    Andy

    Asked on December 21st, 2025

    On day 3 (free day) would it be possible to arrange a trip to Bethlehem/Nazareth or Golgatha/Gethsemini? If so, what are the approximate prices? Is there a single supplement (male/single traveling solo)? If so, what cost? If there is a supplement, can it be avoided by sharing a room (2 bed) with another single traveller? Looking at April 26

    Single supplement
    Tour Details
    • Consolidated Tour OperatorsOperator•Written December 2025

      The single supplement depends on which grade of hotel you choose. If you begin the booking process online, you will see the different options of hotels and the single supplement will be shown there. As far as touring on the free day - Saturday, there is the option of joining a regular daily tour from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The cost for this tour is US$95 and you would have to make your way to the central pick up point in Tel Aviv from your hotel. Or you could do this tour on the second free day - the Saturday at the end of the tour (2nd May), setting off from Jerusalem instead of Tel Aviv. This is $75. We do not offer the possibility to share rooms with other single travelers on our tours.

  • J

    Jill

    Asked on November 3rd, 2025

    I'll have the transportation from and to Tel Aviv airport? My idea is to use the same tour hotels at arrival and for the following days after the end of the tour. Would you the reservation for these extra days (I'll pay directly to the hotel) just to avoid to leave the room, make the check ot and wait until another room is ready, or this extra reservation should be done by myself? Would be possible to you to send me the hotels for the 1st and 2nd levels (or 2nd and 3rd levels since I want a prived room), as well the daily prices? It would help me to decide were I'll stay in my extra days.

    Transport
    • Consolidated Tour OperatorsOperator•Written November 2025

      We provide airport transfer on arrival and departure only if any extra nights are booked with us directly. So I will be able to give you the costs for extra nights in each category so that you will be guaranteed to keep the same room.

      Jill

      Traveler•Written November 2025

      If I've understood well, I must wait for a confirmation of a second person and then pay for the tour. Is it correct?

    • Consolidated Tour OperatorsOperator•Written November 2025

      Yes. That is correct. I will register your details and if we get another booking I will let you know straight away.

    • J

      Jill

      Traveler•Written November 2025

      Do you have the list of the hotels for each level (first class, superior, etc?)? I need it to decide the hotel level I'll stay!

    • Consolidated Tour OperatorsOperator•Written November 2025

Superior Class: Tel Aviv - Dan Panorama, Haifa - Dan Panorama, Galilee - Kibbutz, Jerusalem - Dan Panorama.
