Our guide, Adina was excellent, very flexible, good at handling different personalities and unbelievably knowledgeable about Muslim history, Christian history and of course Israel's history

Hotels were lovely and well located.

The Itinerary was well thought out and aggressive but not rushed - plan on lots of walking (our Fitbit indicated that we walked over 50 miles - biggest day was about 8 miles) with hills and steps (our guide did a great job of accommodating a couple of people who had trouble with the distances including getting a taxi for them when required.

Everything was included except lunches and a few dinners, pretty much all inclusive - all tours advertised were included. All breakfasts and all other diners were included. Included meals were outstanding, breakfasts were over the top amazing with lots of fresh salads and fruit as well as eggs and breakfast breads. Included dinners were at quaint local restaurants and were delicious.

Safety was well handled. We never were in a situation where we had the least bit of concern for our safety. The US State Department page says Jerusalem is as safe (or safer) than any large US city and we felt that it was.

No negatives. We did hire a local guide (And I would recommend them - Sam Taxi - 054-7959743 ) to pick up a couple of sites that Gate 1 did not include : The Garden of Gethsemane , Jericho, Jesus' baptismal site and the Mount of Olives. I recommend picking those up (in fact I recommend that Gate 1 add them). Also we would like a more time for museums, but that of course is personal preference.

It was an amazing trip and we were very happy with the tour and with Gate 1

Larry Nebel

We are planning our next trip with them next year already.

Thank you both for your reports. It was interesting to read what happened on your tours, and I am sure it will be a help to other travellers.

Discover the Sacred Sites of Israel at Gate 1’s Value Pricing

' src=

There are as many reasons to visit Israel with Gate 1 Travel as there are historic and religious sites in this incredible nation. If you’ve traveled with us before, you know that our value is unmatched. This is especially true in Israel, where we’ve fostered longstanding relationships for many years.   No other company shows you the best of Israel for less.

Of course, the most convincing reason to visit Israel lies in the inspirational blend of culture, religion and history you’ll find here. Read on to learn more.

Jerusalem: The Soul of Israel

Perhaps no other city in the world boasts such a dense concentration of religious sites as Jerusalem. Many call this city the soul of Israel, and it’s easy to understand why. Powerful and moving emblems of faith appear on every corner of the Old City, as you’ll see in the Stations of the Cross that line the Via Dolorosa, or Way of Sorrows. Jesus is said to have walked this road while bearing His cross. This pilgrimage route – and our own walk – ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built on the site of His crucifixion. It’s a particularly moving visit – especially if you also pay homage at the place of His birth, Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity, and at the Church of the Annunciation in the city of His youth, Nazareth.

In the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount – crowned by the gilded Dome of the Rock – is said to shelter the Talmudic source of life, the site from where God gathered dust to create man. In Islamic faith, it is the location of Mohammed’s ascent to heaven. More than this, it is a symbol of unity, as Gabriel brought Mohammed here to pray with Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. The Western (or Wailing) Wall borders the temple – a pilgrimage site where the devout worship and insert prayerful slips of paper in the crannies between the mortar and rock. It is impossible to not be moved by the power of this place. We’ll examine it all as closely as religious law allows, then step outside the Old City for a breathtaking bird’s eye view from atop Mt. Zion – site of the ancient City of David.

Jerusalem’s new city is no less inspiring, as you might choose to discover for yourself. At the Israel Museum, art and archaeology from the country’s millennia of history are on display, none more remarkable than the fourth- and fifth-century Dead Sea Scrolls, housed under an impressive white dome. From inspiring to sobering, you may also visit Yad Vashem, Israel’s memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.

During your stay, you can join our excursion to test the Dead Sea’s buoyancy; its waters are 34% saline! Farther south, the towering massif of Masada tells the dramatic story of 960 Jewish rebels who committed suicide in AD 73 rather than surrender to the Roman Empire.

Tiberias: Gateway to the Jordan River Valley: The “Garden of God”

The River Jordan played a crucial part in Christian theology, the scene of miracles, battles, and baptisms. Most notably, John baptized Jesus in its waters at a site that we’ll visit. Today, the valley’s fertile history is on rich display and you can unravel it all, and so much more, during an enriching stay in Tiberias, hugging the Sea of Galilee’s shores. Nearby, Beit She’an a city dating to the 15 th -century BC, invites you to stroll through 5,000 years of history.

