Editor’s Take
Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary.
Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.
Israel travel reviews are mostly 5 star, with many reviewers commenting on the guides ability to balance the tone of the tour, offering religious and historical insights, and providing commentary on the present day strife in the region. Additionally, having a local guide was a real highlight for some travelers, bringing the area to life from a modern perspective as well as a historical one.
Safety is often another concern for travelers to Israel, and most reviewers said that being on a tour they generally felt safer than they would have otherwise. It was also a way they could experience more local life than if they had been traveling on their own.
