Travel Review: Israel Family Trip, Jerusalem, Masada, Ein Gedi, Dead Sea, Acre, Bahai Gardens, Caesarea, Jeep Tour, Camel Ride

This was the best vacation we have ever had.  The travel company selected by Zicasso and in particular its CEO did an exceptional job putting together a tour package for us. We were a family group of 9 ranging in age from 5 to 75 visiting lsrael for 2 weeks beginning with a bar mitzvah in Jerusalem followed by a tour of the country. From arrival to departure everything was handled flawlessly. Much credit is also due to the fabulous tour guide that the travel company found for us.  He related well with all of us.
The 5 and 6 year old children loved him for his playfulness and the games he created as well as the secrets he showed them like the Winnie the Pooh tree in a National Park  and the candle shop in Tzfat with a mockup of Noah's Ark and all the animals made of candle wax. The adults were wowwed by his amazing knowledge of the antiquities as well as our discussions about the issues facing modern day Israel. He wove stories of different groups of settlers building communities in the Holy Land.  He taught us how archaeologists pieced together clues to build a story of antique civilizations.
The travel company found us excellent accommodations. We experienced many of the typical tourist spots - Masada, Ein Gedde, Dead Sea, Tzfat, Acre, Bahai Gardens, Caesarea, the old City of Jerusalem and the Wall;  but we also went off road for a Jeep tour in the Golan Heights, had a camel ride, had lunch with a Druze family, visited a Kibbutz, did a Hummus making contest and attended a chocolate making workshop.
Overall this travel company far exceeded our expectations. Our travel specialist worked with us to keep this tour within our budget.
