The itinerary is well planned out and they provide a variety of additional extras such as Ziwa Rhino sanctuary, birdwatching and chimpanzee trekking. My driver/guide Nicholas was spectacular, he made me feel welcome and ensured that I wanted for nothing throughout the trip.

I have never in my life been lost for words, but over my 2-day adventure, I was able to visit Ziwa Rhino sanctuary, take a 3-hour cruise along the Nile, and do a safari in Murschion falls national park. During my trip, Nicholas went the extra mile to ensure that I had an amazing experience so much so I was lucky enough to see the big 5.  I managed to get up close and personal to a leopard in all its splendour, on an early morning drive.

We (family of 4 adults) were not given any information or introduction on arrival at the vineyard, quickly brought to kitchen.

We each made a ball of Pici pasta (size of a small orange) but were told that WE WOULD NOT be cooking or eating all of the pasta as it was to much pasta!!!!. (Not allowed to take left overs I guess!!). And NO it was definitely not to much pasta for 4 adults.  So some of the prepared pasta dough was removed!!!  Did it get thrown away?  Did they make dinner for themselves with it? We were perplexed.   We made ricotta gnocchi (NOT POTATO) but again only some of the gnocchi was served the rest withheld. We took a picture of the tray of pasta we made and the amount that we were served so sad. 
We then made 2 small single layer ~5x7” cakes for dessert but again only 4 small pieces were served to us and the rest of the cake withheld???? We were so confused as to where all of the pasta and dessert went.  For 160 USD pp really??? Exactly 4 small samples of wine pp were served with a short quick description.  We would have loved to learn more about the wine, how to taste and given the rest of the food we personally prepared in a take away package to enjoy later but we were only given a paper and pen to purchase expensive wine.

Parking was challenging and not easy to manuever as we were directed to park on a steep hill in an olive grove dodging trees.  What we got from our table inside was a very distant view of the town of SG from the tasting room.

The tasting itself of 4 wines and 2 olive oils were not very good.  The white wines were on the sour side, especially after having done several wineries throughout Tuscany already.  The reds were okay.  The food offerings were fine, but we only got 4 half slices of bread for 2 people to try the infused oils and basalmics.  The purchase prices for the wines, oils and vinegars was incredibly expensive by comparison to other places we had been.

The police is not hard to find. If you follow the address they give you. Don\'t try to find the name of the police.

Where this review takes a strong turn south is that we never really felt like we were welcome there. It started with the person at the register who seemed annoyef that we were there. My wife commented on how neat a decoration was near the register and the kid looked at it looked at my wife like he was disgusted. Maybe he was having a bad day.

They ran out the wine. Explained it in about 1 minute and then left. They then brought out the cheese and olive oil. Explained it in about 2 minutes and then left. We never heard from them again. I guess maybe we didn\'t look the part. But we were never explained much at all about the cheese and olive oil. Perhaps which ones we should eat first.

Wine was really good. The cheese was really good and the olive oil was really good.

The police is not hard to find. If you follow the address they give you. Don\'t try to find the name of the police.

Where this review takes a strong turn south is that we never really felt like we were welcome there. It started with the person at the register who seemed annoyef that we were there. My wife commented on how neat a decoration was near the register and the kid looked at it looked at my wife like he was disgusted. Maybe he was having a bad day.

They ran out the wine. Explained it in about 1 minute and then left. They then brought out the cheese and olive oil. Explained it in about 2 minutes and then left. We never heard from them again. I guess maybe we didn\'t look the part. But we were never explained much at all about the cheese and olive oil. Perhaps which ones we should eat first. So we just drink our wine ate our cheese and olive oil and got up and left because nobody ever came back to see how we were doing.

We drove there and there was plenty of parking but you could easily walk from town.',3.0,'2023-10-10T06:53:08Z','REV-SqCZgSuMS0vXQTCMRi85/K07nf0He2ImWv8VDq2jmgs=','en','305joelh','TRIPADVISOR'),('26252P6','Private wine, Extra Virgin Olive Oils & Cheese Tasting','Just to taste the wine, no excursions and stories','Yes, the location is very nice, the building, the table serving and mostly the view to San Gimignano city, but there was a big disappointment, because our group didn\'t have an excursion in the vineyards and wine cellar, the guy who served us didn\'t knew nothing about wine making, just knew what he is putting in the glasses.

Nous avons été accueilli et guidé tout au long par la belle-fille des propriétaires qui a nous bien expliqué et guidé. Elle a un très bon anglais et s\'est bien occupée de nous. Le cadre pour déjeuner était agréable et la parasol vaporisant de la bruine était le bienvenu au regard de la chaleur.

Le repas était bon et suffisamment copieux et accompagné de 4 dégustations de vins, 1 pétillant rosé, 1 blanc, 1 rouge et 1 vin cuit avec le dessert. Je m\'attendais à \"slices\" de truffe. En fait, c\'est un oeuf au plat aromatisé. Côté vin, ils étaient bons mais rien de rare

Dans les moins, nous sommes globalement déçu de la visite qui se limite à rester au pied d\'une vigne (sans jeu de mot), sans visite du chai ni de la fabrication de l\'huile d\'olive (pas sur place si j\'ai bien compris). Cela dure 10 minutes puis on passe à table.

Comme tout bon touriste, nous sommes passés à la boutique avant de partir mais nous nous sommes contentés du minimum car tout était très cher (chacun ayant sa propre notion du prix bien entendu), peut-être est-ce dû au choix de travailler en bio.

Au final, on reste un peu sur notre faim car, finalement, le prix de la visite correspond peu ou prou au prix du repas ce qui n\'est pas forcément un bon rapport qualité / prix.',3.0,'2019-08-19T04:38:46Z','REV-+DCnzisU1jTMAg+8RGo2D2GbOuUCOU0ImOe9cidthJQ=','fr','sebimt','TRIPADVISOR'),('26252P6','Private wine, Extra Virgin Olive Oils & Cheese Tasting','What a great tour','The food, wine staff were wonderful.

It was also a good way to tick off these 3 sites in one day. If, however, you\'re more free spirited & have a bit more time it wouldn\'t be my first choice. 
What I didn\'t like:
Souvenir stop - The tour started with a 25 minute stop at the obligatory over priced craft shop, where a 12\" wide handcrafted manger scene - although lovely - would set you back $2500, and even ordinary souvenirs were several times the price outside. Time I\'d have preferred to have used to wander around Bethlehem, rather than being marched to the Church of the Nativity & back. The advertised visits to the Milk Grotto & Banksy Hotel also did not take place.
Lunch - the lunch stop was at a restaurant/souvenir shop complex together with other coach parties. The arranged meal, for which you get a discount voucher, is a buffet. The other restaurant here refuses to accept you unless in a group, an American couple on our bus were quoted 1000 NIS if they wanted a table just for two! Unless you want the buffet, take a packed lunch.
Jericho - As it was advertised as a Jericho tour, I wrongly assumed  it would include the archaeological site of ancient Jericho, rather than just the Mount of Temptation. The lunch stop is next to the entrance, so you could do this in the lunch break. 
The places visited on the tour though were all well worth seeing.

