&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am planning to visit Israel in August for up to three weeks. I am travelling alone and whilst I realise I will need to book tours&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;for certain day trips,am I naive in thinking I can travel throughout Israel without being involved with a tour group for the duration?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would you recommend a lone traveller plan their trip through an operator or is it perfectly viable/safe to do your own thing?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Many kind thanks for any responses.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
