Great last minute adventure

I booked this trip the night before. I wasn't sure it would work out due to the last minute nature, but it was a fantastic experience. They contacted me late at night to confirm the pickup location. Safe, enjoyable, adventurous, and informative. We started at the mount of olives, walked the stations of the cross, and toured the old city of Jerusalem. I wholly recommend. Pickup was only from the hotel Dan, so you need to be within walking distance. Bring cash since many places, including our lunch stop, don't take cards. Be prepared to walk most of the day.
Avoid at all cost!

This tour was operated by Bein Harim Israel Tours. We started from Tel Aviv and they were supposed to pick us up from the hotel. 24 hours before the tour (so you cannot cancel) they sent us an email indicating a different pickup location. So, we had to manage to get to the pickup location. The pickup time was 6:30am on a bus with other 60 people. From there, they take you to another location where you have to hop on another bus. Then you arrive to Jerusalem, and you have to hop on another bus. This means that on logistics you will waste 3 hours to get to Jerusalem and 3 hours to come back because the return is exactly the same nightmare but backwards. So, a total of 6 wasted hours. You end spending in the tour about 3 hours with ZERO time to look on the bazars or local shops. As a Catholic person, this tour meant a lot to me, but it was poorly delivered by our guide. In my opinoin, this tour should be given by a Christian person who can relate the story and the faith. Having a non-Christian person made the whole experience unpleasant.

This was a wonderful tour and our guide, Tomer, brought this rich history to life. He was passionate, knowledgeable and a simply wonderful guide. Having time to absorb the the significance of each site and see Jerusalem through the eyes of a local was amazing. I would highly recommend this tour. It does require a reasonable level of fitness and mobility as there is a fair bit of walking and the ground can be steep and uneven. Thanks for sharing your passion with us Tomer!

Itamar: When passion meets vocation... I booked a day trip from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and Bethlehem on the occasion of a visit from Israel to BeinHarim. The hotel pickup was exemplary, the bus top equipped and clean. Operationally, everything is fine. Our guide in Jerusalem was Itamar, who does it with extreme passion. He has clearly found his profession and his calling. Always with a smile, with a lot of charm and a lot of knowledge he led through the day. In Bethlehem, Miriam joined us, who guided us through the Church of the Nativity. Lunch was absolutely OK. The tour just fabulous. I can only recommend her and Itamar.
Awesome from start to finish!

We had four excellent tours with Bein Harim. Dan Porges, Lorne, Orian and Ormi were OUTSTANDING tour guides. We will definitely book again with this company and guides!

Our whole experience was wonderful, hearing the stories from the perspectives of the place. Touch the stones, walk the roads. Nazareth, Mount Zion, Jerusalem. Really wonderful. Thank you Saul, a great guide

The content of the tour was great but the circumstances of the tour were less than ideal, which is why this is a 4. As sometimes happens in group tours, 1 member of the group challenged the guide/took things over quite a bit, appearing to throw the guide off his game. Further, the guide was training 2 guides at the same time as giving this tour, so he'd speak to the group, the trainees would ask questions in Hebrew, and the guide would answer those questions in Hebrew, leading to a rather disjointed experience.
Great tour!

Not only were the places we visited interesting, the guide was very good. Me and my mother were amazed at how enthusiastic and educated she was about all kinds of topics. She answered all personal questions and had a solution for all problems that occurred.