! At the border crossing - as some passports require entry visa to Jordan and some not, please check again with the tour operators if your country is registered correctly in their documents to avoid paying unnecessary fees for visa.

You won\'t be with a tour guide until you cross the border to Jordan. The boarding crossing is well organised with an English speaking guide who meets you coming off the bus at the boarder and helps you through the whole process. You then meet your tour guide who is with you the whole time in Jordan.
Our tour guide Kerrim was amazing!!!! I cannot express in words how caring, knowledgeable and safe he made us all feel. Very clear instructions and information was given by Kerrim throughout the whole time in Jordan. He will guide you throughout the entrance of Petra until the treasury where we had free time.

Cons: It is a long day bear in mind that the times listed on the itinerary is only a rough guide. We were picked up on time at 0200am however did not get back to Tel Aviv until 0230am not 2330 as listed online. It was the same bus driver who picked us up from Tel Aviv to the boarder and vice versa. The bus driver did not speak English and was using a phone translator to communicate with the group. This needs improving. The bus driver does not know anything about your tour (same bus for those going to Petra for 1,2 or 3 days). We are trusting a random bus driver in the middle of the night who is saying he is driving us all to the boarder.

Lunch was quite good at a local restaurant which was included in the price of the tour. We stayed on track and returned to the border to cross back into Israel with time to spare. The only negative I can mention is that when we crossed back we waited for a passenger that hadn\'t crossed back into Israel from a different Tourist Israel trip.

Afterwards we sent several follow up texts and emails and no refund was offered. I re booked the next day at my cost with booking-tours because I flew from Boston and was not missing a trip to Petra because of one horrible tour company with no customer
Service.   The second operator, booking-tours.com was terrific. They picked us up at our hotel. My advice is to book a tour through a reputable travel agent, as any tour booked through Viator is a roll of the dice. One day a horrible disreputable tour like Tours Israel, and the next day a great operator like booking-tours.com.',1.0,'2023-06-28T04:17:28Z','REV-nSWLp28pqXV3DUWjgCF04YXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Joshua_B','VIATOR'),('26254P2','Day Tour to Petra from Eilat','Safe and memorable experience','We had a great experience on this tour!

All of us weren\'t sure the bus was ever coming. Finally, it did come, but with an hour and a half delay, our time in Petra was cut short. 

Some of the seats on the bus have broken levers, so you can\'t recline to sleep. It is a long ride, so pick a seat that works.

After the tour, we had little time to look around or take advantage of other opportunities there. We are fast walkers, so we bee-lined it back (not enjoying the site) so we could quickly pick up a couple of t-shirts to take back (10 minutes). After rushing through lunch, we were taken back to the entry point. The person in charge was confused about which bus we were supposed to be on. We changed three times. People - double and triple check that you are on the right bus!

We are glad we went, but we needed more time. We knew it was going to be a fast trip, but due to the starting delay, it was worse. And yes, there are delays at the border, etc. that one can never know. I found the ride in Jordan very interesting and fascinating. There is a lot to see if you keep looking and don\'t fall asleep!

I say only take this quick trip if it is the only way it is possible to get there. Other visitors told us that two days was too long. It would be nice to have one day, but roughly three hours is too short.

Then, we were told that it would take 45 minutes to get back to the bus.  We were to meet at the restaurant for lunch at 3:45 and then back on the bus at 4:30.  4 of my party were going to take golf carts back, while 2 others walked.  Those taking the carts did not get back until 4:30 because of the line.  They were not able to eat a relaxing lunch, but we were able bring food onto the bus for them.  But the food, from a buffet, was not that easy to bring, so they only were able to eat pita bread and meatballs.

When I complained to Viator and asked them for 25% back, they rather stupidly said that it wasn\'t their issue.  WE BOOK WITH YOU VIATOR.  GROW A PAIR AND BE ADULTS.

The bus was punctual. It was a nice bus. They did a good job at the border and there were no issues crossing into Jordan or back into Israel. The tour guide on the bus was a very nice man. They arranged for a second tour guide because the group was so large and we were able to divide into two groups. The lunch provided was fine. It wasn\'t great, but it wasn\'t bad.

Now for the things that were tough. The buses were full. Our family was one of the last to board and we were scattered throughout the bus just to find seats.  The stops in Israel were fine. But in Jordan they stopped at the same souvenir store twice (before Petra and after), which was located very close to Petra, using up valuable time we could have had at Petra. My biggest complaint of all was how they handled lunch. We boarded the bus at 3 AM. They said they would provide lunch. However, we found out right before we arrived at Petra that lunch would be after the tour of Petra - at 3:30 PM. In Jordan, we were not taken to any stop that had more than snacks. If they weren\'t going to feed us until 3:30 PM, after the arduous tour of Petra, they could have at least told us to bring a lunch with us. My other big complaint is that the bus driver on the Israel side on the way home was reckless. He drove way too fast around corners and we nearly had a collision when he passed a vehicle on a 2 lane road.

All that said, it was the only way we could see Petra in one day.

Unfortunately our tour guide just wasn’t good:

- unable to speak loud enough for more than a few people to hear him

- after being asked to speak louder he just said, “I can’t” and continued speaking at the same very quiet volume, no attempt was made to speak louder, I’ve never experienced this on a tour before. 

- he annoyingly mentioned, “sometimes I bring a speaker so people can hear me” — he did not have a speaker 

- for the entire 3 hour tour people just kept asking him to speak louder and he just kept ignoring it

- our guide did not have a good enough grasp of English to present the tour effectively. I live in Israel so I’m familiar with accents and common odd word substitutions (they sometimes translate words literally that do not have the same meaning). My mother who lives in the US could not understand his stories. 

- we did not continue on to the second half of the tour (Carmel Market tasting) but he finished our tour 1 hour late and kept calling those people that were meeting him and telling them he was going to be late. He kept joking with us that he’s always late to that part of the tour. 

- in general he just wasn’t an engaging guide, no enthusiasm for the material, very little energy. I’ve never experienced a tour guide like this. 

There is a Sandeman’s free walking tour of Yafo (you tip at the end), I have taken it and it was much better than this $40/person tour. 

Last notes:

This tour is billed as a “Jaffa/Neve Tzedek” walking tour, at no point does it come near Neve Tzedek. 

