Simply outstanding

Samuel_M, May 2022
I cannot recommend this tour enough. We were in a group of six (much smaller than I expected given the price) meaning the tour was very relaxed and personable, but at the same time, the coverage of all the major sites in Bethlehem was provided expertly. Particular commendations to Elias ad our guide for the Church of the Nativity (whose name unfortunately escapes me). A genuine highlight of our trip to Israel!

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you very much for your warm words and for giving us an excellent review! We are truly glad that you enjoyed your time here. We hope to see you again in the Holy Lands. God Bless.
