Great guides good experience

AmineKefi, Oct 2023

Great day spent with both Johnny and Saint George the best two guides ever. The History, the flair and the people, all is sth to experience at least once in a lifetime Totally recommend it

A beautiful experience

Jonathan_T, Oct 2023

A very good good tour. Monday was a slow day, so not a lot of people. Tour guys were really informative. Importante to bring cash for Jericho entrances. I recommend.

Worth your time and money!

Karla_F, Jun 2023

We REALLY enjoyed this opportunity to safely see some of the renowned sites within the West Bank. Bethlehem was an absolute highlight! As was our first guide, Elias. He was wonderfully informative and engaging... but best of all, he was HILARIOUS. He could be a stand-up comedian, I kid you not. His comedic timing was impeccable and that helped to keep our daughters -- ages 11 and 13 -- absolutely enthralled with his recounting of historic, religious history. The afternoon at the Jordan River and Jericho were also good, as was the guide.. But it's the morning session that convinced us this was an excellent investment. The ONLY disappointment: This tour suggested a brief stop at (or at least drive by of) a Palestinian refugee camp... that did not happen. Not sure if it was due to timing or what, but I had personally hoped for that part of the tour, as well, to help round out the "balance" of our overall experience. Overall, I still highly recommend this tour!

The birthplace of Jesus...

Ayneaddis_W, Apr 2023

The birthplace of Jesus was very beautiful and the holiest place in the world the church is very big and attractive the tour guide was very funny and brilliant he explained everything about the church and all the holy places in Bethlehem he makes our visit unforgettable Thank you.

This was one of the best...

Tamara_M, Mar 2023

This was one of the best experiences we had on our trip. We absolutely loved the different tour guides we worked with and the knowledge and experiences that they shared with us. I was a little worried seeing the itinerary that it would be too many churches that would all blend together and bore my young kids, but each one was very different and had so many different stories to share. One slight problem - when booking, I was mostly concerned with avoiding activities on Shabbat that would be closed to us but I didn't think about the fact that all of these churches would have services on Sundays that would make it difficult to see them. Toward the beginning of the day it worked out in our favor because we had extra time to squeeze in a few other sights that normally weren't included on the tour. But we ended up having a very long wait at the Nativity Church to wait until the services concluded and the other people in the church kept getting annoyed at us waiting there. On the other hand, our guides were on top of it and made sure we were among the first in line, while other groups had a significantly longer wait. I think one of the best things about the tour though was that I not only got to learn fascinating facts about the rich history (my mind can't even comprehend the thousands of years of people that all were in that area) but also a lot about the modern problems and the different opinions of different local people depending on which side of the wall they live. It put so much into perspective for me.

Correct guided tour. A...

Muhammad_A, Feb 2023

Absolutely amazing tour. Tour guide in Bethlehem, Elias was one of the best and fun tour guide ever. Very informative tour regarding all the important places. Without doubt great day in Palestine. In the evening we had Amir as a tour guide for Jordan river and Jericho. He was great as well. Jericho is amazing place and oldest city in the world. Overall highly recommended this trip from Jerusalem.

Emozionante viaggio per Betlemme a Gerico, passando nel deserto

Camillo_F, Aug 2022

Il tour era organizzato in due parti. La mattina visita a Betlemme, eravamo un gruppo di circa 20 persone con guida locale, molto preparata. Dopo pranzo il gruppo si e' diviso in 3 parti (Gerico, Mar Morto, rientro a Gerusalemme). Io sono rimasto da solo e ho avuto il piacere di essere accompagnato in macchina da Ziad, che vive a Betlemme e che e' stato assai cordiale a portarmi in tutti i luoghi previsti nel tour e a raccontarmi molte cose relative ai posti attraversati. E' stato un vero compagno di viaggio, con cui mi sono sentito a mio agio, mi ha lasciato visitare i luoghi con tutta liberta'. Ziad mi ha poi riaccompagnato a Betlemme, non poteva proseguire a Gerusalemme perche' non era abilitato a guidare fuori dai territori palestinesi. A Betlemme un altro autista, di cui non ricordo il nome, ma altrettanto cordiale e con cui ho avuto una piacevole conversazione, mi ha riaccompagnato a Gerusalemme. Ho un bel ricordo di questa escursione, e ringrazio particolarmente i miei due autisti privati. In Israele ho fatto due tour con Viator (l'altro e' la salita notturna a Masada). In entrambi i casi organizzazione eccellente, guide assai cordiali e competenti, prezzi competitivi.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Our dear friend thank you very much for your great review. Your feedback on how comfortable and easy your trip was is appreciable, Ziad will be very happy reading your kind words. We are glad that you had a good time with us and we hope to see you again in the Holy Lands. God Bless