I emailed all of this to Tourist Israel and no one responded, so I’m posting here.',2.0,'2022-11-15T03:41:41Z','REV-62kBncdSW8FCJ6jvgQg15+X8l7E/pVhutCJYicBw7WM=','en','jaytravels12','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P48','Tel Aviv Street Art Tour','Highly disappointing tour','I tried to give this tour the benefit of the doubt, but it was really disappointing and ultimately a waste of money.

First, logistical issues. This tour can be combined with other tours the operator offers. Apparently, I was the only one who had signed up for this portion, and everyone else had come from another tour and was already an established group. It was very confusing and uncomfortable to join halfway through. The guide didn\'t have my name on a list, didn\'t come to the right meeting point, and I had to call the company\'s \"emergency number\" for clarification.

Second, and most importantly, it\'s a HUGE stretch to even call this a street art tour. I signed up because, while I had seen much of the art before in previous days, I really wanted to understand the context, background, and intent behind it. I\'ve been to many graffiti tours in different countries and they\'re usually a really deep dive. This tour was super surface-level. Essentially just a few fun facts here and there about art and architecture. The guide asked multiple times what our interpretation of the work was (I get art is open-ended but he rarely delivered the helpful context we needed to make our own assumptions) and sometimes simply read words in the pieces and shared the artists\' names, which were already tagged on the piece. In terms of value add, it was slim-to-none. I gave it a full hour, but left after it became apparent it wasn\'t really a true street art tour.  

I\'m sure the others on the tour who hadn\'t even walked through this area enjoyed it, but do not sign up if you actually want to learn about street art and graffiti in Tel Aviv. It was a lowlight of my trip :(',1.0,'2023-03-06T20:32:50Z','REV-TVPFtjKjCu+CzovDLqub7HSm544TFE6GUtutG97JwDM=','en','Cwelchy','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P48','Tel Aviv Street Art Tour','all depends on your guide','our guide was just ok. great art along the way. really loved some of the work displayed on the walls of TA. walked thru side streets and alleys of TA. really glad we did this tour. not great, but good',3.0,'2023-02-08T16:27:21Z','REV-1hznbk7YNn+OIuhlGI0NqmgRX8hVunfAtu4MiTBx3cI=','en','Tagoladad613','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P48','Tel Aviv Street Art Tour','Avoid this street art tour!','Our tour was awful.  We showed up 15” early, per the company’s instructions.  Our tour guide was over 30” late, and since there was no communication from the company about this (like a WhatsApp call), none of us who were waiting knew whether to keep standing around in the street or leave. We finally reached someone at the company, who expressed surprise that the guide wasn’t there and said he’d show up “soon.”  No explanation was given.  Eventually the guide arrived.

When he did finally show up, he said his lateness was a constant problem because the company refused to build in time for him to get a large group of tourists from the Carmel Market to Florentin for the graffiti tour.  He said he’d asked multiple times for the graffiti tour to start later so he wouldn’t always arrive late.  He apologized for his lateness and then apologized in advance for the fact that the graffiti he was about to show us would be disappointing.  He wasn’t wrong…

The tour itself was a lousy experience.  Our guide spoke English very poorly and seemed to have a stutter, and so every sentence took about 4 times longer than normal to come out. It was excruciating.  We saw very little graffiti and, in general, he took us to pieces that were unimpressive, walking right by the impressive ones.  He also took us to a random store that makes paddles for beach paddle ball, gave us a long story about how the paddles are made, and then suggested we buy some.  Absolutely bizarre on a graffiti tour!  

Several people just left during the tour without saying goodbye, including our adult children, who were bored and couldn’t stand the excruciatingly slow pace.  My husband and I couldn’t wait for the experience to end, so we left a bit early, even though we started about 40” late (because once the guide had finally shown up, we all had to wait while the group he’d brought from Carmel Market used the bathroom).  

This was the worst tour I’ve ever been on.  We paid for our family of five and wish we could get our money back.  You don’t tell people to arrive 15” early for a tour that starts 40” late!

The day started at around 6.30am in Tel Aviv, the check-in process was straight forward with a very professional representative at hand. 

We travelled in a modern 50 seat bus with air-con, it was also very clean and comfortable.The bus stopped at Jerusalem to pick up more passengers though this did not take too long and then we were on our way.

First stop … ‘Masada’ and WOW what an experience! Fantastic views and history. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful too. Do however bear in mind it will likely be extremely hot so make sure you bring sunscreen, a good hat - preferably wide brimmed and plenty of water. On entry there is a good shop so you can buy water there if you have not brought enough with you …. You’ll need a few litres.

Stop 2 ….. Ein Gedi …… again WOW!
A short walk ( about 10 mins ) from the bus drop off and you come upon the ‘Oasis in the desert’ and what a gem it is. Taking a shower ( shorts on of course! ) under the waterfall was a wonderful and refreshing, definitely something you should do.

Stop 3 ….. The Dead Sea.
Firstly, in early September it is very hot, so be prepared and sunscreen is a must for most of us. ‘Floating’ is quite an experience and again something you must try so DO bring your bathing costume. Also ‘proper’ water shoes are really essential. Flips-flops ( as we had ) don’t really cut it as they get stuck in the mud under the water and on more than one occasion we almost lost ours, so be warned and remember ‘water shoes not flip-flops’ .
There are changing facilities to hand and showers to refresh and remove the oily waters from your skin. Also a bar that serves many drinks and food, both of which are delicious.

We arrived back in Tel Aviv around 6.30 to 7pm so the trip takes approximately 12 hours. 

An unforgettable experience and an excellent, professional tour.

A very expensive and stressful day out. 

When I got back the phone we tried to phone the operator and have emailed them with no reply as yet, as we checked all our tickets again and it definitely says we will be collected and transported on air conditioned vehicles and no where on any tickets does it says we would not be returned to our pick up point, the other tour with the same company 2 days before brought us back to the pick up point, and no one at any time said anything until we were left in Jerusalem.

Absolutely, go see Wadi Rum and Petra but Tourist Israel does not care about the safety of their participants. 

On our return trip, the roads were flooded and we were told that it would be impossible for us to go to Jerusalem until the next day. Obviously, not their fault but their appalling response leaves no doubt that you should avail yourself of the various other operators. 

Upon reaching the road block, they rerouted the bus to a mall and had us wait for about an hour and half. In that time, they cooked up a plan so halfbaked and callous that it is hard to believe. 

They told us that the roads were going to be closed until the next morning and that our return bus would leave at 830am

They then dropped us on the side of the road and sent everyone off. The company\'s representative went home and everyone was left to fend for themselves. 

They refused to pay for or even coordinate sleeping arrangements, basically leaving 50 people on the street. 

Even though the government opened up shelter for people stranded in Eilat they did not take people there. Only when guests refused to leave the safety of the bus for the unknown of a city street did the police arrive and share that there was a shelter. 

