10 Days in Israel, incl. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
This 10-day Israeli tour connects 16 cities, from Tel Aviv's coastline to Jerusalem's Old City. The route features 8 major sites including Caesarea National Park, Safed's artist colony, and the Western Wall. Nine nights in premium hotels with daily breakfast included.
- Days 1-2
Tel Aviv:
Start your Israel journey in Tel Aviv. It takes about 30 minutes to reach central Tel Aviv from Ben Gurion Airport, so booking an airport transfer makes sense. Your second day is perfect for exploring the UNESCO-listed White City architecture and spending time at Gordon or Frishman Beach. "Tel Aviv was our new favorite city - a perfect blend of beach culture and urban energy," noted one traveler. Consider staying near Rothschild Boulevard to be close to the best restaurants and nightlife.
- Days 3-4
Northern Coast & Galilee:
Visit Caesarea National Park early around 9 AM before the tour groups arrive. Take time to explore King Herod's ancient port city. Make your way to the charming town of Zichron Yaakov and see Haifa's beautiful Baha'i Gardens. Spend the next day in Safed (Tzfat), known for its artists' quarter and historic synagogues. Stop by a Galilee winery in the Golan Heights region for some excellent wine tasting.
- Day 5
Golan Heights:
Start at Mount Bental for sweeping views into Syria. Visit the Golan Heights Olive Oil Mill. The 11 AM tour tends to be less busy according to previous visitors. Your afternoon could include hiking or kayaking on the Jordan River if you enjoy outdoor activities.
- Days 6-8
Jerusalem:
The drive from Galilee to Jerusalem takes about 3 hours. Get your first view of the city from Mount Scopus. Plan to enter the Old City through Jaffa Gate at 8 AM the next day to avoid crowds. One visitor suggests: "Wear sturdy shoes with good grip - the Old City's stones get slippery, especially in the Western Wall tunnels." Set aside a day for modern Jerusalem, including Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial (visit before 11 AM) and Mahane Yehuda Market.
- Day 9
Optional Dead Sea/Masada:
If you choose this popular day trip leave early around 6 AM to beat the heat. Pack water shoes for the Dead Sea's salty shore and bring a hat since there's almost no shade at either location.
- Day 10
Departure:
Get to Ben Gurion Airport at least 3 hours before your flight. Security lines are usually shorter for morning flights.
10 Days in Israel, incl. Jerusalem and Dead Sea
A luxurious 10-day tour covering 12 Israeli cities, from Jerusalem's Western Wall to Safed's Kabbalah centers. Accommodations include three nights in Jerusalem, two at Dead Sea, three at Kibbutz, and one in Tel Aviv, with daily breakfast and licensed guides.
- Days 1-3
Jerusalem
Land at Ben Gurion airport and spend your first evening in Jerusalem. One traveler advised: "The airport connections were flawless, but having a local guide's phone number in advance would have been helpful." Watch the sun set over the city when the limestone walls take on a beautiful golden color. Start your Jerusalem exploration in the Old City's Jewish Quarter. Visit the Western Wall before 8AM to avoid crowds and find a more peaceful atmosphere. Plan about 3 hours for the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in the afternoon when it's cooler. Your third day is perfect for Underground Jerusalem, including the Byzantine Cardo and City of David excavations. Wear shoes with good grip since the ancient stone steps can be slick.
- Days 4-5
Dead Sea & Masada
Drive 90 minutes to Masada early in the morning to avoid the desert heat. Get to the cable car by 8AM when it opens to beat the lines. After Masada, visit Qumran, home of the Dead Sea Scrolls discovery. Stay two nights at the Dead Sea to fully experience floating in its waters. Important tip: Wait 24 hours after shaving before swimming since the salt water will sting any small cuts.
- Days 6-8
Northern Israel
Head north through Israel's varied landscape. Stop at Caesarea's Roman ruins, about 2 hours from the Dead Sea, then visit Haifa's beautiful Baha'i Gardens. One visitor noted: "Having an archaeologist guide like Yonathan made sites like Caesarea come alive with details others might miss." Stay at a kibbutz while you explore the Galilee and Golan Heights. Set aside a full day for the Golan's winding roads and amazing views. Visit Katzerin's ancient synagogues and the Mount Bental lookout. When in Safed, walk the artists' quarter but bring water and wear good shoes since summer temperatures often go above 90°F.
- Days 9-10
Final Days
Spend day 9 in Tiberias and Mount Meron. Check the Jewish calendar since tomb sites get crowded during religious festivals. End your trip in Tel Aviv for a modern Israeli experience. Book flights after 11AM to avoid morning traffic to the airport.
10 Days in Israel, incl. Jerusalem and Dead Sea
The ultimate 10-day luxury tour covers 11 Israeli cities, from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea. Three days in Jerusalem's Old City lead to Safed's Kabbalah sites, Caesarea's Roman ruins, and Dead Sea spas. Eight nights in 5-star hotels and one authentic Kibbutz stay included.
- Days 1-3
Jerusalem
Start your trip by landing at Ben Gurion Airport in the afternoon to avoid heavy Tel Aviv-Jerusalem traffic. Spend these days exploring the Old and New City with the Western Wall (Kotel) as your main focus. Visit Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum right when it opens at 9 AM before the crowds arrive. A tip for the Underground Jerusalem tour: wear sturdy closed shoes since the ancient stones can be slippery.
- Days 4-5
Galilee and Golan
Take a 2.5-hour drive north to see Beit Shan's Roman ruins and the Golan Heights. Pack a light jacket for Mount Bental even in summer. The observation point sits at 3,800 feet and gets quite windy. If you're staying at a kibbutz, ask for a room away from the dining hall. The breakfast prep starts early and might disturb light sleepers.
- Day 6
Mediterranean Coast
The coastal route from Caesarea to Acre spans 85 miles. Visit Caesarea's Roman theater in the morning for the best photos. Remember to dress modestly for the Baha'i Gardens in Haifa. At Rosh Hanikra, plan to arrive well before the last cable car at 4 PM in winter.
- Day 7
Spiritual Centers
Visit the spiritual sites of Tiberias, Safed, and Mount Meron. Note that Safed's artist quarter shops close early Friday for Shabbat. The holy graves have separate areas for men and women. Bring head coverings.
- Days 8-9
Masada and Dead Sea
Take the first cable car up Masada at 8 AM to avoid heat and crowds. Bring water shoes for the Dead Sea. The salt crystals on the beach can hurt your feet. You can get Dead Sea mud from beachfront hotels, but local shops offer better prices.
- Day 10
Departure
Book your flight after 12 PM. This gives you time for the 1-hour drive from Tel Aviv to the airport and the required 3-hour check-in for international flights.

