A very good guide, Daniel, extremely knowledgeable about the history of visited places as well as different traditions. The tour was well organized, communication well done with the group members. It was good that the way the important places were scheduled to be seen was done such that to minimize being stuck the crowds. Very nice tour, the visit will determine you to read & study more about what you saw.

Thanks to our guide, Yoav Malach, we spend a great time in Jerusalem. Yoav was very knowledgeable, good-humored and reliable. Yoav and Guy (the driver) guided us very well. And lastly the pickup and drop off was well organized.

Dorit was a wonderful guide. The only drawback was waiting for several in the group who failed to rejoin the group at the appointed time.

The tour was ok Not really what we expected we would be driven around city’s modern areas

outstanding guides!! Punctual travel! Coffee stop in morning could be better organized.