The next morning, the bus was not there at 8:25. I called and they explained that it would now be leaving at 10am. This lack of communication and previous breaches of trust left us with no confidence they would deliver so we ended up taking an Egged bus as a return.  

They should be ashamed but I don\'t think they are.

It was a memorable tour.  The value is quite good.  It is not a private tour, so you will be travelling with many other people.  The company tries to maximize the number of people on the bus, which is understandable/reasonable.  The trip involves a LOT of driving in a short period, but you will see Aqaba, Wadi Rum, beautiful rural spots in Jordan and Petra and then return to Jerusalem all in a 48 hour period.  It is a pretty intense itinerary but that is to be expected.  This is something you could not do on your own!  So be ready for a lot of driving.   Highlights included the jeep tour in Wadi Rum, the overnight camp in Wadi Rum (we didn\'t upgrade and found the \"standard\" arrangement to be excellent, but people who upgraded were happy as well).  Make sure you read Tourist Israel\'s clear guidelines about what you need to bring with you to cross the Israel/Jordan border, as there are fees and cash is the best way to pay.  The company has reps on both sides of the border to help you through (you must cross on foot).

Apparently, the border had been closed on those days, but they had booked us anyways, in the “hope” that it opened up for the days we were going. They let us book, pay, and plan our entire dream trip around their “hope” to then only have the decency to inform us of their oversight two days before. This is not because they reached out to us, but only because we were confirming, as we had heard only absolute radio silence from them all this time. We tried desperately moving things around, anything to see if we could finally go and see the very reason that we traveled halfway across the world.

Cons for the trip include:
1. Poor communication by tour operator. 
When booking, I practicality had to beg to get confirmation that the tour was happening. 
The bus driver barely had any information. 
It was only upon arriving at the Jordanian border that we finally got some kind of briefing on what was going on. 
2. Optional activities pushed very hard
Day one was advertised as being a day to wander in Aqaba before heading out to Wadi Rum. Instead, the guide just tried to convince us to pay for extra activities, like a yacht, just to pass a few hours. 
While this is an understandable way to make a few more dollars, it was a bit irritating to learn that there was no plan except to find us an extra activity we wanted to pay extra for.',4.0,'2023-06-25T10:28:33Z','REV-oEp2SbNheYa3iRICxXm3dHFNeh7AJfaw8g3mAypsaoI=','en','blahalb','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P55','Petra 2 Day Tour from Tel Aviv','Petra and Wadyrum a great wonder','Pictures cannot do the views justice.

If you are doing a private tour your driver from Israel will not be the same driver in Jordan (regardless if you are on a group tour or private). Tourist Israel has the border crossing very well coordinated, it will take approximately 45mins to cross the border. You will take different transportation on the Jordan side but all coordinated through TI and straightforward. For the private tour the driver in Jordan will drop you off at a tour agency in Jordan that will keep your bags and take you to the Petra site and introduce you to your tour guide. You return back to the Jordan tour agency and they coordinate transportation to your hotel and back in the morning. The hotel they use is Old Village Resort which is about a 5 min drive from the Jordan Tour experience. They will also coordinate your transportation back to the border where you will meet with TI on the other side and have your transportation back to TLV for you.

Just don\'t do it. I don\'t even have the mental energy to recount how horrific this experience was. This company is cheap and transparent with its attempts to scam you. 

A few examples, on day 1, it took four hours to cross the jordanian border. The email claimed a representitive would there to help us. There was no one. We were alone and with zero instructions and no one to reach out to. Because of this delay, we didn\'t get to visit 2 of the three sites we were supposed to see on the first day. Also, scam number 1, lunch is included on the first day. But then the tour guides tell us that lunch is bad and not worth it and we should go to the restaurant at the first site. Obviously he gets a commission if we eat there. But because we were stressed abuot time we opted for the included meal. It truly was terrible.  piece of bread with probably 25 grams of chicken rolled in, grapes that had dirt on them, and warm unseasoned cut tomatoes and cucumbers. We were also suppsoed to recieve dinner that evening at the hotel - which we didn\'t because we only arrived at 12:30 at night because of all the delays. Everyone was shown to their room and then my boyfriend and I were told actually we were in a different hotel. Ok, strange. We drive to the other hotel - where they then tell us no, you\'re at the original hotel. We were finally in our room at 1:30 am, hungry and exhausted. 

The next day was Petra. Petra is impressive and the only reason the trip wasn\'t a complete throw away. During the tour, the guide shared with my boyfriend and I that the operations manager for Tourist Israel had called him 8 times on Wednesday (two days before the trip) begging him to do it because they had no one. The guide said after the whole experience with them thus far, he would never work with them again. After Petra, we had our first real meal of the trip LOL. There, Salah, the operations manager for Tourist Jordan told us he was there for anything we need and how was it going so far. When we shared with him our experience to every point he had a shut down and an excuse and it was very clear he didn\'t actually care to hear. One girl had to actually ask him to allow her to finish her sentence he was so rude. 

That night we stayed at the beduoin camp which is perfectly fine. We were looking forward to the two hour jeep tour the next day of Wadi Rum. We should\'ve know it would be just as dissappointing. Instead of driving around and hearing about the desert we were driven and stopped every 5-10 minutes at identical looking bedouin tents selling the same trinkets as each other. At this point, our entire group was jsut ready to go home. We actually contacted Salah and asked him to move the shuttle up earlier on the Israeli side so we could leave early. When he said it wasn\'t possible we looked into public transportation but because of the holiday it ended early and we were stuck. So we said ok, we\'ll make the best of our last afternoon in Aqaba. WHAT A JOKE. When we arrived, the guy who met us there straight up told us that 7 hours is waaaay too much time to spend in Aqaba but that he could arrange a private beach for us, for a price of course. We were all so infuriated at this point. They literally built the trip to make money off of you. With no options, we asked the guide for a restuarnt recommendation. We said authentic Jordanian. He sent us to Papaya, a bright yellow retaurant. Sounds super authentic, no? As our group arrived at the entrance, suddenly we see the guide already there holding a menu ready to explain to us. One more minute and I was sure he was going to start taking our orders. 

In conclusion, please please please do not waste your time and money on these thieves.

Trip taken in December, 2022.

The Petra Archeological Park (PAP) itself is beautiful, and well-worth two days of exploration to see the sites and appreciate the history. Petra an amazing place to visit.

It\'s important to understand that this two day trip from Israel makes sense if you are already in Israel and want to see Petra in a few days.  Other options for exploring Petra include flying directly to Aman, etc.

This is a very long trip, (12+ hours from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem until you actually enter the PAP), so doing it in one day would be very tiring.  

