An unforgettable experience!
This was truly the best tour I have ever been on. Eyal and our driver, Joshua, were absolutely amazing, so kind, patient, and thoughtful. I traveled with my mother, who has a disability, and at the start I was very nervous. The walk at Masada is intense, with many ups and downs, and it can be challenging and slippery for anyone with mobility issues. However, Eyal thoughtfully broke the walk into manageable parts, made sure we took regular breaks, and allowed my mom time to rest. To my amazement, she completed the entire walk and still had enough energy to float in the Dead Sea afterward! It was truly incredible. My mom had an unforgettable experience and couldn’t believe she was able to do it. Eyal was also extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating historical stories throughout the tour. I was completely blown away. I also really wanted to ride a camel and get a photo, and Eyal was so accommodating and made it happen. Our driver, Joshua, was amazing and took a beautiful video of me riding the camel. It’s something I will cherish forever, my heart is truly so full. This experience exceeded all my expectations, and I will definitely be bringing my husband next time. Highly recommended!
