Heart of Israel: Tel Aviv, Jerusalem & the Dead Sea

Private Guided Tour | Tel Aviv, Mediterranean Coast, Jerusalem, Dead Sea Begin on the Mediterranean shore in Tel Aviv, the first Hebrew city, and travel north along the coast to Roman Caesarea, the Crusader port of Akko and the white cliffs of Rosh HaNikra. From buzzing markets and Bauhaus boulevards to hidden museums of Israel's founding, these first days move from sea breeze to deep history. Then climb to Jerusalem, the City of Gold. Walk the four quarters of the Old City, descend into the Western Wall Tunnels, trace the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and stand in reflection at Yad Vashem. Along the way you'll dig for real antiquities at Beit Guvrin and train at a counter-terror academy. The journey ends in the desert: ascend Masada, float in the Dead Sea, and welcome Shabbat at the Western Wall. It is designed for families and travelers who want to connect deeply with the land, its stories and its people. Every day is private and fully guided, with flexible pacing and VIP airport service on arrival and departure. Tour starts in Tel Aviv and ends at Ben Gurion Airport.
