My Turn with tour guide Alon
Most of my review is with regard to our more than amazing tour guide. He was simply the best. He made the trip what it was.
His enthusiasm was contagious. His breadth of knowledge and history was quite remarkable. I think what impressed me the most however, was his unfaltering kindness and caring. It was appreciated by all of us. Sometimes I could not understand how he could be excited talking about the same thing over and over. And it didn’t matter if there were 13 of us or 2. He always put in the same effort. He is an unusual person and guide. I felt the love he felt for his country and appreciated his willingness to share political opinions. I loved his humor. I truly hope our paths cross again. The tour itinerary was wonderful for a first time traveler to Israel. The protests and current events added much interest. I never felt unsafe. My only complaint if any, was the camel ride. I looked forward to it, but in the end the camels just seemed sad to me and took away from the experience. Overall an A plus.
