“Real value sold, feeling of being a guest rather than a tourist was provided”    – Pawel, Poland

****

“We booked this 1-day tour with Tourist Israel frankly with low expectations due to the lower cost compared to other options. I must say we were very delighted with the entire experience from pick up in the morning until drop off at the end of the day. The bus was very nice and comfortable. The stops in Masada, Ein Gedi, and the Dead Sea were perfect in terms of timing and duration. Our guide Allen was just fantastic. Easy going, very knowledgeable of the area, its history and always provided insight you can’t pick up from a tour book. I really enjoyed spending time with him and talking with him. I would give this operator a 5 Star rating. We would use them again for other tours.” – Richard

    "Zimmers are one of the country's best-kept secrets if you want to discover a more authentic side to Israel," said Ben Julius, founder of Tourist Israel, a Tel Aviv-based travel company."

    "Israel’s two most populous cities could scarcely be more different: the sacred and the secular; the ancient and the new; a place to pray and a place to party. Our no-frills tour takes us next to the nearby oasis of Ein Gedi, where we spot families of rotund rock hyraxes lurking in the reeds as we hike around the nature reserve. The tour ends with cooling a wallow in the mud of the Dead Sea. Tourist Israel has tours from £45pp."

    "How safe is travel to Israel? After all, the country is in the midst of what has been described as a “seven-front war,” which is finally winding down. Faced with such costs and wait times, travelers from the U.S. to Israel often choose to connect via Europe. Tourist Israel lists many carriers flying to Israel here."

    "What a Local Says: Ben Julius, founder of travel website Tourist Israel, thinks Abu Hassan might make the best hummus in the world. “At Abu Hassan, Jews and Arabs sit side by side with plates of creamy hummus,” he says. “There are only a handful of tables inside but that's okay. You can take your hummus to go and sit on a patch of grass down the street with views of the Mediterranean and the Jaffa Port.”

    "A new tour to Petra and Wadi Rum in Jordan from the travel company, Tourist Israel, is inspired by the Oscars. Two films nominated for the awards this year were filmed in the country, and on the three-day trip, travelers can see where they were shot."
