Amazing tour guides - stress free tours - What an incredible company - I highly recommend booking with Bein Harim! Fantastic prices, flawless pick up and drop off and very high quality guides. Such incredible places too! We hadn’t heard of Ben Harim before booking our trip to Israel but after reading the Trip Advisor reviews decided to give it a shot and they exceeded all our expectations. We did the Caesarea, Acre and Rosh Hanikra tour with Eitan as the tour guide on the 13th Sept followed by the 2 day tour to Bethelem and Jericho with Yoav (apologies if I’ve spelt the name wrong) followed by Jerusalem with Dorit (again apologies I might have spelt it wrong!) All three guides were exceptional, very knowledgeable and all did a fantastic job at keeping everyone together and informed especially in some of the busier areas. The buses were always on time to pick us up from our hotels, and even when we had a change in hotel at the end of our 2 day tour, Bein Harim dropped us off at the new hotel with no notice. I’m very impressed with the quality and price of these tours, we did a lot of research before booking these and you won’t find much better! Thank you for making our holiday in Israel stress free and enjoyable.

Best tour experience so far. - To start of, I would like to thank Yoav Malachi (tour guide) for this excellent experience. The tour spots where great, the explanation on the landscape, history and modern topics related to the area was superb. The experience was great and made even better as we made friends on the way. I would like to say a genuine thank you as well to the company as I forgot my bag on the their last shuttle with important items on it. It was brought back to me on the second day without hiccups so I'm quite thankful for this! Overall, our experience in Israel was quite positive and a big factor to this was due to our tour guide Yoav.

Great Way to see Israel Highlights - My sister and I went on this tour together, and it was the perfect way to see the highlights of Israel! Our itinerary was flipped, so we did the day 2 activates on day 1 and vice versa. This turned out to be fantastic, as we were able to avoid the crowds in all the locations we visited. We had a different tour guide each day, and both were very good. Our Jerusalem guide, Omri, especially was wonderful. He knew the best routes to avoid the crowds, and was able to get us to all the sightseeing destinations with minimal wait times. He was also very kind, and always made sure no one was left behind. This was our first time in Israel, so we didn't know what to expect or what to do. This tour was great because we saw things we wouldn't have known to do on our own, such as Masada. I highly recommend this tour!

Yoav our tour guide made this our best day in Israel - Tour guides can often be a bit hit or miss but Yoav was a a big hit for us. Before the tour started, his colleague joined us on the bus and said 'you guys are lucky you have got the most devoted, intelligent and funny guides' she wasn't wrong. Yoav is also humble and thoughtful, making a real effort to make sure everyone is happy and hasn't forgotten anything along the way. He does this without being mumsy either so it never gets annoying. The tour took us to Jerusalem from afar, then up close to every quarter and then finally to the Dead Sea. The passion with which Yoav describes Israel is akin to someone seeing it the first time. Sometimes you meet people with a special energy about them and natural charisma. Get ready to laugh and enjoy your holy tour!

Jonathan aka "...my friends!..." - Thank you Jonathan for this pleasant day full of history(s). Bravo for your efforts to not forget any of us and to protect us as much as possible from the heat, but most importantly, for your explanations and your answers to all our questions. It was a pleasure ! and this also addresses Nathalie and Moshe (I hope that's the right spelling). I wish you all continued success whatever your projects. Jacqueline B

Jane Warland - Both tours on both days were excellent, the tour guides were passionate, knowledgable, friendly and funny. I would have liked more information prior to departure. I had to call to know where and what time we were being picked up. This was obviously a process the guides and operator were used to conducting but it was new for us and we felt under informed. We had the order of the tours changed and were dressed for Jerusalem, Long trousers and covered shoulders when we were going to Masada and Dead Sea, which was shorts T-shirts and swimming costume, we had to make a quick change at the coffee stop. The hotel in Jerusalem was very average, we were given a room above a youth hostel, which was noisy most of the night. I would recommend the tour but would suggest more communication to the customer and asking for a preference on room allocation at the hotel for the tour customers.

Good tour , really bad hotel making overall value low - Tour was ok and tour guides were good but not worth buying a 2 days trip - better to choose two separate daily trips and choose your hotel as the hotel they sent me was really bad .

Good second day at sea but crowded tour and bad hotel - Great 2nd day at Dead Sea and tour guide was great. Tour group was too big for Jerusalem and had to repeat everything in 2 languages which took a lot of time. The hotel was not good, not clean and not worth the money
