Excellent tour with Avi as our guide. Very informative and friendly. Kept our group together. Transportation was very comfortable. Only thing I did not like is the fact they drop you off in these tourist shops and spend way too much time. We rush through the historic sites while wasting time in shops that are overpriced. Also same with lunch. They don't tell you you'll be spending a lot for lunch. Israel is pricey for food but they should tell you the cost ahead of time with no surprises.

Great guide and experience! Very detailed description and historical detail. We visited Ramallah and then Jericho. Highlight was Bethlehem and the Church of the Nativity! We were able to get into the cave in less than 15 minutes. The lunch spot was also very well chosen with good meat and side options. Highly recommend this tour!

The trip was more about the geo political background of Israel and its neighbors. The food was awesome. The guide was really detailed about his explanation. And he talked while driving and described every single detail.

Guided tours saves a lot of holiday time, don't need to worry about safety, transport, etc. You can know a lot interesting information from local guides :)

It's one of the best tours we booked so far. You'll get a different glimpse/view of the culture and history behind this area.
