The entire tour was top notch and super well organized! With our guide we had drawn the lucky ticket! His incredibly informative and in-depth knowledge inspired us. Despite all the dynamism, he always remained in dialogue with our group and kept a close eye on them. No :) sheep was lost. We would also like to commend our driver, a fantastic good trip!

I highly recommend this tour. Raed the driver was on time and friendly. He explained it to us the history of Bethlehem while on the way. He was very hospitable. The black van was so chic and clean (mercedes). They will drop you back to where they pick you. Johnny the tour guide gave us pamplets of our itinerary with our names on it. He was very knowledgeable, he knows his craft and very passionate about telling us the history. He will elaborate even to the difficult questions being asked. He was very helpful to elderly and even assist you as to where is the toilet. He will give you time to take photos as you like. In Zuluf store our last stop they gave us alot of gifts like i received 5 freebies (also mom) aside from free coffee, tea and baklava sweets. Twas the best Bethlehem tour so far! Kudos to Elijah Travel & tour. Keep it up. Twas the best retirement gift for my mom.

Amazing experience of true Middle East hospitality. Great and very well prepared guide with huge historical knowledge who helped to understand all the points which we were passing on our way. Also special thanks should go to the drivers who were very kind, talkative and straightforward in sharing insight of the West Bank reality of daily life. Highly recommended!
