Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. Would send friends their way.

Southern Israel in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Good value for what's included.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Would book with them again.
