Lorne was the Best Tour Guide! Book and ask for Lorne! You will laugh & be informed!

MSW_MBAgirl, 12-01-2023

Lorne Newman was amazing! He was full of a good balance of being informative, humorous, and organized with keeping us on track to ensure we could gain the mot of our experience since getting lost, being late, or other things could easily occur. If you book this tour ask for joining any tour Lorne is overseeing! You won't be disappointed! As for the tour itself, it was as expected; it was a lot to see in one day but totally worth it! With Lorne you get back to Tel Aviv a good time hour to enjoy the evening and have dinner and time out of even nap then go out on the town.

A well organized tour in 2 of the holiest places of our world

A well organized tour with Liat being very knowledgeable guide and always willing to answer any questions. Also the driver, Mohamed was very good. Great experience overall. Highly recommended

Great tour

The tour was great. It's virtually impossible to see more in only a day. It's perfect for everyone who wants a general tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem but be ready to see everything in a rush mode. There will be no time for souvenirs or something like that although you are shoved in a Elvis Presley Cafe and a selected overpriced shop for more than a hour. The guide, Hava, has a lot of knowledge but we only gave 4 stars because the tour is very biased, politically and socially and sometimes insulting to others who are not israeli.

Good

Good tour. You get to see a lot of the most historical and religious sites in Jerusalem. The tour guide Jonathan was great. But it’s a long day, so you better bring snacks and come well rested.

Not the King we Expected

Don D, 05-01-2023

Our guide, Zahi (Isaac) was a 4/5 and did a good job of leading the group and providing times for meeting to continue the tour. The unexpected items were a 45 min bathroom stop at an kitschy Elvis Themed gas station and a 1 hour stop at a high-priced gift shop with insanely aggressive merchants outside trying to put things in your hand so they could ask for money - all while the local police just looked on. In fairness, since access to Bethlehem is controlled by Palestinian entities, I think the mandatory gift shop experience is a quid-pro-quo. Unfortunately these stops are not mentioned in the tour highlights and cut into the time you could otherwise explore the sites. You will also have a $20-$25 per person lunch (drinks not included) at a place of the tour company’s choosing, which while clean, was banquet room style and a buffet from which they serve you. Would have preferred no stops or much quicker stops to allow more time at the sites with a little time for shopping at the Souks. Seemed pretty clear there were substantial kickbacks to the tour company for bringing through a round of tourists. Would rather they just charge a few buck more and skip the crappy gift shops and allow us to eat from local street vendors and such.
