Boaz was an amazing guide... - Boaz was an amazing guide to the Ramon Crater. He was so knowledgeable and shared everything in a fun and interesting way so that the kids were also very engaged. Rinat was awesome in setting up and guiding us through the rappelling. Highly recommend!

Great experience! - We could not give this a better review. We loved the jeep tour and then rappelling. Both guides were so knowledgeable and patient and kind and we could not give them enough praise. We would absolutely recommend them to everyone!

Rappelling and Exploring the Ramon Crater - We were introduced to Adam Sela while staying at the Beresheet Hotel in Mizpe Ramon in February 2022. We did a combination of rappelling down the Machtesh Ramon and then a guided jeep tour through the crater. We felt very safe and secure while rappelling and it was a fun activity. Then Adam brought us into the crater in his jeep. We have a new appreciation for the rare geologic feature that is known as a machtesh, there are only seven in the world, as well as for the sheer beauty of the Negev Desert and its flora and fauna. Adam was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed spending the afternoon with him. He would be a good guide to call if you are spending some time in the south.

Amazing, Must Do, Best Private Guided Tour in Israel! - My wife and I were fortunate enough to have Nadev as our private tour guide. As Adam Sela's company is a family run business for many years, they really focus on delivering the highest quality of service with complete customer satisfaction. It actually did not feel like a rehearsed or orchestrated tour. It felt as if we were connecting with local experts on the ground, and having a conversation with a dear friend. Nadev used such a scholarly, intelligent, and thorough approach to everything he did we gained so much in such a short period of time. The day flew by, we got great photos, and most importantly memories that will last a lifetime. He is a consummate professional, subject matter expert, combat medic so you feel automatically safe traveling with him in case of emergencies driving around in the desert of course there were none, and does great terrain models with the desert sand to explain to you about erosion and how Ramon Crater came to be.
If you go to Ramon Crater - we 100% recommend that you go with Adam Sela's company, and ask for Nadev as your private guide! We give Adam Sela's company 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

The guides are some of the best I have had. Our family trip included my parents and my sister, all of us age ranges from 7-62. This was almost everyones favorite day of our Israel trip!!! We will spend more time in Mitzpe next time we come to Israel.
