We are looking into going to Israel mid-March 2012 and have looked at many tour companies....Gate 1 which seems to have had alot of discussion on this board, does not seem to have their affordable Israel Tour anymore. Then we looked into Smartours..they seem so reasonable for their 11 day Israeli tour and their itineray seems so great.. that it makes me a little nervous. Has anyone taken this tour? Or have first hand knowledge of anyone who has??Thanks so much!!
