I booked a Viator trip from Amman promising to cover both Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The owner initially warned me that Sunday travel wouldn’t allow both sites due to restrictions. When I threatened to cancel, she suggested moving the tour to Monday and assured me I’d see both places. However, the reality was very different—I only got to visit Jerusalem. To make matters worse, the communication at both borders was terrible, leaving me stranded with an incomplete itinerary and a hefty bill of $1045. Overall, a misleading and disappointing experience that didn’t deliver what was promised.

John, the driver who pick us up from our hotel was very pleasant and very nice in explaining things around especially someone who will meet us on the Israel side since he can not join us to cross the border. We highly recommend his service to us. As soon as we enter the Allenby inspection, it cost a lot of delay due to high risk of inspection on the Israeli part and it took us more than 2 hours before we met our Israeli side driver. He doesn’t talked much because he was always on the phone until our tour guide came in. Martin, our tour guide said since we came in late and he understands the long delay of inspection from the border and Immigration check too. I was disappointed because I booked this tour that includes the tour up in the Golden Mosque and he said we can not do it. They close at 10:30 am, we arrived past 11:00 am. He tried his best to go take us to the most important locations. Over all, the tour was very pleasant and my friends was in awe to see the holy sites. Thanks. Lito M.

Getting through the borders was somewhat confusing. We were not told about the shuttle bus and its cost prior to the trip or where to meet the tour guide upon arriving. How ever the driver, Ahmed, who picked us up at our hotel was wonderful and very helpful. The tour guide, Maharen, was absolutely fabulous. He was very knowledgeable, personal and accommodating to our needs. Also the operator was quick to reply to our emails. A great experience!
Good tour to hit all the important sites!

My wife and I were a little hesitant on this tour mainly because we didn’t want to have to sit on buses or terminals for hours waiting to crops the border. The transfer from Amman to the border crossing was smooth, the driver picked us up on time at the hotel. However, the crossing took approx. 2 hours. Mostly sitting on a bus waiting for it to fill up. Getting across was simple but there were some wait times involved and various check points. Once we made it through, our driver was waiting for us to take us to our meeting point in Jerusalem with our tour guide Michael. Michael was amazing! He is very knowledgeable and informative. My wife and I did a one day tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman and Michael took us to all the important sites in both places. It was a rainy and cold day but he was a trooper the whole time and took his time giving us the history of each place we visited. Michael took us to the best Falafel spot in Bethlehem for lunch and to an awesome store to purchase olive wood items. Well done Michael! The transfer back to Amman was a lot quicker. Probably 30 minutes in all. Driver was a little late picking us up but communicated well. *Don’t forget to tip your your guides