All of the staff, drivers, and guides are very nice, but in my experience, there was a big disconnect as they pass you along from stage to stage.    Each staff member understands their part in the process, but not necessarily what is coming next, or the big picture. If you are someone who wants all the details to be fully known in advance, and does not have much flexibility, it will feel very uncertain and anxiety-producing. If you can go with the flow, it all works out (at least it did in my case.)

Here was my experience:

Day 1- 
3.00  a.m bus pick-up in Jerusalem at David Citadel Hotel.  

3:15 departed hotel. Bus ride south to Eilat for several hours, with two rest stops at 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. for bathroom and to purchase snacks, drinks.  Bus driver was very nice, but did not speak English.

8 a.m. Arrived Yitzhak Rabin Crossing in Eilat.  Aaron got on the bus and explained the process and paperwork for leaving Israel. 

In reality, some steps were quite different than what Tourist Israel emails had said.  example:  Joran Visa QR code was not needed.   Israel departure paperwork could be purchased by credit card or cash.  (Email said that only cash would be expected.)

Aaron explained how to walk across border through security, etc. to Jordan side and to wait for Ramsey, the Jordian guide on the other side.  For 1+ hour, Ramsey was nowhere to be found, which made 25 people very anxious to be waiting in \"no man\'s land,\" outside of Israel, but not yet \"in\" Jordan.  Eventually Ramsey appeared  and helped us clear immigration, and by 9:45 local time, we were boarding buses on the Jordan side.

Jordanian guide Methkul (sorry if mispelled) boarded the bus, and was an EXCELLENT guide. Very knowledgeable, engaging, funny, and informative. His English skills were perfect.

One stop for bathroom and food on the Jordan side at about noon.

2 p.m. finally arrived PAP.

2 - 4:30  Explored the Treasury (most famous site in Petra) and had a little time to walk around. 

Buffet dinner at local restaurant, \"Sandstone,\" and then those who were on the single day tour boarded the bus for another 10-12 hours back to Israel.   

Strongly recommend staying one night, so you can explore Petra a second day, rather than just 3 hours on a single day tour...

The tour staff did not seem to know until the last minute what hotel they had booked me into, but eventually they informed me.

Day Two

This tour made it logistically easy and I always felt safe, so I recommend it. I learned a great deal and am glad I did it. It was not 100% positive, but given the options, I would do it again.

Positives:
- Comfortable buses
- Great guides
- A long tour that covers a lot of ground! We saw the highlights of the old city as well as got to visit Bethlehem.
- We felt safe
- We were fed in a festive, large banquet hall

Surprises and Possible improvements
- Communication was minimal - we were running late, and the person answering the phone at the tour company was not well-informed or informative. Three-quarters of our family jumped out of our car in traffic and sprinted to the meeting point, unsure if my husband would be able to get out of traffic, park and get to the bus in time. Upon arrival, we found a band of fellow travelers milling about, no guides, no signs, no directions. Finally a bus arrived and my husband made it. Possible improvements include (1) sending instructions on parking and traffic in Jerusalem. Having just arrive that day, we did not know. To this day, I have no idea if the 2am walk from the drop-off point to the parking garage was safe. (2) having a better informed person to answer tour-goers queries. We were hardly alone in running late due to traffic.
- There were several tour buses full of people on this tour. They left Bethlehem for Jerusalem and Tel Aviv every half hour starting at midnight until 2am, and you could choose the time to leave. Had I known, I would have been more likely to have my youngest son stay with us. The information I received stated that the return bus was at 2am, which would have been too late for him.
- I contacted the tour company ahead of time to try to secure a car and driver to bring my son and husband home around 9pm. They said they did not offer this service. I separately hired a limo service to drive them from our festive dinner back to Jerusalem. Once on the tour, the guides said they could arrange something easily, but it was too late by then. Again, whoever answers email at the tour company is not as well-informed as could be. 
- There was no tour in Bethlehem. We arrived about 2 hours before midnight mass and were left to wander Manger Square. 
- There was not much to do in Manger Square, and tight security around it, so you couldn\'t really go anywhere else. All there was to do was shop at the tourist shops that ringed the square. It was much more commercial than expected. There was one large manger scene on display, but little else. No music, no history, just lights and shops and people selling corn on the cob and coffee. 
- Young, male Palestinians enjoy Christmas Eve in Manager Square likely because it brings lots of people into town. However, they are far from \"woke\" when it comes to dealing with young American women. Small groups of young men felt quite free to scan my daughter\'s body head to toe making her extremely uncomfortable and upset. She had a long sleeve jacket on, flowing pants, sneakers and a modest top. To \"escape\" we went into one of the shops where she proceeded to ask me to buy her a shawl that she covered herself with the rest of the night. I travel internationally a lot, so this was not entirely new to me, but it was extreme and frightening to a girl who has not traveled as widely.
- Midnight mass was said in a church we could not access, which we knew. There was one jumbo screen on which the proceedings were shown. However, there was very poor sound and thus it was not engaging. 

As I mentioned, this was different than what I expected; however, it was an authentic experience reflecting the current historical and political reality in which Bethlehem currently resides. While it wasn\'t what I expected, it was very educational and I am glad I didn\'t miss it. The night ended with the guide on the bus ride home telling us that the census that was supposed to bring Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem didn\'t happen for 100 years after Jesus\'s birth, throwing the authenticity of the site of his birth into question. This was icing on the odd experience of spending Christmas Eve on a tour of the place Jesus was born.',5.0,'2020-01-06T17:09:51Z','REV-m5uY3qneEcLNzx26zRxHX1Po2fme0/9NXwa23Jc+YE8=','en','1636kristenv','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P6','Masada Sunrise Ein Gedi and Dead Sea Tour from Jerusalem','You are not getting what you paid for','First of all we didn’t get to see the sunrise because it was cloudy, the operator, like others do, should have canceled or move the experience to a different day.

When we signed up, we were assured that the maximum group size would be 25 people (even that number is far too large for one guide to handle).  When we arrived for our first day tour there were SIXTY people jammed into a bus meant for no more than 40.  Everyone was extremely unhappy. Some people couldn\'t even fit in the tiny seats. Because of the sheer number of people, the tour was constantly delayed, meaning that we got back to our hotel extremely late after the first horrible day.
     The next \"day\" we started at 1:30am, meaning no sleep that night.  Again we sere stuffed into the bus with 60 people, and again because of the number, as well as general disorganization, no communication and very poor planning) there were constant delays.
      At Wadi Rum they were out of space at the scheduled camp, so we were \"upgraded\" to a different camp another half hour away.
     The next day we left camp on the stuffed bus at 8am for Petra where, because of various preventable delays, we only had three hours and could only walk part way into the ruins.  Then it was back on the bus for another horrendous 9 hour ride to Jeruselem (arriving at 1:30am rather than the scheduled 7:15pm) where our hotel room hadn\'t been cleaned since the last guests.
   Next morning my wife and I woke up with severe headaches and raging sore throats.  Yes, we had both gotten Covid from the crowed bus.  I can\'t imagine that everyone on the bus didn\'t also get Covid.
    That was the end of our tour.  I called and wrote Tourist Israel but received no response.  Changing our fights home and other related expenses cost hundreds of dollars.
    I am a travel journalist and have traveled to over 70 countries in the past 45 years.  This was by far the worst planned, worst organized, worst run tour I have ever been on.

