Our guide was fantastic, with a great sense of humor and lots of insights and history to share. We'd been concerned about safety but were very assured by the tour group about precautions, and we experienced no concerns on the trip. They also navigated us well and efficiently through busy areas. Improvements: The pick up spot said the address of the building only, and not that it was Abraham Hostels, so there were a few of us on the wrong side of the building as that was where our GPS led us. I'd look for the front of the hostel reception for pickup. There was also some confusion at the beginning, as we had about 3 different people come on the bus and count us or split us or drive us without giving full clarity on where we were going, so a quick overview of the plan (drive, transfer, then meet your guide, etc) would be helpful. The food at the lunch place was less than average. Nice that it was included, but I saw much tastier-looking street food near us that I would have preferred.

it was a very memorable and pleasant experience, all thanks to our guide talmud, he was incredible and an absolute pleasure to meet! saw so much and learnt a lot too, was made sure we were all fed well. i would love to do this tour again when i get the chance, the tour was beautiful!!!!!

Very interesting visit despite the current difficult conditions to enter Jericho, the guide did his best and adapted to the desires and needs of his visitors. Quality lunch. Visit of Bethlehem a little fast.

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 :)

Super experience, would do that again if possible. Our guide was very knowledgeable
