What people are saying about Akko

Excellent tour with Avi as our guide. Very informative and friendly. Kept our group together. Transportation was very comfortable. Only thing I did not like is the fact they drop you off in these tourist shops and spend way too much time. We rush through the historic sites while wasting time in shops that are overpriced. Also same with lunch. They don't tell you you'll be spending a lot for lunch. Israel is pricey for food but they should tell you the cost ahead of time with no surprises.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided interesting and helpful information about the places we saw. We did not spend an excess of time in any of the shopping venues, which I appreciated since it gave us more time to spend at Caesarea and Acre.

Excellent Excelent Excelent worth every minute . So so pretty .the grotto was very good.the Baha’i garden though we see from the top only was mind blowing . Everything was worth this trip.do not miss.
