My husband and I were on a 3-day Private Tour with Michael in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jericho. It was just perfect: Michael has a broad knowledge of the regions history, archeology and religion and he provides it in a relaxed atmosphere, always ensuring our well-being. We enjoyed every minute with him. Hopefully we can go back to discover other sites in Israel/Palastine - of course with Michael.

Michael was an excellent guide. We visited Jerusalem for a day, and wanted to see the historical and religious sites.

We scheduled a one day tour of Christian sites in the Old City of Jerusalem. Our tour guide, Ibrahim, was extremely knowledgeable about Bibilcal history and of key archeological facts related to the various periods of construction and rebuilding in Jerusalem since the earliest days of Christianity. We did a lot of walking, and visited most of the places important to Christians. The tour can be customized to meets your physical ability to walk through the. It's, which requires climbing many flights of stairs. A most memorable tour indeed.
