  In the fall of 2025, I went on a four-day tour to conquer Israel. I was pleased with the organization, the transfer, the convenient location, and the comfortable hotel. The guide told fascinating stories without overloading us with dry facts. The time flew by, and I enjoyed the trip.Show more

  I was really disappointed with my third trip with TourRadar. They contracted out my trip to a company named Booking Tours which was terrible. They had no customer service skills, we were left stranded many times without communication in countries that could be unsafe, and they charged us for an upgrade that was mishandled. We had to pay for luggage on a domestic flight that was included as part of the trip. We didn’t get our itinerary until last minute and the information was extremely vague. I will not be using this company in future travels.Show more

  Tour was okay while we were in Israel. Accommodation in Israel was average. Best tour was Masada with Ithamar. The tour with Ithamar was the most engaging and educational. I also enjoyed our tour with Dima (ceaserea, acre, and Haifa), and Udi. Unfortunately, the tour began to become less than subpar as soon as we left Israel. We were packed like sardines in an uncomfortable bus in the Jordan part of our trip. Our tour guide was nowhere to be found in Petra. And even though we upgraded our rooms in wadi rum, the rooms were more like 2 star accommodations. When we got to Egypt, things got weird real fast. The border control told me the zoom on my camera was too big and they would be seizing it. The Egyptian tour guy Mohammed came to meet us with the border control and spoke a bunch of Arabic with them. He then told us we had to give them $400 to get my cameras back. I said I don’t have $400. If I did I would buy a new one. He then spoke a lot more Arabic with them and ended up telling me to give him $50 and he would get my camera back. He did get my camera back, so I told him I had no dollars but I would give him the $50 he asked for. He asked me to go withdraw 2000EGP from the ATM. The ATM was in front of the bank, so I asked the cashier what the exchange rate was. He said 30EGP per $1. I withdrew the 2000EGP but I attempted to give Mohammed 1500 since the exchange rate was 30EGP per dollar and we had an agreement for $50. He refused and threatened to return my camera to border control if I didn’t give him the 2000EGP. I gave him the money and hoped I never set my eyes on him again in this lifetime (or any other lifetime). Our tour to Sinai was also booked wrong. We were put on a night tour even though I told booking tours that I had kids with me and can’t do a night tour. We then paid our tour guide $160 to get us to a hotel in st Catherine’s because we were exhausted after walking all day in Petra. What we got was a dingy half star hotel with fleas and lots of mosquitoes. The rest of our Egypt tour was a boat of desert and disappointment. Everybody in Egypt wanted money. People would take tissue paper out of public toilets and demand money from you to go in. I doubt I’ll be visiting Egypt ever againShow more

  Reply from: Booking Tours

  Dear Customer, Thank you for your detailed review. We deeply regret to hear that your experience did not live up to your expectations, especially concerning the Jordan and Egypt parts of your trip. Your feedback is highly valuable to us as it helps us improve our services. We appreciate your positive words about our tour guides in Israel, Ithamar, Dima, and Udi. We will make sure to pass on your compliments to them. In reference to your accommodation issues, we would like to clarify that the package you purchased was a standard 3-star tour. While we strive to provide the best possible experiences, the quality of accommodation can vary based on the available options in each location. With regards to your overnight stay in Wadi Rum, it's important to note that the experience is advertised as a night in a Bedouin tent. This experience is meant to be a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the local culture and environment, rather than a luxury accommodation experience. Similarly, the visit to the Sinai Peninsula and the Saint Catherine's Monastery is located in a desert region where upscale hotels are not the norm, but rather more traditional and basic accommodations are part of the local experience. We sincerely apologize for the discomfort you experienced with the transport in Jordan. We will surely take these matters into account and strive to improve our service quality in these regions. Regarding the incident at the border and the situation with your camera, it's unfortunate that you had to face this issue. As a tour operator, we do not have control over the rules and regulations related to border crossings and customs. Different countries have varying restrictions on what can be imported, including specific types of cameras and other items. It is the responsibility of travelers to ensure they are aware of and comply with these rules. We regret the inconvenience this caused you. Concerning your interaction with our guide in Egypt, Mohammed, it's important to note that he attempted to assist you in retrieving your camera, given that such lenses are prohibited from being imported into Egypt. The additional cost was an unfortunate consequence of the circumstances, but it was not an action intended to exploit the situation. As for your experience in Egypt, it's worth noting that this country is part of the Middle East, and the local culture, including the bargaining culture, is prevalent in public spaces. We understand that this can be overwhelming, but it's important to know that no one is obliged to give money. Your unfortunate experience at Sinai and the booking mishaps is regrettable. We will certainly take your feedback into consideration and aim to enhance the booking process to avoid such situations in the future. We're very sorry that your tour of Egypt left a negative impression. We will strive to work with local partners to improve the overall experience for our guests. We understand your disappointment and assure you that your experience does not reflect the standard of service we aim to provide. We hope that despite these issues, we will have another opportunity to serve you better in the future. Best Regards, [Booking Toura team ]

