Overview

The story of the Jewish people runs from the stones of Jerusalem to the desert cliffs of Masada and the hills of the Galilee, and this 6 day Jewish Israel tour takes you to all of it with an expert guide and zero planning on your part. Over six fully guided days you pray at the Western Wall, walk beneath the Jewish Quarter, stand on top of Masada, float in the Dead Sea, look into Syria from Mount Bental and explore the old synagogues of Safed. The last day follows the Mediterranean coast from Caesarea to Rosh Hanikra and Acre.

Day 1 covers the Old City and modern Jerusalem and ends at Yad Vashem. Day 2 goes deeper, with King David's Tomb, the Sephardic synagogues, the Herodian mansions and the City of David. Day 3 drops through the Judean Desert to Masada and the Dead Sea. Day 4 climbs into the Golan Heights for ancient Katzrin and the lookout on Mount Bental. Day 5 starts on a kibbutz, then visits the Banias springs, Nimrod Fortress and Safed. Day 6 heads up the coast to Caesarea, the Baha'i Gardens in Haifa, the Rosh Hanikra grottoes and Crusader Acre.

This 6 day Jewish Israel tour suits first-time visitors, families with kids aged 10 and up, and anyone who wants Jewish history explained where it happened instead of in a textbook. Six days is the right length for this route. Jerusalem gets two full days instead of one rushed one, the far north is reached without a long drive back on the same evening, and every hotel night is already arranged. Your only job is to be in the lobby on time.

On day 1 you are picked up from your hotel in Tel Aviv at around 07:15 or in Jerusalem at around 08:30, and the exact time is confirmed the day before. You spend 5 nights in tourist class hotels with breakfast, listed on your voucher, and one night may be at a kibbutz guesthouse in the north. Choose a double, triple or single room, and the booking form shows the per person price for your date and room. Because the hotel nights are pre-paid, the 6 day Jewish Israel tour is non-refundable. Short on time? Try the Jerusalem full day tour or the Golan Heights day tour, or compare all 6 to 8 day Israel tours. Pick an open date on the calendar and reserve your seats today.
