Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Israel is an amazing country with a lot of history and sites to visit. With so much to see, it was really helpful to have someone knowledgeable take our suggestions and schedule and build an itinerary around it. As first time visitors, it was so much easier that way. The accommodations they provided were in great locations and within easy walking distance of a variety of restaurants and sites. The itinerary left us a few days to relax and explore on our own but we found that having a guide go with us was so much better that we had them arrange one, with transportation, on one of those days. They have the right connections to get that done quickly and all we had to do was say where we wanted to go and what time to be picked up.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

We had one main guide that drove us around Israel. He knew an amazing amount of history and was a former archaeologist on top of that. He could talk to us about the holy sites both from a religious standpoint as well as a scientific one. This was interesting because, with the area having such a long history and many cultures living there over time, many sites were destroyed and rebuilt. Our guide could answer questions like "How likely was an event to have happened at a location?". He knew what archaeological items had been found and how they might prove or disprove things.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

Israel is a busy place with lots of tourists and amazing places to visit. Even just hitting the highlights is a busy adventure. It might have been fun to have a little more down time along the way. Our itinerary did give us a few days off but they were in big cities with lots of interesting things to see. Hard to relax with everything available close by. A day or two in a more relaxed place might have helped slow things down a bit.
