Traveler reviews
4 verified traveler reviews for The Golan heights. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Golan view is certainly fascinating.
The Golan Heights is a rocky plateau, it was captured by Israel from Syria in 1967 during the Six Day War. The Heights overlook the Galilee region. An enemy sniper can easily pick off anyone working in the fields or moving through this fertile region. The Golani Brigade, a unit of the IDF, captured the region. These days, the Golan Heights area creates wine and other agricultural products. Israel is unlikely to return the Golan Heights to Syria, given its strategic importance. However, the view is certainly fascinating.

Tour of the Golan with Maayan
If you'd like a terrific, knowledgeable guide to show you around the Golan Heights region and/or the Sea of Galilee, we can't recommend Maayan enough. He is a botanist and historian. Ask to see the newly reconstructed temple (previously destroyed in an earthquake). Or go to the Syrian border. Wherever Maayan takes you, you'll learn and experience a lot. We did a full day tour with Maayan in our own rental car. Driving in the volcanic geography of the Golan in something I'll always remember. It is just spectacularly beautiful...

Israel
Shachar was an amazing guide for our family. We have 4 young children and he was able to perfectly tailor our trip for our needs. Everything was age appropriate and engaging. Each activity was better than the last. He knows all the hidden gems throughout the country and is incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend Shachar to anyone traveling to Israel especially if you have a young family.

Our guide, Meni Tzabari, for my tour of Israel (which included the Golan Heights.
I want to first speak about the guide our group had for a tour which included the Golan Heights which was an incredible site. The guide, part of the Rent-a-Guide group, was beyond spectacular! His name is Meni Tzabari. He was charming, funny, extremely knowledgeable and informed, but more than all of that he had great compassion and empathy. I miss him now that our tour is changing and I am going to Eilat. Anyone who is lucky enough to get him as a guide is in for a marvelous experience. He made my trip to Israel so very memorable! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Meni!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Golan heights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tel Aviv.
How much does The Golan heights cost?
+
Prices start at $1600 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 The Golan heights take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 The Golan heights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 The Golan heights?
+
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 The Golan heights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Golan heights?
+
Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Golan heights 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 Guided Pub Crawl Night Tour at Tel Aviv, Masada and the Dead Sea Day Trip from Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv Jaffa Guided Bike 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.
