Didn't know what to expect, and was greatly pleased from it all! - The trip was great and the driver and tour guide was very informative. The whole day went well despite some traffic issues, but great overall! Highly recommended!

Day trip to Holy Land. - The route was relatively short and with breaks at the main objectives so that the trip as a whole was very pleasant. Our guide Mani was very helpful. The sights were very interesting and we received the essential information about them. I particularly liked the stop at the Jordan River because last year I was in the same place but on the Jordanian bank. The monastery of Mount of Temptations near Jericho reminded me the Montserrat Monastery in Spain. The Judea desert was spectacular. During the trip I met interesting people. The tour was well organized and met my expectations. Good value for money.

Take the plunge and be baptised - Very long day but worth the 14 hrs. Guide and driver excellent and managed to keep us on track to visit all the itinerary. My favourite part was Jordan River watching the baptisms this was very special as my baptism was in a swimming pool, even so it was also confirmed of my faith in Jesus.

Another great trip by Tourist Israel - The guide was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and gave our group of 12 a full day of fun and unforgettable experiences. Tourist Israel is awesome and my agent Ludo is awesome. Thank you everyone.

Best way to visit these spots in a short time - Well organised tour. Great information at each of the sites with a tour guide who was personable, willing to answer individual questions and help you get the best out of the stops. Disappointing not to be able to see the grotto of Jesus's birth and it would be a wonderful addition to be able to visit the cave of Jerome. One of the great things about the tour was the absence of pressure to buy from the shops at the sites. Really pleased I booked it even though I have done similar a few years ago. Based on my own experience, I'd recommend this day trip

Bethlehem Jericho and Jordan Aug 19 2023 - Tour was very good and our guide and driver were excellent. The one disappointment was that because of a special ceremony at the church of the Nativity our group was not permitted into the area where the birth of Jesus took place. As I said extremely disappointing

A must experience in Israel - An amazing trip, especially going to Palestinian controlled areas. Being baptized in the Jordan river was a highlight. Tour company needs to alert customers that there is climbing up steep stairs and that if you go in July, heat can be overwhelming!

Bethlehem, Jericho and Jordan river tour not worth the money - The tour is not well planned , you have first 30 minutes in a souvenir shop, then you go to the church of Nativity and you are most probably not allowed to go to the grotto where Jesus was born , better take a taxi or bus from Jerusalem at Damascus gate if you really want to see the birth place of Jesus. After that you have 1 hour lunch and then you quickly go through Jericho. If we knew we would take only the shuttle not this tour. The Jordan river place was also not as nice as the one with the Galilee tour. The tour guide Badran seems not very interested in the tour that he was leading in my opinion he only wanted to get to the lunch place. Some people did not understand when we were heading to the Jericho , i noticed missing people, the guide was not actually trying to follow who is in his group.
