- The journey times mentioned are approximations, and a change of vehicles may be necessary
- Pick Up at 7:45 in front of the David Citadel Hotel - All our Drivers have your main booking name on their phones, make sure to see your name on the phone of the driver before you go to the Viechle/bus
- After you book the tour add us on WhatsApp for easier pickup we can tell you type of vehicle/driver name in the early morning only at the day of the Tour - Whatsapp number found in the ticket after you book the tour
- Not always possible to visit birth Grotto specially on Sundays and Holidays, Book Small Group to Visit Birth Grotto except on Sundays and holidays.
- The waiting lines to see the birth grotto could vary from 1-2 hours during high season
- During this tour, we won’t be making a stop at the Cable Car or Mount of Temptation. Instead, we’ll enjoy a scenic view of these attractions from the old city of Jericho. This adjustment was made based on feedback we’ve received over the past few years, taking into account concerns about the closure of the monastery, the limited options available in the area, including an expensive restaurant, costly shopping, potential tourist traps, and the fact that it costs 60 shekels to go up the mountain.

Wonderful tour with fantastic guide!! - The tour was amazing and really made our trip a fantastic experience. Our tour guide Elia made this tour an even greater experience and made us laugh a lot. His knowledge about all the sites that we saw really helped us understand the history and the religious importance of all the holy and historical places.
I would highly recommed this tour company. This tour was perfect!!

Great experience, great tour guides with lots of personality and knowleadge - We went for the fully day tour and I would highly recommend this tour. Elias our first tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny and is a great person. The expereince is amazing as we get to visit Bethlehem, the milk grotto church, the River Jordan, Mt temptation and Jericho. Cold water refreshments were avilable for us on the day and the bus also has wifi. The second tour guide was also a great person with lots of knowleadge. All in all this was a great experience and everyone involved did a great job.

Very happy experience. - Very good experience. Air conditioning worked well. Driver drove the bus/van carefully. We had a whole day tour and had two tour guides. One for Bethlehem and another for Jericho. Both were professional and very knowledgeable. They gave us good info on each site. They did not press us for buying anything. We tried to give them a tip, but they disappeared. Very happy with this tour.

Great guides - The guide was great both of them. We split after lunch, one group for Jericho etc and the other tour was smaller and the guide was great on that one as well. Totally worth it.

The BEST!!! - I would say that the places we visited, explanations given to us by Orion our tour guide were exceptional. The knowledge of Orion was indescribable, he knew everything, a great learning experience for my wife and me.
Truly recommend hire Bein Harim, they certainly will give you what you are paying and more. Comfortable bus, clean, fresh with an excellent driver, Eyad!
Would certainly book with them again, no cons, only pros!
Congrats guys!

The full package - Booked this tour for my birthday and I would highly recommend. Elias our first tour guide was such a gentleman, he was funny and knowledgeable. The tour had a rich itinerary and is a great way to tick of things from ones bucket list. In Bethlehem we went into the Church of the Nativity and saw and touched the grotto where Mary gave birth to Jesus! I rode a camel in Jericho, went to the river Jordan and submerged my arms & legs in it etc. On the coach/bus there is air-con, Wi-Fi connection, and cold bottles of water for us all. Lastly, thank you to our second tour guide, he was such an inspiration.

Great trip - fully recommend! - I recommend the Bethlehem/Qasr El Yahud/Jericho trip. The trip was very well organized, there was no problem finding the meeting point. I also contacted the organizer via WhatsApp earlier, everything was fine. Elias was a very good, very nice guide - he was pleasant to listen to, he told really interesting stories (not just dry facts) and included a lot of humorous elements:) After Bethlehem, the rest of the tour was led by George, even though theoretically the further sightseeing was to be done on your own. It was a really extra nice surprise - George tried very hard, definitely thanks to him we know a lot more about Palestine. He was open to any questions and also very nice. Jericho itself didn't captivate us, but Hisham's palace is definitely something worth seeing. We are glad that we could take part in this trip, we are very satisfied and we recommend it :) Of course, you can visit Palestine on your own, but we had quite a tight schedule - and it was great that we saw all these things in one day, without wasting time, with a ride everywhere and a guide.

Great tour guide! - Tour guide Elias was very knowledgeable of the history of the city and the surroundings. Even though we took the tour in Bethlehem, they were able to take us to Tel Aviv per our request.

Lots of faith and warmth. - Check-out was punctual after a quick check-in. Clean and comfortable bus. The program was completed in full and was quite tiring due to the queue at the Church of the Nativity and the heat in the region. Very good guides.
