Natural beauty and historical sites in the Heights
The Golan Heights is an area of outstanding natural beauty and intriguing historical sites It was captured from Syria during the Six Day War in 1967 and is now part of Israel. The Golan Heights is of great strategic importance, it has a commanding view of the northern Galilee. Apart from its military value, the Golan is a fertile agricultural region. The trip from Jerusalem to the Golan takes around two hours by car.
Response from the operator: You sure visited a spectacular region of our country wilth all its military history and significance. Glad it was a memorable experience for you to reach these locations

Breathtaking views in the Golan Heights
We started the tour by driving from Jerusalem to the Megiddo Junction. From there we drove north through the Plain of Armageddon and past Megiddo into Galilee. The Galilee offers expansive views of lush green pastures, farmland, vineyards, and of course a great view of the Kinneret/Sea of Galilee. The tour continues as we pass by the Jordan River and then ascend to the Golan Heights with many vintage points along the way. We pass Hamat Gader, a historic site with hot springs used by the Romans and modern-day spa-goers. We continued to the Shalom Observatory and from this elevated point, there were magnificent views all the way to the Sea of Galilee. In Katzrin there's an excavated Jewish village from the Mishnah and Talmudic eras. At Mt. Bental we explored the Syrian bunkers and trenches captured by Israelis in the 1967 Six-Day War. I highly recommend this tour with Eyal our guide. He's extremely knowledgeable from Botany, archeology, history, geology and geography. His knowledge is tremendous! Pack your own lunch and bring a lot of water as it was piping hot! All in all a fantastic day out!!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for this sincere and detailed feedback and most of all we appreciate your expression of gratitude for the excellent tour guide Eyal. He sure deserves your praise for his efforts and enlightening commentary.

This is the best tour one can take in order to visit and really get to know Golan Heights. Our guide was both very funny and interessating, telling us all the details about the region and the battles that took place there between the two countries. We had no problems, everything worked great and as planned.

Guided tour with Ami Bar Gil
I booked this tour because I wanted to see the Golan Hights and learn about the history of the location. My expactations were exceeded. Our tour guide had a lot of informations about the sites we saw. He even could tell us a lot about the history of the hights. The landscape we could see from the lookout points was breathtaking! I would definitely book this tour again as long as Ami is the guide.

Golan Heights Day Trip from Jerusalem: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.
How much does Golan Heights Day Trip from Jerusalem cost?
+
Prices start at $138 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jerusalem usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Golan Heights Day Trip from Jerusalem take?
+
Plan for about 13 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 Jerusalem is not rushed.
Is Golan Heights Day Trip from Jerusalem worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jerusalem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Golan Heights Day Trip from Jerusalem?
+
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 Golan Heights Day Trip from Jerusalem suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Golan Heights Day Trip from Jerusalem?
+
Around 7 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 Jerusalem 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 Jerusalem and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Golan Heights Day Trip from Jerusalem 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 Jerusalem 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 Jerusalem?
+
On Outty we rank every Jerusalem experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jerusalem Boutique Tour from Tel Aviv, Travel to Bethlehem Half Day Guided Tour from Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Dead Sea Day Tour From Jerusalem. 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 Jerusalem?
+
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 Jerusalem?
+
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.
