Itinerary Sample
We have literally toured thousands of people all across Israel! Every trip is different, because we believe you deserve to be in control of what you see and do.
While that’s true, most people still ask us for suggestions. So I asked my Travel Consultants to put together a DREAM Sample Itinerary, a highlight reel of how to experience Israel.
Here is a Sample Itinerary to help you imagine what your tour could be like:
Day 1: Arrival
Arrive at Ben Gurion International Airport where a luxury vehicle will bring you to your hotel. The rest of the day is leisure time.
Day 2: Tel Aviv & Jaffa
Visit Old Jaffa’s famous flea market, and historic port. Then it’s onto Independence Hall, the Tel Aviv Innovation Center to learn why Israel is called “The Startup Nation”. Slow down in Shuk haCarmel’s open air market and end the day at the Ayalon Institute learning how the Israeli Defense Forces started.
Day 3: The Coast of Israel
Experience Caesarea, a 2,000 year-old Roman city. Ascend Mt. Carmel for a breathtaking view of Haifa Bay and the stunning Bahai Gardens. Finish the day in The Old City of Acre and rappel down the beautifully colored cliffs.
Day 4: Golan Heights Tour
Enjoy breakfast overlooking The Sea of Galilee, followed by a tour of Golan Heights. Gain a better understanding of Syria’s geopolitical situation while off roading in a Jeep. The kids will head to the De Karina Chocolate Factory while you enjoy a wine-tasting in a local winery.
Day 5: Hot Air Balloon & Jerusalem!
Picnic breakfast in Jeezael Valley before soaring in a Hot Air Balloon Ride! Visit the Mystical City of Tzfat, one of the Four Holy Cities before a drive to Jerusalem with a drink reception at the Mt. of Olives.
Day 6: The Game
A “Secret Agent” gives you a dossier detailing your secret mission. Over the next 2 hours, you’ll follow a map through Jerusalem as perfectly camouflaged actors walk the streets beside you trying to either aid or thwart your success. You must work together, solve riddles, and think outside the box to accomplish this FUN, MYSTERIOUS, and VERY AMUSING game.
After lunch, you will be deeply moved visiting the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Vad Vashem. You’ll discover why the Israeli Defense Force is called the “most moral army” in the world, as you train with IDF Special Forces in an actual shooting adventure!
End the day with the Herzl Vision Experience; an interactive tour of Herzl’s Dream teaching you about the history of Zionism.
Day 7: Camel Ride & Dead Sea
A short camel ride in the Judean Desert will prepare you to relax with Abraham and his family in their tent for some traditional Hebrew Hospitality. A scenic drive surrounded by the Dead Sea and the Judean Mountains will bring you to the Oasis in the Desert (a place mentioned by David several times in the Book of Psalms).
Then off to Masada to learn why this ancient hilltop fortress is such an important symbol for Israel today. Then it’s time to swim on the shore of the Dead Sea, rejuvenated by the mineral rich waters, and/or a private spa treatment.
Day 8: Bar Mitzvah Day
Get professional family photos at the Western Wall – the most religious site in the world for the Jewish people. Celebrate your child’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah at the Robinson Arch, followed by a special presentation of The Soldier at The Wall.
The Bar/Bat Mitzvah Lunch is followed by downtime or a scavenger hunt finding ancient artifacts and sites throughout Jerusalem. It’s not only fun, but walks you through the incredible story of the Jewish people through the ages.
Day 9: Leisure
Some quiet, unstructured time for you to relax with your family while reflect on your tour.
Day 10: Return Home
Depart for the Ben Gurion Airport for the flight home. You’ll be closer than ever to your family, because of the memories that you created and experienced together.

MoreJust back from 10 days in Israel on a trip organized by Shin Tours. We were 5 couples, most have never been to Israel. The trip was amazing and beyond all expectations. Our guide Avi was delightful and extremely knowledgeable on everything from politics to history to religion. Shin organized great hotels, fun and interesting activities and kept everything moving smoothly. Mireille in the office was responsive and helped organize: a perfect itinerary. 10 out of 10!

MoreI heard about Shin Tours from a friend who had used them and after speaking with two other companies I was so relieved to connect with Mireille. I told her what I had in mind for our trip and she made some fantastic suggestions and made our trip to Israel from a dream to a reality. Our highlight of the trip, besides Jacky our amazing tour guide, was the jeep tour around Metula, the northern most point of Israel. Not recommended for young children, our amazing guide shared what it is like to live next to Lebanon. We visited a tank outpost at the ready to defend our borders. Wow! Words cannot describe our feelings after meeting these men. Thank you thank you!

MoreWe have been on tours in other countries and have always had impressive guides but Amir made this tour special. We hit it off right away and our styles/personalities were in perfect alignment. I credit Adam Saville from Shin Tours for that. Adam also did a great job creating our itinerary. We had only three days and wanted to pack a lot in. Adam preferred to call us instead of email which impressed me. He really wanted to get to know us and find out what was most important to usA few days later he emailed an agenda to us. He also modified that agenda to meet our preferences and budget as needed. The day before we met Amir he texted us to make sure we arrived and to provide his contact information. He offered tips for the first day and was right on time. When we met Amir we were very up front with and told him we like to ask many questions and wanted to know if these tours included "factory" walk throughs where you "exit through the gift shop". Shin Tours (at least ours) did not include these "tours". We spent three jam packed days with Amir and he prepared us for each day and guided us though Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, Masada, and more as if he was the mayor. He knew people everywhere and his tips and insight allowed us to enjoy our time in Israel without stress or worry. Some people might want a guide who will take them to places, point out interesting facts, and move to the next site. Not us. While Amir was a walking Wikipedia of knowledge, we also had philosophical conversations and shared life experiences. Amir loves Israel and loves to learn about people. He is one of those people you are lucky enough to get to meet in your lifetime. Thank you Shin Tours. Your attention to detail and your ability to connect people with the perfect guide made our experience unforgettable.