  My guide in Egypt Kimo Azuvietsh and driver Fayez were excellent. Their professionalism and regard for human decency, was beyond my expectation. My driver and Tour guide acted in just about every conceivable way to accommodate me during the tour. For example: when my hotel room water and Air Conditioner was not working. They reiterated to the hotel officials the importance, of getting these issues addressed in a timely manner or to moved Mr. Wess as previously requested to another room in their native language.Show more

  I did the Israel/Jordan (Petra)/Egypt tour. Israel was amazing! Yousef,Lauren and Tomer were the best guides ever. Amazing guys with lots of knowledge and humor! The hotel in Tel Aviv could've been a lot better. Two people could not cross path because it was too narrow. Not to mention that a restaurant operates right outside your room, and the parties and music lasted until midnight. The room didn't get done at all twice, and had to complain. The shower door didn't completely shut,and the water leaked into the bathroom. What a nightmare of hotel. In Egypt my camera lens was confiscated. This is a third-world country that wants to cover the sun with one finger. They said that the lens had too much range, to which I replied that my cellphone camera had even larger range. Total silence. They wanted me to pay a fee of $300 for keeping the lens and claiming it on my way out, but everything just sounded weird and fishy. I ended up smashing the glass on the lens, and throwing it in the trash. I thought I'd get arrested for doing this,but I just walked out. The tour in Egypt was good, the guide (Ahmed) was very nice and friendly. The only downside is that it was just my wife and me, not in a larger group, so at the end of the tour we had to tip the guide and the driver. It came out to $500. Ouch! These guys expect a tip, not a tap on the shoulder. This includes the guides and drivers in every country you visit, so be prepared to bring extra money.Show more

  Overall, it was an amazing trip for our group of 4 to see all the historical landmarks that we'd only read about in books or seen on TV. Once we arrived at our desintations, the tours were informative and well organized. However, the logistics when transferring across borders into another country to get to our next destination need to be greatly improved. We had problems during both of the border transfers. First, between Israel and Jordan, the Jordanian representative named Ramses was not there to meet us. He finally showed up about 30 minutes late. We prepaid Booking Tours for our Visas, so we would not have to worry about getting them ourselves; however, Ramses did not have any information about us and did not have any information about our Visas. This delayed us even longer, because he had to take time to straighten everything out with his company. When he finally got everything straightened out and we got to the tour bus, some of the other customers on the bus awaiting the tour were yelling at us because we were late and were holding up the tour. I spoke with another tour attendee on the bus and she said that they were told that our group was late, and that's why the tour was delayed. In other words, the company blamed us for being late, when we were actually right on time as scheduled. Someone from the tour company dropped the ball when processing our information for the Visas, which Ramses had to straighten out. That's why we were late. I thought it was very unprofessional for them to blame us for the delay when it was really the company's error. This was very stressful at the border crossing, and also while traveling on the bus with people that held hard feelings towards us for something that was not our fault. During the second border crossing between Israel and Egypt, again there was no representative to meet us in Egypt. We tried to explain to the officials there that we were waiting for our tour representative Stenoude who would have our Visas, but still they tried to get us to pay for the Visas AGAIN. When Stenoude finally showed up about 40 minutes late, he said that he was waiting for us outside and taking care of another tour group. It doesn't make sense that he was waiting outside for us, since we couldn't exit without our Visas! This was another very stressful incident. As I mentioned, once we arrived at our destinations, everything moved a lot more smoothly. Tours in Israel were wonderful. The schedules were very punctual and the tour guides were so kind, patient and knowledgeable. If you are lucky enough to get Aviva, Liat, or MIchael, you will not be disappointed! They were outstanding tour guides! In Egypt, our driver Abbas and our tour guide Nassir were the absolute BEST! The streets of Cairo are pure chaos, but Abbas got us everywhere we needed to go and picked us up right on time everytime! Nassir had so much knowledge to share! He was kind, funny, patient and shares so much information. He took pictures for us and even suggested fun shots! He taylored our schedules to spend time doing the things we wanted to do. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Cairo! For anyone that may be thinking of taking this trip, be aware there may be some issues during the border crossings. It may be a little scary, and people will try to pressure you into giving them money, but be firm and let them know that you are waiting for a tour representative (try to have his name) and that he has your Visa. Once you get to your destinations, you will have an amazing time.Show more

  Tour is very very good - Nice and knowledge of tour guides, good transportation all around. ONE thing we were NOT happy was NOBODY mentioned to us about ZOOM LENS camera that will not be allowed to bring into Egypt border on land from Israel to Egypt. It caused us big problem. They kept my ZOOM LENS at the custom office. Now I do not know how to get it back, and if possible, how much FEE should I pay? Please explain if you could. Thanks. Huong TranShow more
