Review of Israel By Foot Website
Founded by Erez Speizer, Israel By Foot is part information blog and part tour operator so the site feels more like a personal blog. Wise decision because the traveler who will most enjoy this company is the type of person who probably frequents hiking and travel blogs. There is SO much information on this site, enough to actually plan your own trip, which can make it overwhelming for those who don’t want to DIY. However, this information overload means they check off every detail on our wish list — accommodations, daily distances, elevation gains, photos, USD pricing, what’s included in trip packets and more!
The Multi-Day Treks is their inn to inn hiking page so that is what we focused on for this review. They cover 5 routes (ranging from 4-8 days), each of which includes detailed walking notes, photos, maps, testimonials and links to the lodging — LOVE this! Also of interest are their Road Trips which are 1-2 day itineraries with suggested hikes and sightseeing.
