“Reasons this tour scores so high is the personal communication with the participants, by tour guides only, the late departure, the relaxed pace with breaks for food and drinks.
We stop for coffee, not for a souvenir shop”
The basis for the ranking is the quantity and quality of reviews on the largest Travel Platform with almost half a billion active users per month.
For the Middle East region, it is the daily Boutique tour from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, operated by Amazing Jerusalem Tours, that was ranked as the best tour in Israel for the third year in a row.
“Reasons this tour scores so high is the personal communication with the participants, by tour guides only, the late departure, the relaxed pace with breaks for food and drinks.
We stop for coffee, not for a souvenir shop”, says Menno de Vries, founder of the company and himself a licensed tour guide and that is very much appreciated by our audience.
Besides experiencing the amazing sites and history of Jerusalem, the guides also discuss some of the geopolitical complexities, which unfortunately capture most of the media exposure about Israel abroad.
“During this tour, our clients get a deeper understanding of coexistence in Israel. Information about that is highly appreciated but the real icing on the cake, that makes us the number once again, could be the cold beer that we serve in the bus after a long and hot day” says Menno.
