Where people go
The Dead Sea and Masada
An early start planned around the season, the park rules for your date, and time at the Dead Sea before the hottest part of the day.
Masada and the Dead SeaThe Galilee and Nazareth
Green hills, the Sea of Galilee, Nazareth, Tzfat's alleys, and a Golan lookout. The part of the country that surprises people most.
The Galilee and NazarethCaesarea and the coast
Roman harbour, aqueduct, and a coastal lunch. The easiest big day in the country and the best one for a jet-lagged first morning.
Tel Aviv and Jaffa
Markets, Bauhaus streets, the old port, and the sea. Usually a half day, and usually better on foot with the car meeting you.
What a private day actually looks like
You choose the departure time. Masada wants a pre-dawn start and Tel Aviv does not. A coach leaves at eight because forty people agreed on eight.
The vehicle and driver are assigned for the booked service window. Coats, water, shopping, and the bag nobody wants to carry can stay in the vehicle while it remains with your booking; pickup points and any mid-day changes are coordinated with the driver.
You can change it while it is running. Say it in the car. Skipping the last stop because everyone is tired is not a renegotiation.
It is your party in the vehicle. No strangers, no shared itinerary, and nobody holding the group up — including you.
Your driver knows the practical things: which entrance has the shorter walk, where the car can actually wait, which sites are unbearable at noon, and how long the drive really takes at four in the afternoon.
Driver, guide, or both?
A driver gets you there, handles the logistics of the day, and knows the country well. Ours can share practical route context without replacing a licensed guide, and we will keep the scope clear.
A licensed guide does something different: interpretation at the site itself. It is a licensed profession in Israel — a multi-year course and a Ministry of Tourism examination — and our drivers are not licensed guides. We don't blur that, because you would notice.
The arrangement most people end up with is a driver for every day, and a licensed guide on the two or three days where the history is the reason you came. Jerusalem's Old City and Masada are the usual two. A beach day or a market day rarely needs one.
Tell us which days matter most and we'll say honestly where a guide earns its cost — and bring one in for those days only.
How it works
Tell us the day
Which places, which hotel you're leaving from, how many of you, and whether you want a guide.
We come back with a plan and a written quote
Departure time for your actual date, the route order, where the walks are, and where lunch works.
The car is at the door
It can remain with you for the confirmed hours; the vehicle, driver, and waiting scope are written into the quote.
Building more than one day
Most people book two or three days out of a week rather than seven. If you are putting a whole trip together, the seven, ten, and fourteen-day frameworks show what actually fits. A single proposal can make coordination simpler; price depends on the dates, route, hours, vehicles, and scope.

Is this a tour?
It's your day, driven and planned. There's no fixed departure, no group, and no set route — we build it around where you're staying, what you want to see, and how early you're willing to get up.
Do we get a guide?
If you want one. Guiding is a licensed profession here and our drivers aren't licensed guides — so when you want interpretation at the site itself, we bring in a licensed guide for that day. On some days you won't need one.
How early do we have to leave?
It depends entirely on the day and the season. Masada is a pre-dawn start; Caesarea is not. We'll give you the actual time for your date rather than a number from a brochure.
Can we do two of these in one day?
Some combinations work and some don't. Jerusalem and the Dead Sea in one day is a long day that shortchanges both. Caesarea and Tel Aviv is comfortable. Ask and we'll tell you honestly.
What does a day cost?
There's no rate card. It depends on the route, the hours, the vehicle, and whether a guide is included. Send us the day you're imagining and we'll write you a quote.
Can you collect us from a hotel outside Tel Aviv or Jerusalem?
Tell us where you're staying. We check the route, vehicle, driver, and pickup point before confirming what can be included in the written quote.
Which days matter most?
Send the dates, hotel, and the places on your list. We'll tell you what fits and write the quote around it.
