Masada and the Dead Sea. A LONG bus ride and then some spectacular views of the desert, the Dead Sea, Jordan and some of more every day Israel.

We chose not to do the excursion here and venture out on our own. At first, I thought that this was a terrible decision because you can't really even book your own tour. Only one cab company is allowed into the port, and you're not allowed out of the port on your own. So DON'T book an independent tour company; they can't even get to your boat! The one cab company that is allowed near the boat wants to charge you outrageous sums if you just want to go somewhere and be dropped off. What they want is for you to set up an all-day tour with the cabbie. In the end, that's exactly what we did, and boy am I glad. We found another terrific couple to split it with, and we did everything: Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Dead Sea, shopping, lunch... we fit it all in all while getting a real tour of Israel during a tough time... not the tour guide version.

bus transportation to the bus terminal in Jerusalem would have been helpful. At the very least the staff should have information on how and where to access public transportation alternatives including estimated costs involved.

This was nice, but also a long trip. The tour guide was very informative about the Christian sights, even though he reminded us two or three times that he was Jewish and didn't regard Jesus to be a Messiah...nevertheless, I think most people were Christian and that is why they took the tour. He was a little cocky. He also took us to "his" store for shopping.

We love Israel and this city acted as a port for Jeruselem or more central / southern sites of interest. Nothing in Ashdod. Port is a long way from anything, so plan on taxi or ship bus to get you anywhere.

What can one say about the city of Jerusalem except read and study the history before going and get a good guide when there. Most Israeli guides are excellent.

Fantastic tour! We went to Masada and the Dead Sea. We had the same tour guide as the day before, Haya. I think my favorite part of the whole trip was floating in the Dead Sea!

The Kotel is a great thing to see, but make reservations MONTHS in advance.

Planned excursions do not allow for shopping - only at tied shop that had very little selection and high prices.
