After meeting with your private guide you leave Jerusalem and exit Israel through on of the checkpoints to enter the city of Bethlehem where you will drive through the Old City neighborhoods before arriving at the main Manger Square. Here we meet a local Palestinian guide from Bethlehem who will join us in the Church of Nativity, the oldest church building in the Holy Land and the place of birth of Jesus. Just before going through the checkpoint again you stop at a high point for a view of the area.
This tour has a luxury van with driver, a private tour guide for the full day and a private local guide in Bethlehem to skip the line at the birthplace of Jesus (no guarantee, but so far it was 100%).

Gadi and Yusuf are two amazing tour guide who went 100% the way to ensure our family of five enjoyed the day. He made time to even include other interesting sites and historical place that was not included in our purchase just to make it a full and well enjoyable day. He explained everything to the best of his knowledge, and please note he is very knowledgeable for us to understand. Our children even though quite small was able to join in on the tour and enjoy it. I highly recommend both of them. Thank you guys
