Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, funny, and professional. Gave us plenty of time to explore. We never felt rushed. We traveled with older family members and It was helpful to have breaks in between cites.
One of the best tours I had in a while. Great stops within Jerusalem and the Dead see lived up to the hype.
Our driver Ziadaj, was wonderful. I can’t remember the name of the Palestinian, tour guide, who was wonderful as well. He explained everything well. I recommend this tour.
Really enjoyed our tour with mu family. Our tour guide Elias made it even better! He really took care of us like family, made sure we had time to take pictures, made sure no one was jumping on our queue and protected us especially since Bethelehem wasn't safe for tourists. He really made my day with his sense of humour and professionalism! 5* for me!
Bethlehem tour was a blast! Elias - the English speaking guide - was superb: knowledgeable, very considerate and with a great sense of humor. We saw all the mandatory religious sights, plus got a glimpse of life in the West Bank. Highly recommended. The extension to the Dead Sea is a must - crossing the desert, the Bedouins, taking a dip in the Dead Sea at 1,290 feet below sea level - a unique experience! Rami, the driver for the day, kept his cool and was very professional during this 10 hour day trip.
Elliias was a great tour guide.. his knowledge and kindness make the tour unforgettable . Amazing experience
the trip there is nice but too short time to enjoy the dead sea. would be nice to have more time to enjoy the swimming in the dead sea
The whole tour of Bethlehem...Elias our tour guide...the detail/explanations throughout the tour were simply Awesome 10 out of 10....Will Definitely Recommend.
The guide in Betlehem was amazing. All in all a great trip but maybe a bit too much in one day, especially from Tel aviv
The guide in Bethelem managed to take the group to all spots, despite the challenges (ceremonies, other groups, etc). The last stop at the gift shop was convenient, giving the opportunity to purchase a sandwich by late morning and saving a precious time. And the bath in the Dead Sea is a must, no one should skip that.
