Fascinating tour which exceeded expectations - We were concerned about this tour as arranging it had been difficult and the confirmation came on a no reply email and contained no contact details except our own! Please correct this for others.
But the trip was excellent. The pick up was there ahead of time, the manager at the sorting car park, where we shifted to another minibus was professional and communicated well. Our guide was excellent. The best of all the guides touring Jordan, Isreal and Egypt. Dan was very personable and enthusiastic. He was knowledgeable about infrastructure and nature on our journey to and from the sites and then about the religions and sites we visited. He outlined what we were going to do at each stage and was warmly assertive to get the best for his group of 17 in Jerusalem. He organised the optional lunch well and used good interactive teaching skills to engage us. His distinctive straw hat held up helped us identify him in the crowds. His English was easy to follow. Others on the tour commented on our guides sensitivity to different religions, nationalities and cultures. The tour is fast paced. We had another guide in Bethlehem who was also kind and helpful. The drive in Palestine to see Bethlehem was an education!
The tour from Tel Aviv is expensive now in the small group but larger than 17 would be unmanageable. However we really enjoyed and appreciated it. Thanks Dan a great experience. X

I'll be back. - Magical place, many difficulties to enter Palestine, the church of the nativity is essential to know, as is the painful and Holy Sepulchre. Besides the wall of wailing.

two days in Jerusalem with a guide - We just returned from a trip to Jordan, with the exception of 2 days in Jerusalem where we used the Evi tours guide, who was more than good, attentive to all details. In the short time we had she managed to make us visit as much as possible. She stayed with us all day advising us very well where to eat and at the end of the day helped us find two taxis to our hotel.
Thank you Evi congratulations for your great professionalism, competence and sympathy

Unforgettable tour of some of the most important places of Jerusalem and Bethlehem. - The pick up at the hotel took place on time at the scheduled time. We begin the tour of Mount of Olives, then going to Mount Zion (Tomb of King David and the place of the Last Supper of Jesus with his Apostles. Then we went to Bethlehem, where we had to change car and guide (we left the experienced Ben to be led by the friendly Edmund (local guide in Bethlehem). In the Church of Nativity, we were given the opportunity to enter the cave where Jesus was born (the queue was exceptionally not so large). After the tour to the Church of the Nativity, we return to the meeting point for exchange for the Israeli car (minibus) (previously passing through a shop to admire and buy authentic local crafts (most things sold in Bethlehem as in many other cities, are Chinese). We stopped at a place between Bethlehem and Jerusalem for lunch (not included in the tour) and continued to the Wall of Lamentations and then to the Via Dolorosa, ending in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where besides everything you can see in this historic and sacred place, we still managed to admire some of the rituals that took place at the end of the afternoon. A memorable day! Our greetings to Viator’s local operator (Rent-a-guide) and especially to the professionals who were with us, taking care, guiding and providing all kinds of clarification for a better understanding of what we were visiting. Ben local guide in Israel + Julio (driver). Edmund, local guide in Bethlehem. Our tour was in English! Thank you very much and goodbye soon. Shalom!!!

Could have been much better! - We did a tour in January 2023. There were 3 of us and we were with a group who filled the rest of the bus and all knew each other. When we first got on the bus, there was not room for one of us. The guide had a child move from her seat. The group we joined with had many Spanish speakers. So while the guide did speak English, everything was interpreted into Spanish. It was distracting and took a lot more time. The guide in Bethlehem (Adel) was awesome and kept people moving. The guide in Jerusalem would set times to be back and would never keep to them. More time was spent shopping than I would have preferred. It just seemed like we should have been added to a different group and not one that obviously wanted to have a Spanish-speaking guide.
