Tour plan and tour guides were excellent. Overall enjoyed a lot. Only complaint is that the “larger” tour travels in a very confortable bus, whereas the “small-tour” goes on a uncomfortable and tight van. So, overall, can’t really say the small tour was any better than the cheaper regular “large group” tour. As for the tour was totally worth it.

Overall a great tour with some obstacles

Unfortunately I only had to wait half an hour at the hotel. Only after tel. Contact came after 5 minutes, a taxi that took me 5 minutes. Brought later at the assembly point. My mistake, they had forgotten me. Then it turned out that I didn't book a small group tour, but Economy with a large bus, but with few tourists. Then it started. The tour guide was very competent and told a lot of details about Masada. She also responded flexibly to the needs. Then it went to the fool sea, or mass tourism. Nevertheless, this experience in the water was great. Overall, we had enough time to experience both highlights sufficiently. Back there were problems with the taxi transfer to the Hitels. However, the tour guide was able to solve this problem competently

Be prepared for a long day, take water, sunscreen and flip flops that can go in the water and the shower. Wear an outfit easy to change in and out of bathers and comfortable shoes as the change facilities at the Dead Sea are crowded and filthy. You cannot walk on the beach with bare feet, it is like stepping into a frying pan. The guide was excellent, the Masada experience was very interesting, just don't expect much for lunch for the price. The pick up is for multiple tours which took about 25 minutes before all buses meet at a central location. The whole day was well organised, however an hour and 40 minutes at the Dead Sea really was not enough time,an extra hour would be perfect. Our guide paced the information nicely, answered all questions and had a great sense of humour. Well worth doing, just go prepared
