We worked with Shachar to put together a private tour for three days. His customer service skills are exceptional. David Ringler was our guide for "In the Steps of Christianity" . His knowledge was impressive. He made sure to hit all the sights important to us, but also made sure we tasted the various foods enhancing our experience of Jerusalem and Bethlehem. We were blessed with being able to experience Israel in times of peace.

Our trip to the Holy Land was a very moving experience for my family. Shachar, our tour guide, made sure our trip to Bethlehem and Jerusalem was very memorable. We had a full day tour with so many places to see and Shachar made sure we saw what we needed and wanted to see. He even found ways for us to see the Nativity Church even when the line was so long. The moment he said “I welcome you to Jerusalem!”, I was crying and was very moved. We just arrived that day after a long flight and Shachar knew we were tired and hungry but he made sure to go on our pace without missing the things we wanted to experience. In such a short time, we were able to experience Jerusalem the way we wanted to. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour and guide! Thank you, Shachar!

The tour guide was knowledgeable and very attentive to details. Wear comfortable shoes there is lots of walking. Stick a pack of snack crackers in your pocket. The guide provides plenty of water. Enjoy a full day of very educational sites.
