Do it , don’t think about it twice - This is hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and the Tour guide Rocky was not hospitable but he made the experience much more enjoyable! I love how he was extremely patient and attentive to our needs. It’s definitely worth it! Although the border was close to get to Jordan River which was in no way the Tour Fault's, I still left the trip feeling fulfilled and omg he kept feeding us!!! I’m so grateful! Rocky you are the Best!

What are you waiting for?? Book it you won’t regret it! - Incredible experience! Spent the perfect amount of time at each place. Our driver Rocky doubled as the best tour guide/ photographer. I will make sure my friends and family book with him when they get a chance to visit. Great people and places at every site that brought their own experience and expertise to this tour making it very unique.

Best Tour experience! - My husband and I took our first trip to Jerusalem this week and booked a tour with Jerutours. Our driver Ahmad was great the entire day. Very informative, knowledgeable, and thoughtful to maximize our experience along our route to each location. We left Jerusalem to start our day and headed to Jericho. Along the route, our driver stopped to allow us the opportunity to see and ride camel then continued to Jericho. In Jericho we met up with local tour guide Ahmad. He too was so knowledgeable and so great. We got to experience the complete history of Jericho, and take in the amazing views from Mount Temptation. We left Jericho and went to the Qasr al-Yahud baptism site. Our driver Ahmad helped us to achieve our bucket list item of being baptized in the Jordan River. All I can say is that it was transformative. We then traveled to Bethlehem and met with local guide, Abood to learn and experience the history of Church of the Nativity. At the end of the tour, our guide beautifully sang the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic to my husband and me. Our driver then stopped to allow us to purchase souvenirs at a wonderful shop in Bethlehem before returning to our hotel in Jerusalem. Our entire journey throughout the entire day felt more like an intimate VIP experience. Each guide and our driver took the time to maximize our experience and take plenty of pictures for us to enjoy for a lifetime. We felt comfortable and safe the entire day. Our driver and guides got us full and uninterrupted access to each site. We highly recommend this tour and this service and look forward to doing it again.

Excellent trip! - Great experience! Very professional driver and guide in one person (Rocky), introducing to the Palestine and its culture. At Jericho and Betlehem local guids with amazing knowledge about the history of both places (I know what I'm saying, I'm an archaeologist). Many other stops on the way, also on request, including Baptismal Site at the Jordan River, Banksy's street art, local food and craft stores, but with no pressure.

AMAZING guide, Incredible trip (BOOK NOW) - This was an adventure of a life time. First off, due to the war, it is very difficult to find companies willing to take solo passengers on tour through the beautiful historical sites that the West Bank has to offer. They were dependable, showed up on time, and my driver/tour guide was amazing. Rocky was incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the history of all the major sites and had very quick answers to all historical/current questions I had about Israel/Palestine. Not only was Rocky amazing, but all other local guides that took me in were great as well (at the different check points). With tourist season being low, now is the time to book this trip with this remarkable company. I got a private tour (with literally no tourists) through Bethlehem, the Jordan river, and Jericho. Don’t think about it.. it was worth every penny!

Fantastic Tour - We had a fantastic tour guide Rocky. He’s been very helpful, kind enough to answered all our questions. It was a unique experience and will be grateful we had the opportunity to visit such an important part of the world. The tour was interesting and informative. It was eye-opening to the reality of the Israel-Palestine conflict. I recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you again Jeru Tours/ Rocky.
