Visits with Yuval

I visited two beautiful places with the Yuval guide and it was great! We went first to Masada and the Dead Sea, then another day to Nazareth, Capernaum and Sea of Galille. Yuval is a great guide, kind, funny and intelligent with whom exchanges are easy and pleasant. Yuval is very cultured and told us a lot of stories on the spot, it was very interesting and rewarding. Also, Yuval is a very good photographer, it makes beautiful memories! The contact was easy for the start, everything is well organized and I felt safe throughout, I hope to come back one day, thank you for all Yuval!:)

Worth the cost of a private tour!

Nice day. Trip started and ended on time. Pick up was easy, guide spoke English and Covid protocol was utilized. The guide was knowledgeable and polite. For $760, we all still think it was a bit pricey, but one person in our group had a serious illness and the peace of mind in not exposing him to unnecessary germs or whatnot was worth the price.

Great guide. Not great company

We did a private tour and our guide was AMAZING. He told us about everything and stopped to tell us about a few special places. I will say that the tour had him stop at a tourist lunch place and beach instead of something that should have been much better considering we paid to have our own day not with a group. The lunch was not good and the beach was just a yucky public beach. But the guide was absolutely the best.
