What changes the price
The format. A walking day suits places you cover on foot, such as the Old City of Jerusalem or central Tel Aviv. Once the day includes longer distances, for example a Masada day trip from Jerusalem, the Dead Sea or the Galilee, you need a vehicle, and the price starts from $850 per day for the group.
The group size. The prices are per group of up to 6 people, and Sasha drives himself. For groups of more than 6 people the price is arranged individually, so tell Sasha how many travelers you are when you ask for a price.
The vehicle. A Kia Carnival 2026 or a Hyundai Staria is available at no extra charge. A Mercedes V-Class adds $250 per day.
The program. Multi-day trips and custom routes are planned around your interests and dates. See private tours built around your interests for the formats Sasha offers.
What the price includes, and what it does not
- Included on vehicle tours: the vehicle, fuel, parking and tolls.
- Not included: entrance tickets, meals and transfers outside the program.
Always ask a guide to list these items before you pay. A low daily rate can hide fuel, parking or driver costs that appear later. The checklist for choosing a private tour guide in Israel shows the other questions worth asking.
