5.00We had Sharif as our guide and he was awesome. Basically the mayor of any area we walked in. You’ll be lucky to have him as your guide.
Amazing.

5.00Visiting the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem was something I never imagined I’d have the privilege to do—and to also walk through the site of His crucifixion made the experience truly unforgettable. What made it even more meaningful was our exceptional guide, Sharif. He was not only warm and engaging, but also incredibly knowledgeable. His deep understanding of the historical sites we visited, combined with insightful commentary on the political and cultural landscape, brought everything to life. Sharif answered every question with patience and depth, making the entire tour both enlightening and enjoyable. If you’re planning a visit, I highly recommend requesting Sharif by name—you won’t regret it.
Quick overview of area

4.00This was a fairly good overview of the area in a short span of time. We got a good view and history of the Western Wall and surrounding area. We had a very brief stop in Bethlehem, where there was too long of a line to see the Nativity which was disappointing. We did get some time in Jerusalem, but with the walking from the parking area it felt a bit rushed here. The Dead Sea was quite amazing, but I’d definitely recommend wearing shoes/sandals down to the water as the surface is very rocky. Also, be careful once in the water as there are large blocks of cement you can't see through the muddy water. I scratched my leg fairly badly on one. The mud is quite soothing, so do rub some on yourself you'll enjoy the feel of your skin afterwards. Overall good tour and guide was nice and informative. 8/10

4.00We had an amazing time before the war broke out! both guides did a good job. We liked the Israel guide a bit better but over all a good tour.
Not value for money

3.00It’s very expensive for what’s provided. Our guide was very good and friendly but the whole package was not value for money and not comprehensive at all. The time is very limited on each activity. I.e. we had less than an hour in Dead Sea which on top of the 100€ per person for the tour you have to pay extra 9€ entrance fee(which was referenced in the notes but not that we would have so little time)
Sivan is terrible.

1.00The tour guide Sivan was late getting started and rushed us throughout the whole tour. I was absolutely miserable and I WANT A REFUND. He was rude, cold, full of ego, inconsiderate and unprofessional. He didn't even want us to make a quick stop in the early morning to grab water/juice while he was standing and talking unless it was a place where he was getting a percentage. He told a few of us not to buy from anyone like he can tell us where to spend our money He told us in a condescending way to hurry up and grab our coffee to go. He made us put it in a to go cup and he told other person on the pour it out and don't take it on the bus . I was so uncomfortable all day. We arrived at the church in Bethlehem during mass and we couldn't go in. He knows they have mass daily at that time. The purpose of coming to Tel Aviv is to see these historical places and have a good experience. We didn't get to see it and he was very inconsiderate. He keep telling us we were going to do things and he didn't follow He gave us no free time at all. He kept stopping to talk and in the dead middle in the sun instead of the shade which was 50 ft away. He even told us we needed to eat lunch on the bus to save time so we never got and opportunity to eat in Bethlehem or have any free time all day. He was acting like he was doing us a favor. He said he was going to give information at times where we saw important significant places but he didn't. This was country number 100 for me and he was a terrible guide.
