The Israeli guide acted very disinterested and kept repeating few same bits of Israeli history related to events of 1967. Many questions were met with "I will talk about it later" - yet later failed to materialize. It felt like the guide memorized few lines but did not really have any breadth of knowledge or even desire to share any knowledge that he might have. Even though it was a private tour for only 3 people we were not able to add a stop that was right next to the old city. In the meantime the stops that were listed in the description never happened at all. Overall considering the price of the tour, it was a very unsatisfactory experience, redeemed only by friendly and enthusiastic Palestinian guide and driver that were used during the Bethlehem part of the tour. I would absolutely recommend going elsewhere and would not consider this operator for any future tours.
