Masada & Dead Sea Tour - Masada is a must see attraction to see in Israel. So much history and archaeology there. Tour was very good. Tour guide from Ben Harum (Ricki) did a good job. Extremely hot though but Masada has cold water available to pour into containers. Dead Sea was as respected. But, there is a long downhill climb from bath house to beach which means there is a long up line to walk when out of water. Also, you have to take steps you into the water. There is no wading in which can be difficult for old knees.

Put us in the wrong tour group - The booking agent put us in the wrong tour group, so we missed the whole moring part of Masada. There are a lot of similar tours, you can easily found a substitution and probably with better organizing.

Disorganized tour - Tour was extremely disorganized. Changed buses 3 times, went to Dead Sea first instead of Masada first. 13 hours from pickup to drop off.

Day trip to Masada and the Dead Sea - Not worth it Masada was closed and the alternative itinerary was so crowded you couldn’t sea (baptism site) and I wasn’t that interested in the Quaram caves Dead Sea was ok but I have been there before in better weather I signed up to go to Masada and that I didn’t get so I am not happy. Guide was ok but I have had much better it was disorganised and we weren’t offered the option to do anything different I appreciate the weather but we should have been offered the option to stay at home and not waste the day
