Picked up at 8.30 but then shuttled to another bus and didn't set off until 9.45. The places we visited were nothing special. The best part was lunch which was superb. Nothing worth seeing in Jericho

Our tour guide Ami was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and very attentive to us. The man has two PhDs in Israel Archaeology so his level of knowledge went on and above any tour guide I have been with before. I would definitely tour with Ami again. Tour was the Saturday of Easter Weekend (April 16th) BTW - the overall tour was well organized and seamless. The destinations (Bethlehem and Qasr El Yahud definitely met my expectations. As a Christian these are must sees in the Holy Land The Jericho portion was a pleasant surprise. The destination was not a driver for my booking the tour but it was super well presented by our tour guide which made it fascinating.Itamar was an amazing guide - went over and above what a tour guides duties are - had an amazing day thanks to him & the Bein Harim company - definitely book with them

Reservamos la visita a Belén y Jericó en español, pero el día de la visita nos encontramos con que era en inglés y no teníamos ninguna noticia al respecto. Nos engañaron. Los guías además estaban enfrentados. El autobús se perdio varias veces. No recomiendo para nada esta empresa. Además de que era cara la excursión, en otros sitios era más barata. We booked the visit to Bethlehem and Jericho in Spanish, but on the day of the visit we found that it was in English and we had no news about it. They tricked us. The guides were also facing each other. The bus was lost several times. I do not recommend this company at all. In addition to the expensive excursion, it was cheaper and best elsewhere.
