Tourist Israel Reviews 

horrible ripped us off for our money told us we need travel visas when we didn't was included in our trip and still after purchasing did not let us through and no refund. WOULD NEVER RECCOMEND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Salut,

Je voulais juste vous dire un grand merci pour toute l'aide que vous m'avez apportée dans l'organisation de mon voyage d'affaires à Tel Aviv. Votre équipe a été géniale et je me sens vraiment bien pris en charge. J'ai hâte de partir et je suis sûr que tout se passera parfaitement grâce à vous.

À bientôt,

Pre hired a car to take us from the Airport to our hotel upon our arrival in Israel. We waited an hour and twenty minutes the car and driver never showed! We called the dispatch three times the kept saying he would be there in just a few minutes (a bunch of BS).I finally found another car to take us to our hotel the heat of the day was about 97 degrees humidity was sky high but these jerks kept saying he will be there any minute. I asked for a refund but they said it was my fault? I was in the wrong area! More BS! These people are not honest do not use them! Crooks! I will be reporting them to the Israel tourist board and the US Embassy to place them on the do not call list! Save your money and don’t ruin your vacation use a private taxi! Oh ya it’s all my fault!

Our tour guide is so amazing,she gave us a wonderful journey to Masada the dead sea. Very accommodating. Thank you for we had a great time.

Our tour guide, Ori, is what made our experience great. Ori had a great energy and was very knowledgeable about the subject matter. I wish the tour lasted longer because we had a lot of fun with Ori. He made us laugh and gave us a lot of extra interesting insight. He also went out of his way to show us some hidden spots and make the tour extra special. I would 100% recommend a tour with Ori!

I wish you all the best Melech Ori! :)

Gili, the guide was wonderful. She made the experience very interesting with many historical facts as well as making sure the tour runs smooth.

Reason one star was deducted has to do with the loud noise of the bus. It needs serious maintenance.

Thorough walking tour of Jerusalem with a knowledgeable and extremely personable guide, we learnt a lot and nothing was too much trouble. Bit of confusion with buses on the way back but we ended up in a much less crowded bus than we would have done, thank you!

The organisation was great, a representative was there to help getting through border crossing and our guide while in Jordan was wonderful - he was very knowledgeable, excited to show us the beautiful country and a lovely person. The sights were incredible and staying overnight in the desert was unforgettable. Thank you for having me 🙏

Positive:
- amazing structure of wadi rum camping and well organized tours
- excellent petra tour
- lunch in petra and dinner/breakfast in wadi rum were nice
- Aman (our tour guide) has a lot of knowledge contributing to the experience, despite the difficult English

Negative comments:
- Itinerary in Acaqba needs to be better structured for us to enjoy
- Disorganization with who does what, where and when
- Buses too tight for travel time

Breakfast is really good.
Apartment with 02 twins bed was to small for a couple.
Good services in gener

Allen was fantastic. His knowledge of the history of Jerusalem and afar was impressive. He is what we would call in Ireland a Seanchaí- a great story teller. His information and insight was balanced and unbiased catering for a group of all faiths and none. We had a fabulous day.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The service was exceptional.

Our driver Itzik was right on time and very personable. We were offered drinks while on our way.

Very useful service and very nice stewart.

Great activities including the optional extra boat trip in aquaba. Trip was well organised and comfortable on the bus.

The experience was very good! Petra in Wadi Rum are amazing, and the accomodations and transportation were great. The best option we found to explore Jordan from Israel.

A couple of changes could've made the experience great:
- The tour guide certainly knows a lot from all the places, but he's not very good in passing the information. He focused a lot on the practical details (time, meeting point). The communication on history was a bit confusing, don't know if because of language or just mixing up too much information and not giving much space for questions. This and the little time given to explore Petra where the reasons we chose to go without the tour. We wanted to see the Monastery, which we hear we wouldn't be able to do if we followed the guide and group. It took us one hour to go up, stay a bit there and then down (but we went super fast and it was exausting on the way up). Maybe we would've had time for the tour after all. I missed learning about the place, and whised I could trust the time with the guide would've been time well spent.
- There are a couple of stops on the way in gift shops which could be avoided, and we could've been given more time to explore the best places: Wadi Rum and Petra.
- The first stop which is Acqaba was very frustrating. I felt disrespected with the offers of extra activities. Seemed like we stopped there only for you to sell us more. We stayed the same time there as in Petra. We where told upon arrival we would spend 3h there, and the guide offered us 3 different options of paid activities, none of which where mentioned when booking. If you don't want to go for one of the ad-ons, you're left to explore the city with no reccomendations of what to do or see, and there's not much. I'd recommend you get some hummus on a local restaurant for USD 3 per person, get a coffee at the fancy coffee shop near the shore, and check the public beach. But I'd rather skip this and go straight to Wadi Rum. Would've been a lot nicer just to chill on the campsite which is stunning.
- The bus from Tel Aviv to the border isn't very confortable. The one we travelled in Jordan is way better! Wished it where the same, since we spend more time in the bus in Israel and it's good to sleep on it to later enjoy the day.

Some highlights:
- Petra and Wadi Rum per se
- The campsite in Wadi Rum is wonderfull! Food is great. Staff are great!
- All very well organized, apart from Acqaba
- Stargazing experience is a must! We loved it. Super well organized with brillant staff. Try to go during new moon to see more stars with the naked eye. But when moon is out you get the chance to see it on the telescope. Also saturn and many other stars.
- Camel ride on sunset was very fun.

Idea for Tourist Israel:
The first day could be going straight from the border to Petra. Arrive early and enjoy 5h there. Go to Wadi Rum at dinner time. Camel ride in sunrise, jeep ride before noon, then back.

Tourist Israel made everything SO easy!
Our tourguide Kareem was very knowledgeable, engaging, & fun!
It was a very long day; however, that's due to the closest border entrance being in Eilat.
If you're looking to go to Petra 100% recommend!

Moshe était très compétent et très agréable. Circuit bien organisé.

The trip to Petra was worth it. However we were told it would only be 25 people but actually it was double that amount!.
There was also a hidden charge that we wasn’t notified about prior to reaching the Jordanian border wheee the Israel’s also charged $60 each to leave the country!
Scandalous!
Once in Petra.. the views are amazing. So we’ll worth the visit

This was a phenomenal tour and because of our guide Mosher was amazing !
He was informative, kind and had a passion for what he was doing .
We are a group of 8 and this was unforgettable!!
