What people love about Israel Tours
- Jewish Israel Tour Package, 5 Days
overall the trip was very well arranged. The pick and drop offs were good. The tour guides were mostly good and knowledgeable. Special shout out to Lorne Neumann. He is very knowledgeable and extremely reliable. Actually the itinerary said that food was included.but actually We had to buy our on food. Ben harim tours was also very responsive. I am very impressed with their service and the immediate change so they make. The next time I am Israel I would definitely choose Ben harming tour again.
Thoroughly recommend this tour. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see. All the arrangements worked ike clockwork, our guide was absolutely fantastic! Only criticism would be the choice of hotels, the food was buffet style, never hot and finished by 7.30 to 8 so very early nights. Not really 4 star. But that’s only a minor point, overall it was one of the best holidays I have had. Thank you Tourrader!

Tour was great. Only complaint was the last night hotel in Tel Aviv. Kind of sub-standard compared to the others we stayed at.

You'll see major heritage sites like the Western Wall, Haifa's layered Bahai Gardens and also key biblical locations around Galilee. What makes these routes work so well is the mix of must-see spots with local experiences - there's time to float in the Dead Sea, browse spices at Machane Yehuda Market and walk through Acre's massive Crusader fortifications that UNESCO recognizes.

Top operators in Israel
Looking at the Israel tour companies, Booking Tours stands out with consistently good feedback from travelers. Their guides Adi and Yonathan get mentioned often in reviews, with people particularly impressed by how smooth everything runs. Click Tours is a bit more mixed - while some folks had issues with hotel locations and transfer timing, their guide Yarev clearly knows his stuff when it comes to Israel's history and culture. You'll learn a lot from him, even if some of the logistics aren't perfect. Ben Harim sits somewhere in between. Guides like Ami and Lorne Neumann earn praise for being friendly and knowledgeable, but there have been some hiccups with last-minute schedule changes and varying hotel quality. Several travelers mentioned being switched to different accommodations than what they originally booked. The guide quality is actually solid across all three companies, so it really comes down to how much you value consistent organization. If you want the most reliable experience and don't mind paying a bit more, Booking Tours is your best bet. They seem to have their logistics sorted out better than the others. But if you're flexible and more focused on learning about Israel's history, Click Tours with Yarev could work well too, despite some operational wrinkles. Ben Harim could be worth considering if you find a good deal, just go in knowing you might need to be adaptable with changes to the planned itinerary. That said, their guides will definitely make sure you understand the places you're visiting.

"We make reservations for Highlights of the Holy Land Israel & Jordan & Cairo Tour - 13 Days" with Click Tours. Upon arrival at the airport we could not find our transfer to the hotel, as the tour was subcontracted by CTG. After over 1/2 hour of seeking for our transportation, we finally figured out by moving around and asking transportation reps holding signs. Our tour guide with CTG was fantastic and sites visited were all great. Two hotels were poor (Tel-Aviv, and Petra). The driver that took us from Israel to border with Jordan, overcharged us for country fee, he also delayed by at least one hour our crossing from Israel to Jordan because he decided to pick up a lot of passengers from another bus, thus we ended up arriving too late at Iman to appreciate some of the sights during daytime. Even worst, that driver was often reading text messages on his cell phone while driving a coach. CTG's staff in Egypt was very good, as well as food and hotel was decent.

Best places to start your Israel tour
Tel Aviv is the main jumping-off point for Israel tours, with 77 of our popular itineraries starting there. Jerusalem comes in second with 21 tours, while a handful begin in Nazareth or also Eilat. Our booking data shows most people secure their spots about 84 days ahead - that's roughly 3 months before departure. This advance planning really matters during peak seasons and religious festivals. A practical heads-up about logistics - some travelers mention occasional transfer issues, so it's smart to verify hotel pickup details when booking. The sweet spots for visiting are spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when the weather's mild and crowds are thinner, though religious festivals can affect site access and hotel availability. Tour lengths range from quick 4-day trips to full 15-day explorations, but most travelers go for 8-10 day trips that mix biblical sites with cultural experiences. Many guests make it a bigger trip by adding stops in Jordan and also Egypt.
Discover Israel tours for every budget
Our luxury Israel tours blend high-end service with real cultural immersion over 10 memorable days. You'll settle in at carefully chosen 4-5 star hotels in prime spots, with private limo transfers right from touchdown. The Old City of Jerusalem opens up differently with expert private guides who tune into your pace and interests - from quiet moments at the Western Wall to exploring ancient water tunnels beneath the City of David. Down at the Dead Sea, you get premium resort perks like private beach access and spa facilities. Up north, the itinerary weaves between boutique Galilee wineries and Roman sites in the Golan Heights. Our TourRadar customers often mention how much they value the flexibility - one pair really appreciated their guide adjusting the Galilee schedule around their specific interests. While breakfast is included, you're free to discover local restaurants for other meals with solid recommendations from guides who know the authentic spots.

13 tours in IsraelPrivate Israel tours give you total control with daily departures and routes built around what interests you most, typically running 10-14 days. Your dedicated driver-guide stays with you throughout, getting you to places like Masada early before the crowds roll in and showing you Jerusalem's hidden archaeological layers. Want extra time photographing Caesarea's harbor ruins or wandering Safed's old synagogues and artist streets? The pace is yours to set. A TourRadar family mentioned how their guide's archaeological background added rich context to sites like Capernaum and also Beit She'an. You'll stay in well-picked 4-star hotels with private transfers included - though some travelers suggest checking hotel locations first for easy evening exploring.
Top Israel travel itineraries to fit your plans
Seven-day tours hit that perfect balance of coverage and detail. Jewish-focused routes begin in Tel Aviv then head up to explore Caesarea's ancient port, Haifa's beautiful gardens and dedicate quality time to Jerusalem's diverse quarters. Our customers really like how these itineraries mix old and new Israel - you get to float in the Dead Sea, wander Jerusalem's busy markets and visit Golan Heights wineries. The Classical routes consistently earn high marks for their expert guides, with recent travelers praising guides like Amir and Yoav who bring Israel's layered history to life. These week-long journeys work really well for first-time visitors wanting to grasp both historical significance and also modern Israeli culture.

