Beautiful day in the Holy land - I’m a bit of a history enthusiast, so I thought I knew a bit what to expect, but of course the experience was so much better than what I had expected.
The tour guides Tcahi and George were fantastic, friendly and made the entire day unforgettable.
If you are going to visit Jerusalem and Betlehem, these are the guys you want to take you around.

He was super knowledgeable, very personable, funny, popular with the locals on tour ( people were smiling and greeting him everywhere we went- it was wonderful to see the Israelis happy to be out in the city working again & hosting tourists). Jerusalem was not very crowded due to resolving war- but that was to out benefit to have more of the city to ourselves. We were able to see so many things on the bus/walk tour that would have taken us days on our own. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to get the most comprehensive introduction to Jerusalem:)
If Itamar is available for any tour I would go with him. The only disappointment was they cancelled the Bethlehem part of the tour ( due to the war). I am Catholic & really wanted to see the birth place of Jesus. I hired a private guide which is basically the only way to travel safely at this time) ❤️🇺🇸🇮🇱🍀🙏

My bucket list tour to walk where Jesus walked - Very nice tour, both tour guides were excellent. I was hoping to actually go to the Garden of Gethsemane rather than drive by, but all in all I loved it and would highly recommend

Amazing experience seeing all the sites from scripture - We stayed in Israel for 5 days and did three tours. This was hands down the best one. Our guide, Yoav, was amazing. As we walked through the city, he seemed to know everyone. It was like you were getting a tour from the mayor of Jerusalem. He was also super knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about each of the sites we visited.
Getting to see Bethlehem and Jerusalem was a bucket list dream of mine. I am so happy that this was the tour I chose to take to make it happen.

Average - Why an average review? The guide was friendly and personable. He needed to focus more on the tour. Rather, we spent too much time in shops. The church of the Holy Scepleture was breeze, no time to see anything. It is hot in August so touring is tough on foot. focus more on the tour

Bethlehem Tour – a disaster disguised as a pilgrimage.
This trip was nothing short of a disappointment. - Bethlehem Tour – a terrible disaster disguised as a pilgrimage.
This trip was nothing short of a disappointment. What should have been a spiritual and peaceful experience turned into an overpriced shopping marathon. We spent hours in souvenir shops with sellers aggressively pushing us to buy things we didn’t want. Lunch was at a place serving pre-made, overpriced food, with no alternative options provided.
The driver failed to warn us about a dangerous pothole at the Bethlehem checkpoint — the bus went over it so harshly that it caused chest pain and left several of us shaken. When I felt physically ill and asked for a break, the guide completely ignored me. There was no care or concern for passenger wellbeing. The whole tour felt commercialised and money-driven, not like a genuine pilgrimage at all.

Total incompetence and approximation in communications with customers - Ridiculous organization and tourist trap. It offers tours from Tel Aviv to see Jerusalem in one day, you book it and cancel it less than 24 hours before departure. When I replied that I had already received the ticket (and sent it by email as proof) which confirmed the pick up in Tel Aviv in a hotel near mine, they denied the evidence and told me to contact a tour operator for the reimbursement. The ridiculous thing was receiving early morning (tour departure time) from their number +972 52-658-8837 after I found other solutions. Don't take this company.
