Well looked after by the team, thanks! - Logistics was well organized, but as with most things, it's people that make the difference, and we certainly were in the good hands of a very professional trio. Big thanks to Itamar for the explanations in both English and Spanish and for pulling double duty as guide/driver; Miriam for managing our time expertly in Bethlehem, getting us through some horrendous queues at the Church of the Nativity while delivering explanations in English, Spanish and French; and last but not least, Ahmed's safe driving and keeping us all comfortable on his clean, comfortable bus. Our group had evening flights to catch, so the great time management was very much appreciated.

Fantastic tour with Itamar, pretty sure he is the real Moses' nephew! - I was told to read up history and the Bible before visiting Israel. Unfortunately I didn't do that but on this tour the excellent guide Itamar more than made up. He kept us absolutely engaged through the tour and made sure we understood the significance of every place we visited. He made history come alive with his engaging and often humorous narrative. Also loved Miriam who was the local guide in Bethlehem...her efficiency in queue management and ensuring no second is wasted is just unparalleled! Thanks to Itamar, the lovely driver Ahmad and Bein Harim our rather complicated return journey was very well managed with multiple transfers and drop offs, that too on Sabbath. Very grateful and thankful for a fantastic trip!

Amazing day thanks to Dan Porges - My husband and I did a 7 day tour with this company and Dan was by far our favorite guide! He is so knowledgeable, thorough, funny and was always open to answering questions. You can tell he loves what he does and wants the best experience for his group! I would highly recommend booking this tour with Dan. Not only were the sights once in a lifetime places to see, but he truly made the day unforgettable!

Amazing! - This tour was amazing! There were so many spots with bits of history of which I was completely unaware. My guide Dan was the best! He was informative and friendly, which is the perfect combo if you ask me. He even remembered my name for the whole day. 10/10, I highly recommend this tour.

Worth it - In reality we left Tel Aviv, this option is not included. Everything went well, they respected the schedules. The guide Itamar and the driver did a good job. The lunch restaurant was very bad. The place was very hot. We prefer not to eat.
