Used them. Great experience, was there in 10 minutes and charged 200

Just reached out to him - He wants 350 shekel for a van. Is that the going rate?

[Yoko]

He has a group of drivers and is probably the cheapest you can find 055-287-5777

How much does he charge for a van?

[thnkngboutu2002]

200 shekel an hour

Lots of towns from first beit hamidash period in Adulam and nearby, worth getting a guide.

Need to know for tomorrow am...Anyone know if walking from Tzomet Yericho into Mitzpeh Yericho itself is safe? Trying to take a bus from Yerushalayim to jeeping place.
Also want to know if anyone has used Artzeinu tours recently. Don't see much recent feedback online-are they still in business?

Anywhere to rent a Tesla for a day in Israel for not too expensive?

But I do remember the tour guide who we went with was Aharon Tzvi Saks, who lives in Meah Shearim and had a 12 or 15 seat van. He took us all over eretz yisroel, in a marathon trip, from neitz by the Kosel till very late at night.
This is the contact I have for him, I hope it's still accurate: 025eight22257 and American # 91seven, 4seven4, 8one60

Dan, We are all waiting for the trip notes from your trip!

[mgarfin]

New cable car in Chaifa.
from outside Merkazit Hamifratz train station to Haifa University.
19 minutes each way, rise of 460 meters = 1509.19 feet.
gorgeous views of Haifa Bay and surrounding areas.
part of the municipal transport network so price = 5.90 (or included in your day or week pass!)

theres a gondola every 15 seconds. seats for eight plus standing, they let each group take their own gondola. enough room for a double stroller (if you need you can raise the benches)

There's a 30 story building at the top with a free observation deck. though closed through the end of june for reno
Also right there Hecht Museum- archeology+art also free. (though obviously not geared for children, my two year old enjoyed)

on the whole, recommended.

Here now magnificent views observation deck on 30th floor of building is opened. The university is off session so the place is deserted
