5.00I had the privilege of being on the first tour since the war in Gaza started back in October. I recommend this tour because you will see and learn things many normal tours won't tell you about when you go to Bethlehem. Unfortunately, we didn't get to walk around too much because of bad rain. But I highly recommend this tour and Daniel is a great guide, he even gave me a great souvenir of olive oil soap made in Palestine.

5.00We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide than Dani to explore and get to know Bethlehem with all its stories, cultural dynamics, and political conflicts. From initial communication to dropping us off at the end of the tour, everything was fantastic, with Dani being such an accommodating and knowledgeable person who patiently answered all of our hundreds of questions. We highly recommend Dani for any trip to Palestine. Thanks Dani, we had an unforgettable experience!
Eye opening and thought provoking

5.00The tour, which includes walking through of a refugee camp, helped illuminate the lives of Palestinians in at least one of the occupied territories. The highlight of the trip was meeting (unplanned) a recently released prisoner, in his late teens, who was hanging out with his friends. Having traveled in Israel extensively, it was useful to get the Palestinian perspective on the current and historical tensions facing the country. We also enjoyed the parts of the tour related to artist Banksy. Our tour guide was also excellent and well-connected to the Bethlehem community. I'd highly recommend for anyone wanting to get a better understanding of this very complex area of the world.
An absolute must-do when visiting Bethlehem

5.00The tour was even better than I expected. Daniel is an amazing guide, so knowledgeable about Palestine and its current, as well as past situation. You will never really know what it's like there until you do this tour. I couldn't recommend it more. I'm forever grateful.
Great tour!
