Loved our half day tour with Fadi and highly recommend it!! Fadi took us to all the sites advertised and added a few other fun surprise locations! He is from Bethlehem and takes great pride in showing tourists his home city. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We met with Fadi after crossing into the West Bank from Israel. It was super easy on the weekends and the return was also not an issue. Do bring your passport as we did. There is a bus that goes back to downtown Jerusalem but we arranged a pickup in Israel.

Fadi has given us the best experience of our holiday, he gave us an excellent insight on life in Palestine and all the historical sights in Bethlehem. The atmosphere was relaxed, he had engaging explanations of the places we visited. He seems to know everyone in Bethlehem and was very open to adapt the schedule to our needs. We bought a couple of souvenirs and had some food for local prices, no mass tourist traps. Contrasting to the big tours I felt we really understood Bethlehem through a locals eyes. Thanks again!

Fadi is the tour guide you were wishing for! Young, funny, talented yet well aware of the story of his city! He is the experience you need to see Bethlehem through the eyes of the ones who love it and build it everyday.

My boyfriend and I booked a tour of Bethlehem with Fadi. It was the highlight of our trip. It was a short bus ride from Jerusalem and Fadi picked us up at the bus station. He was very knowledgeable, patient and great to talk to. He also seemed to know everyone in town. I can’t believe how much we saw and learned in a short time. It was eye opening. Also with a nice lunch and a tea. Next time we will stay in Bethlehem so we can experience it for more time.
