This was a brilliant 6 hour tour. George our driver, was fantastic and drove like a pro around the tight streets of Bethlehem. We had 2 different guides waiting for us at 2 different sites. We got direct access to the church of nativity - otherwise a 3-4 hour wait in line. A lovely walking tour around this area and then a lovely visit to an olive tree shop where we were provided with a free lunch, tea etc. we were in a small group of 2, treated like a VIP and highly recommend this tour. Hotel pick up and drop off too and all about $100 pp (Australian $)Everything was just great about this tour ! Thank you so much Moshi for interesting , informative tour.

I already wrote one glowing review but upon completion I was notified there was a problem and I don’t think the review posted!!! This was a wonderful tour from start to finish! My daughter and I were picked up from our hotel right on time and transported to a location where we transferred to another car for the drive into the Palestinian occupied Bethlehem! We were constantly kept hydrated with offered water which was appreciated due to the warm temperatures. Our guide was able to get us into the Church of the Nativity grotto area where Jesus was born! We went to Shepherd’s field, and other Biblical locations, just wonderful! At the end of our tour we were taken back to, little did we know to the most wonderful Olive Wood Factory and Gift Shop!! This is the place to purchase beautiful keepsakes and souvenirs!! I only wish that this was not our first day for the trip and I had known that this WAS the BEST place to buy!!! If I had only known, I would have DEFINITELY bought more! There was no pressure at any time to buy and they were the most hospitable people, offering us delicious refreshments, comfortable chairs, nice, clean restrooms, and a wonderful, fun shopping experience! I would highly recommend this tour, and wonderful shopping at the end!This tour went far beyond my expectations, first of all the bus was very comfortable and our driver was so kind, when we arrived to Betlehem they offered us some delicious candies and the tour started.

This tour went far beyond my expectations, first of all the bus was very comfortable and our driver was so kind, when we arrived to Betlehem they offered us some delicious candies and the tour started. Our guide Dia was great, he really knew what he was talking about, he explained everything in detail and knew the difficult words for non English speakers in many languages so we understood the whole picture; also he didn’t mind spending a couple more minutes with us (one hour) to take us to a really nice and delicious restaurant. I really enjoyed this tour and knowing this city of the West Bank has definitely been an incredible experience!
