Smooth, well organized day trip - We did the Bethlehem, Jericho and Jordan River day tour from Jerusalem and the whole day felt smooth from start to finish. The pickup and check-in were punctual, the bus was clean and comfortable, and the driver was careful. Bethlehem was the highlight for us, the Church of the Nativity and the old town were powerful to see in person, and the guide shared a lot of history in a way that was easy to follow, with some humor that kept the group engaged. The stop at Qasr Al-Yahud was a very special moment and felt genuinely peaceful. Jericho itself was interesting, and Hisham’s Palace was worth the time. Long day, but well paced.

Excellent service, great... - Excellent service, great guides … George and Elias did a fantastic job on the Bethlehem part of the trip and Zaid was awesome on the Jordan River and Jericho parts of the trip. The trip to Zuluf Souvenir Shop and factory was very nice. They offer very good products at a reasonable price and absolutely no sales pressure at all. They even give you free gifts and soft drinks when leaving. I strongly recommend this store.

An unforgettable day in Jericho, Jordan and Bethlehem. - Today I had one of the most beautiful experiences of my life! I made the tour of Jericho, River Jordan and Bethlehem and I can only say that it was simply wonderful. The drivers were very attentive and helpful, always with a smile and willing to help. From the beginning I felt welcome, like I was home. The most exciting point was the baptism in the waters of the Jordan River—a moment of deep connection with God. I felt as if He had prepared this gift especially for me. It was a blessed day, full of peace, joy and faith. I come home with my heart filled with gratitude. I highly recommend this tour to those looking for a spiritual and unforgettable experience in Israel.

Awesome experience at the Monastery Montserrat - I want to express my most sincere gratitude and admiration for the tour guide, Lorena, who was in charge of our group during our visit to Montserrat. From the very first moment, she proved to be incredibly dynamic and charming with everyone, creating a very positive and friendly atmosphere. She made the experience not only informative but truly fun and engaging. ​Her knowledge is remarkable; she shared valuable information and interesting anecdotes about the monastery and its surroundings, which truly enriched our understanding of the place. Lorena is a top-notch professional who made our excursion an unforgettable memory. Chapeau!

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.
