The worst tour company

Shane_L, May 2026
After 94 countries including Syria & Lebanon. This os the worst tour company I have ever dealt with. Their communication is terrible. They changed the pick up location without informing me or Viator. So I missed this tour. It was past the 24 cancelation period. So I did not get a refund. There are other tour companies in israel one can use. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS TOUR COMPANY.

We certainly apologise taht this waas the case with your resevation, but there is NO way that the platform you booked through didnot have the correct info regarding pick up. If your contact info was provided then throught this you wuold havebeen contacted. Refund will be issued via your booking agent, As you can see on this platform, the tour is current and operating therefore the misinformation regarding pick up is updated. We are very greatful for all the previous a5 stars reviews an indication we certainly keep our info updated and travellers informed where we can.Changes do occur!

Ben_C, Jan 2026
Uri provided an excellent tour and struck the right tone for such a difficult tour. He shared stories and videos from October 7th, as well as weaving in his own personal experience from that day, for a very meaningful tour. Useful information: The tour stopped for an optional lunch at Kibbutz Alumim, available for 79 shekels, cash or card.

This is a must do tour

Steven_C, Dec 2025
This tour is a must do. Benny is an excellent guide. The subject matter of the tour is difficult. It is important to see the sites with your own eyes to understand what occurred on October 7 and the following days. The tour included so many important stops such as the Nova Festival, car graveyard and Sederot police station. Benny was open to answering our questions. I highly recommend
