Private tour guide in Israel
by Yariv Hen
There are 3 ways in which you
can travel Israel: by your own, with a group or with a private tour. This
article explains why preferring private tour on the other tour options
that mentioned above.
Indeed Israel is a modern
country with western culture, a country in which getting along should not
be too hard. All signs written both in Hebrew and English, most people
you will meet will speak Basic English and yet, here are 11 reasons for
preferring a private tour guide when you are in Israel.
| Flexibility
- You
needs an itinerary that will fit your needs. The only way you can have
this is with a private tour. When you are tired you can stop and rest,
if you want to change the plan, you can do it instantly. You have the final
word.
Transportation - on
private tours, the guide drives the car. He knows the shortcuts, where
to park the car, how to handle other Israeli drivers, and he comes with
a comfortable car. Israeli drivers are patient less, driving a rent car
on roads that you do not familiar with, can lead to an unpleasant conflicts
with the typical Israeli driver. On Private tours you have a driver guide
that will handle that easily. Other driving issue relevant to Israel is:
knowing where you are not allowed to drive for military reasons or for
security reasons. Not that it's dangerous! But avoiding incontinency is
always better. |

be answered. Only on Private tour you can ask as many questions as you
like. The guide will give all his/her attention just to you and to your
questions. There are no other people that will compete on guide's attention.
Hearing the guide -
Private tour is the only way that you can assure that you won't miss any
information. On private tours the guide will wait for you and walk with
you on you own pace. The guide will start explaining only on your convenient

time. From our experience the tour guide turns into a family member right
from the beginning.
