I enjoyed every moment of this tour except for slight delay in picking us up from hotel Agrippa and a bit more delay at Mt. Scopus. However, once we got going it was great. Our tour guide both in Jerusalem and in Bethlehem were very knowledgeable, shared important facts about all the places we visited. The tour company even organized a place for us to buy lunch in Bethlehem. It was nice restaurant with excellent food at reasonable prices. This is a full day tour with a lot of walking, so make sure you have comfortable shoes, water, and a hat for sun protection. I would gladly do this tour again when next I am in Jerusalem

It was a full day trip and you have to keep up with the guide’s pace . However, it is worth it ! We covered so many sites and we were so blessed to have had this experience on Christmas Dec 24. Everything was great. But the tour guides made even more enjoyable!!!! Merry Xmas everyone !
