Dear Trip Advisor Team, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some feedback regarding a recent tour experience I booked the Bethlehem and Jerusalem Day Biblical Tour from Tel Aviv on 9/18/2023 through Trip Advisor. First and foremost, I'd like to express my trust in Trip Advisor as a reliable platform for travel recommendations and bookings. I eagerly booked a tour that promised to explore the historic sites of Jerusalem, and I was pleased to find that the tour started with a pick-up at the designated location. Our journey began at the Wailing Wall, followed by a visit to the Via Dolorosa. Before heading to the Sepulcher, our guide took us to a Golde City Bazaar Dajani store, which he claimed was not only a convenient restroom stop but also a place to provide complimentary water. He went further to assure us that this particular store was recommended by Israeli tourism authorities, as stated in the pamphlet provided to us. During this stop, I became interested in purchasing a Jerusalem 5-point cross. After some negotiation, I was quoted a price of 3,500.00 shekels, equivalent to $914.79. However, when I requested a receipt for the purchase, I was informed that their receipt machine was out of order. Additionally, I was not offered or asked if I needed VAT documentation. To my disappointment, a few days later, I discovered a charge on my credit card for the exact amount of $3,500.00 from the Bazaar store. This has left me feeling unsettled and concerned about the credibility of the tour operator recommended by Trip Advisor. I'm sharing these details with the sincere hope that Trip Advisor can improve its recommendation process to ensure travelers have a positive and trustworthy experience. Your platform is valued by many, including myself, and I believe that addressing such issues will help maintain the high standard of trust and reliability associated with your brand. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Maria

The guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the place. It was an amazing experience although the heat was really bad in July. I'd love to explore more of Israel and will definitely go back to Ben Harim Tours for future visits back here. Thanks, Avi and George for your sincerity and your passion throughout the tour.

OMG! First time in Israel. Did the biblical tour of Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Our guide, Tomer, was fun, informative, very knowledgeable, and made us feel safe. We saw all the things we had hoped to see, including the church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Via Dolorosa, the Wailing Wall, and so much more. The pick up was on time, the coach was well air conditioned ( it was about 91) I would highly recommend this tour and this guide! Couldn’t have been better!

We got a wonderful tour guide Mike he took us to all the must see sights and explained all the events were took place in the Bible. It was an amazing experience a must tour while visiting the holy land. Only improvement needed is the morning pick up from the hotel we have tours from the same operator twice and experience guests were not on the pick up list. the tour guide wasting a lot of time calling the office and other guests have to waited and waited the tours were delayed. The back office needs to do a better job on preparing the list.
