Worth a try but I do have my doubts. Better to try and fail than not to try Faint heart never won fair lady! You might hit pay dirt if your request reaches somebody who speaks good English and that might be the problem. My suggestion is try but not be aggressive.Infact if you tell them how much you enjoyed your visit and how the site had been developed and then that you wanted a momento from the trip and were so so disappointed when you found the disc defective. That might do it. Best of luck!

There are buses from Nazareth, Afula and Haifa. For example line #302 by Superbus from Haifa Lev HaMifratz CBS.

From Tel Aviv Megiddo is about a two hour drive. Yes, you could stop at Caesarea by the Sea (Maritima) along the way. Maritima is an excellent site that takes you back to the first century and the amazing architecture of Herod the Great. You can also go to Mt. Carmel before or after you go to Megiddo. All three of these sites are "must see" in my opinion. Akko just north of Haifa is also an interesting site, especially if you stay overnight in Haifa.

28 shekel for adult and 14 for child. See it on their web site parks org il

A visit would take up to 90 minutes. Cost: 28 NIS (about $8) Hours on a Monday: 8-5 in summer, 8-4 winter. Last admission is an hour before closing time/ Note: the water tunnel (the highlight of the visit) closes 30 minutes before closing time

Yes it is open.

Megiddo is easily accessable from both Tel Aviv and Haifa. There is no problem whatsoever to visit it alone, if you go to the museam first, and get a right impression what you are going to sea further. This done, you may enjoy your visit!

No guides, but many people come here as part of a group tour. Perhaps contact one of the Tour companies to see if you can tag along.

Yes, there is a good restaurant at Megiddo, and they have an excellent selection of food, especially shwarmas and falafels.
