Reviews
We are not particularly religious people, so this was more about the curiosity and perceived historical interest for us.
We were not disappointed! The pick up point was easy enough to get to, in a taxi from our hotel. It is a well known and regular starting point for various tours. We were met there by the guides and other tourists.
The coach was a full size, 52 seater, so was air conditioned and comfortable. The time spent at each stop was just about right. Our tour guide, Yael was fantastic - clearly very passinate and knowledgeable and she made the tour interesting, informative, yet relaxed and amusing. She pitched it at just the right level. We were lucky however, as we only had eight people on the coach, so it felt like a much more private, personal experience!
The tour takes in the more well known sights, such as The Western (Wailing) Wall, The Church of the Nativity, the Holy Sepulchre, walk the Way Of The Cross to the final place of crucifixion, the tomb of Christ and a walking tour of the old town of Jerusalem. Finally, after a long day, we had almost two hours at the Dead Sea, floating around in the densely salt water and covering ourselves with the mineral rich mud! (Word of warning - do not get the water in your eyes!). I would have liked perhaps another half an hour here as I wanted to grab a beer in the lowest bar in the world, but we didn't have time.
A lunch stop was included, but at additional cost. The price was reasonable and the lunch was basic, but more than adequate - my wife and I had chicken wraps and chips, with a cold drink.
The only thing we would have omitted or cut short was the trip to a souvenir shop in Jerusalem, although some of the others seemed to enjoy it and came away with various gifts.
The excursion took a full 11 hours from pick up to drop off. I would definitely recommend this if you are short on time and want to take in the more well known sights. If you are interested in spending more time exploring the areas or want more detail out of your trip, then I would suggest booking one of the standalone half or full day tours available for each location.
The tour bus that was used for our trip was also very nice. Our driver was great and ensured we made it safely to and from each of the sites.
I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see these historic places.
Small group, so there was no time wasted. Our lunch stop in Bethlehem was great value, and a huge serving.
The schedule included a good taste of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, with a nice stay at the Dead Sea.
Great driver, very good Tour Guide. Overall I was very pleased .
