3I decided to take my...
I decided to take my husband on this tour as it was his first time in Israel. We were happy to be able to see so much just in one day. However, we were disappointed with how disorganized the tour was. The biggest thing for us was that the driver was saying we weren’t going to be going to The Dead Sea. This was the highlight and main reason we booked the tour. After arguing with the driver We had to contact whoever was in charge and they told the driver we would be going to the Dead Sea. We were happy we got to see the places we wanted to however the disorganization did take away from our experience.
5Great experience
Best to bring your own food and water. The refreshments sold at the venues seemed very expensive to purchase.
