Delays on Delays on Delays
We left Tel Aviv and arrived to Jerusalem on time, but that’s about all that went well today. When we got to Jerusalem, we had to wait an hour because the bus broke down, which delayed leaving for Masada. We didn’t get there until around 11am and then a family went missing near the bathrooms, which delayed us starting until about noon. The tour felt lackluster and rushed. We ended up getting to lunch at 2:30pm and were told to be back at the bus at 3:15pm, which was plenty of time. But the same family showed up 30 minutes late. We arrived at the Dead Sea at 4pm and were told to be back at the bus by 5pm. We arrived so late that we only really had 30 minutes to enjoy in the water with changing on both ends and the sun going down. But guess who didn’t make it to the bus by 5, or 5:15 even? The same family. Our tour guide, Liat, was annoyed but didn’t do anything until my husband pointed out to her that this family had disrespected everyone’s time. As the guide, it’s her job to manage the large group. She could’ve pulled them aside or hurried them along faster. We were supposed to get back to Tel Aviv between 6 and 7pm, but didn’t make it back until 7:30pm. Also, the tour site didn’t advertise or market that they not only drive through the West Bank but stop inside it. While it was fine, it definitely should’ve been forewarned. It was not expected and caused a bit of anxiety. Overall, you’re better off renting a car and driving to Masada and the Dead Sea. The audio guide tour of Masada is probably more informative than what we got, and the lack of time management made this frustrating.
Response from the operator: THank you for this feedback however disappointing it was . We value such sharing as we are held accountable for our tour management.We can certainly apologise for the bus mechanic breakdown. But nothing that we could forwarn about. LAtecomers are an issue all tours contend with and a source of frustration to all travelers. Agreed,As a result of both these(totally an un usual!!!! event to both happen!)Yes the tour shedule was highly disrupted, YOu may be aware from all other reviews on this platform this is certanly not a common occurence. Our professional guides make every effort for smooth tour managment as well as using skills for problerm solving when they occur in the best and quickest way possible. We donot advertise details regarding the ways taken to reach the Dead Sea Region, We may add that a group tour does require consideration by all those paritcipating to their fellow travelers. We continue to strive to provide tour services of the highest standard and judging by reviews we maintain is generally, but here there are exceptions and this was certainly one of them.

Well run tour, great guide, smooth experience - highly recommended
This review is a little overdue. I took the Dead Sea Tour that included Jericho and the Jordan River this past summer with Bein Haim Tourism Services. This tour is not for the faint hearted especially during the summer. For example, Jericho was fairly steep for me and the trail up to the top of Mount Temptation was a hot challenge even after a cable car ride. Nevertheless, Bein Haim Tourism Services provided us efficient and cool transportation and tasty fare. Our tour guide Yoav Malachi was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful, being very patient extending a helping hand when needed to ensure everyone was well hydrated, comfortable and safe. Wearing a hat is highly recommended. Thank you, Yoav, for your cheery kindness in the sweltering heat. I learned a lot and look forward to my next visit.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had a well-run and smooth experience on the Dead Sea Tour with Bein Harim Tours. It's great to know that Yoav Malachi provided excellent guidance and ensured the safety and comfort of all guests, especially in the summer heat. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you on your next visit!

Didn’t get what we signed up for
We didn’t get what we signed up for. We were supposed to have ~ 2.5 hours at the dead sea after making a few stops before. Well first we stopped at some cheesy Elvis rest stop for coffee. There was no significance of this nor was it needed. Our guide asked asked if we wanted to go with rest of group to Masada. We said no we had been already that’s why we booked Dead Sea only. After, we stopped at the lowest point sign as advertised which was good. Then they dropped us off at the Dead Sea at 930am and said they’d be back and we’d all leave at 330pm. That seemed long but at the time didn’t realize how long that was. That was way too long. But to make matters worse at 330 we found guide and he said it was now moved to 430pm. At that point we said no we need to leave. This was way longer than what we signed up for. We were supposed to be back in Tel Aviv at 440pm according to our confirmation. Anyway the guide did find us another ride back. He was great But the trip itself was not at all what we signed up for. Don’t advertise 2.5 hours at the Dead Sea when it’s really 6-7. Wouldn’t not use this company agsin
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent tour experience. We apologize for the discrepancy between your expectations and the actual itinerary during the tour. It is important to us to ensure that our guests receive the experience they signed up for and that we coordinate expectations effectively.

Worst tour in Dead Sea
The worst experience ever, it is just a drop off in the middle of the Dead Sea without consideration of the weather and the time that they left you there (almost 8-9 hours). There is no sense, you can’t be more than 20 minutes in the water (and they suppose to think that you will be in the sun more than 8 hours) No water, no tour, and the conditions of the place are awful The worst tour that I have ever been
Response from the operator: We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback regarding your experience at the Dead Sea. We would like to clarify that our Dead Sea relaxation offering is not a guided tour but rather a convenient transportation service to the Dead Sea. It is designed for individuals who wish to enjoy some leisure time at the Dead Sea. We apologize if this was not clearly communicated or if there were any unrealistic expectations. We encourage our customers to carefully read the product description and details before making a booking to ensure it aligns with their expectations.

Relax not relaxing
We started the tour with the promise of a coffee break to have breakfast, which didn’t occur. Then the four of us whom book this tour, we’re dropped on the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea, alone, for a “relaxation day”, which had nothing of relaxing. Crowded, laud, horrible facilities and also expensive. After 6 hours they came for us, and after one hour trip, two wheels of the bus exploded. I can say thanks god I arrived safely.
Response from the operator: There are very few beaches available for a day on the Dead Sea. We try our best where we can visit but cannot be held responsible. We will pass this review on to the Beach management. (Hotels 65km south! have private beaches with Spa facilities etc at a much higher price! )

Dead Sea Relaxation Day from Tel Aviv: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tel Aviv.
How much does Dead Sea Relaxation Day from Tel Aviv cost?
+
Prices start at $93 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 Dead Sea Relaxation Day from Tel Aviv take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Dead Sea Relaxation Day from Tel Aviv worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tel Aviv, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dead Sea Relaxation Day from Tel Aviv?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dead Sea Relaxation Day from Tel Aviv suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dead Sea Relaxation Day from Tel Aviv?
+
Around 14 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dead Sea Relaxation Day from Tel Aviv 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.
