Israel Tours for Solo Travelers
Our 5-day Jewish heritage tours work really well for solo travelers, though there are some things to keep in mind. The tours pack in the major sites efficiently - you'll explore Jerusalem's Old City, take a dip in the Dead Sea and discover historical spots across the Galilee region. Solo guests often tell us they love how knowledgeable the guides are and how smoothly everything runs. A useful tip from recent travelers: double-check your hotel details before you go, since some tours move between different places. The 5-day format gives you a good mix of structured touring and free time to explore on your own. Most solo travelers appreciate having guided visits to important sites while still getting time to wander through markets and try local food at their own speed.

What people love about touring Israel solo
- Past to the Future - The Story of the Israeli State - 11 days
The tour is very well-planned and paced. It gives one exactly what it promises: a chance to view the history of the Jewish people and the state through the major sites and cities.
- Classical Israel Tour Package, 5 Days
Great places to visit, Good tour guides. Rom was the best.
- Highlights of the Holyland and Petra Trip Experience - 9 Days
Quite happy with our tour. It was amazing how they met us at every point at the right time and the right place. Unfortunately, I lost the namecard of our guide in Petra, and he was an especially great one. As a professional teacher, he was a fountain of knowledge of the things he was showing us, things we would surely have missed without him. Please identify him for me and let him know how much we appreciate his knowledge, patience, and help. Great trip. This is my second tour arranged through Radar. Home run both times!