Stay away.','Avoid Tourist Israel and save your money. This was the first of two tours I booked during my recent trip, and both suffered from the same issues, Poor logistics, bad communication, and actual schedules that differed wildly from the agenda on the website. There was mass confusion at the pickup in Tel Aviv. Several buses were taking people on various tours, but neither the Tourist Israel representative nor the drivers knew which bus was for which tour. After an hour wait to sort that out and an hour of travel time, we arrived in Jerusalem to… switch buses again. Same issue here with poor communication. The tour of the Old City and the guide himself were actually highlights. Once handed off to a taxi driver for the Dead Sea portion of the tour, the driver dropped us off at the parking lot entrance with no instructions. We texted a Tourist Israel help line to find out a contact person and time for pickup. Once we arrived 15 minutes early for our pickup to return to Tel Aviv, the bus waited one hour in the parking lot for the guide to go find 4 stragglers before departing. The bus was full of about 30 people and the guide made everyone wait while she searched for people at the beach. We arrived in Tel Aviv 1.5 hours later than scheduled and I missed a dinner reservation. This is a horrendous tour company. Save your money and arrange it yourself with a driver or rent a car.',1.0,'2023-05-18T22:26:55Z','REV-5/VcnlIQRSe4WM2taPQKkEFdQ4kos8tvtckvpCX4PHE=','en','Y5412ESbrianw','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P7','Masada, Ein Gedi and The Dead Sea from Jerusalem','Masada at Noon?','Moshe was an excellent tour guide, knowledgable and open to many questions, I hadn\'t been to the Dead Sea in 20 years and it was sad to see its deterioration and the beach was kind of gross but so it is.

We agreed to be picked up at the end of the cruise, take the tour and finish the tour with a drop off at the Tel Aviv airport.    Our guide picked us up, as agreed, at the cruise port in Haifa.  From there, he drove us to Akko for a very fast paced tour of the fortress and tunnels.  He suggested that we might enjoy a ride in a speedboat around the perimeter of the fortress.  This ended up being a “joyride “ in which the boat operator attempts to soak the tourists in the boat.  Unfortunately, our tour was ending at the airport where we were to get on an almost 12 hour flight home.  So, with sea water soaked hair and clothes, we then headed north to a border town to visit a cave situated by the sea.  I was told that we did not have time to to go to Caesarea.  We headed back to Haifa where the tour involved us getting out of the car for 10 minutes to view the Baha’i Gardens from the top of the gardens.  We then got into the car and started heading to the airport.  The guide told me that he had a family dinner scheduled for that evening and that the only reason he took the tour was because he was told we would end early.  I told him that I hadn’t said that and that our flight was not until 11:25 pm.   I was interested in seeing all 3 of the advertised places and to end in time for our 11:25 pm flight.  Instead, we got a very abbreviated tour that was not what was agreed upon, no stop for lunch, a drenching with sea water (with no possibility of showering), and dropped off at the airport 6 hours before our flight.   To arrive at the airport 6 hours early with wet clothes, wet, frizzy, seawater soaked hair and not having seen what we paid for is the most frustrating, disappointing and expensive part of our entire trip to Israel.  This occurred 2 months ago, I have been in touch with Tourist Israel regarding a refund or at least a partial refund and, while they originally responded that they were looking into the situation, I have not heard anything since June, it is now August.',1.0,'2023-08-24T20:00:59Z','REV-dqe66JG9yhhel+ICoYtS/crURo+yg5cXD6SRykIw/WU=','en','TravelStories116','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P71','Caesarea, Haifa And Akko Tour','Nice!','The tour was well organized and managed by our guide who was very knowledgeable.

The driver from Jerusalem to the Jordanian border was terrifying.  the driver was texting while driving (a fellow passenger took photos of this) He was speeding, tailgating and unsafely passing other vehicles on curves. 

The required arrival time of 3am is ridiculous.  You will need too tired to actually enjoy anything.  

The stop in Aqaba is dumb and a waste of time. Only 2 people signed up to do any of the overpriced extra activities so we had to kill time by driving to a fort no one wanted to see

The restaurant they take you to is way overpriced.  Some of us walked down the road and went to a different restaurant which was fabulous and much less expensive. 

A lot of time spent doing nothing 

Wadi rum is not actually a jeep ride but a ride in the back of a pick up truck with benches. It was OK. 

Speaker was blown on the bus so we could not hear much of what the tour guide said. 

Not enough time at Petra, which is the whole reason we are there.

We went on a Friday, which might have been a mistake as we didn\'t really get a chance to experience Aqaba as everyone is home / at prayer and the city is quiet. We chose the private beach and pool optional experience which is just what we needed after hours of travel and it definitely relaxed us, the beach was quite, the city was quiet and its just what we needed.

Our tour guide, Neisar was great, super friendly, very helpful, funny and knowledgeable - he definitely made the trip more fun.

We did a last minute upgrade to the bubble accommodation which is definitely worth it for the views and waking up to the desert! The jeep rides were fun and food at the accommodation was great, no complaints.

For starters, the bus you take overnight to go to Jordan is legit the most uncomfortable bus I’ve been in my life. The sits are super small in every sense. Then you arrive to Aqaba. That’s when the tour starts and let me tell you that is a complete waste of time. The 1st day you do nothing but listen to a guide talk about other activities with extra charge and stopping in these activities to drop people off. If you don’t go to any extra activities, they take you to a restaurant that has also an extra cost after being hours and hours on a bus. Let’s make clear that as soon as you arrive to Jordan there is no time to stop in the hotel, wash your face or even your teeth (thing that they don’t explain in their emails so it’s a pretty ugly surprise after sleeping on an uncomfortable bus). They say they will get you a jeep tour when in reality is a few cars falling apart that will take you to a tent of beduins for tea and then to the hotel. The hotel was pretty great honestly but had some serious water issues. Then the 2nd day was pretty ok except for the tour guide that talked for hours non-stop and said NOTHING… I learned nothing about Wadi Rum and Petra. Terrible tour guide. The city of Perra is magnificent but that’s absolutely nothing to do with the tour itself. Then they take you straight to crossing the border back to Israel. And now the cherry on top… coming back to Tel Aviv, the bus was overbooked meaning that there was people that had to stay in the border and wait for another bus to come pick them up and it was the same bus that took us the 1st day. So uncomfortable and small sits, no bathroom for a 6 hour drive, plus a driver with very bad attitude who stopped the bus completely in the middle of the highway because someone stand up for a second. Honestly, never taking a tour with this company ever again.',1.0,'2023-09-09T17:24:03Z','REV-T0EjAj+duxIxe2FOFNJbVQR4RzjZZgB8vnVr8WGoWK4=','en','Experience706883','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P8','2 Day Tour to Petra and Wadi Rum from Tel Aviv','Incredible tour, highly recommend','This tour is amazing, it was phenomenal visiting Wadi Rum and Petra and the hospitality in Jordan was incredible.

