1 Review by TourRadar travelers“This tour was an absolutely incredible experience and exceeded our expectations in every way. Definitely do this trip. We learned so much about all aspects of this beautiful country. This is a great way to see lots in a short space of time. The itinerary was great with a nice balance between planned activities and time on our own. An excellent overview of Israel, with a huge amount of variety. Great for those interested in the history of the holy land and who wish to learn about its culture. Our tour guide was exceptionally professional and competent and went out of his way to ensure that we were looked after, and made the tour just fantastic. He was so attentive to us all and really allowed everyone to make the most of our time travelling. He had great knowledge of everywhere we went and was therefore able to give excellent recommendations for food and activities. He is always happy to help with anything, and I always felt extremely safe. Thoroughly recommend this tour. We will never forget this trip and will recommend Click Tours to anyone willing to listen to our enthusiasm.”

What people love about Budget Tours in Israel
- Highlights of Israel and Jordan - 11 days
This tour was very good. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the history of the places we saw as well as the overall history of the region. We upgraded our hotels and they were all wonderful. The only thing I would recommend is telling people how long it takes to make the drive to and from Jordan. We opted to do this tour instead of the one where you fly into Eilat, but if I had known how many hours we would be on the bus, I probably would have made the other choice. Because people came from various hotels in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, it took a long time to pick them up and then make the drive to Jordan, and the same on the way back. Those were very long days and too much time on a bus.
- Heritage of the Holyland and Jordan Tour - 11 Days
Metropolitan Hotel in Tel Aviv allotted a very small and smelly room to us. Grand Court Hotel in Jerusalem was not upto the mark. It offered all members of the group rooms in the lowest floors only. More importantly, the room assigned to us was not properly maintained. There were problems with the sink in the toilet, TV, noisy AC, absence of hangers in the wardrobe etc. The staff were rude. Similarly, the Grand Palace Hotel in Amman was not in good shape. There were problems in the toilet, dirty linen in the bed etc. Only the Leonardo Plaza Hotel in Tiberias and the Nabatean Castle Hotel in Petra were excellent. The bus driver Abid in Israel was not reliable. He kept us waiting at various pick-up points. Our visit to Bethlehem got delayed by more than an hour, because of which we could not see the Church of Nativity properly. We would suggest that the Bethlehem part of the visit should take place early in the morning followed by visits to the Church of John the Baptiste and the Holocaust Museum. All the guides were very well informed and answered our questions except the guide at Bethlehem (Firdous). Overall, the visit was extremely well coordinated by CTO.
- Highlights of the Holyland and Petra Trip Experience - 9 Days
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.
What our customers ask about Budget Tours to Israel
When is the most affordable time to visit Israel on a budget tour?
The best deals in Israel come during March-April and October-November. These months bring pleasant weather fewer tourists and noticeably lower prices. The Dead Sea region becomes more accessible and budget-friendly during these periods while places like the Galilee and Jerusalem drop their hotel rates significantly. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We went in March and found the weather perfect and prices much better than peak season."
What are the best budget-friendly areas to stay in Israel?
Budget travelers often head to Tel Aviv's Florentin district where the Seanet Hotel offers reasonable rates or near Jerusalem's Damascus Gate where the Prima Park Hotel welcomes cost-conscious visitors. The waterfront area of Tiberias with options like the Prima Galil Hotel serves as another wallet-friendly base. According to TourRadar reviews: "The Florentin area in Tel Aviv had great affordable restaurants and a authentic local atmosphere."
How much should I budget daily for meals not included in the tour?
Plan for 30-45 USD daily for meals outside your tour package. Street food like falafel in Jerusalem's Old City runs 5-7 USD while casual restaurants in Tel Aviv charge about 15-20 USD for a meal. Local markets such as Mahane Yehuda in Jerusalem offer good value for fresh food and quick bites. As confirmed by a TourRadar traveler: "We saved money by eating at local markets and small family restaurants especially in Jerusalem's Muslim Quarter where prices were very reasonable."
What free activities are available on budget tours in Israel?
Many of Israel's most memorable experiences come without a price tag. In Jerusalem you can walk the Via Dolorosa see the Western Wall and visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for free. Tel Aviv's beachfront promenade and the ancient port city of Jaffa cost nothing to explore. The bustling Carmel Market and Mahane Yehuda offer free cultural insights. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The best experiences were actually the free ones - walking through Jerusalem's Old City and soaking in the atmosphere cost nothing but was priceless."
What entrance fees should I budget for that aren't typically included?
Set aside money for key attractions outside standard tour packages. The City of David Archaeological Park costs around 40 USD while the Tower of David Museum charges 15 USD. Special exhibits at the Israel Museum run about 21 USD and the Western Wall Sound and Light Show costs 15 USD. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The City of David tour was worth the extra entrance fee - just remember to bring cash as not all sites accept cards." Religious sites like the Western Wall and Church of the Holy Sepulchre remain free.
How much should I budget for local transportation costs?
Set aside 20-30 USD daily for transportation on non-tour days. A day pass for Jerusalem's public buses costs about 5-6 USD and typical taxi rides in Tel Aviv run 15-20 USD. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Local transportation was affordable and efficient especially the convenient bus system between major cities."
