The Best Holiday - This is the second time that I’ve visited Palestine. Michael was my tour guide back in 2018. I loved it so much that I went back in December 2019 and spent 2 weeks in Bethlehem and a few days to travel around the country. This time, Michael customised a 3 day private guided tour package for me based on my interest and needs. We went to Jerusalem, Jericho and all the way up north to Nablus. Amazing is an understatement for these tours with breathtaking views and fascinating history that I had. Not only does Michael have extensive knowledges about the history and the area, he is also able to provide an objective view of the current conflict with positive attitude which I truly admire. On top of that, he went beyond and helped me to arrange accommodation etc. as well. I have been to many places and been on numerous tours in the past, there is no one near as good as Michael. The two weeks that I spent in Bethlehem is the best holiday that I have ever had. I have been planning on my next visit already. Tips: To ensure the tourist to learn and to make the most of the tour, Michael would conduct random tests through the tour LOL
