This was my only big bus tour of my trip and it showed to me that I am not a big bus tour traveler. I am a history buff but not religious. The general tone of the trip was very “preachy” and I found the guide, Daniel, unapproachable and quite unfriendly. There was nothing special about the tour and we ended up eating in a cafeteria style restaurant in Bethlehem. The food was good but not really the local authentic experience I had on other tours. I am sure many people rave about this tour but it wasn’t for me.

We had a very knowledgeable guide, but overall, I felt the tour was one big tourist trap. I felt like there was more time spent shopping than seeing the Biblical sites. I expected there to be more reverence for the Holy Land. Additionally, the restaurant we were taken to for lunch wasn’t that good.

The driver was very well versed in the biblical tour, he maneuvered his way through Tel Aviv like a pro. I really enjoyed the tour… the lunch spot was not a highlight.. it was just .. meh. I would have enjoyed a minute to walk into the stores instead of just the one.
-
Highly recommended, tour on time, with a highly dynamic, engaging, and entertaining tour guide. Yoav was very knowledgeable, respectful, and accurate with the history. Despite a highly busy touristic site, he delivered on our one to one needs.

Our guide was very friendly at all times. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Jerusalem and how the old city is divided up and run. This relatively short tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem highlights has made me want to spend a longer time exploring these cities.
