Tal was an amazing guide! It was a fun day, a beautiful drive in the desert which will be forever etched in my memory. It was magnificent! Masada was amazing and Tal’s knowledge of ancient history was incredible. It was quite warm and my husband and I were so grateful that we had our own knowledgeable guide so we weren’t with lingering crowds taking more time than needed. One of the groups heard one of his explanations to us and the group leader asked Tal to repeat to his group. He’s an amazing historian ! The Dead Sea itself was incredible… the view unforgettable and Tal’s patience with us while we experienced floating in the Dead Sea was appreciated. We had an awesome lunch nearby beforehand with a variety of foods unlike our meals in the states! Spending the day with Tal was a blessing! Best day ever!
