1.Golan Heights Day Trip from Tel Aviv

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 65 reviews · from $128Our pick

Leave Tel Aviv early for a full day in the Golan Heights. With a guide and air-conditioned transport, you will see the Jordan Valley, pass the Sea of Galilee, explore Katzrin’s ancient synagogue and museum, and visit Mount Bental’s Syrian bunkers. Some departures also include Yarendit and Hammat Gader, so check the day’s exact route.

“It was really nice to have only three people the minimum necessary for the tour to operate on this tour. As a result we had a more intimate tour. Our guide was excellent. We visited the talmudic village of Katzrin to see the ruins. Then we climbed to a lookout over the border and we were able to chat with the UN peacekeepers stationed there. It was interesting to visit a lesser known part of Israel. If you want to get off the beaten path, this tour is for you.”

“Fantastic trip, definitely got to see a side of Israel that is so often overlooked but is a major part of both its history and its present. Tour guide was very knowledgable and helpful. One downside is if you do a different tour in the area you're going to end up at the same place for lunch and there weren't a lot of options. Would have preferred options for lunch given the small size of the tour group.”