What people love about 10 day Israel tours
- Jewish Israel Luxury Tour 10 days
We booked a 10-day Luxury Private tour of Israel. Overall, we enjoyed the trip, but there were some disappointments and several surprises that were not clear in the offering materials. The best part was that the guides were quite good. Our guide on the second day seemed to be willing to stay with us until 7 pm, but we had not energy for that. Perhaps he was paid by the hour! The connections to and from the airports were flawless. One flaw was that none of the guides offered us a map of the country or locations we were visiting. We had to get our bearings on our own. On the first three days, our guides (Gil and Eli) charged us for parking fees and entry fees. Thankfully, you have refunded these fees. We wonder if these two guides were reimbursed by the tour company as well as collecting from us. Our fourth guide (Sarah) paid for all fees. On the last day, Moti also paid for all fees. Our guide on the third day, Gil, skipped the visit to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Instead, he just summarized it verbally while driving past it on the highway. When we said that the visit was on our itinerary, he replied: “It’s optional.” Ha Ha! He evidently wanted to get home early that day, as he dropped us off at our hotel at the Dead Sea at about 2:30 pm. Thus, we did not get the full-day tour for which we paid. Gil had incorrect information about which was our hotel at the Dead Sea, but it was cleared up by phone calls just prior to our arrival. We did not understand that we would have no continuity of service from Bookings. Tour guides picked us up in the morning and returned us to our hotel at the end of the day. We did not have the names of our guides in advance, and were not provided with a telephone number to reach them. As a private tour we were to have some discretion over sites visited. Some guides understood this while others did not. The itinerary in the offering materials for the days in the Galilee made little sense, but our guide (Moti) was able to construct tours that worked. Our major complaint is that you promoted this as a luxury tour, yet there was little luxurious about it. Our Jerusalem and Dead Sea hotels were good. Our Tel Aviv hotel was less than good. Our 3-day kibbutz stay was not good. At the kibbutz, the room was not properly cleaned when we arrived. The TV was tiny and barely functional. We were nowhere near places to eat the evening meal and transportation to/from dinner was not easy. We tipped someone to drive us to and from dinner one night. However, the kibbutz breakfast was excellent. We think you owe us a partial refund for the three nights we spent at the kibbutz. In the evenings, we wanted to watch the French Open tennis at the hotels, but the hotel in Tel Aviv did not offer that channel. Also, at that hotel, I asked at the desk clerk if they could change a 100 NIS bill. The answer: “No.” Also, in that hotel, the thermostat was set to a temperature that was too cold for us, but it COULD NOT be changed. The hotel desk clerk advised with a smile: “You could turn it off.” Though the location was good, the breakfast at that hotel was plentiful but not the best. We added a day trip to Petra, expecting it to be of the same quality as the rest of our trip. Far from it! We traveled on 40-person buses and toured with the same large group. The walking tour was long, and we had to pay $50 for a return golf-cart ride.

Overall the trip was good and allows me to experience a wide range of what Israel and Jordan has to offer. In particular, our Masada, Ein Gedi and Dead Sea tour with Shimon was exceptionally good! He is one of the most responsible tour guide, always taking care of the group and making sure everything is running well. This explanation was really clear and we enjoyed his guide!

CTO tours gives you a great value. The tour was excellent and Juval the tour guide was just super. They really look out for you to make sure that you are comfortable. Since the tour is such a great value for the money, the only suggestion I would give others is to pay for the hotel upgrades for the portion of your trip in Tel Aviv and Elat. The rooms were old, kind of musty, the mattresses were bad and the furniture was old and very used. Its not a complaint because you do get so much for your dollar, so paying a bit more for your rooms would have made the trip even more enjoyable.
