Had a great day with this tour! The guide in Bethlehem is very good at his job. He prepared information for the tour with a lot of detail and presented it in an entertaining manner. The time spent at the Dead Sea was just right and the pacing and transportation of the tour were also very well organised.
Johnny was awesome and very knowledgeable on every aspect of the tour. He made this very special for me and I recommend him to anyone seeking a tour
Elias was such a humble and helpful tour guide. He made us laugh at times and he went out of his way to make sure we eer taken care of. He even had the gift shop provide us with some free ornaments.
I highly recommend this tour for Bethlehem and Dead Sea. The tours run by Judah Tours and they communicate well. The buses start on time and the guide Elias was funny, very knowledgeable. One of the best tour guide we had in Israel. You can bring towel from hotel because they charge 15 shekels for towel rental. The lunch choices were chicken shawarma (40 shekels) or falafel sandwiches. I like falafel sandwich (25 shekels). They both come with drinks. We went to olive wood factory, and the store was great. I bought some souvenirs and the store brought free gift for us to take like wooden crosses, Christmas ornaments. Thank you.
Evrything , I had time to see everything, and the guide; he left us as much time as we needed I liked it [it was a group from different countries
Excellent tour, very nice experience knowing Bible stories and places off the beaten track like the dead sea. I would take this tour again, highly recommended
Visiting the cave where Jesus was born. The Dead Sea was an amazing area as well. The guides were so nice and very knowledgeable about the area.
Thank you so much for your kind review
The tour was really super organized, the tour guide super nice and the bus really comfortable. In the morning we went to Bethlehem and in the afternoon to the Dead Sea. Even before Bethlehem we were allowed to admire the wall of "evil" Israelis. Once in Bethlehem everything was really well organized. Hardly Waiting time, where you might otherwise stand in line for hours. Our guides have explained everything excellently. At the olive wood factory we got free tea and wooden crosses. Super friendly and generous, so I have often experienced the Arabs. In between personal talks and of course no right to exist for Israel. Then we went to the Dead Sea. The wind caused waves, then it rained and we slipped in the mud. The organizer can't help it, that's just bad luck. We went swimming anyway because we don't know if it's the once-in-a-lifetime chance for us. Overall, the organizer has given everything to make this tour as pleasant as possible. I'll be happy to give you the full score.
