Loved the Dead Sea! Frank was very informative and fun! Learned a lot about Masada and Israel. I would only say that the stop to the Dead Sea Cosmetics place was a waste of time. They have the same products at the other gift shops. Would have preferred more time at Dead Sea or Masada.

I booked this tour because it was supposed to be a small group. Two days before the tour company contacted me to tell me my booked tour couldn't be a small group and I had 2 options: go with a big bus or postpone a day to go on the small bus. I postponed for a day, but then the next day, same thing, no small group tour!
Disappointed we went. But now we seemed to be added to a group that was mainly Spanish speaking and the tour guide gave Spanish preference, and English was secondary. For most of the tour the English version was slighted until a few of us complained. By then it was too late.
