Review summary

This tour covers such historic areas. The lectures on the ship helped us prepare for our tours. We had excellent guides and the overnight in Israel was really the best way to see all the historic areas of Israel. Due to traffic, our bus returned late. Upon our return, the staff at Holland America, had champagne waiting for us and told us (it was almost 9 PM that the dining room was ready to serve us dinner.

We were upgraded to a Signature Suite which was even more spacious. Really enjoy the smaller ship, less lines, better service.

Ship tip

Call someone at EXC tours to get advice before choosing your excursions. We did it this time and new which tours to take and when to just get off at the port and enjoy walking around on your own. We had a great balance of leisure time, touring time and ship time.
