Highlights

Head to Israel’s Golan Heights, with historical heritage to match its mountainous beauty, on a day trip from Tel Aviv! On route to the region, enjoy several photo stops – including one at the sacred baptismal site of Yarendit – and then explore the ancient Jewish village of Katzrin, the capital of Golan Heights. See its 6th-century synagogue on a walking tour, and then travel to the summit of Mount Bental, to view the vistas from one of Israel’s most impressive dormant volcanoes.

  • 5Guide Avi Tsaba

    The tour with Bein Harim was enjoyable. But the best part was Avi, our tour guide. His knowledge of the history and cultures made it interesting and his humor kept us lively!

  • 5Golan Heights from Tel Aviv with Avishai Levi

    This was my first time in Israel, ive always wanted to visit Golan Heights, i booked this tour and I can honestly say our tour guide 'Avishai Levi' was so passionate, amazing, informative and extremely kind and helpful. He took his time to explain things properly, and made the tour super fun. You can really tell that Avishai was extremely knowledgable about this area. I would like to Thankyou Mr Avishai Levi for making this tour super fun and memorable. Being back home now from Israel, I can still remember my Golan Heights tour. This was very special, Thankyou once again, from Rashi :)

  • 5Interesting Political Facts About Israel

    We booked a multiple day tour from Bein Harim and this was our third day. We were picked up with a short delay of fifteen minutes (just as it is written in the documents they have sent). This time, we only had a driver and a tourguide in one, which made it a bit more difficult to understand. Sometimes, the guide interrupted while speaking, because he needed to focus on the traffic. And sometimes, we could not hear him well enough, because he turned his head aside to lock at the traffic. When he did this, his mouth was no longer in front of the microphone, wherefore a headset would have been better. Nevertheless, it is an interesting tour and gave an insight into the country of Israel by a perspective of defense. It was interesting to see the neighbour countries on the Mount Tal, to see the military base there and to even see a butterfly (Dovetail) there. Also the visit in Katzrin was great, especially because the celebrated on that they the anniversary of the Yom Kippur war (the victory of it). What also needs to be mentioned is the love for Israel our Tourguide Abishai showed. He told us some insider facts about Israel as for example the reason for the star of David in their flagg. There is one thing you'd need to consider when going on this tour: Toilets are generally available, but not at every stop.

  • 1Golan was lovely, guide/driver awful

    Running out of gas in the middle of the highway and having to figure out how to get back to TelAviv as the driver/tour guide made no attempt to help us

  • 5A must do tour when visiting Israel

    I nearly didn’t book this tour but I’m so glad I did. Eyal (apologies if I spelled your name wrong) did an amazing job of showing us around the Golan Heights which shouldn’t be missed on a trip to Israel. We saw so much, more than I had anticipated but the highlight for me was seeing the Syrian and Lebanon border from Mount Bental. We visited Katzrin which reminded me a bit of Pompeii, we had great views of the Sea of Galilee from a kibbutz, visited a baptismal site and also stopped for more amazing views and photo opportunities. There were plenty of toilet stops and opportunities to buy water/food. No unnecessary trips to factory shops thankfully. My kids loved this trip too. Thanks for a memorable trip Eyal. (One small negative - one of the bathroom stops on the way there was awful (poo stains everywhere, used tampons on the floor) and apparently you have to pay for loo roll which you don’t know until you ask in the shop. The other loos were all good!)

  • 4Beautiful scenery

    The tour to Golan Height provides an opportunity to see beautiful countryside scenery besides religious sites. The drive is a little less than 3 hours each way. The tour guide Abi is very good so is this tour company.

About Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv is Israel's Mediterranean city of white Bauhaus buildings, long beaches, street markets and a café-lined seafront beside ancient Jaffa.

Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 on sand dunes north of the old port of Jaffa and grew quickly into a city of modernist apartment blocks. Its White City, a large collection of Bauhaus and International Style buildings, is listed by UNESCO. Rothschild Boulevard is lined with these buildings and shaded by trees, and Independence Hall, where the state was declared in 1948, stands on it.

Top-ranked sights in Tel Aviv: Caesarea, Neve Tzedek (Neve Tsedek).
