Breathtaking Views
We had an amazing trip to Masada and the Dead Sea! Floating in the Dead Sea was unforgettable, and exploring the Masada hilltop fortress was fascinating. A big thank you to our guide, Jakob, for his excellent knowledge and engaging stories. Highly recommend this tour!
Shlomi is the best!
Shlomi with tour Israel took us to Masada and the Dead Sea! It was a jam packed day filled with adventure, information, humor, and great people. The driver Basheer was also amazing. Love them!
Wonderful experience
Excellent tour with our guide Avi, who was, once more, a very knowledgeable guide who shared the historical background and today‘s situation in a very interesting and understandable way. The spirit of Masada was very catching. Our driver Gabi completed the team, driving us safely with excellent taste in music. Can strongly recommend the tour.
You won't regret it! ...
You won't regret it! Pack lots of water and snacks. For the Dead Sea it was a bit crowded but it did not alter my experience at all. The views were amazing. Plenty of amenities to rinse and shower right at the beach. More showers up at the gift shop and parking lot where you get off the bus.
They never picked us up and we were told that there was no tour!
We booked this tour on Viator two days in advance and received both a reference code and a confirmation code as well as our tickets. We received countdown emails letting us know our tour was coming. We were also charged the full amount on our credit card on the day of our scheduled tour. Our scheduled tour pickup time was 7:15 am so we arrived at 7:00 am. First strange thing was the pickup location was at a hotel that is no longer in business. We waited until 7:25 am and then called the tour agent who informed me that they had no record of our reservation and that they were not running any tours, given the current geopolitical situation. I provided our confirmation codes and explained that we had received both our tickets and an email as late as the morning of the tour. He apologized and asked me to send the documents to his WhatsApp number, which didn’t exist on the WhatsApp application. We have used Viator for many of our trips but are now questioning this. We now are left trying to get a refund and had to reconfigure our plans for the day.
