We had the best time on our scavenger hunt in Israel. Although we had planned to meet in the old city, the company had plan B because of the rain. It turned out to be great fun. We learned a lot about the shopping in the Shuk, the culture and foods of Jerusalem and that our kids may be smarter then us. They beat us in the game. We would highly recommend this tour game to everyone!

A very worthwhile tour to do if staying in Tel Aviv. It takes just over half an hour, on a very funky double decker train, to get from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and then a couple of minutes walk to meet your Guide. Our Guide, Baruch, was great and was only too happy to make sure we got the most from our tour and that we enjoyed it despite the dismal weather we had (drizzly rain and temperature of 3c). Would definitely recommend, even for the non-religious (like myself).
