Golan Heights and Galilee - Avi was a wonderful tour guide very knowledgeable and knew the people and the area so well. Golan Heights is a hidden gem tour ancient settlement and current olive production a unique view of Isreal. Orion was our Nazareth and Galilee tour guide he was wonderful we saw so many unique locations and he did a marvelous job explaining and making it a special trip. Nazareth was an eye opener, Capernaum so special and lunch at Kibbutz so enjoyable. Thanks for a perfect two days.

Great tour, great guide, great company - This tour delivered on so many levels - where to begin! From the jaw-dropping views driving through the mountains and above the Sea of Galilee, to the delicious food sampled (the highlights for me were the Yemenite pita and breakfast at the kibbutz/Hotel Ortal); from the wonderful group of people I was so fortunate to travel with, to the unexpected warmth with which I was welcomed at the Kibbutz. Last, but by no means least, the extremely knowledgeable, attentive and entertaining tour guide, Avishay: a passionate guy who loves what he does. The tour might have been a totally different experience without him. I could say more, but I hate gushing! Thank you, Avishay and my fellow travellers, for an amazing two days!

Two days with Ami in the Golan Heights - My wife and I booked 8 days of tours with Ben Harim, by far the stand out being, the tour of the Golan Heights. What made this more outstanding was our guide Ami. Ami was a retired Israeli Officer Commando and his knowledge was broad and engaging. He gave us an insight into both Israeli history and customs. He made it easy for us understand the psyche of the people of Israel.
He took us to the Lebanese, Jordanian and Syrian borders. He talked to us about the conflicts, about the hopes and aspirations of the Israeli people and he made everything fit into place. He was interesting, knowledgeable and he put himself out and he made everyone part of the tour. Ami especially went out of his way to make sure an elderly gentleman, was included and got everything out of the tour.
I cannot speak more highly of this guide. We stayed in a beautiful Kibbutz, where Ami again explained the way the Kibbutz works and those that live in them. We had the most amazing breakfast and lovely accomodation.
The Golan Heights tour is a must for anyone wanting to see and live the recent and ancient history of Israel. To get Ami for a guide will just be a real bonus for you.

Trip of a lifetime - The trip was excellent. The places we visited were exciting. However, without much explanations from the guide, it is impossible to appreciate everything. Simon Robinson was a good and friendly guide. He seemed knowledgeable and ever willing to assist. His sense of humour lightened the Trip.

The tour was great in the sense that... - <p>The tour was great in the sense that it covered a lot of Israel, and gave us a picture of the country. There was a good mix of history, scenic beauty, current life. The Sea of Galilea, the Talmudic village and Nazareth were great experiences. The guides were very well read, and articulate, though on the first day one was inclined to speak a little too much on Israel's war victories. Too much time was spent on picking up tourists from various places and changing buses. Despite the tour promise we were not picked up from our hotel.</p>

Good Tour of Northern Israel - This two-day tour is actually two one-day tours, so expect to be with different guides and people between the two days. The Golan Heights tour was good. We were interested in the region, but there weren't a lot of highlights. The guide was good and interacted with the group well. We took the Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee tour on the second day. The guide was about 40 minutes late picking us up. The guide on day one had warned us of this so, unfortunately, it may be common. The group was massive. Fortunately, the guide had assistance or else it would have been very difficult to keep track of everyone. We went through the sights incredibly quickly, so I would not recommend this if you want to tour at a more leisurely pace. There is a lot to see in this region. The only huge negative of our second day was the tourist restaurant where we were served lunch. I understand that it's easier to have the group eat in one place, but the food was really bad and the prices were outrageous. Everything was confusing from ordering to payment. There was no other choice but to eat there.
Overall, we're glad that we took this tour because it covered the main sights. It would have been better with a smaller and more organized group on day two, but we did get to see a lot within two days.
