Golan Heights and Galilee

Avi was a wonderful tour guide very knowledgeable and knew the people and the area so well. Golan Heights is a hidden gem tour ancient settlement and current olive production a unique view of Isreal. Orion was our Nazareth and Galilee tour guide he was wonderful we saw so many unique locations and he did a marvelous job explaining and making it a special trip. Nazareth was an eye opener, Capernaum so special and lunch at Kibbutz so enjoyable. Thanks for a perfect two days.

Trip of a lifetime

The trip was excellent. The places we visited were exciting. However, without much explanations from the guide, it is impossible to appreciate everything. Simon Robinson was a good and friendly guide. He seemed knowledgeable and ever willing to assist. His sense of humour lightened the Trip.

Good Tour of Northern Israel

This two-day tour is actually two one-day tours, so expect to be with different guides and people between the two days. The Golan Heights tour was good. We were interested in the region, but there weren't a lot of highlights. The guide was good and interacted with the group well. We took the Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee tour on the second day. The guide was about 40 minutes late picking us up. The guide on day one had warned us of this so, unfortunately, it may be common. The group was massive. Fortunately, the guide had assistance or else it would have been very difficult to keep track of everyone. We went through the sights incredibly quickly, so I would not recommend this if you want to tour at a more leisurely pace. There is a lot to see in this region. The only huge negative of our second day was the tourist restaurant where we were served lunch. I understand that it's easier to have the group eat in one place, but the food was really bad and the prices were outrageous. Everything was confusing from ordering to payment. There was no other choice but to eat there. Overall, we're glad that we took this tour because it covered the main sights. It would have been better with a smaller and more organized group on day two, but we did get to see a lot within two days.
