Pack light. Israel is very casual. Even if you are going to attend a wedding, no need for a suite, or even tie. Furthermore, If you are coming in June to August, no need for any jackets. You will find a hat, sunblock and sunglasses to be the real essentials. But do have a pair of long pants handy, for visiting holy places. 
Of course shoes that are comfortable for day of walking.

It’s a private tour! We meet wherever you want; Hotel, airport or wherever you desire. 

Certainly yes! While years in the business of private and luxury tours, I’ve developed a personal connection with top hotels in Israel. This allows me to offer you lower rates than usual. I’ll also suit the best option for the groups’ needs and budget, and inform you of all the ups and downs of every hotel. 

A small amount of local cash ($20 per person, per day or so) is always good (for tips in restaurants.. snacks..), but you can easily change on the first day of your arrival.

In tourism it is customary to tip, in cash, all service providers, and Israel is no exception. 10-15% is the norm in restaurants.

Definitely! As with traveling anywhere, you are responsible for your own well-being, as well as your personal belongings. Such insurance is highly suggested.
