Great tour lots of destinations in one trip.

Hi the trip was awesome lots of diffrent locations to see and to fload in the Dead sea was awesome we had a great time all in all but was a bit sad that the program got changed from (Qumran to the Jordan river) but other than that everything was great and fun :)

The tour is operated by Tourist Israel tours. They haven't organized it well and we didn't have time to visit Qumran. The bus arrived half hour later than it supposed to and we were taken to a shop with souvenirs first thing in Bethlehem before visiting anything. I had to wait like 40 minutes so the bus take us to the Nativity Church. The driver was rude with everybody stressing the guides with phone calls and putting pressure on them. Otherwise the places we visited are fascinating and the guide from Jericho was really nice and give us a lot of information about the place. I recommend booking a half day tour for Bethlehem as the 1.5 hours allocated on this tour is not enough and a full day tour to Jericho, Dead Sea and Qumran.

Spectacular experience, spectacular guide

Our guide made this tour so wonderful. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. I normally don’t do group tours, but because our guide was so exceptional, I am now inclined to do tours in the future.
