Should women travel in Israel on their own? Is it dangerous?

In my 15 years of touring I have only been accosted once and that was by an ultra orthodox shopkeeper who was mad that I was rushing the tourists out of his store to get to the next stop! Anyone traveling alone should be extra careful. Hitchhiking, while once very common in Israel can be dangerous today and should be avoided. Tour some neighborhoods alone as a women, IF NOT DRESSED MODESTLY can be dangerous in religious Jewish and Muslim areas. Our private tour guides check with the police each day to make sure that all is well in the areas that we will be visiting that day and 99.99% of the time they are just fine. Your guide will tell you where to go and what to do during the day and at night to stay safe and he or she will always accompany you whenever asked anywhere you would like to go as long as the guide feels its safe.

How long are your tours and what is the price range?

Good question. I can give you a ballpark price once I know how many people are travelling, when you will be travelling, which guide would you prefer and an idea of what you are interested in seeing.

The main reason that the rates aren't posted on my site is that the final price depends on many factors, such as 

• How many people will be touring?
• What size and style of vehicle will you need?
• Will this vehicle need a driver as well as a guide?
• Do you want a specific guide (their chargers vary)?
• Depending on the guide and final itinerary, the guide might need overnight stays which do cost extra.
• Will you be traveling to Jordan and Egypt as well? The rates are different outside of Israel.
• Will you be booking your own hotels or would you like for us to do that for you?
• What level of hotel would you prefer?
• Do you require airport assistance and transfers?
• Any other special requests?

Once we have answered the questions above I can give you a solid quote. The length of time for your tour, which is a private tour, is totally up to you. It may be anywhere from one full day of touring (11 hours maximum per day) to one full month. It's up to you.
