The experience is both humbling and uplifting, offering a moment of introspection and connection to the divine.

Review (2024-07-24): Excellent, safe, and fun tour of Galilee - Max did great as a guide and our driver was safe/professional. The guide, Max was sensitive to my wife’s disabilities. Max was multilingual too, knowing both Spanish and Russian, as do I. This was helpful, as I didn’t need to translate to Spanish for my wife. He could speak directly with her. The tour was great also because I preferred to relax and let someone else drive for a day. We felt safe and cared for as well, given the current conflict situation. The tour was timely, fun, and educational. It was a pleasure to experience what Israel’s northern Galilee region had to offer. We came to Israel to volunteer, as well as for sightseeing. We came to stand with Israel in this difficult time, and felt safe and fulfilled in doing so.

A Journey Through Time and Nature

On the second day, as the clouds gather and the possibility of rain looms, the Galilee Mountains Tour offers a luxurious escape into the wild beauty of the Galilee Mountains. Starting at 7:00 AM, this tour is a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility, taking you away from the bustling city into the serene embrace of nature. The tour includes a visit to the ancient city of Acre, where the echoes of history resonate through its old city and port.

As you journey through the mountains, the landscape unfolds like a living tapestry, with each turn revealing a new vista of breathtaking beauty. The tour also includes a visit to Rosh Hanikra, where the white cliffs and crest caves stand as a testament to the power and majesty of nature. Here, you can pause and reflect on the timeless beauty of the world around you, a reminder of the divine artistry that shapes our world.

Review (2022-07-23): A wonderful day of history, storytelling, and adventure all wrapped up in one. - We enjoyed an incredible day adventure with Erez touring around the magical city of Akko and then an explosive and fantastic drive in the razors. I think our guide Erez made this trip in every way. His storytelling was mesmerizing and it really gave us a sense of what we were looking at together with a wonderful historical context. We both loved the off-road driving in the razors. Try not to miss this dusty but action-packed adventure driving through some amazing and rocky forests. All in all a great day…absolutely no negatives at all.
