We had a great day touring with Shlomi! He was so knowledgeable and kind. He knew all the tricks to make our day that much more enjoyable! Thanks Shlomi for a great day!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We believe local knowledge can make all the difference to a travel experience, and we're so pleased Shlomi's expertise, kindness, and thoughtful approach helped make your day even more enjoyable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him.
I enjoyed the day and opportunity to see these sacred sights. Our guide was not good at keeping our group together. Several times had to go back and look for people. She would get mad at the lost people. She often went so fast and never checked to see if people were keeping up.
We're sorry for the guide's oversight during your tour. We value your feedback and will address this to ensure better group management. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Yani was amazing tour guide, he was so informative, he was patient to all of us answering questions, pleasant person and would recommend to other folks!
The guide was competent, but we did not do all the planned excursions to Bethlehem. We could have avoided stopping at the souvenir shop and wasting time there instead. It was also a pity that we could not have stopped in front of the Bethlehem wall instead of walking quickly past it.
Joined the day tour for Bethlehem and Jerusalem tour. Jerusalem old city was completely fine, Ozzy our tour guide was great, he gave us so much explanation of the place and even in the car. However, terribly disappointed with the part in Bethlehem. The only place we visited was the church of nativity, we sat in the car for an hour waiting to be transferred back to the Israeli car in Palestine area after the church visit. It was an utter waste of my precious time on holiday. Very disappointed that we visited none other places in Bethlehem too.
Shalom Xylona, Thank you for sharing your experience with us, It saddens us to hear that you are a dissatisfied traveler, we are happy to hear you enjoyed your time in Jerusalem thanks to Ozzy and we hope you loved floating on the Dead Sea. Please be in touch to hear more details and learn from your experience. Have a nice day!
Yossi is an interesting and knowledgeable tour guide. Unfortunately, we got behind schedule when we took a much longer break than the 10 minutes he said initially. The entire day was rushed from then on and as a result we didn't get to see certain historical landmarks up close, such as the Church of the Nativity and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in addition to skipping lunch George, our tour guide in Bethlehem, seemed more interested in spending time in a jewelry store with overpriced merchandise than giving us the opportunity to see Jesus' birth place up close
This tour was absolutely amazing due to our tour guide that made the experience beyond surreal as by the end of the day the entire bus (around 33 ppl) felt like a big family traveling on a holiday together. Yossi, made the trip fantastic due to his constant care, genuine passion combined with the ability to capture our interest by transporting us into the spiritual trip that our souls took along the places we were visiting. He went beyond the extra mile with hospitality, showed us around every single corner and made sure everyone was accommodated according to their wishes. Moreover, he took care of a person that got lost and took him over under our care when the tourist found himself lost and without any further means to travel from the Dead Sea (considering that the night was due to arrive that person was not left in the middle of the desert). I highly recommend this tour with this guide on board as he made the experience priceless for me.
Amir Stephen was a wonderful guide. He was funny extremely knowledgeable and interesting. We had a spectacular group who all got along and became friends throughout. The only request I’d have is spending an hour or so more at the Dead Sea.
Shalom Traveler, We are glad to hear you got new friends and enjoyed your time at your Jerusalem, Dead Sea, and Bethlehem Tour, Your feedback will be shared with your guide Amir and with the operations team as well, Thank you for your review :)
Nice tour because i got everything i wanted to experience and see. From the Old City till Dead Sea. Thumbs up to our tour guide Joseph. He is friendly and knowledgeable. Well explained the history of every place we have been. I can recommend this if you are on a short visit.
Shalom Traveler, Seeing that you had a 5-star experience thanks to our guide Joseph makes us very happy :) We are delighted to hear that the expectations of your tour were exceeded, thank you for recommending us. Have a wonderful day!
The tour is a good value for money if you have a very limited time to explore major attractions of Israel.
