Fantastic Trip
Simon_O, Mar 2023
Fantastic experience! We got to see everything that was expected and more. The guides were excellent, they got us into to see everything with little or no queuing. The Olive Wood shop was great too, no pressure to buy and they gave us free bottled water, baklava, coffee and tea. We spent a small amount in the shop and they gave everyone on the tour several gifts. We felt very safe the whole time. Bethlehem is a lovely place, so quiet compared to Jerusalem. I would also recommend the optional lunch which was excellent value and can be eaten on the bus before returning to Jerusalem. I would definitely look at booking with this company again if ever in Jerusalem.
5 Star tour!
Janet_F, Mar 2023

Bethlehem Half Day Tour
Gary_C, Feb 2023
Friendly and safe trip from Jerusalem to Bethlehem. Tour guides are professionals! Highly recommend.
Perfect Tour for Bethelem (Unique tour in the afternoon)
Oscar_C, Jan 2023
The agency was willing to do the tour just for me. I enjoyed this tour a lot, and Jonny my guide in Bethlem went straight to the point by explaining to me the most essential facts about the points visited. The tour had the perfect length, and all that I learned and see exceeded my expectations. Remember that this is one of the few tours that allow going Bethlem in the afternoon, allowing you time to have breakfast at your hotel, and do something in the morning.
Massive thanks to Amir
Daryia_P, Jan 2023
We would love to massively thank Amir for being so professional, considerate and attentive to us! Thank you, Amir, for your support and attention during our visit to the Church of Nativity. We’re so happy that you were with us during the visit to the Holy Land.

Got exactly what we wanted and expected
Anonymous, Dec 2022
We were with a group tour and the Bethlehem portion got cancelled so my husband and I went on our own. Wasn’t sure what to expect because let’s face it $50 in the US doesn’t get you much but it was exactly as said and excepted, picked up right outside the hotel we were staying in, returned same location. Tour guide and manager was very nice, van driver not much personality but got us everywhere safe. Saw the sites listed, optional food prices so much cheaper than in Israel, get falafel sandwich. Thanks for experience.

Excellent tour
Lin_T, Nov 2022
I had a wonderful experience with this tour on Nov 3rd 2022. Our guide Natalia tried her best to get us through the long waiting lines faster. As a result we are able to see everything during the tour. The tour operator is very warm and hospitable to us too.
Exactly what we hoped and paid for.
Mike_N, Oct 2022
I'd read some reviews on line and to be honest was a little dubious as to what to expect. However, the pick up, journey and the visit went like clockwork. We got exactly what we hoped and paid for. Our weeks itinerary meant we could only do the half day, but the experience was worth it.

Great and interesting tour guides
KierenJohn_O, Oct 2022
We found this tour interesting, even as a non-religious couple in our late 20s. Elias and Dia were both very knowledgable, providing interesting facts about all the sites we visited. Unfortunately we didn't get to visit the wall, as there had been some tensions in the preceding days. However, this decision was made for our safety and wasn't any fault of the tour guides.
Don’t miss an opportunity to visit Bethlehem
TerryandSusan_M, Oct 2022
This tour was more than a visit to Christian holy sites associated with Christ’s birth. Our very capable guide was Lahdo, an Aramaic-speaking Christian who was born and lives in Bethlehem. He also addressed the current situation of life in Bethlehem, which is a small city on the West Bank and under the Palestinian Authority. Excellent guide. Excellent tour. Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience
Chloe_M, Oct 2022
Absolutely wonderful! I would definitely do it again. The tour guide was great , very Patient and kind.

Highly recommended tour with a great guide
Rick_M, Jul 2022
Throughly enjoyed this tour, we covered a lot in a short space of time... was really good to also see the West bank wall which I hadn't expected as part of the tour. Tour guide was very informative and did a great job of explaning the israel/palestine conflict without being biast as other tour guides seemed to be. We got to see many of the major sites of Jesus in and around Bethelehem and the tour guide was very good at explaning where everything had taken place. I'd throughly recommend this tour to Bethlehem and if I had more time I would have chosen the company for the extended tours they offer.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