The only negative I have is that I did not find Tourist Israel to be a particularly helpful/informative agency that helped out their guests. It was very difficult to get any more information or response from them in the days leading up to the tour. We left from Jerusalem, and pick up is from a hotel at 3:00am. We struggled to get a taxi (and there is no public transport at that time of night). Very hard to get any more information or assistance from the company - it\'s something they could definitely work on.

The booking process was really simple. Because i was taking multiple trips with them, they organised a specific itinerary for me and I was able to book all the tours with one payment. Staff respond super quick and are very helpful. The 2 day tour of Petra and Jordan is a long haul and quite tiring but it is so worth it.  Comfortable coaches (but the driver on the Israel legs is a bit of a speed fiend).  Never had my passport check so many times as going back and forth across the border between Israel and Jordan but the staff do try to make this as easy as possible for you.  Frequent stops on the journey for comfort and food breaks or shopping.  When in Wadi Rum, I suggest you choose your pick up truck carefully.  We had a relatively new vehicle with decent tires etc. Some vehicles were really battered and drove on slicks more often seen on a F1 car.   The Bedouin camp experience is great.  There is a fabulous pool and the accommodation is really good standard. Worth taking a torch with you as periodically the power trips out. Often it is back on within a few mins but having a torch is a useful.  Petra is wonderful with superb guides.  Dinner, breakfast and lunch are included and of a pretty good standard.  For tours starting in Tel Aviv I would highly recommend Tourist Israel.  My family and I did three separate tours and we were not disappointed at all.  They offer an excellent service.

The versatility of the two-day one night Petra/Red Sea tour was excellent. Our tour guide Nizar, was a world-class story teller of history, culture and embellished entertaining bloviation. Note to Nizar: colorfully language reduces the intellectual presentation of the speaker. Our friends who had previosly taken this tour bragged about Nizar. We had hoped to have him as our tour guide. The night return to Jerusalem from Jordan was unsatisfying. The bus driver angered on coming truck drivers because his highbeam light were not switched to lowbeam.

The guide in Jordan was all the time making us stop at stores, wanting us to buy things so we lost a lot of valuable time in gift shops.

The driver from Jerusalem to the Jordanian border was terrifying.  the driver was texting while driving (a fellow passenger took photos of this) He was speeding, tailgating and unsafely passing other vehicles on curves. 

The required arrival time of 3am is ridiculous.  You will need too tired to actually enjoy anything.  

The stop in Aqaba is dumb and a waste of time. Only 2 people signed up to do any of the overpriced extra activities so we had to kill time by driving to a fort no one wanted to see

The restaurant they take you to is way overpriced.  Some of us walked down the road and went to a different restaurant which was fabulous and much less expensive. 

A lot of time spent doing nothing 

Wadi rum is not actually a jeep ride but a ride in the back of a pick up truck with benches. It was OK. 

Speaker was blown on the bus so we could not hear much of what the tour guide said. 

Not enough time at Petra, which is the whole reason we are there.

Our Martian tent was pretty awesome and clean.

The logistics of the tour are impressive as tourist Israel and Jordan work together to make the tour happen. 

Pros: Decent value for money. We priced out flights and hotels on our own and the tour saved us money in the end which was good and is generally just less hassle to organize. If you choose the 3 day tour you can bypass paying a $65 visa fee to enter Jordan, which is essentially the price difference between the two day and three day tours. Wadi rum and Petra were both stunning to visit.

Cons: Too much up selling. They try and up sell you a lot of things that in our opinion didn’t seem worth it and weren’t mentioned at the time of booking like some of the other extras. The up sells are overpriced (for example, they tried to upsell my girlfriend and I lunch in Aqaba for $25 per person. We chose to eat on our own and spent $6 between the two of us from local food shops in the city). Lastly, the sites they take you to in Aqaba are a bit lack luster. The city has some great beaches around but sadly they do not take you to visit them.

Our tour guide Mithcal (unsure of spelling) was so gracious. But it was the tour that began on Wednesday 13th September. He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and nothing was too much for him. His English was excellent, and his care even moreso. We even had a few members of our tour that experienced external issues that he went above and beyond to help with. To see this was exceptional. The tour ran smoothly, with excellent stops along the route. The only downside was that timings were off: we were late to be picked up (2:30am instead of 2am) and we were dropped back after the tour 4 hours late (2am drop-off instead of 10pm). 

However, the tour was a great trip and I would fully recommend booking on for the trip of a lifetime.

And our guide Ahmed was really nice. I really suggest the 3 days tour, because if you take the 2 days tour you have only 3/4 hours in Petra and it is not enough. While with the 3 days tour you have one extra day to explore and go to the moanstery.

What I did not like is that they did not gave us a detailed program of the tour. For example we did not know the name of our hotel the second night until the drop us there, we did not have a precise time schedule in advance. Also our bus pick us up one hour later in Tel Aviv the first day and waiting one hour at night is not really professional. 

Furthermroe, the few hours in Aqba are not really useful, it woul have been nicer to spend more time in the Wadi rum.',4.0,'2023-08-29T03:58:32Z','REV-zGS9bwnrkmnu42pnvPdjEJ1luI1trEAZ1sY6m1szkwQ=','en','636sabrig','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P82','3 Day Tour to Petra Wadi Rum and Jordan From Tel Aviv','Decent value for money','Overall good. The logistics of the tour are impressive as tourist Israel and Jordan work together to make the tour happen. 

Pros: Decent value for money. We priced out flights and hotels on our own and the tour saved us money in the end which was good and is generally just less hassle to organize. If you choose the 3 day tour you can bypass paying a $65 visa fee to enter Jordan, which is essentially the price difference between the two day and three day tours. Wadi rum and Petra were both stunning to visit.

Cons: Too much up selling. They try and up sell you a lot of things that in our opinion didn’t seem worth it and weren’t mentioned at the time of booking like some of the other extras. The up sells are overpriced (for example, they tried to upsell my girlfriend and I lunch in Aqaba for $25 per person. We chose to eat on our own and spent $6 between the two of us from local food shops in the city). Lastly, the sites they take you to in Aqaba are a bit lack luster. The city has some great beaches around but sadly they do not take you to visit them. 

