Day trip reviews · ISRAEL DAY TRIPS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 5 day trips in Israel worth a whole day, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Travel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and Bethlehem in one long, well-organized day. You’ll see Mount Scopus, the Western Wall, Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Church of the Nativity, with guides such as Itamar, Avi, Eyal, or Yoav leading the Jerusalem portion.
“We were pleased with the trip and the amount of knowledge of the guide!”
I’d choose this 12-hour coach trip if you want Masada and the Dead Sea in one day without arranging transport. Guides such as Eyal, Itamar, Yonatan, Dima, and Jacob have led lively tours, while the cable car saves a hard climb. Expect desert stops, about two hours at the Dead Sea, and a busy schedule.
“good places and clear explanations must do good places and clear explanations must do good places and clear explanations must do”
Travel by air-conditioned coach from Tel Aviv to Nazareth, Tabgha, Capernaum, and the Sea of Galilee. You’ll visit major Christian sites, hear clear historical commentary, and stop at Yardenit on the Jordan River. Guides such as Aviva, Yuval, Roy, and Haya are often praised for their warmth and detail.
“Really enjoyed the trip ! Our guide Avi is top notch and was very knowledgeable and informative. I learned a lot. Avi was open for any questions, and made the trip fun ! Our driver was great! , I would recommend this service, thank you for helping make my first trip to Israel so memorable and meaningful!”
This 9-hour group tour takes you from central Jerusalem across the Judean desert to Masada, where you ride a cable car to Herod’s mountaintop palaces, then continue to the Dead Sea for floating and mud bathing. Guides such as Dorit, Orion, Erez, and Michael have earned special praise.
“The trip in general was good, however the guide we had appeared throughout the day to be very uninterested in being there. Although he was certainly knowledgeable about Masada, we got very little general information, example: you can hire towels & there is s beach shuttle. This would of be good to know particularly in 34° heat.”
Travel by air-conditioned coach from Tel Aviv, Herzliya, or Netanya to Caesarea, Haifa, Rosh Hanikra, and Acre. Your guide explains the region’s Roman, Crusader, Ottoman, and modern history. You’ll view the Baha’i Gardens from above, visit grottoes, and explore Acre’s old streets.
“In general it is a great day trip and I would love to have a little bit more time in Haifa, we were just on the car with ~15 minutes at the viewpoint. Caesarea, on the other hand, can be shortened a bit.”
A coast, a castle, a cellar or a cave.