Thousands of years of Canaanite, Egyptian, Roman, Arab, Byzantine, and Ottoman history blanket the shores of the Sea of Galilee. There’ll be ample time to explore Tiberias on your own – perhaps sampling one of its soothing thermal springs. But we suspect you’ll want to set out to discover more of Israel’s wide variety of sites. In Upper Galilee, a mystical Kabbala artists’ colony welcomes you, and in the Golan Heights, you may sample special vintages at a kosher winery. Perhaps, too, you will visit the remarkably historic port city of Acre, or Akko, where echoes of knights and crusaders whisper in Ottoman-era medieval streets, and explore the ancient ruins of Capernaum and the fabled spot where Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, the Mount of Beatitudes.

Haifa & Tel Aviv: “Israel’s Riviera”

The Mediterranean Sea does not spring to everyone’s mind when they think of Israel. But some of the country’s most beautiful places grace its sun-kissed coast. The splendid terraced Baha’i Gardens offer magnificent views of Haifa. Mt. Carmel was the spot of Elijah’s sacrifice by fire by which he miraculously ended a drought. And in Caesarea, seat of Pontius Pilate and of impressive Roman and Crusader ruins, Herod the Great built a city to rival Rome. With the blue waters of the Mediterranean as their backdrop, these historic sites are all the more magnificent.

If Jerusalem is Israel’s soul, Tel Aviv is its beating heart. This young and vibrant city on the sea never sleeps, and offers a fun and fascinating glimpse into the country’s modern lifestyle. Whether you prefer an hour on the beach or an afternoon shopping at the Dizengoff Center, Tel Aviv never disappoints. By contrast, in the city’s southern districts, Jaffa is a wellspring of biblical and rabbinical history.

VENTURE BEYOND THE ESSENTIAL

As we’ve said, our 8 Day Essential Israel program offers Gate 1’s best value. But of course, there’s more to this magnificent country, from the stark beauty of its deserts and rich kibbutz culture to the staggering sites of its neighbor, Jordan. On these inspiring journeys, too, Gate 1’s value can’t be matched.

Take the Road to the Red Sea

In the south of Israel, the Negev stretches to the Red Sea. The desert makes for a mesmerizing drive through arid plains, but it’s not all barren land. At Kibbutz Sde Boker, the first prime minister of Israel, David Ben-Gurion, retired and passed away. We’ll stop to pay respects at his grave. Farther south, the small town of Mitzpe Ramon sits on the northern ridge of the Ramon Crater. This once-forgotten enclave, built as a camp for the workers who laid the road to the Red Sea, is coming into its own as an eco-tourist destination.

The sea resort town of Eilat is a geographic crossroads; Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are all visible from this northern tip of the Red Sea. Our days here are unregimented, with lots of time to swim or snorkel. And there’s plenty more to explore from here: join optional tours to the magnificent ancient city of Petra or to the Timna Valley, home to incredible rock formations carved by desert wind and the once-active copper mines known as King Solomon’s Mines.

While You’re Here, Marvel at Jordan’s Wonders

Throughout our Israel trips, Jordan is always right across the border. So it only makes sense to select an itinerary that also explores this welcoming and remarkable country. Its gleaming capital Amman, called the “white city” for the stone used to build its houses, is rich in culture and tradition. Outside Amman, Jerash – the “Pompeii of the East” – provides incredible insight into the lives of the Romans in one of their more remote outposts. And on the summit of Mt. Nebo, you’ll not only have views of the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea; you’ll also see the reputed burial site of Moses. But perhaps Jordan’s most magnificent gem is Petra, the red sandstone city carved into rocky cliff faces.

Essential Israel Is a Must for Travelers Yearning to Unravel the Nation’s Mysteries

No matter how you choose to visit Israel with Gate 1, you’ll discover that this small country holds countless surprises. Remember – our 8 Day Essential Israel itinerary provides our very best value. Plus, we offer numerous other comprehensive tours packed with sightseeing. One thing is certain: whether this is your first visit or your fifth, we’ll show it all to you at a price that beats any other tour operator. Join us!

Hi there fellow travelers! Planning again!

We are not big fans of tours but we feel this is an area of the world we should go on one. We just returned from Asia and it was toured- exhausting but the only way to go- especially as we are getting older.

We want to see Israel and Jordan - Petra and be gone about 2 weeks.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi, it would be really great if you would provide links to the exact 3 tours you're looking at. Then we know we are evaluating the correct thing. It also helps to know something about you. Age, religion, area of interest.

