    Dear Mrs Patel, we operate this tour for years and is the same for all. The itinerary is the same for all clients- prices are according with the hotel categories we offer (you booked Tourist Class). Food is very expensive in Israel and specially in touristic areas and we ask the guides to use preferred places but you can always choose a different place to eat, our guide you advise you the time to return back and a meeting point as well. I am sorry that you felt that our guide in Bethlehem was only trying to make you to buy souvenirs and we will check it for sure, same regarding tipping. Thank you

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      Will I be able to use a rollator for walking

    • Consolidated Tour OperatorsOperatorWritten July 2025

      It is important to note that accessibility can vary depending on location, and each individual's specific needs. Israel, has diverse landscapes, including uneven terrain, hilly areas and especially, at historical sites, there are both steps and uneven surfaces, such as cobblestone streets. As a result, they may not be wheelchair or mobility-aid accessible and some sites may be challenging for those with walking difficulties. Certain cultural and religious sites have specific entry requirements or restrictions. For example, there might be areas within religious buildings that are not accessible to those with mobility challenges. We have had customers with mobility restrictions join our tours, however, as it is a group tour involving other guests, the flow of the program must be maintained and it is not possible, for example, for the guide to be able to assist or hold up the tour due to individual's special requirements. Therefore there must be another person in your party who will be responsible for assisting when necessary. It should also be pointed out that access to, or mobility restrictions at certain sites may prevent you from visiting the site and therefore should you choose to join one of the tours, this must be taken into account.

    Asked on May 4th, 2023

    Do you have the names of the hotel or the ratings for them because I would like to go for the tourist class hotel but I want to know what the rating is and what it looks like before choosing? I was looking at the itinerary and I don't see the City of Eialt just wondering if that is in the tour? Are the tours half days or full-day tours? what days do we have free time?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Consolidated Tour OperatorsOperatorWritten May 2023

      Tourist Class hotels are approx 3 star and usually are the following: Maxim Hotel Tel Aviv, Prima Galil Hotel Tiberias, Prima Park Hotel Jerusalem. This depends on availability at time of booking and could change according to that, especially as October is a busy season. Eilat is not featured on the tour itinerary. The days of touring are all full day tours. Usually beginning at around 8am and ending around 4pm. Some days may be longer. If you want some free time, thee is always the possibility to add some free day(s) before or after the tour in Tel Aviv by extending your stay.

    Robyn

    Asked on December 11th, 2022

    I am interested again in going to Israel in March of 23. Looking at the 8 day tour. I was told at that time if I ever decide to come in the future the old rate would be very seriously considered in Canadian funds.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Consolidated Tour OperatorsOperatorWritten December 2022

      Unfortunately, in the interim period since the pandemic, prices have increased dramatically throughout the tourism sector and many of the rates are around 20% more expensive than back in 2020.

    • Consolidated Tour OperatorsOperatorWritten December 2022

      We will be able to offer you for the 7 night tour - arriving on 02, 09, 16 or 23 March - in standard accommodation, including 6 dinners - a US$150 discount per person from the new price. Therefore the tour will be US$1532 per person.

      Robyn

      I need all correspondense with prices in Canadian funds. Thanks

    • R

      Robyn

      TravelerWritten December 2022

      In 2020 when I was quoted it was in Canadian funds and that is how I would book. It has to be an offer in Canadian funds not in American.
