi, our tour guide. His knowledge of the history and cultures made it interesting and his humor kept us lively!

Golan Heights from Tel Aviv with Avishai Levi

This was my first time in Israel, ive always wanted to visit Golan Heights, i booked this tour and I can honestly say our tour guide 'Avishai Levi' was so passionate, amazing, informative and extremely kind and helpful. He took his time to explain things properly, and made the tour super fun. You can really tell that Avishai was extremely knowledgable about this area. I would like to Thankyou Mr Avishai Levi for making this tour super fun and memorable. Being back home now from Israel, I can still remember my Golan Heights tour. This was very special, Thankyou once again, from Rashi :)

Interesting Political Facts About Israel

We booked a multiple day tour from Bein Harim and this was our third day. We were picked up with a short delay of fifteen minutes (just as it is written in the documents they have sent). This time, we only had a driver and a tourguide in one, which made it a bit more difficult to understand. Sometimes, the guide interrupted while speaking, because he needed to focus on the traffic. And sometimes, we could not hear him well enough, because he turned his head aside to lock at the traffic. When he did this, his mouth was no longer in front of the microphone, wherefore a headset would have been better. Nevertheless, it is an interesting tour and gave an insight into the country of Israel by a perspective of defense. It was interesting to see the neighbour countries on the Mount Tal, to see the military base there and to even see a butterfly (Dovetail) there. Also the visit in Katzrin was great, especially because the celebrated on that they the anniversary of the Yom Kippur war (the victory of it). What also needs to be mentioned is the love for Israel our Tourguide Abishai showed. He told us some insider facts about Israel as for example the reason for the star of David in their flagg. There is one thing you'd need to consider when going on this tour: Toilets are generally available, but not at every stop.

Golan was lovely, guide/driver awful

Running out of gas in the middle of the highway and having to figure out how to get back to TelAviv as the driver/tour guide made no attempt to help us

A must do tour when visiting Israel

I nearly didn’t book this tour but I’m so glad I did. Eyal (apologies if I spelled your name wrong) did an amazing job of showing us around the Golan Heights which shouldn’t be missed on a trip to Israel. We saw so much, more than I had anticipated but the highlight for me was seeing the Syrian and Lebanon border from Mount Bental. We visited Katzrin which reminded me a bit of Pompeii, we had great views of the Sea of Galilee from a kibbutz, visited a baptismal site and also stopped for more amazing views and photo opportunities. There were plenty of toilet stops and opportunities to buy water/food. No unnecessary trips to factory shops thankfully. My kids loved this trip too. Thanks for a memorable trip Eyal. (One small negative - one of the bathroom stops on the way there was awful (poo stains everywhere, used tampons on the floor) and apparently you have to pay for loo roll which you don’t know until you ask in the shop. The other loos were all good!)
