Also her mouth breath was so bad that it was suffocating to sit near her.”

“Our tour guide Ziv was magnificent! His humor and wealth of knowledge made the tour a great experience. There is a lunch break given at the end of the Masada tour where only the only option to buy food is the Masada restaurant which is very pricey for the cafeteria type of food in my opinion. I would’ve preferred for the break to be given where you can find different options to choose from.”
