In summary, Leiah is an excellent tour guide. The shore excursion tour we took entails over four hours of driving time, however Leiah made to time go by quickly as she talked about life in Israel. Having moved to Israel from the US over 30 years ago, she has the unique perspective of seeing how the country has evolved and what it’s like to raise a family there. As for the tour itself, floating in the Dead Sea is a fun experience and visiting Masada and learning about its history was very interesting.
