Accessibility Accomodations
Learn about accessibility options, transportation accommodations, mobility considerations, and how to request assistance for Jerusalem, Dead Sea, and Northern Israel tours.
At Best Jerusalem Tours, we are committed to making our tours as accessible as reasonably possible while recognizing the unique challenges presented by many historical, archaeological, religious, and natural sites throughout Israel.
Due to the age, terrain, infrastructure, and preservation requirements of many destinations, accessibility conditions vary significantly by location and tour route. We encourage guests requiring accessibility accommodations to contact us in advance so we can discuss available options and determine the most suitable experience.
Requesting Accessibility Accommodations
Guests requiring accessibility accommodations should contact us before booking by email or phone with as much information as possible regarding their needs.
Accessibility requests should preferably be submitted at least 5 business days before the tour date. Some requests involving transportation, mobility equipment, or special arrangements may require additional notice.
Please note that accommodation requests are subject to availability and operational limitations.
