Golan Heights from Tel Aviv with Avishai Levi
This was my first time in Israel, ive always wanted to visit Golan Heights, i booked this tour and I can honestly say our tour guide 'Avishai Levi' was so passionate, amazing, informative and extremely kind and helpful. He took his time to explain things properly, and made the tour super fun. You can really tell that Avishai was extremely knowledgable about this area. I would like to Thankyou Mr Avishai Levi for making this tour super fun and memorable. Being back home now from Israel, I can still remember my Golan Heights tour. This was very special, Thankyou once again, from Rashi :)
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience exploring Golan Heights with Avishai Levi. He is indeed passionate about his work, and your kind words are greatly appreciated. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure someday!

Interesting Political Facts About Israel
We booked a multiple day tour from Bein Harim and this was our third day. We were picked up with a short delay of fifteen minutes (just as it is written in the documents they have sent). This time, we only had a driver and a tourguide in one, which made it a bit more difficult to understand. Sometimes, the guide interrupted while speaking, because he needed to focus on the traffic. And sometimes, we could not hear him well enough, because he turned his head aside to lock at the traffic. When he did this, his mouth was no longer in front of the microphone, wherefore a headset would have been better. Nevertheless, it is an interesting tour and gave an insight into the country of Israel by a perspective of defense. It was interesting to see the neighbour countries on the Mount Tal, to see the military base there and to even see a butterfly (Dovetail) there. Also the visit in Katzrin was great, especially because the celebrated on that they the anniversary of the Yom Kippur war (the victory of it). What also needs to be mentioned is the love for Israel our Tourguide Abishai showed. He told us some insider facts about Israel as for example the reason for the star of David in their flagg. There is one thing you'd need to consider when going on this tour: Toilets are generally available, but not at every stop.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent tour with us. We're glad to hear that you found the tour interesting and that it provided you with insights into Israel's defense perspective. Abishai's passion for Israel and his sharing of insider facts added value to your experience, and we appreciate your recognition of his dedication. Thank you for highlighting the availability of toilets, and we will work on ensuring that guests are informed about restroom stops during the tour. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you on more tours in the future, and we will strive to make your next experience even more enjoyable.

Golan was lovely, guide/driver awful
Running out of gas in the middle of the highway and having to figure out how to get back to TelAviv as the driver/tour guide made no attempt to help us
Response from the operator: We apologize for the unfortunate situation you encountered during the tour. It's indeed rare, and we understand your frustration. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate your understanding.

A must do tour when visiting Israel
I nearly didn’t book this tour but I’m so glad I did. Eyal (apologies if I spelled your name wrong) did an amazing job of showing us around the Golan Heights which shouldn’t be missed on a trip to Israel. We saw so much, more than I had anticipated but the highlight for me was seeing the Syrian and Lebanon border from Mount Bental. We visited Katzrin which reminded me a bit of Pompeii, we had great views of the Sea of Galilee from a kibbutz, visited a baptismal site and also stopped for more amazing views and photo opportunities. There were plenty of toilet stops and opportunities to buy water/food. No unnecessary trips to factory shops thankfully. My kids loved this trip too. Thanks for a memorable trip Eyal. (One small negative - one of the bathroom stops on the way there was awful (poo stains everywhere, used tampons on the floor) and apparently you have to pay for loo roll which you don’t know until you ask in the shop. The other loos were all good!)
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with our Golan Heights tour. We're thrilled to know that you ultimately decided to join and had a memorable time. Eyal sure is worthy of your praise for his efforts of doing an amazing job and it's wonderful to hear that the tour exceeded your expectations.

Golan Heights Day Trip from Tel Aviv: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tel Aviv.
How much does Golan Heights Day Trip from Tel Aviv cost?
+
Prices start at $128 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 Golan Heights Day Trip from Tel Aviv take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Golan Heights Day Trip from Tel Aviv worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 65 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 Golan Heights Day Trip 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 Golan Heights Day Trip from Tel Aviv suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Golan Heights Day Trip from Tel Aviv?
+
Around 23 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Golan Heights Day Trip 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.
