We were concerned about this tour as arranging it had been difficult and the confirmation came on a no reply email and contained no contact details except our own! Please correct this for others. But the trip was excellent. The pick up was there ahead of time, the manager at the sorting car park, where we shifted to another minibus was professional and communicated well. Our guide was excellent. The best of all the guides touring Jordan, Isreal and Egypt. Dan was very personable and enthusiastic. He was knowledgeable about infrastructure and nature on our journey to and from the sites and then about the religions and sites we visited. He outlined what we were going to do at each stage and was warmly assertive to get the best for his group of 17 in Jerusalem. He organised the optional lunch well and used good interactive teaching skills to engage us. His distinctive straw hat held up helped us identify him in the crowds. His English was easy to follow. Others on the tour commented on our guides sensitivity to different religions, nationalities and cultures. The tour is fast paced. We had another guide in Bethlehem who was also kind and helpful. The drive in Palestine to see Bethlehem was an education! The tour from Tel Aviv is expensive now in the small group but larger than 17 would be unmanageable. However we really enjoyed and appreciated it. Thanks Dan a great experience. X

We did a tour in January 2023. There were 3 of us and we were with a group who filled the rest of the bus and all knew each other. When we first got on the bus, there was not room for one of us. The guide had a child move from her seat. The group we joined with had many Spanish speakers. So while the guide did speak English, everything was interpreted into Spanish. It was distracting and took a lot more time. The guide in Bethlehem (Adel) was awesome and kept people moving. The guide in Jerusalem would set times to be back and would never keep to them. More time was spent shopping than I would have preferred. It just seemed like we should have been added to a different group and not one that obviously wanted to have a Spanish-speaking guide.
