Amazing Tours, People and Service! 100% Recommend!

5.00Incredible experience!! From planning the trip to the tours and coordinating with the team, Green Olives were amazing and accommodating. The tours provided all the relevant context of the occupation of Palestine, which is essential to understand the current situation. These were backed by facts and stories and personal experiences of the tour guides who shared how they continue to live under oppression and apartheid. Our experience with Yamen in the west bank was incredible, as a local of Bethlehem he provided an essential personal touch to the experience. You felt you were with a local hero was committed to supporting Palestinians in need and in the refugee camps. Very positive energy and accommodating, and strong understanding of the history but also shared the small details that impact palestinian livelihood. Alaa, who was our driver throughout the trip, was also very impressive with his history and facts. He shared his experiences which really deepens your understanding of how palestinians are living under the brutal occupation. Overall, hats off to Green Olive tours. Their mandate in tours is very clear and plays a vital role on the question of Palestine. Their planning is flexible and seamless, they make everything easy for you from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. The staff are incredible, friendly and go above and beyond on your trip. 100% recommend and essential to experience to truly understand the truth and correct the narrative on the illegal occupation. Thank you Green Olives!! Keep doing what you are doing.

5.00I would like to thank this company for making our experience in Israel and Palestine so incredible. We had 3 private tours in Jerusalem (Yahav guide), Bethlehem (Mustafa guide) and Jericho (Mohammad guide), and each day was enlightening and unforgettable. All guides had great knowledge on the history, culture and monuments of each place, and we enjoyed every minute. Thanks to Jehanne also for organizing the tours for us.
