My husband and I had never been to Israel and booked this tour as a “bucket-list” event. Our tour guide, Efraim Native, was the best - he was a history professor, knew philosophy, religion, politics, economics, abd engineering - answering every question we had. He was friendly, helpful and made excellent food recommendations. Our tour covered Tel Aviv (our new favorite city), Haifa, the Golan (do not miss the Hula Nature Preserve), and Jerusalem (Old and New). We added the Masada/Dead Sea tour at the end. Finally, we chose the 5-Star hotel option and stayed in true luxurious accommodations). We will use Tour Radar and Click Tours again!

Tour was great. Only complaint was the last night hotel in Tel Aviv. Kind of sub-standard compared to the others we stayed at.

Honorah • traveled in March
Thoroughly recommend this tour. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see. All the arrangements worked ike clockwork, our guide was absolutely fantastic! Only criticism would be the choice of hotels, the food was buffet style, never hot and finished by 7.30 to 8 so very early nights. Not really 4 star. But that’s only a minor point, overall it was one of the best holidays I have had. Thank you Tourrader!

Best tour companies for Israel tours
Looking at the Israel tour companies, Booking Tours stands out with consistently good feedback from travelers. Their guides Adi and Yonathan get mentioned often in reviews, with people particularly impressed by how smooth everything runs. Click Tours is a bit more mixed - while some folks had issues with hotel locations and transfer timing, their guide Yarev clearly knows his stuff when it comes to Israel's history and culture. You'll learn a lot from him, even if some of the logistics aren't perfect. Ben Harim sits somewhere in between. Guides like Ami and Lorne Neumann earn praise for being friendly and knowledgeable, but there have been some hiccups with last-minute schedule changes and varying hotel quality. Several travelers mentioned being switched to different accommodations than what they originally booked. The guide quality is actually solid across all three companies, so it really comes down to how much you value consistent organization. If you want the most reliable experience and don't mind paying a bit more, Booking Tours is your best bet. They seem to have their logistics sorted out better than the others. But if you're flexible and more focused on learning about Israel's history, Click Tours with Yarev could work well too, despite some operational wrinkles. Ben Harim could be worth considering if you find a good deal, just go in knowing you might need to be adaptable with changes to the planned itinerary. That said, their guides will definitely make sure you understand the places you're visiting.
Best places to start your Israel tour
Tel Aviv is the main jumping-off point for Israel tours, with 77 of our popular itineraries starting there. Jerusalem comes in second with 21 tours, while a handful begin in Nazareth or also Eilat. Our booking data shows most people secure their spots about 84 days ahead - that's roughly 3 months before departure. This advance planning really matters during peak seasons and religious festivals. A practical heads-up about logistics - some travelers mention occasional transfer issues, so it's smart to verify hotel pickup details when booking. The sweet spots for visiting are spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when the weather's mild and crowds are thinner, though religious festivals can affect site access and hotel availability. Tour lengths range from quick 4-day trips to full 15-day explorations, but most travelers go for 8-10 day trips that mix biblical sites with cultural experiences. Many guests make it a bigger trip by adding stops in Jordan and also Egypt.

Best time to visit Israel
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter really works well for our 8-day Heritage & Holy Land tours since they mix indoor and outdoor activities during the cooler months. You'll get to explore Jerusalem's Old City without fighting summer crowds, then head up north to discover sites across Galilee. Our travelers tell us the Dead Sea visits are excellent in winter - there's something special about those warm mineral waters when the air is crisp. Several tours stop at the Israel Museum where you can see the Dead Sea Scrolls and that detailed Second Temple model while staying warm inside. The 4-day Galilee routes are solid choices too, focusing on northern spots like Nazareth's churches and Caesarea's Roman harbor city when the mild temperatures make walking tours really pleasant.

- Spring 2026
The 5-7 day Jewish heritage tours really come into their own during spring, with wildflowers dotting ancient ruins and temperatures perfect for exploring. Our guests love those early morning Masada climbs this time of year - watching sunrise over the Dead Sea before touring King Herod's fortress. The Golan Heights section is particularly good with its green valleys and vineyard visits, while Safed's artist quarter and ancient synagogues look amazing in spring's clear light. TourRadar customers often mention how the spring weather lets them spend more time outside at places like Caesarea's Roman ruins and also Acre's underground Crusader city.

Our summer tours need smart planning to handle the heat - the popular 5-day Jewish heritage routes start early, include indoor breaks during peak sun and add in water activities like Dead Sea floating. The coastal sections work really well, with Mediterranean breezes keeping things cool as you explore Caesarea's harbor ruins and Haifa's gardens. Many routes include time at the Sea of Galilee, where you can mix historic sites with cool lake views. Our summer travelers consistently share one tip: pick tours with reliable air-conditioned transport between sites and plenty of planned water stops.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall is ideal for our active 4-5 day northern Israel tours, as crowds thin out and temperatures drop to just right. The Galilee and Golan Heights portions are fantastic - our travelers love walking through Banias Nature Reserve with its waterfalls and exploring Mount Hermon's foothills in the crisp air. Several routes time Jerusalem visits perfectly between summer heat and winter rains while exploring the Old City. Dead Sea sections are excellent too, combining warm waters with cooler air for really pleasant float sessions. TourRadar customers particularly like how fall tours can include more walking time at places like Masada, the City of David and also Caesarea's archaeological park.

When's the best time to visit Israel if you want nice weather and fewer tourists?
You'll find the sweet spot during the shoulder seasons - April May June September and October are really ideal with comfortable temperatures that make exploring so much better. July and August can get pretty intense with the heat while winter brings some rain so timing it right makes a huge difference. These middle months are perfect for wandering through places like Ein Gedi Nature Reserve and the ancient ruins at Caesarea you'll actually get to enjoy them without melting in the sun.
What kind of cultural experiences can visitors join in and where do they happen?
There's something really special about joining a Kabbalat Shabbat service at Jerusalem's Western Wall it's this incredibly moving experience as the Jewish Sabbath begins. If you want to see a different side of Israeli life visiting a Kibbutz is fascinating these communal settlements offer tours that show you their unique way of living. You'll find Kibbutzim all over Israel especially in the Galilee and Negev regions. The 6 Day Highlights tour or the 10-day Israeli State tour both include these experiences if you're interested.
What natural areas can you visit outside the cities and how do you get to them?
The Ein Gedi Nature Reserve near the Dead Sea is this amazing desert oasis with hiking trails leading to waterfalls and incredible views you can get there with organized tours or just drive yourself. Up in the Hula Valley there's the Hula Nature Preserve which is fantastic for birdwatching with all these migratory species coming through. You can explore with guides or drive there yourself the 6 Day Highlights tour includes Ein Gedi while the 10-day Israeli State tour gives you the chance to visit Hula Preserve.
