Our tour guide was great. Dead sea was exciting. Masada was fantastic! Amazing how history unfolded for these poor Jews back in the day.

Dima is a funny guy with a lot of knowledge about the area. He wouldn't leave anyone behind. Very good experience. I recommend this excursion and it was way cheaper compared to the cruise excursions

Great excursion from the cruise port. Michael the guide was waiting for us on arrival and was very knowledgeable and professional while presenting the history of the Dead Sea and Masada National park. Highly recommended!

We had a great time at Masada and the Dead Sea. Benjamin was a great tour guy. The views were amazing. Loved everything about this tour. Benjamin was very knowledgeable, answered our question, and was very entertaining. Would definitely recommend.

Masada and the Dead Sea were breathtaking. Tour guide was very passionate about the historical aspects of both, which makes a world of difference when it comes to teaching history on the top of a mountain 40c (105f) degree heat. Was more physically demanding than what I expected, but would have been fine if I brought more sunscreen and water. Would recommend.

The Dead Sea is a must do in Israel. Masada is rich in history but be prepared for a hike in the heat. Our guide and driver were amazing. We were an hour late due to ship and immigration issues but they waited for us. On the way back to our stop they took us the back way so we could get a different view. Highly recommend!!

We had looked forward to this particular tour forever but try as we might, it just wasn’t to be. Freak thunderstorms near Jerusalem caused flooding. Some of the roads were washout and there were sink holes reported. Our wonderful, knowledgeable guide, Eli Yaal, tried numerous times and ways to get us there. We made it as far as 6 miles away from the Dead Sea on our way to Masada. We could see the Dead Sea but that was as close as we were going to get. The police turned everyone around so Eli took us to Mamshit. It was an amazing archeological site and he was very knowledgeable about it. It was a super interesting tour there. Eli took us Be’er Sheera for lunch and a city walking tour. 99.9 percent of us loved the tour and Eli and we all totally understood why we couldn’t get to Masada or the Dead Sea. We did, unfortunately, have one woman who threw a fit from the moment she found out we couldn’t get there. She almost caused an altercation on the bus returning back to the shuttle to the ship. It is sad when people expect the unattainable. Eli handles everything professionally and the majority of us appreciated his efforts. He is well worth touring with again! Good job, Eli!

Ziv was a fun and entertaining guide. I really enjoyed him. The beach facilities at the Live Sea were sub par but it is a public place soooo there's that. Anyhoo, a good time was had. I don't think that you would be disappointed.
