Overview

This private Jewish Israel tour gives you five days with your own guide and driver, built around the places that shaped Jewish history and faith. A limousine meets you at Ben Gurion Airport, and over four touring days you leave a note in the Western Wall, visit the graves of the great sages in Tiberias, Safed and Mount Meron, ride the cable car up Masada and swim in the Dead Sea. Entrance fees and four hotel nights with breakfast are included.

Day 1 is your arrival and limousine transfer to Jerusalem. Day 2 explores the Old City, the Western Wall, the markets and ancient excavations, then the Knesset in the new city. Day 3 heads north to Tiberias, Safed and Mount Meron before you return to Jerusalem. Day 4 brings Masada and the Dead Sea, with a night in Tel Aviv, and day 5 tours Tel Aviv before your transfer to the airport.

The tour suits families, couples and small groups who want a personal, meaningful trip to Israel without joining a bus group. With a private guide you can stay longer at the Kotel or at a sage's grave and move on when you are ready. Five days covers the essential Jewish sites from the Galilee to the Dead Sea, so this private Jewish Israel tour fits easily into a week off work.

Your limousine meets you on arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, and the tour ends with a transfer back for your flight. You sleep three nights in Jerusalem and one in Tel Aviv. Choose 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels, priced per person in a double room for 2 or more travelers or as a single room if you travel solo. Children sharing a double room pay a lower rate, and the booking form shows the exact price for your hotel level and travelers. The tour departs daily, subject to availability, and is non-refundable because the hotel nights are pre-paid. Want more time?
