A very personal trip in palestine - Fantastic experience! Our driver, Zaid took very good care of us all day in 45c weather! It was the very best way to experience all in one day! We avoided all crowds and say everything! At the end of the tour we went to the tour store and bought a few nice things and they gave us a few nice takeaway gifts! It was a must do. Jack thomason

Amazing Experience, Judah Tours very organized - My husband and I booked a last minute tour to Bethlehem and Dead Sea, the experience was amazing and the guides exceeded our expectations. Judah Tours was puntual and also very organized, can’t remember the guides names but the whole team provided us with a fantastic day trip full of information. They also surprised us with food.I highly recommend Judah Tours.
