Any tour guide recommendations for Israel?

Hello fellow travelers,
We are contemplating going to Israel later this year and are wondering whether there are any recommended tour operators you have hired in the recent past?
I appreciate your recommendations.

I'm not sure if you are asking about tour operators for day trips or for comprehensive multi-day tour operators. I used the tour company "Bein Harim" for three separate day trips from Tel Aviv when I visited about 4 1/2 years ago. The tour guides were pretty good but on all three day trips, there were a couple of shopping stops that we had to endure, which I didn't like. Hopefully others will be able to give you more recent information than what I have. Enjoy your trip! I am hoping to go back in a year or two.

My company has a couple of offices in Israel and there is a guide that they recommend for our folks who travel there. I had a trip planned with him in 2020 that - alas - I didn't get to take. He gets rave reviews from everyone.

Thank you for the suggestions, I appreciate that! After a little research and help from various guidebooks, I think I found my desired trip. We're looking at a Nile river cruise with a post-cruise extension to Jerusalem for a few nights. It's just an hour's flight from Cairo and all the details will be handled for me. After Covid, we are ramping up our travel (while we're young!).

Hey, Greenville, hello from Fort Mill. Love the Peace Center, btw. Great concerts there. Maybe later this year or next.... meanwhile, we're off to Andalucia in May and Tuscany in Sept. How about you?
