Bein Harim Tourism Services - Big thanks to our Tour guide Dan Porges and our driver, Muhammad. Dan is a seasoned Professional who is extremely knowledgeable. His easy going manner and rapport is highly commendable. If and when he decides to hang up his Tour Guide sneakers, Bein Harim Tourism Services should keep him on to Mentor the younger generation coming through the ranks. Thank you @Dan ... from Gershon

Average tour, scary place - It was something I would never bother with again, felt unsafe, the tour was arranged with Oceania Cruise lines, and our tour guide was hopeless. The tour was not what we thought it would be. Not being religious I thought it was something i can say to people been there done it.

Great tour - Had to wait a bit for pick up and our tour guide could be more knowledgeable. Other than that, this was a great tour of Jerusalem. Saw the Garden of Gethsemane and went inside the church - very sombre. Went to the Western Wall and prayed at the Wailing Wall. We explored some of the Stations of the Cross. Our tour was on a Friday so this meant that the Holocaust museum was closed so we went to visit Mount. Zion (King David's tomb and hall of the last supper) instead. Lastly, I met many lovely people on this tour.

Good information but needs improvement - Lots of interesting information and sites. A little confusion in the beginning. The guides should have signs so we know who they are at pick up and communicate more about where we are going. We switched buses at the botanical gardens but were not told that is where we were. As a result we didn’t really get to look around. The guide should also do more to connect with the group.

Missed out on entire trip - What a shame that the bossy tour guide managed to loose one of our party before getting to the first sight. The rest of the party continued on at high speed and she was left roaming for 4.5 hours trying to find the group. Without local SIM cards the group couldn’t reconnect as no WiFi. When contacting the number on the badge duly stuck on her shoulder, the voice message was that the office was closed due to Sabbath. No map was given and no mid way meeting points given so impossible to catch up.
A refund is requested please.
Thank you.
