I've just booked our tours with Thomson. Guided tours informed me that at present they only have 4 people but that people often leave booking their shore excursions until last minute. I didn't want to risk waiting any longer or mess around booking on the cruise so have withdrawn from guided tours which I guess leaves just 2 people. I do hope that this does not affect anyone reading this thread

We've not had a confirmation from guided tours as yet. The reviews that I've read about the Thomson Shore excursions comment on how over priced they are. We're not sure what currency to take given that we are travelling out of the euro zone. Any ideas most welcome

My husband and I have booked this cruise departing on the 22nd June 2015 We have looked into doing some shore excursions when we dock in Ashdod (Jerusalem and Bethlehem Shore excursion) and Haifa (Biblical Galilee - full day christian focussed shore excursion) After looking at a number of reviews our preferred tour operator is Guided Tours Israel and if anyone else is interested in joining our small group excursion here is the link to check it out www.GuidedToursIsrael.com We are looking forward to this cruise so much:)
