Elijah Tours was very responsive when I asked for information prior to booking this tour. My main goal was to take the cable car in Jericho to visit the Mount of Temptation monastery, and Elijah Tours delivered on that. That was a great experience! The tour was well organized in the sense that the various drivers necessary were punctual and well coordinated. We were a bit surprised that the Jericho part was not guided (unlike the Bethlehem part where we did have a guide), but we had a nice driver who took good care of us. We took this tour on March 9, 2022, shortly after Israel reopened for tourists, and there were only 6 people on this tour, and only the two of us did the Jericho part, so we were riding around in a private car with just our driver. It was a bit wild, but it worked!BridgeToEverywhere

This review is a bit delayed (sorry!) but this tour was great. Lots of fun and the pace was good. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed all the stories they told. In the morning we had Moses. Then in the afternoon there was a local guide from Bethlehem called Boaz (the teacher)... he's an archeologist. Both of them were wonderful.BeijosGitanos

Our guide was Boas (not sure on spelling) he was humorous and knowledgable and did a good job of keeping a steady pace. I would definitely recommend Elijah Tours and would choose them again!

Guide for Betlem was really good and funny! We did an interesting walking tour in the historical center of Betlem and see also the Nativity Grotto. Amazing also to see the Banksy graffiti. The company gave us a lot of gifts, food tastings, wooden cross or star and a sandwich with falafel! Gerico portion was unguided and really poor. I believed to see the monastery but it was not included. All the rest was really perfect!jean n

We had 3 different tour guides - each an expert in their area, and all were very good. But Rami Ahmed, and Elias Boaz were both truly excellent. They had lots of energy and made a pouring wet day still fun and interesting. Thanks for a great, interesting and enjoyable day!
