    "Awesome tour"

    Daniel and his team provide the best experience in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee, Masada, and the Dead Sea, Haifa and Acre and everything in between. Their knowledge of Israel was phenomenal. Everything we wanted to know about they told us and more. If you want the best experience call Daniel and his team.

    "A Tour Worth Every Penny"

    We had a great tour with Evelin. From the moment she met us in the hotel lobby and explained our day along with funny hats as props, we felt an instant connection. Her personality and love for this country was apparent. Her knowledge about everything we experienced was great. She took the time to answer all our questions - and there were many :). We didn't feel like we spent a day with a tour guide, but with a good friend.
