Excellent experience - An interesting and informative day in Ramallah and Hebron. An amazing experience was with Yamen, the tourist guide in Ramallah, who showed us the Yasser Arafat Museum, the city and the Palestinian situation. Later we went to Hebron. Our tour guide Qadri was very knowledgeable in Hebron and allowed us to see the Ibrahimi Mosque, the tomb of the patriarchs in the two sections, and he was patient. Wise in informing us about the geopolitical situation in Hebron, and we talked with Palestinian citizens and an Israeli soldier, and the tour was a good example of the complex situation in Israel, the settlers, and the Palestinians.

Amazing tour! - This tour was fascinating and eye-opening. Everything was organized perfectly. Our guide, Mohammed, was informative and sincere. He even found some students to speak with us in Ramallah. He was very interested in our tour being informative, safe, and interesting. He made me feel very comfortable. I was happy to learn something about life in the West Bank. I felt safe at all times.
