“We have a great trip, well worth it and the timings were about right. 10 hours in a coach seemed a long time but it really flew by and the Masada trip was worth it even just for the views. The Dead Sea swim was great fun and mud bathing a blast. It might suggestion would be to let people know the first stop is a coffee stop as this might help people with the early start! It’s good to know what the whole plan is to enable p people to make choices . Overall we had a great day, guide was really knowledgable and the people on the trip…”
