Budget Tours to Israel
If you think Israel can’t be done on a budget, you’re wrong! Visit Caesarea’s Roman ruins that line the Mediterranean beautifully, and Mount Carmel's grotto marks where prophet Elias supposedly sheltered. Check out Tel Aviv’s modern vibes, before heading to Jerusalem's contested holy sites. History stacks impossibly high, and it’s time to visit.

“This trip was way more unbelievable than I anticipated. Honestly one of the best trips of my life. Israel is really such a nice country with so much to see and do! The accommodations were great, the meals were very nice and allowed us to sample each culture’s cuisine. The coach was roomy and kept very clean, and our driver was excellent as well! We were a group of 20 people and our guide always helped to organise the various activities you could do and had tips on where to eat etc. He very knowledgeable about the area and culture and was well known/respected by the locals when we went into different places. He made sure we were always knowing the plan and when we had time for ourselves. I would definitely recommend this tour and will absolutely be using Click Tours again in the future!”

What people love about Budget Tours in Israel
- Highlights of Israel and Jordan - 11 days
The tour part was fantastic and would recommend it for sure. Please drop the Sea Net from your list of Hotels. The rooms are ok but small. The real problem is with service and the meals. Not even a 1 star for breakfast. Bread out but no butter. No coffee just water and really watered down juice.
- Heritage of the Holyland and Jordan Tour - 11 Days
An excellent tour of Israel and Jordan - wonderful walk through the Bible. Tour guides, Naomi in Israel, Johnny in Palestine were fantastic as was coach driver Kehfer. And a good guide in Jordan. We were in Jordan just as the Israeli hostilities began and left from Amman instead of returning to Tel Aviv. Would suggest that if these tours ever resume, the option to fly out of Amman is provided instead of returning to Tel Aviv.
Our tour guide Ron was extremely knowledgeable and able to provide information from ancient times to present. Hotels were great and tour was even better that expected.

What our customers ask about Budget Tours to Israel
When is the most affordable time to visit Israel on a budget tour?
The best deals in Israel come during March-April and October-November. These months bring pleasant weather fewer tourists and noticeably lower prices. The Dead Sea region becomes more accessible and budget-friendly during these periods while places like the Galilee and Jerusalem drop their hotel rates significantly. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We went in March and found the weather perfect and prices much better than peak season."
What are the best budget-friendly areas to stay in Israel?
Budget travelers often head to Tel Aviv's Florentin district where the Seanet Hotel offers reasonable rates or near Jerusalem's Damascus Gate where the Prima Park Hotel welcomes cost-conscious visitors. The waterfront area of Tiberias with options like the Prima Galil Hotel serves as another wallet-friendly base. According to TourRadar reviews: "The Florentin area in Tel Aviv had great affordable restaurants and a authentic local atmosphere."
How much should I budget daily for meals not included in the tour?
Plan for 30-45 USD daily for meals outside your tour package. Street food like falafel in Jerusalem's Old City runs 5-7 USD while casual restaurants in Tel Aviv charge about 15-20 USD for a meal. Local markets such as Mahane Yehuda in Jerusalem offer good value for fresh food and quick bites. As confirmed by a TourRadar traveler: "We saved money by eating at local markets and small family restaurants especially in Jerusalem's Muslim Quarter where prices were very reasonable."
What free activities are available on budget tours in Israel?
Many of Israel's most memorable experiences come without a price tag. In Jerusalem you can walk the Via Dolorosa see the Western Wall and visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for free. Tel Aviv's beachfront promenade and the ancient port city of Jaffa cost nothing to explore. The bustling Carmel Market and Mahane Yehuda offer free cultural insights. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The best experiences were actually the free ones - walking through Jerusalem's Old City and soaking in the atmosphere cost nothing but was priceless."
What entrance fees should I budget for that aren't typically included?
Set aside money for key attractions outside standard tour packages. The City of David Archaeological Park costs around 40 USD while the Tower of David Museum charges 15 USD. Special exhibits at the Israel Museum run about 21 USD and the Western Wall Sound and Light Show costs 15 USD. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The City of David tour was worth the extra entrance fee - just remember to bring cash as not all sites accept cards." Religious sites like the Western Wall and Church of the Holy Sepulchre remain free.
How much should I budget for local transportation costs?
Set aside 20-30 USD daily for transportation on non-tour days. A day pass for Jerusalem's public buses costs about 5-6 USD and typical taxi rides in Tel Aviv run 15-20 USD. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Local transportation was affordable and efficient especially the convenient bus system between major cities."
