Review of the Jerusalem and Bethlehem day tour from Tel Aviv, with Old City sights, holy places, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.

“Our guide was very good and knowledgeable, but the tour wasted 2 full hours on tourist trap shops that were ridiculously overpriced. The lunch place was not good either and overpriced even for Israel. It didn’t cover anything we couldn’t see on our own. 3 stars for guide and a/c bus”

Review of the Jerusalem and Bethlehem day tour, covering sacred sites, timing, guides, walking, value, crowd issues, and practical tips.

“Guide was bored, jaded and in a rush spent more time talking about himself and anecdotes than guiding us on the tour thru the sites. He even didn't want to remain and do the full tour of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, for a Christian woman on the group who came from halfway around the world for a once in a life time trip!”

Review of the Ashdod to Jerusalem and Bethlehem shore excursion, with holy sites, practical tips, walking demands, guides, price, and value.

“This was a major bucket-list trip for my family. We looked forward to this for four years. As Catholics - this day was epic! Unfortunately, the tour guide was abysmal. After a few hours we decided to make the best of it since we would probably never come back. She was rude. Didn’t answer questions and had the audacity to say that Americans didn’t ever experience terrorism. I shared that we lost loved ones on 9/11 - she again said - you have no idea. Ok. That hurt. We felt so rushed. Spent very little time at every stop on the tour. When I asked for more time, she said,…”
