Excellent and insightful - Very knowledgeable guide! We were able to finish early and George took us to see the King Hasham palace. He not only answered our questions, but provided much needed background and context for us to understand. Our driver was excellent - willing to take us to the King Hasham palace.

Amazing experience - This was a great tour, got to visit all these wonderful sites with the expert and friendly guidance of George our Tour Guide and our great driver Nassar, who kept us safe and comfortable throughout the drive in Jerusalem and the West Bank. They were all so kind accommodating my mom's limited mobility and outdoing themselves to make it an awesome experience for everyone. Thank you!

Amazing Trip to the West Bank - This tour is absolutely incredible. We get to witness the breathtaking view of Jericho and explore the Church of Nativity, which holds immense historical significance. The guide is also friendly, knowing a lot of history.

Great day tour but late pick up. - This was a great tour but my only complaint is we were told that we would be picked up at 7:30-7:45 at our hotel in Jerusalem. We were concerned at 8:00 that maybe the trip was cancelled because we had not been picked up. We tried calling and using the chat feature to contact the company. No one answered the phone and we did not get a reply from the chat. We waited till 8:30 and finally the van showed up. The Driver then drove us to Bethlehem where we were met by George our guide. George is excellent and spoke perfect English. The Driver did not speak English so I was a little concerned. George took us on a short walk to see the wall that divides Palestine & Israel and then we took the van to a gift shop. We then drive to Manger square and visited the Greek Orthodox Church which has access to the Grotto where Jesus was born. We could not go into the grotto due to Sunday Services going on. George gave us all the history on the church and the grotto. We then drove to where Jesus was baptized by John the baptizer. We took some photos and watched a few folks be baptized. We then drove to a restaurant in Jericho. Our lunch was an additional cost but it was really good and a fair value. We then headed to St George Monastery which is on the mount of Temptation. We took the Gondola up and climbed the 150 steps up. It’s a very cool Church and setting. We saw so remnants from the Jericho Wall that dates back to Joshua’s time in the Bible. We really enjoyed our day and our other tour mates were super fun to spend the day with as well. We had one single lady and another couple that toured with us. The van was very comfortable and the best part was George’s knowledge and sharing of his country and Biblical facts with us. He’s a very nice young man who was fun and informative of all the sites we visited. It was a great day of learning. I highly recommend this tour. Just know the traffic can control them being late for your pick up. I’m glad we waited since George was such an amazing guide and the sites were very interesting.

Day trip to Holy Land. - The route was relatively short and with breaks at the main objectives so that the trip as a whole was very pleasant. Our guide Mani was very helpful. The sights were very interesting and we received the essential information about them. I particularly liked the stop at the Jordan River because last year I was in the same place but on the Jordanian bank. The monastery of Mount of Temptations near Jericho reminded me the Montserrat Monastery in Spain. The Judea desert was spectacular. During the trip I met interesting people. The tour was well organized and met my expectations. Good value for money.

Take the plunge and be baptised - Very long day but worth the 14 hrs. Guide and driver excellent and managed to keep us on track to visit all the itinerary. My favourite part was Jordan River watching the baptisms this was very special as my baptism was in a swimming pool, even so it was also confirmed of my faith in Jesus.
