Very informative and historical! A must do while in Jerusalem. You get to see and experience biblical references.
Great that you came way with an enlightening and interesting tour experience.Yes there is SO much learn about, Yes and so much happened right here for us to show you!
Unbelievable experience! We have been on dozens of tours and none of them come close to our custom tour with Dorit and Dan via Ben Harim Tours! They were so warm and knowledgeable that over the course of 3 days they became like family to us. Dorit with her charm and flexibility was always ready to meet all our needs and Dan with his driving and security made us feel like we were being pampered every step of our unforgettable journey. If you come to Israel and don’t book this tour you haven’t experienced the fullness of this special place!
We had the best experience with Eric!! We got to learn a lot about all the history of beautiful Jerusalem! 100% recommended, best way to understand most of the emblematic places in this amazing city.
Great to read you have had a memorable tour experience under Eric's guidance. He deserves your feedback for his professional effort.
A fantastic day - great itinerary and our guide Erez was excellent - highly knowledgeable with great communication skills and accommodating of our groups preferences. The trip to Herodium was the highlight of the day. We highly recommend this trip and would take another with Erez.. We were also impressed with the arrangements for meeting our guide and his communication with us the day before the tour. Top marks for this tour.
Thanks so much for this sincere feedback and most of all we appreciate your expression of gratitude for the excellent tour guide Erez. He sure deserves your praise for his efforts and enlightening commentary.
Did two private tours with Bein Harim Tours. A one day tour of old Jerusalem and Bethlehem and also a one day tour to Masada and the Dead Sea. Both with Gil as our tour guide who was excellent. The private tour was well worth the money versus being on a bus tour with lots of other people. Would definitely recommend this tour company
Thanks so much for sharing that you have had 2 excellent and worthwhile tour experiences with our company. and our guide GIl.The private tour experience obviously offers the best form of travel and custom made experience. Your sincere recommendation is much appreciated.
The tour was very good and Jacob , the tour guide, was exceptional! He went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best experience of Jerusalem. Highly recommend!!
How wonderful to read that you came away with an enlightening and memorable tour experience traveling with our guide Jacob. Great to know you have had the experience to cherish always.
Eric was great! Very energetic, informative, and engaging! He took time to get to know what we liked and were interested in and beares to the tour towards that. We weren’t hurried or rushed and had plenty of time for explanations, discussions, and photography… and we covered alot of ground!! Definitely recommended!!
Our tour guide was Yael Schreiber. She was amazing. So knowledgeable and professional. We could not have asked for a better individual to guide our tour.
Gill was knowledgeable but the first 2 things we wanted to see The Garden of Gethsemane and the Mount of Olives. He said there was a little unrest. That was not true. We could see tour busses. A friend took us the following day and it was all fine. He didn't seem like he wanted to do anything that was a little more work. He acted tired and a bit lazy. We were not impressed with his enthusiasm at all. We rehired a guy the next day and he admitted that it was a lie
Dear Kenneth_S, It is very surprising toread this review regarding our guide. Gil is a valued, experienced and recommended guide. We apologize for this experience and will investigate what you describe as his tired behaviour. May we add indeed there was unrest in Mt of Olives region !! We dont take any chances. NO lies !
Our tour had to be condensed to our travel plans, but Giora did a great job of accommodating us and showing us the highlights.
