Our day started from the sacred town of Bethlehem the birthplace of Jesus. we started exploring some of the core sites of Christianity including the Church of the Nativity. Then we proceeded to our destination targeting Jericho, the oldest and lowest city in the world, where we all enjoyed and overviewed the ancient ruins and Mount Temptation
We had the most wonderful tour with Daniel! He was very helpful and taught us a lot about the current situation in Palestine. He also went to lenghts to make it possible for us to swim in the Dead Sea, as we were a bit late to the place and it was originally closed. Also it was more convenient to do this tour instead of using public transports/private taxis, which would have been more stressful and maybe even more expensive. In addition most destination we visited can't be reached via public transports. All in all I highly recommend his tours, it was worth every penny!
My favorite part of my tour was visiting Tell es-Sultan, the site of ancient Jericho. It is not at all what I imagined it would be, so I didn't really know how to engage with the site. Dani knows this region inside and out so he was able to guide us through and tell us everything about the history of the archaeological research, the current situation in Jericho, and of course, an amazing traditional Arabic meal.
The tour was super great and Daniel was very helpful and knowledgeable about the current situation in Palestine. The monastery we visited was amazing and despite some cold weather we had an awesome time, looking forward to my next visit!
What a wonderful, thoughtful and educational tour Dani provided! Highly recommended for those who care to learn and experience more!
Booking a tour through Jericho Alternative Tour is highly recommended: At short notice, the tour from Bethlehem to Qumran & Jericho was organized and made possible. During the day trip, the guide remained flexible and responded to individual requests regarding the itinerary. All questions about the history and sights of the places were answered in detail. Additional stops to sample drinks & typical food were also part of the tour. A very beautiful and very informative day in a breathtaking nature and in important places in human history.
We toured Bethlehem and Jericho with Dani. It was a highlight of our trip to Israel. Dani is extremely good and personalized the tour to our needs and interests. Many thanks to him for a very memorable and meaningful learning experience that we will carry with us forever.
We had the best trip visiting Old Jericho, Zacchaeus Sycamore Tree, Elisha's Spring, a delicious lunch & than when leaving Jericho Dani finding the best dates in the world. Our time floating in the Dead Sea was topped by Dani giving us the top quality mud to massage with. All was topped off by a camel photo shoot with the stunning sunset to capture our wonderful day. Thank you Dani Alternative Tours !
Daniel took us to some really nice places in Palestina. It included Jordan Border, the oldest monastry, Jericho and cable car and some more super nice spots. It was absolutely perfect in all points!!! He answered all questions super kindly, showed us very interesting things, gave us a look into issues which exist to understand. It was an amazing day - we also had lots of fun:) I can definitely recommand to do a tour with him!! Would do it any time again and will have next time a visit :) also in combination with staying in house of peace!! Thanks :)
