2.From Tel Aviv: Jerusalem Old City & Dead Sea Guided Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 389 reviews · 10 hours · from $133

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem with a guide such as Liat, Moti, or Sigal, depending on the departure. See the Mount of Olives, Western Wall, Via Dolorosa, Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and Old City quarters, then finish with a mineral-rich Dead Sea float.

“It was a nice excursion to Jerusalem and then some relaxing time at Dead Sea. Our guide Moti was very nice and knowledgeable, some funny jokes here and there. The driver was also very good, is clean and comfortable. The only thing I would have wanted maybe is a bit free time in Jerusalem but I understand that might be a problem due to different cultures there and situations. Overall I would do it again if I visit Israel a second time.”
