Best Tour Companies in Israel (Updated 2025)
"I found Abraham Tours aimed at independent, budget travelers who want lots of context — they give extensive information about the culture, history, and politics of the region — and offer trips from short half- or one-day outings to 2–12 day itineraries focused on hiking, food, or the desert. Their short offerings include a Jerusalem graffiti tour ($28) and a kibbutz experience from Tel Aviv ($63); a three-day Jerusalem and Dead Sea tour starts at $146 and a five-day northern and coastal trip costs about $375. They also run “dual narrative” one-day tours of Gaza, Jerusalem, and Hebron (around $100) that include activities such as driving along the Gaza border, exploring Jericho, seminars on the Gaza–Israel conflict, and even video calls with Gaza residents to present both sides." - Matthew Kepnes

Shahar was our tour guide and what amazing knowledge did he bring to the tour! We appreciated his adventurous spirit, ability to translate, and laidback guidance. He allowed us free time at all of the sites which we really enjoyed.
I should also mention his expert navigation of the area. The short cuts and rooftop view he showed us made the tour feel more personable.
Thank you Abraham Tours and Shahar for a professional, organized experience. We couldn’t have taken on Old City Jerusalem without you.

The Gaza Envelope Tour was excellent. Our guide, Ariel, was knowledgeable, interesting, compassionate and understanding. The sites really helped to understand the situation on the ground in a way that is hard to grasp from another country. I didn’t feel rushed, I had time to absorb what I was seeing and hearing. It was a very complete itinerary, but not so jampacked that I felt rushed. I felt very safe at all times. I would recommend this tour to anyone who truly wants to understand October 7.

We did various tours and each of the tour was very informative and engaging. The insights and experiences shared by the guide Amit came very authentic and provided a deeper understanding to appreciate it. Well organized and a great tour across all experiences.
We also did a Shabbat experience tour with Shahar and that was super informative about Old Jerusalem city and so seamlessly decoded the complex history. Great story telling and humbling experience that made our overall experience even memorable.

Jerusalem day tour from Tel Aviv was an excellent experience. Shakar did a great job showing us his city. He is passionate and his knowledge was very impressive. It is a chilled tour and we also saw all the main sights that we wanted to see. Thank you Abraham for this organization, looking forward for others tours with you 🙏

Our day trip to Masada, Ein Gedi, and the Dead Sea was absolutely flawless! The organization was top-notch, making the entire day feel effortless and well-paced. Our guide, Ariel, was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable, kind, and full of engaging historical anecdotes that brought each site to life. With a great group, comfortable transport, and fair pricing, it was a perfect experience from start to finish.

I had family visiting, and decided to try Abraham's Tlalim tours; it did not disappoint! We had an amazing time on our tour to Masada and the dead sea. Unfortunately it was raining a few days prior, so Ein Gedi was closed, but that means we had extra time at our other locations, making the most out of our trip.
Out tour guide Ariel was so warm and knowledgeable; we really enjoyed his explanations and he always made sure were comfortable. Our driver Mahdi was also incredibly pleasant. I would definitely use Abraham for other tours in the future.

We had a truly wonderful 2D/1N trip to Petra. Abraham Tours made sure that every step of the way we had support on the ground. Even when there was a strike at the Jordanian Border - they immediately re-routed us so that we will still get everything planned. Their connections & the local partners they have on ground are truly first class / VIP in every sense. We felt safe, secure and all details well provided. If you are thinking of a tour to PETRA … Abraham Tours is the ONE to book.
