Very efficient half day tour - The tour guide was very professional and warm hearted. He opened the floor to show us the original mosaic floor in the Church which was prohibited.

Very Knowledgeable tour guide (Eli), efficient way to see Bethlehem - Once across the West Bank/Jerusalem border, you'll exchange cars and initiate the tour. Driving rights for West Bank residents vs. Israelis complicate the pickup/dropoff; it'll seem strange when you swap cars, but the tour team does it regularly and they're safe and efficient. They were raised in the area and they know it very well. Eli (tour guide) and Sami (pickup driver) and George (carving shop rep) did a solid job and hosted very well. Eli studied the tour information in-depth.

Fascinating to see how bible stories and reality mesh - Excellent trip - well organised - transport was decent and the tour was interesting with lots of insight into how the bible stories mesh with real life - even as an atheist it was fascinating and it never occurred to me that the traditional European nativity scene “baby lying in a wooden manger in a wooden stable” makes no sense once you see how the shepherds really lived in the landscape and the reality of what a stable actually was!

Highly recommend! Elias’ humour is unreal - We booked on to do the half day Bethlehem tour from Tel Aviv with a drop off in Jerusalem. We were picked up on time from our pick up location and taken to Jerusalem where we then joined a larger group on a coach. Elias delivered our tour and it was incredibly insightful and pack full of fascinating information! Not only this, but Elias was absolutely hilarious and without him, the tour would not have been the same! Thought the tour, Elias stopped and treated us to falafel and Arabic coffee, both of which were delicious!
Elias, you’re incredible at what you do and are an incredibly friendly and funny guy. Thank you for such a fantastic and informative tour, we will definitely be recommending to friends and family!
