Tour Booking
per/Person
"The tour I ordered was “Maasada, Ein Gedi, Dead Sea and more”. I was satisfied even before I arrived to Israel - the way how they shared the information and how they advised me what to choose impressed me from the first contact. I was really happy to join the trip, especially that according to their website and the information shared in private e-mails it was possible to combine five top of top sites. I wondered how it was possible and I was a bit afraid that we would be in a rush all the time visiting everything in a "Japanese style" (taking pics 15 min. and going back to the bus). No, that was not the case with Tourist Israel. It came out that they were experienced enough to put this all to packages and they knew what they were offering. I feel like we (me and other people met on that tour) had right enough time to see this all." Pawel, Poland
