Hi everybody! Thanks again ahead of time as you all helped me track down my extended family last time!
I'm finally taking my family to come visit Israel for the first time (I've been twice on organized trips) and had a few questions.
1. Is public transport pretty reliable around the country or should we rent a car? If so, how do car rentals work in Israel and what prices do they usually run with insurance per day and/or kilometer?
2. None of us speak hebrew unfortunately, so where are the most English friendly places (given most people speak it anyways, we just want to be polite).
3. Best place to get a cell phone near the airport?
4. Any good places to places or resources to hire a private tour guide for the day and what does that usually run?
5. Best places I have to take them? I have the usual Haifa, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Ben Yahuda St, etc. Locals spots are even better.
