The Wonders of Ancient Israel

5 out of 5 stars

7th-time traveler Alice, traveled in Sep 2023

This trip was very educational and well organized. Though we were a large group of 32+1(tour guide) we all got along very well. Though we had very hot weather for the most part it was well worth the trip and experience. I would recommend it.

1st-time traveler Mary Anna, traveled in Jun 2023

For the Israel part of the trip - I am sure the tour was designed to include as much of the treasured locations as possible but I felt very rushed, not given enough time to bask in meaningful reflection. For the Jordan extension - I enjoyed everything but was struck by how...

3rd-time traveler Randall, traveled in Jun 2023

This was a great tour, as I've come to expect from Go Ahead. Our tour guide, Farah, was an amazing fount of knowledge. Other than a few members of our group having issues getting themselves and their luggage to Israel, everything went off without a hitch once we were there. The...
