Day trip reviews · TEL AVIV DAY TRIPS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 8 day trips from tel aviv 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!”
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.”
Travel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem with a licensed English-speaking guide, visiting Ein Karem, Mount of Olives, Mount Zion, the Old City, Via Dolorosa, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Expect a full 10-hour day, plenty of walking, and a tightly planned route.
“Our guide was excellent, his explanations were profound. As far as the programme is concerned, it was a little dense. It would have been nice to have an hour off to roam the city.”
Fly from Ben Gurion to Ramon Airport, cross into Jordan with assistance, and tour Petra with an English-speaking guide. You’ll see the Siq, Treasury, tombs, theater, and desert views, with an optional short horseback ride and lunch stop. Guide Kareem has earned special praise for extra help.
“The tour itself was great. Transportation to and from the boarder was good too but the flights were exhausting. I was more tired from the flights than the actual excursion.”
Spend 10 hours traveling from Tel Aviv to the Dead Sea with a guide, stopping at the Inn of the Good Samaritan and viewing Jericho before resort time. You will float in water 8.6 times saltier than the ocean, try Dead Sea mud, and have optional massages or treatments at extra cost.
“This was an excellent activity for a warm, sunny day. We really enjoyed the drive and Eli our guide who was a wealth of information and enthusiasm. And of course the Dead Sea swimming!! Absolutely incredible! Would definitely do that again!”
Travel by air-conditioned coach from Abraham Tel Aviv to the Dead Sea for a self-guided beach day. Float in salt-heavy water, use mineral mud, explore the shore, and relax at your own pace. English guidance is provided through an app, with food and towels extra.
“Der Trip zum Toten Meer war insgesamt durchwachsen. Am Ziel angekommen wurde alles das geboten, was im Angebot beschrieben war. Die Strandutensilien wirkten jedoch herunter gekommen und ungepflegt. Am meisten geärgert hat mich die Rückreise nach Tel Aviv über Jerusalem. In Jerusalem wurde die 19 Tourteilnehmer von einem geräumigen Reisebus umverfrachtet in einen Mini-Bus, der bis auf den letzten Platz besetzt war, unbequem, eng und im Grunde genommen kein Stauraum für Taschen, Rucksäcke usw. Alle Passagiere mussten ihr Gepäck auf den Schoß nehmen. Dies war im Angebot nicht erwähnt und somit entsprach die gebuchte und bezahlte Dienstleistung nicht den Tatsachen. Einige Gäste klagten anschließ...”
A coast, a castle, a cellar or a cave.
