My bucket list tour to walk where Jesus walked - Very nice tour, both tour guides were excellent. I was hoping to actually go to the Garden of Gethsemane rather than drive by, but all in all I loved it and would highly recommend

Amazing experience seeing all the sites from scripture - We stayed in Israel for 5 days and did three tours. This was hands down the best one. Our guide, Yoav, was amazing. As we walked through the city, he seemed to know everyone. It was like you were getting a tour from the mayor of Jerusalem. He was also super knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about each of the sites we visited. Getting to see Bethlehem and Jerusalem was a bucket list dream of mine. I am so happy that this was the tour I chose to take to make it happen.

Great trip to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. - Absolutely brilliant tour made even better by our guide Avishay. Tour bus very comfortable with excellent WiFi, Avishay our guide was very knowledgeable and humorous and although it was a very long day of sightseeing we were enthralled throughout. Would definitely recommend this tour whilst in Tel Aviv and should definitely be a must if visiting Israel. Many thanks BeinHarim tours for this trip.

Great tour to get to know Jerusalem and Bethlehem - Really good tour to get to know about Jerusalem and Bethlehem from a Christian perspective. Very knowledgeable guide (Abishai) - he explains the significance of each landmark with humour. There is WiFi on the bus so you can stay connected while driving and the driver (Isaac) was very nice and polite.

Average - Why an average review? The guide was friendly and personable. He needed to focus more on the tour. Rather, we spent too much time in shops. The church of the Holy Scepleture was breeze, no time to see anything. It is hot in August so touring is tough on foot. focus more on the tour

Total incompetence and approximation in communications with customers - Ridiculous organization and tourist trap. It offers tours from Tel Aviv to see Jerusalem in one day, you book it and cancel it less than 24 hours before departure. When I replied that I had already received the ticket (and sent it by email as proof) which confirmed the pick up in Tel Aviv in a hotel near mine, they denied the evidence and told me to contact a tour operator for the reimbursement. The ridiculous thing was receiving early morning (tour departure time) from their number +972 52-658-8837 after I found other solutions. Don't take this company.
