  • Worthwhile sites, try another company

    While the sites were worthwhile, there were many things that put a damper on the day. The first stop at a Bethlehem shop was overwhelmingly crowded with 3-4 large tour groups. On several occasions, the guide offered the option to stop and buy water but never actually stopped. If you wanted water, you had to run to catch up or lose the group altogether. The information given by the guide was sparing compared to other tours. Lastly, the trip was even longer than anticipated because of an extra pickup and drop off in Jerusalem. When booking the tour there was no mention of Tel Aviv AND Jerusalem.

  • A fun day

    Thoroughly enjoyed this full day tour. Our Palestinian guide, George, was great and the day was well organised.

  • Dead sea as the highlight of the tour

    I really enjoyed the whole tour. The transportation was confortable and safe. The driver and the tourist guide are well prepared and kind. If I could change something, I would skip the shopping experience (wooden shop at Bethlehem) so I could gain 30 minutes on Dead Sea visit- which I found very short to live the whole experience without the rush of getting back to the bus on time.

    The trip started off with a little snag the bus didnt pick up 6 of us who were at the hotel before the departure time. Fortunately, the bus came back and we were on our way. This tour offers covers a lot in a day. Some reviews note that there are different guides for each stop on the tour. I found this to be a good feature. Our guide in Bethlehem was a local resident who knew a great deal about the history and culture and Bethlehem and the Church of the Nativity where he appeared to know, and was on good terms with, the clergy of all of the denominations non small feat. Our guide in Jericho was also a local resident who was very knowledgeable concerning the pre-historic, Biblical, and modern history of the area. Qumran was a self-guided tour. My recommendation is to skip the movie, grab a map at the entrance, and see as much as you can because time is limited. The Dead Sea was great, and we had plenty of time to enjoy the experience. Over-all, this tour was an excellent value.

    This tour was a great day trip - and although the driver was a little on the quiet side - the other travellers on the tour melded well and enjoyed the tour together.
