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.

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 .

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.
Response from the operator: Dear Jane thanks for sharing satisfaction of the tours and our professional guides that you had for both days.We are always glad to read when travelers share their positive accounts of our tours for others on this platform to read. The change of the days for the tours without prior notice is understandably not acceptable.Will take this matter with the necessary seriousness and relay to operations team ,the importance of prior notice should changes occur. Regarding the hotel in Jerusalem, as it is an unbeatable central downtown walk everywhere location, but this is an issue recently, as there is a new pub! on this street, closeby that is the the source of the noise you heard. We have taken it up with the hotel , and will be doing a reconsideration regarding our use of it for this package. As you can well understand , for certain travelers this perfect walking distance location would be be preferable for their budget.

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.
Response from the operator: Bein Harim thanks you very much for this review of our guide Yoav, and the tour. We are happy it was a memroble and enlightenign tour experience for you with him He gives his groups his heart and soul and thus you even came away with new friends ! We are extremely glad to read your mention of our excellent and couteous customer service, that resolved your forgotten bag and had it returned safely. This kind of mention shows just how do we care, as daily!!! things are forgotten and we are always held accountable!! when the travelers shirks responsibilty. We are glad you take away a great tour expereince of your tour to Israel and hope to see you again some time.

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

2-Day Best of Israel Tour from Tel Aviv: Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Masada Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tel Aviv.
How much does 2-Day Best of Israel Tour from Tel Aviv: Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Masada Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tel Aviv usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Best of Israel Tour from Tel Aviv: Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Masada Tour take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tel Aviv is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Best of Israel Tour from Tel Aviv: Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Masada Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tel Aviv, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Best of Israel Tour from Tel Aviv: Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Masada Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2-Day Best of Israel Tour from Tel Aviv: Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Masada Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Best of Israel Tour from Tel Aviv: Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Masada Tour?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tel Aviv can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tel Aviv and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Best of Israel Tour from Tel Aviv: Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Masada Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tel Aviv within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tel Aviv?
+
On Outty we rank every Tel Aviv experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Carmel Market Tasting Tour - LocaLocal, Guided Pub Crawl Night Tour at Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv Street Art & Graffiti Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tel Aviv?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tel Aviv?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