Thank you! We are retired Reformed Jews; 65 and 71. Below please find the links. We are interested in seeing as much as we can, with free time to explore ,mingle amongst the locals, cafes ,etc. without doing the work! We have always done our own thing ,up until Asia . But now we want the structure and info that enriches the experience. I am interested in the reputations and delivery of these three companies more then the individual tour- they all have Israel's high points and Petra.

gate 1 discovery tours israel

Pertafromisrael.com the Petra-Wadi-Rum highlights-Jordan-tour from Jersualem

1. Christian pilgrimages

2. Jewish heritage tours

3. "Generic" tours with a secular orientation

You need to first decide whether you are interested in option #2 or option #3 above. Only then can you make an informed decision regarding the tour itinerary and provider.

Exactly. The company is NOT what's important. What's important is the itinerary. Overseas companies use a handful of local Israeli tour operators - and all are reputable. What makes the difference is the itinerary, the choice of hotels offered, the inclusions versus "optional" excursions, as well as which meals are included and which are not.

Are there places to eat on the beach? Can food be goten at the airport even at very late hours (midnight)? Our plane leaves at 5:20 AM.

<<Can food be goten at the airport even at very late hours (midnight)? Our plane leaves at 5:20 AM.>>

More flights leave Ben-Gurion ( Tel Aviv ) airport between 3 and 6 a.m. than at any other time, and you'll be amazed how busy the airport is then. Restaurants are open, and while you might not be able to get a full meal (if you'd want one at that hour!) you will certainly be able to find snacks, coffee, etc.

Editoral Review of Discovery Tours by Gate 1

A section of Gate 1 tours, Discovery Tours provides immersive cultural experiences for budget minded travelers.

What Makes Discovery Tours Gate 1 Stand Out?

Discovery tours Gate 1 video

They are dedicated to keeping their travel groups small (max 22) in order to provide a culturally rich experience that everyone on the tour can enjoy to the fullest. They stress the intimate and immersive nature of their itineraries which visit unique destinations around the globe.

Their focus on small groups allows them to offer interesting and off the beaten path activities and accommodations, as well as a high level of personalized attention from the guides.

Who Will Enjoy Traveling with Discovery Tours Gate 1?

Groups are international, typically attended by the 35-50+ age range. This is quintessential small group travel. You’ll have a dedicated professional guide - often a local - and an expert in the country.

If you enjoy a well rounded tour that focuses just as much on meeting locals and visiting off the beaten path spots as on the tourist highlights, then a Discovery Gate 1 tour would suit you nicely.

The balance of sightseeing to more unique experiences means their a great option for first time travelers or a repeat visit to a country you want to see again.

Tours are budget conscious - many activities are included with some optional excursions available for an extra fee allowing you to somewhat cater your own experience.

Top Destinations

Discovery Tours travel to multiple countries around the world in the Americas, Europe, Asia & the South Pacific, the Mediterranean, and Africa.

Discovery Tours Gate 1 Travel Style

Gate 1’s Discovery Tours brand, combines the budget mindfulness of Gate 1 with the exclusivity of their Signature Collection to provide an immersive, culturally rich small group travel experience.

Group size is no larger than 22, and typically the average is more like 12-15 people. This allows for much more intimate and unique experiences when it comes to meals, accommodations, and activities.

It also means there is more room for spontaneity, such as stopping the bus to hop out and enjoy a local market before continuing on to your next destination.

Many activities and excursions are already included in the itinerary, which is relatively unusual for these more budget minded travel options. That said, not all excursions are included - which gives you the flexibility to pick and choose how you’d like to spend your time.

A lot of activities during the tour are designed to be hands on, providing a real glimpse into the culture. Ample free time is provided as well, where you can spend some time exploring on your own.

While you will hit the major sites, the balance is definitely more heavily weighted on off the beaten path experiences - meeting locals and enjoying a more authentic view of the destination.

Why Choose a Tour with Discovery Tours Gate 1?

This is a group tour experience for people who have an adventurous spirit but are looking for a nice balance of being taken care of and independence. Each trip offers a number of optional sightseeing tours for purchase, to further provide context to your destination.

Or you can choose to explore on your own. If a small group tour experience almost anywhere in the world is what you’re looking for, give their extensive list of itineraries a browse.
