Really enjoyed our tour with mu family. Our tour guide Elias made it even better! He really took care of us like family, made sure we had time to take pictures, made sure no one was jumping on our queue and protected us especially since Bethelehem wasn't safe for tourists. He really made my day with his sense of humour and professionalism! 5* for me!

Bethlehem tour was a blast! Elias - the English speaking guide - was superb: knowledgeable, very considerate and with a great sense of humor. We saw all the mandatory religious sights, plus got a glimpse of life in the West Bank. Highly recommended. The extension to the Dead Sea is a must - crossing the desert, the Bedouins, taking a dip in the Dead Sea at 1,290 feet below sea level - a unique experience! Rami, the driver for the day, kept his cool and was very professional during this 10 hour day trip.
