Amazing tour! - This tour was excellent, my tour guide Eyal was very knowledgeable and efficient. I would say that if someone has trouble walking or gets winded easily this might not be the tour for them. My mother struggled to keep up during the walking tour through the Old City and didnt even attempt the Dead Sea as the stairs down and incline would have exasperated her. Make sure to bring a towel and flip flops for the dead sea, I forgot both. The only feedback I have is that the walking tour takes you through and by many shops and not once is time given to shop there and explore, it would have been nice to be able to explore. They take you to 1 store and it feels very much like they only want you to purchase from that store. Overall this tour was fantastic.

Recommend! - The tour guide was very knowledegable. He made sure to offer as much information as possible. The views were incredible and the history involved everywhere we went was breathtaking. The only unfortunate thing was that it rained all day but no one has control over that.

Disappointing tour - Danny was our guide(Ben Harim tours)... In jerusalem he took to the souvenir shop(govt. Recommended) which accept only dollars. He didnt took to the Muslim quater and Al aqsa mosque. Said no time. Only muslim can visit. I requested him to wait for 15min so that i can visit and come quickly. For that also he didnt accept. There were so many restaurants in the jerusalem market , he didnt stopped there for lunch instead took to dead sea where the food was terrible and the cost also 2×outside restaurants. It looks to be he want to finish up the tour quickly. Very disappointing. Persons who travelled with me also didnt liked the tour . I went previously with Ben Harim tours to roshanikra, that was good.
