Great experience - Best to bring your own food and water. The refreshments sold at the venues seemed very expensive to purchase.

Good tour, brilliant guide! - This was a fascinating tour, made outstanding by our guide, Ariel Mielnik. He took great care that we were well-hydrated, with lots of comfort stops, as well as being a great storyteller and fountain of information.

Hiking and soaking, great day - Outstanding day! We left crazy early to get to Masasa, and walked up the snake trail in the dark to see sunrise. After sunrise had just under an hour to walk around on top before heading back on foot. If you walk any mountain paths you should be able to do this, there's no altitude. Then a brief stop at Ein Geri nature center, no 2nd mountain you have to do but some short stair climbs, make sure you see all 3 waterfalls. Number 3 is the best! The Dead Sea is an experience you should do. Float and get in the mud and rinse off. Shmuel is great at this, he gets you there and tells you everything you need to know and reminds you of the schedule so you get back in time for everything else. You can leave your stuff on the bus so you only take what you need for that part of the trip. Bring some water for the day, can refill before and after Ein Gedi. This is an active trip with transport and instruction before each place, but no hand-holding during. Very happy we chose this trip, the scheduling and execution were both A+
