Great experience
Best to bring your own food and water. The refreshments sold at the venues seemed very expensive to purchase.

Customer service was great, when I was buying the ticket and applying a coupon the dates auto change to the next day. The representative was able to changed to the correct date. Thank you!

Expect the Unexpected
We learned as we we're being picked up that we would not be seeing Masada due to a road closure. It would have been nice to have known that beforehand so we could have reviewed options - we might have just rescheduled and decided against the early morning public bus ride, on Shabot, to the tour pickup location.
Our guide (Yanna?) made the best of a situation that was probably out of her control. We did see amazing sites, such as Christ's baptism location by John the Baptist on the Jordan river.
All in all I commend our guide for doing the best she could, and being highly knowledgeable about the sites we visited.
BTW, an 8 hour tour can seem REALLY long. 😃 We'll probably be limiting ourselves to 4 & 6 hour tours in the future.

Great time exploring with our family at Masada & the Dead Sea. Very beautiful views and much history to be learned.

Highly recommended tour !
We really enjoyed this activity. The hike up in the darkness and reaching the top at sunrise was absolutely amazing as the weather was a bit cooler. It got hot by the time we were in ein gedi but absolutely beautiful there too! We ended the tour with swimming / floating in the Dead Sea and covering us in the mud.

Mazada Sunrise
Samuel was very knowledgeable. The tour was prompt and meeting point was easy to find.
My husband hiked the masada up/down. He said, it was a little hard with his bad knees . Bring a small flashlight because it is still a little dark at 5am. But the view up the Masada is interesting.
Ein Jedi and Dead Sea was amazing. The tour gave us enough time to explore.

Brilliant
Amazing. Tour kicked off on time and our guide/driver was just wonderful, friendly, insightful and patient. Noting this is pretty much a self guided tour with a driver for the full day. We had a wonderful time! Suitable for groups, couples and solo travelers.

More than just Masada and Dead Sea tour.
This was a great trip even though it started out rainy. The operator was friendly open and candid. Because of the rain he shortened our trip to Ein Gedi, giving us enough time to see the waterfall but not slip or fall exploring further. Instead he took us to the site of an ancient synagogue, where we saw marvelous mosaics and a view of Masada from its base, and a date farm.
He also showed us how the dead sea is evaporating and as its shores recide there are sink holes and destruction.
