  It is quick and easy, not a lot to learn unless you ask the questions… However it is something to still do; especially if you’re not able to stay in a building that is tall enough for you to see across the city from the north to the south and along the water! The park that it is in is a beautiful park with paddle boats in the center, bike and running path all around...really enjoyed that walk to and through it!

  David Ringler is an awesome guide. With a group of 7 friends, we needed to leave a little later, no issue. The program was very fluid, adjusting to our needs. He is very upbeat and knowledgeable, speaks 7 languages and is very sociable. Even though no food/beverages were included, he bought water, beer, shisha... He will make sure the car is cool when you get back. He will get you to the quiet beach at the Dead Sea. Make sure to carve ample of time out, his stories might take a little longer than you've planned time for! :-)
