Amazing!! Elias was a very good and nice tour guide. Me and my two friends went on the tour in early 2021 while the country was still closed to tourists. Even though it was just a small group of 3 of us, Elias still arranged all of the transportation to/from Bethlehem and gave us the tour despite it not being enough for him to make a real profit. He was super accommodating and gave us snacks, and little souvenirs. The tour was very interesting and informative. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to tour Bethlehem.

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.
