    "Favorite tour of my life"

    We had a great experience working with Daniel and going on the tour led by Eli. Eli was very knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. He also was our driver. I learned a ton of facts about Israeli history, current events and demographics. We saw numerous churches and archaeological sites. It was inspiring and my favorite tour in my life.

    "Sea of Galilee in solitude"

    Did a couple of tours with Israel with Fun and was very pleased. The second tour was the Footsteps of Jesus tour and were very pleased with our guides. They made sure we were safe and the sites were open before departing. One site even sent someone to open the gates to let us tour on the Sea of Galilee. We will definitely be using Daniel again.
