Private Masada & Dead Sea: Unforgettable Day Trip from Tel Aviv

We had an incredible experience thanks to our amazing tour guide, Ariel! He was not only incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent, but also warm, kind, and professional throughout the entire tour. Ariel shared so much fascinating history with us, bringing each location to life with his insight and stories. He made sure we felt safe and comfortable the entire time and even took us to some hidden gems we would have never found on our own including the best lunch spot of the trip! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!

An amazing trip, one of the most beautiful ones of my life! We were so lucky to have Jonatan as a guide who was so prepared and made us laugh all the time. You can see that he really puts a passion in his job so he explained everything in the interesting way but in the way that he did not bother with too many details. Everything was planned into details and organized perfectly! A visit to Masada is a must because the scebery is something incredible. Not to speak about Dead Sea...something so special! A must! Many thanks also yo our driver, you and Jonatan were really the best! We had really wonderful time! Thank you so much!

Yoav (our driver and tour guide) was amazing. He showed up on time and in a pristinely clean air-conditioned van. We had six people with us ranging in age from 9 to 74 years old. Yoav created a wonderful experience for every person in our group. He was jovial, knowledgeable, and made the experience as fun as it could have been. We were so grateful to have him as our guide. I highly recommend this tour.

I’ve never had such an enthusiastic and fu. Tourguide like Ami. He knows how to paint the most beautiful pictures with his words and transported us into aromas bathhouse raves, the fight for Masada and did it with such emotion that you couldn’t help but get goosebumps from his stories. He also organized the tour to avoid the crowds, which was very smart of him. The only downside (and not Ami’s fault) is the fact that they drop you off to get lunch at a very crowded, touristy and expensive cantina. Eat at the Dead Sea or bring your own food if you want to avoid this. Overall I can absolutely recommend this tour - and any tour with Ami.

Avi was an amazing private tour guide! Unfortunately it was a rainy day and the cable car and outdoor areas of Masada were closed. However, Avi continually checked the weather reports, called colleagues at the Dead Sea to check on flooded roads and rearranged our schedule of the tour day so we could go to the museum at the Masada sight. Also, he offered choices for where we could swim in the Dead Sea. He was helpful for where we could buy some gifts to bring home. Avi shared a lot of interesting stories and historical information throughout our day. He was personable, fun and organized! My husband and I appreciate all his efforts for creating a memorable day for us.

Our guide was very good but the car left something to be desired. No one could stretch their legs in a 10 hour day.

We took Masada and Dead Sea trip from Jerusalem. We had stop at Ahana which manufactures creams out of Dead sea which was unwanted unless somebody wanted a break to freshen up. Then we were made to rush at Dead sea tour. If time was a constraint then such marketing tours are not required, this is to ensure that tourists get the maximum out of a trip. We were asked to rush at Dead sea with 1.5 hours given so you then focus on the time because you have to rush and get done quickly. Tour Charges are on a higher side, if you do not have any other cheaper and reliable option then you can opt for it since it is a reliable tour operator. Also like the way they give drops at respective locations of tourists, pickups should also be provided to make it convenient for tourists.

The guide we had was the most knowledgeable person I could have asked for. He knew basically everything about the history of Israel and the archeological parts as well

Nice and knowledgeable tour guide. Very accommodating and beautiful views at Masada. Was also very hot at the Dead Sea.
