Private Excursion VS Shared Tour:
As we said most tours from Haifa port will visit the same sites, and you can expect some sites to be very busy since many groups will visit the same sites at the same time.
With a private tour the guide can change the program to avoid the crowd and also suggest some alternatives and attractions along the way, and also to avoid all the busy restaurants.
The Price for a Shared tour is ~us$120-150 while the starting price for a private tour is us$830, so if your party is 6 people, you actually will pay less, but will get a VIP tour.
Post Covid travel – after the Covid outbreak, we find the Private tour as a better alternative to visit the Holy Land.
