This is a belated review for a day trip we took back in December 2019 (three adults), thus the lack of masks. My mother is in her 60s, it was her first time to visit Israel, and we wanted her to get the most out of it without exhausting herself. We wanted to know more about the incense route and the Nabateans, as well as to see the Negev. I have to say the guided tour was very well researched and made the visit to Avdat truly worthwhile. Kobi was professional, well prepared, very friendly and thoughtful - he asked the staff at Avdat to put up the Chinese version of the introduction video for my mother without us even asking. In the afternoon we went on a off-road in Mizpah Ramon which my mother thought was the highlight of the day. The tour was exactly what we asked for. Communication was timely and the tour was well planned and well executed. We were very pleased to be able to do and see so much in one day without feeling rushed at all. I would recommend Kedem's service to anyone who is looking for a personalised experience and not just after a photo op.

Add a visit to the lowest place on earth to your adventures! We will drive down to the Dead Sea area and stop on the way at the Sea Level Point. The first part of the tour we will spend exploring Masada, the desert stronghold fortified by Herod the Great, which was the venue for the last struggle between Jews and Romans during the Great Revolt. The remarkably well preserved fortress unfolds the shocking story of its end in 73 CE. ​We will continue to the Dead Sea beach, one of the saltiest lakes on earth, where you will experience your body floating on water while you read a newspaper. It is also an opportunity to enjoy a cold beer at the lowest bars in the world (-420 m!). Note: The price is for guiding only. Transportation is not included.

Inclusions: Guiding

Exclusions: Private transportation, Entrance fees

This was an excellent and very rewarding tour with David. Despite the challenges of COVID, and the fact I booked the tour on Shabaat, David was able to take me around the old city and pass on his non-biased and in depth knowledge of the old city. David took all COVID precautions and was able to give other handy information about the city, even going so far as to make sure I text him when I got back safely to my hotel. Thanks for a great tour!

Gary is fabulous. He has a wealth of knowledge and was able to explain thousands of years of history in a very understandable and interesting manner. We were on a multigenerational family bar mitzvah getaway and Gary was able to relate to everyone on the trip. Highly recommend

The day tour to Jerusalem and Bethlehem was very interesting. The group was quite small and we got a great overview of the history and tensions between Israel and Palestine. Amir Call Or was a great guide. I would book a tour with him again anytime. For the Bethlehem part and we also had a local guide who arranged for us to visit the tomb of Jesus without waiting in line. I highly recommend Bein Harim Tourism Services.

Traveling in a private vehicle, drive south to UNESCO-listed Masada, where a fortress-palace built by King Herod tops a mountain plateau. Ascend via cable car to see the ruins and hear about the Jewish zealots who killed themselves here in the 1st century AD. Next, visit the Dead Sea for a revitalizing mud bath and swim in the salt-rich waters. Enjoy in-depth attention from a guide on this private tour.
