Israel tour
★★★★★
“ We had an excellent experience with Compass Travel Israel. Everything was seamless from airport pickup to hotel transfers and touring. Enrique was an incredible guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke multiple languages fluently. Benjamin was also wonderful to work with—professional and very helpful. We felt safe, well taken care of, and truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend.”

Wonderful day with Avi
★★★★★
“ Avi was absolutely wonderful!! We had such a great day with him visiting Masada, Ein Gedi, and the Dead Sea. He was kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, and he made the whole experience feel easy, interesting, and fun. He adapted perfectly to our family and kept our two kids engaged, even in the heat. He always knew where to stop, where to find shade, and how to share the history in a way that was fascinating but never too heavy. His car was also very comfortable, which made the long drive to and from Tel Aviv so much easier. It was a long, hot day, but it went by so fast because we were having such a good time. We would absolutely book Avi again and are already looking forward to more adventures with him!”
- Kelly L

Amazing experience!
★★★★★
“ I had an amazing experience at the Dead Sea and Masada tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Enrique. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history throughout the entire trip you could tell he genuinely loves what he does and knows the subject inside and out. Enrique was extremely kind, welcoming, and friendly from start to finish. He made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of, and his hospitality really stood out. The whole experience felt organized, fun, and personal because of him. If you’re thinking about doing a Dead Sea and Masada tour, I highly recommend it and if you get Enrique as your guide, you’re in great hands.”
- Leor Amar

A Meaningful and Well‑Guided

The guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and provided throughout the journey valuable historical and cultural context. Their explanations added depth to every place we visited. A heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Eyal, Mr. Avi, and Mr. George for making the tour both educational and memorable. It was an experience we will never forget, and Impactful”
- Norman Tagle

Petra with Wadi Rum
★★★★★
“ Wife and I visited Petra with overnight at Wadi Rum Bedouin camp in Jordan. We have been discussing this trip for 10 years and it did not disappoint. Both sites are incredible, tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable, accommodations are excellent and food is delicious. Flight to/from Tel Aviv and crossing to/from Eilat to Aqaba were not complicated. If you want to see these wonders of the world, don’t hesitate - you will not be disappointed.”
