Israel Explorer Tour

Welcome to your exploration of Israel! Upon your arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, you will board the train directly to Haifa and make your way through the blossoming landscape next to the ocean. Once in Haifa and checked into your hotel, depending on your arrival time you will have the opportunity to marvel at the Bahá’í Holy Garden surrounding the Temple of the Baháʼí Faith, a religion founded in the 19th century that strongly believes in the unity of all people of all religions. The view is amazing, and it is a perfect spot to enjoy the sunset. Once the sun has set, we recommend you take a bus ride along the coastline and the hills down to the German Colony with its many Israeli fusion kitchen restaurants.

Included: Train to Haifa, bus ride to the Bahai Gardens

Optional: Bahai Garden tour depending on your arrival

Many empires have left their traces in the old port city of Akko among them the Templars, Knights of St. John, Turks, Persians, and Romans. Today Akko is one of Israel´s most oriental and Muslim cities. That makes the train ride from Haifa to Akko a worthwhile exploration of the small alleys of the bazar and an authentic food tasting is waiting for you. You will have the choice to spend the afternoon in the old city of Akko or take the train back to Haifa so you can see more sights there. One example is the astonishing Mount of Carmel where a cable car leads you up the mountain

Included: Breakfast, train to Akko, admission tickets to five museums, Food Tasting Card

Optional: Cable car on the top of the Mount Carmel
