Our guide Benjamin was awesome. Gave us enough history background of the places we saw . The religious sites were something to cherish for a lifetime . Despite the weather had a great time
Thanks for sharing that you came way with a memorable and enlightening tour experience. Benjamin sure is worthy of your praise for his professional efforts and tour management skills
Did not read my WhatsApp messages and fail to arrange with late comers that is very disappointed.…..
We apologise that this was the nature of communication dealing with Bein Harim tourism services, If there was a nighttime message it may not have been read. .It is not clear exactly what occured. There is an issue with latecomers as the meeting places on the shedule which is very tight. Best would be if you call our offices in order to sort this out amaicably, These days our logistics are spot on as it is not high busy season at all. Please accept our regrets.
Yuval was the perfect guide. He was informative and let to us trying new foods I wouldn’t otherwise have known to try. I learned so much and really enjoyed the experience. Wonderful group of other solo travelers.
Our tour guide was great. Had a wonderful command of the English language. He took us to a hidden gem for lunch.
Great you had an excellent tour experience and a tasty lunch!
Fist time in Israel. The pick up was organised at Dan Hotel Tel Aviv. Van was comfortable and air conditioner. Eyal our guide for the day has such a high knowledge of the Bible Old & New Testament (I am a Christian), kind, respectful and patient. We had time to take pictures, to pray at certain important places like the Western Wall, Saint Sépulcre Church. We also visited a souvenir shop in Jerusalem and ate lunch in a restaurant. Yad Vashem was emotional. I highly recommend touring with Bein Harim Tourism Services, highly professional.

An Unforgettable Tour of Jerusalem with the Best Guide Ever! Today I had the pleasure of touring Jerusalem with Avi, and I can honestly say it was one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had. Avi guided me through the Muslim Quarter, Jewish Quarter, Christian Quarter, and even sites outside the Old City with exceptional knowledge and care. He was incredibly thorough, respectful, passionate, and deeply informative throughout the entire tour. His ability to bring history, culture, and faith to life made this experience not only educational but also truly moving. I’ve been on many tours before, but Avi stands out as the best tour guide I’ve ever met. If you’re looking for someone who loves what he does and genuinely cares about providing a meaningful experience, Avi is your go-to guide. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jerusalem — you won’t regret it!
This was an exceptional tour ! Our tour guide was amazing. He was on time, and on point. He knows all of the history of the Christian Quarter, the Muslim Quarter, and the Jewish Quarter. The Holocaust Museum was one of the best I’ve visited. I highly recommend this tour ! You will love it. It was safe and fun. You will also learn a lot. Book this tour !
Thanks for this rave review of the tour, It is clear you came away with a tour experience to cherish. SO come again Soon!
The guide Daniel was very friendly and had a good, personable manner. Especially if you are staying overnight in Jerusalem, the beginning is a bit annoying, as all the tours are put together and distributed at a large meeting point. It seems a bit chaotic. Anyone who expects highly detailed historical details may be disappointed. But you will definitely get an overall overview and insight. You can always buy drinks along the way, at the shops you pass by. There is also a 10-15 minute toilet break in a souvenir shop, but you don't have to buy anything, you can also buy something to drink right next to it and wait a bit.
We greatly appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that Daniel, our guide, was both friendly and provided valuable insights during the tour. While the beginning of the tour may have seemed a bit chaotic, we are continuously working to improve our processes for a smoother start. Furthermore, we understand that not everyone may be seeking highly detailed historical information, and we aim to strike a balance that caters to a variety of interests. Thank you for choosing us for your journey!
Elias was very knowledgeable and he made sure we were all accounted for. The tour to Bethlehem and Mount of Temptation was wonderful. The weather in August was very hot. We have to hydrate by bringing water and getting fresh squeezed juices. The tour stops were enough for bathroom breaks. We stopped at a store. They served tea us tea and Baclava. They even gave us some free small crosses and Dates.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the Bethlehem tour with Elias. We're glad the tour stops provided ample opportunities for bathroom breaks, and it's great to hear you had a pleasant stop at the shop. We appreciate your review and hope to welcome you again on another tour soon!
