Our guide Gadi managed our large group really well in Israel. It would be a lot smoother if we only had 1-2 hotels to pickup and drop off at. 4-5 hotels spread out wasted time in traffic. Gadi had deep and excellent knowledge and a treasured well used Bible to share and his Jewish perspective on the “must see” Jesus locations kept me thinking about how the Pharisees and Sadducee’s viewed Jesus. We needed another hour to see Petra so please try to get the Jordanian tour guide to shorten the much stop. Our scheduled hotel was overbooked and an alternate was sourced but that should have been done during the day while we were independently touring Petra. There was confusion at the airport Jordan to Egypt about the visas we feel this could have been handled better. Egypt was frenetic for sure. Again big distances between Hotels should have been avoided. Gigi was lovely very informative especially at he museum. Loved the pyramids and sphinx.

CTO tours gives you a great value. The tour was excellent and Juval the tour guide was just super. They really look out for you to make sure that you are comfortable. Since the tour is such a great value for the money, the only suggestion I would give others is to pay for the hotel upgrades for the portion of your trip in Tel Aviv and Elat. The rooms were old, kind of musty, the mattresses were bad and the furniture was old and very used. Its not a complaint because you do get so much for your dollar, so paying a bit more for your rooms would have made the trip even more enjoyable.
