Reviews
Enjoyed the whole experience.
It was a long day, full of history and culture education. We had a local guide, a lady Neveen for the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, very passionate and willing to share her stories.
Coach was comfortable, could use a bit of more cleaning, driver knew his stuff.
We stopped at one of Banski wall mural, Jericho tour was ok, stopped for lunch break at a restaurant where food was waiting for us.
Tour has a lot of wasted time and could be organised better. Also we need to be aware of bill climbing on temptation mountain.
What I didn't like:
Souvenir stop - The tour started with a 25 minute stop at the obligatory over priced craft shop, where a 12" wide handcrafted manger scene - although lovely - would set you back $2500, and even ordinary souvenirs were several times the price outside. Time I'd have preferred to have used to wander around Bethlehem, rather than being marched to the Church of the Nativity & back. The advertised visits to the Milk Grotto & Banksy Hotel also did not take place.
Lunch - the lunch stop was at a restaurant/souvenir shop complex together with other coach parties. The arranged meal, for which you get a discount voucher, is a buffet. The other restaurant here refuses to accept you unless in a group, an American couple on our bus were quoted 1000 NIS if they wanted a table just for two! Unless you want the buffet, take a packed lunch.
Jericho - As it was advertised as a Jericho tour, I wrongly assumed it would include the archaeological site of ancient Jericho, rather than just the Mount of Temptation. The lunch stop is next to the entrance, so you could do this in the lunch break.
The places visited on the tour though were all well worth seeing. And as said before, no complaints about the guide, coach & driver.