Overall, we would give this a 4/5 because of the good value and the fact that you get to visit two amazing places!',4.0,'2023-08-25T15:05:43Z','REV-7IOJwwuSvVmPd8pWk+lyopJh7mEX84C63gN1CLb4M0Q=','en','ryangY4807LR','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P8','2 Day Tour to Petra and Wadi Rum from Tel Aviv','Great experience and friendly tour guide','I went on the 2 day petra and wadi rum tour, other than the bus showing up 30 minutes late to pick us up in the middle of the night, the wait once we got across the border to Jordan for around 25/30 minute due to other people not showing up on time - we had a great trip. We went on a Friday, which might have been a mistake as we didn\'t really get a chance to experience Aqaba as everyone is home / at prayer and the city is quiet. We chose the private beach and pool optional experience which is just what we needed after hours of travel and it definitely relaxed us, the beach was quite, the city was quiet and its just what we needed.

Our tour guide, Neisar was great, super friendly, very helpful, funny and knowledgeable - he definitely made the trip more fun.

We did a last minute upgrade to the bubble accommodation which is definitely worth it for the views and waking up to the desert! The jeep rides were fun and food at the accommodation was great, no complaints.

Petra was great too - we were a bit tired to fully explore the place but super impressed and blown away by everything.

All in all a great trip with tourist Israel - would recommend and hopefully you get Neisar!

Most of our group was returning to Israel at this point, but we were supposed to stay one more night. I tried calling Tourist Israel to see if we could return early with them, but couldn’t get through. I sent an email with what had transpired to this point and our plans to return. No response. 
We made the bus ride to Israel and crossed the tense border only to find the bus to Jerusalem was full. The bus attendant got on the phone with a supervisor who immediately blamed us for making the journey without approval, despite the fact they were unresponsive.

The 1st day you do nothing but listen to a guide talk about other activities with extra charge and stopping in these activities to drop people off.

The 1st day you do nothing but listen to a guide talk about other activities with extra charge and stopping in these activities to drop people off. If you don’t go to any extra activities, they take you to a restaurant that has also an extra cost after being hours and hours on a bus. Let’s make clear that as soon as you arrive to Jordan there is no time to stop in the hotel, wash your face or even your teeth (thing that they don’t explain in their emails so it’s a pretty ugly surprise after sleeping on an uncomfortable bus). They say they will get you a jeep tour when in reality is a few cars falling apart that will take you to a tent of beduins for tea and then to the hotel. The hotel was pretty great honestly but had some serious water issues. Then the 2nd day was pretty ok except for the tour guide that talked for hours non-stop and said NOTHING… I learned nothing about Wadi Rum and Petra. Terrible tour guide.

Wadi Rum was great and the martian tent was a great experience, the jeep safary was nice. For Petra keep in mind that the schedule is so tight so you have 2 options either stay with the guide or  run to go to the monestery in Petra. It is not possible to do both. The best is if you take the 3day tour and you have 1 extra day in Petra. The description of the tour is misleading that you have enough time for the Monestery. Also keep in mind that you leave 2 am in the morning and you come back 2 am again at night so it is pretty intense.',5.0,'2023-08-24T07:04:11Z','REV-5pR4YkHsYJMeTyBTF182D7yZ4328S2bsEkifWVUzC4E=','en','Monica R','TRIPADVISOR'),('262572P1','Etna Tour jeep excursion and trekking','Etna keep tour','Unfortunately we didn’t get to the top but Alasandro our guide was very knowledgeable and it was very interesting, he was great',4.0,'2023-07-18T10:27:35Z','REV-MsDIgYunBVtWM35EW5LODsVM03GaSTqDG/35d4fUtLc=','en','Excursion766535','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P87','Private transfer between Ben Gurion Airport and Jerusalem','Transfer','Nice smooth ride, got to airport with time to spare.

For starters, the bus you take overnight to go to Jordan is legit the most uncomfortable bus I’ve been in my life. The sits are super small in every sense. Then you arrive to Aqaba. That’s when the tour starts and let me tell you that is a complete waste of time. The 1st day you do nothing but listen to a guide talk about other activities with extra charge and stopping in these activities to drop people off. If you don’t go to any extra activities, they take you to a restaurant that has also an extra cost after being hours and hours on a bus. Let’s make clear that as soon as you arrive to Jordan there is no time to stop in the hotel, wash your face or even your teeth (thing that they don’t explain in their emails so it’s a pretty ugly surprise after sleeping on an uncomfortable bus). They say they will get you a jeep tour when in reality is a few cars falling apart that will take you to a tent of beduins for tea and then to the hotel. The hotel was pretty great honestly but had some serious water issues. Then the 2nd day was pretty ok except for the tour guide that talked for hours non-stop and said NOTHING… I learned nothing about Wadi Rum and Petra. Terrible tour guide. The city of Perra is magnificent but that’s absolutely nothing to do with the tour itself. Then they take you straight to crossing the border back to Israel. And now the cherry on top… coming back to Tel Aviv, the bus was overbooked meaning that there was people that had to stay in the border and wait for another bus to come pick them up and it was the same bus that took us the 1st day. So uncomfortable and small sits, no bathroom for a 6 hour drive, plus a driver with very bad attitude who stopped the bus completely in the middle of the highway because someone stand up for a second. Honestly, never taking a tour with this company ever again.',1.0,'2023-09-09T17:24:03Z','REV-T0EjAj+duxIxe2FOFNJbVQR4RzjZZgB8vnVr8WGoWK4=','en','Experience706883','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P8','2 Day Tour to Petra and Wadi Rum from Tel Aviv','Incredible tour, highly recommend','This tour is amazing, it was phenomenal visiting Wadi Rum and Petra and the hospitality in Jordan was incredible. I would highly recommend this tour. The martian tents in Wadi Rum were beautiful, and the food at the campsite was ridiculously good.

The only negative I have is that I did not find Tourist Israel to be a particularly helpful/informative agency that helped out their guests. It was very difficult to get any more information or response from them in the days leading up to the tour. We left from Jerusalem, and pick up is from a hotel at 3:00am. We struggled to get a taxi (and there is no public transport at that time of night). Very hard to get any more information or assistance from the company - it\'s something they could definitely work on.

Aside from that, the tour was perfect and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit Petra & Wadi Rum.',5.0,'2023-09-05T13:17:58Z','REV-gUiHtdTCYmChpjgcAnvgRFDVZpHmt28rdUTOTNNV8NA=','en','Kieranodo','TRIPADVISOR'),('26254P8','2 Day Tour to Petra and Wadi Rum from Tel Aviv','Amazing experience','Trip was amazing.
