Me and my husband are going to Israel in June for 10 days, and I would like to be in a small tour group as it will be our first time there. Any suggestions of Tour companies?
Thank you in advance

AFAIK there are only large bus tours. There are walking tours in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Abraham Hostel in Jerusalem also has day tours. There are private guides - expensive, of course.

Two well known tour companies in Israel that offer 1,2 and multi day tours are Rent-A-Guide and Bein Harim.
I took two one day tours with Rent-A-Guide and was pleased. One tour was in a mini-coach (about 15 people) and the other was in a van (9 people.)
When I go back, I may take a multi-day tour with Rent-a-Guide.
One note of warning....it is very hot in Israel in June. I was there last June at the temp at Masada was 102 F. Jerusalem was in the 90's. Pack appropriately and bring a hat.

The company I used for Egypt in January (Egypt and Beyond Travel) actually, given the limited tourists to Egypt, does most of their business in Israel these days. We had a private tour of Egypt for a very reasonable price. Their prices are not on their website but they're very responsive by email. The company was excellent to work with - we had great guides!!!! http://www.egyptandbeyondtravel.com/index.php?page=itinerary&template=true&pkg=21