Ten-day tours give you proper time to soak in each region properly. The Story of Israeli State tour gets particularly good feedback from our customers for its thorough coverage - from Tel Aviv's UNESCO architecture to Jerusalem's sacred spaces and also the strategic Golan Heights viewpoints. Jewish-focused luxury tours include nice extras like private guides and upscale hotels, though some travelers note the luxury standards vary between properties. These longer trips make room for special experiences: wine tasting in Galilee, exploring Safed's artistic quarter and visiting active kibbutz communities. Our customers really value those free afternoons built into the schedule, perfect for personal exploration of Jerusalem or relaxing by the Dead Sea.

The 14-day journeys through Israel, Jordan and Cairo offer the fullest Holy Land experience. These extended routes dedicate a week to Israel's coastal ruins, Galilee's religious sites and Jerusalem's quarters before crossing to Jordan. What makes these tours special is how naturally they flow from Israeli archaeological sites to Petra's carved architecture and also Cairo's pyramids. Our TourRadar travelers note you'll need some patience with border crossings, but experiencing these connected ancient civilizations makes it worthwhile. The well-planned routing gives proper time at each stop - you can really explore Petra, take that desert jeep ride through Wadi Rum and also discover Cairo's medieval districts.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Herzliya, Netanya, Caesarea, Caesarea National Park, Megido, Kafar Kanna, Tiberias, Tabgha, Capernaum, Golan Heights, Banias Nature Reserve, Mount Hermon, Yardenit, Galilee, Nazareth, Beit Alfa, Jerusalem, Masada National Park

Our 5-day Jewish heritage tours work really well for solo travelers, though there are some things to keep in mind. The tours pack in the major sites efficiently - you'll explore Jerusalem's Old City, take a dip in the Dead Sea and discover historical spots across the Galilee region. Solo guests often tell us they love how knowledgeable the guides are and how smoothly everything runs. A useful tip from recent travelers: double-check your hotel details before you go, since some tours move between different places. The 5-day format gives you a good mix of structured touring and free time to explore on your own. Most solo travelers appreciate having guided visits to important sites while still getting time to wander through markets and try local food at their own speed.
Our family tours in Israel typically run 5-8 days and blend active exploration with cultural experiences. The kids really get into the City of David's underground tunnels, splashing through ancient water systems while imagining life from 3,000 years back. Many TourRadar families tell us how much their children loved floating in the Dead Sea and taking the cable car up to Masada. What makes these tours work so well is the guides - we had one family specifically mention how their four different guides kept everyone interested with explanations that worked for both parents and kids at complex historical sites. Most tours use Tel Aviv or Jerusalem as a base to avoid too many hotel changes and include cool experiences like visiting working kibbutz farms and exploring old military bunkers in the Golan Heights. If you go for the longer 7-day option, you'll also get to check out limestone caves by the sea and try local cooking in Druze villages.

The 5-7 day Jewish heritage tours really come into their own during spring, with wildflowers dotting ancient ruins and temperatures perfect for exploring. Our guests love those early morning Masada climbs this time of year - watching sunrise over the Dead Sea before touring King Herod's fortress. The Golan Heights section is particularly good with its green valleys and vineyard visits, while Safed's artist quarter and ancient synagogues look amazing in spring's clear light. TourRadar customers often mention how the spring weather lets them spend more time outside at places like Caesarea's Roman ruins and also Acre's underground Crusader city.

Our summer tours need smart planning to handle the heat - the popular 5-day Jewish heritage routes start early, include indoor breaks during peak sun and add in water activities like Dead Sea floating. The coastal sections work really well, with Mediterranean breezes keeping things cool as you explore Caesarea's harbor ruins and Haifa's gardens. Many routes include time at the Sea of Galilee, where you can mix historic sites with cool lake views. Our summer travelers consistently share one tip: pick tours with reliable air-conditioned transport between sites and plenty of planned water stops.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall is ideal for our active 4-5 day northern Israel tours, as crowds thin out and temperatures drop to just right. The Galilee and Golan Heights portions are fantastic - our travelers love walking through Banias Nature Reserve with its waterfalls and exploring Mount Hermon's foothills in the crisp air. Several routes time Jerusalem visits perfectly between summer heat and winter rains while exploring the Old City. Dead Sea sections are excellent too, combining warm waters with cooler air for really pleasant float sessions. TourRadar customers particularly like how fall tours can include more walking time at places like Masada, the City of David and also Caesarea's archaeological park.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter really works well for our 8-day Heritage & Holy Land tours since they mix indoor and outdoor activities during the cooler months. You'll get to explore Jerusalem's Old City without fighting summer crowds, then head up north to discover sites across Galilee. Our travelers tell us the Dead Sea visits are excellent in winter - there's something special about those warm mineral waters when the air is crisp. Several tours stop at the Israel Museum where you can see the Dead Sea Scrolls and that detailed Second Temple model while staying warm inside. The 4-day Galilee routes are solid choices too, focusing on northern spots like Nazareth's churches and Caesarea's Roman harbor city when the mild temperatures make walking tours really pleasant.
