This was an excellent day trip to Masada and the Dead Sea. The tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Time was allotted well and we did not feel rushed or bored. The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts was that I had thought I was booking a large coach bus (the kind that seats about two dozen and has a toilet at the back) and instead it was a small bus that seated about a dozen. The bus was comfortably air-conditioned and had USB power sockets, however, as I get car sick, I prefer a larger coach with bathroom facilities.

We’ll run tour from pick- up to drop-off. Definitely recommend and would use again. Our guide explained everything including history of Masada, sites from windows as we drove, politics of the region without being political, and even best practices for preparing for the Dead Sea experience. We made two stops that weren’t advertised but added to the day: a sea level marker on the side of the road and the Ahava shop. Van was well air-conditioned and even had WiFi. We were a multi - generational group of six and all were very satisfied!

This was a great trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and you could tell he really cared about the history. This is a longer trip and at times we felt rushed — we moved from station to station at Masada with little to no time to take pictures in-between. I would’ve preferred more time at the Dead Sea and less at Masada but that was just my personal preference. Again, the guide more than made up for any shortcomings.

The guide was knowledgeable but the group was large. He forgot us on the way to deliver the tour members to their hotels so we sat on the bus for a very long time while they had to drive back around to drop us off. It made for a very long day.

The tour was absolutely worth it. The guide, Dan Porges, told us with great passion about Israel, the past and the present. We learned a lot!

We enjoyed a wonderful day on Massada and a swim in the Dead Sea. Our guide was excellent,witty and very informative. I was picked up on time at the hotel and dropped off there again. I would most definately recommend this trip.

It was suppose to be an English tour, but the guide was mixing between French and English. He was giving short information on both Languages insted of having av dialog With the Group. This was disturbing and gave a feeling that we missed out on information that could have been given. But the guide was friendly and service minded.

Travel company B.H.needs to reconfirm hotel pick ups by email. Seemed disorganized and had to call to remind them to collect me. They sent a taxi. Other than that, trip was okay.

This tour was amazing because of the tour guide. He was able to eloquently describe the sites and histories when traveling to and from the sites, and while touring the sites. He embraced all of the touring group and answered all questions and provided rich histories of each site. This was the BEST Viator tor that I have been on. Kudos to this exceptional Tour Guide !

An interesting and enlightening tour of Masada and an amazing swim in the Dead Sea

Excellent tour but would recommend not going in the middle of the summer. If you have to go in the summer, bring an umbrella as there are limited places to stand in shade. I was the only one with an umbrella been to Masada before so knew shade was limited.

This was a wonderful tour, with a tour guide and bus driver anxious to please, ready to stop for a surprise appearance of wildlife. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about both Masada and the Dead Sea, and location of where the Dead Sea scrolls were found. And you cant beat the site and views from Masada. I was so looking forward to this tour, excited about going into the Dead Sea water at Kalia Beach and wasnt remotely disappointed. FABULOUS day!

This was a great tour - however - be prepared for going to the Dead Sea. The beach that is on this trip the bathrooms and showers are not clean. Pack bottles of water to drink as well. It’s easy to get dehydrated at Masada and water is not cheap to buy. The tour guide was fabulous.

The tour has its ups and downs. Masada is a great site to visit and the time spent there during the trip is valuable. But the Dead Sea stop is too long and boring, especially in the winter time. Too much time is wasted in stops at shopping sites. And the information given by the tour guide is often vague.

Amazing tour only drawback is that we got to the Dead Sea a bit late in the evening and got limited time to enjoy it....but all in all an awesome experience!
