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.

AIT booked our Israel/Greece Cruise including airfare in January 2020. A month before departure Covid-19 destroyed our life time plans. Regan Burns was the angel that saved our investment. Through Regan's effort, AIT fully refunded our trip cost in April 2020. However, the airlines refused to refund our airline costs unfortunately ($4300+ round trip). Last month Regan informed Theresa and I that United and EL AL had informed AIT a one month window was now open for a refund for airline tickets AIT booked for a nominal processing fee. She informed me just before Christmas 2020 that our refund had been processed. Thanks to AIT. and especially REGAN BURNS, 97% of our trip payment was refunded. If you thinking about a trip to the HOLY LAND REGAN and AIT are the best. Love you all. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Best, Ron and Theresa Glover

The day tour to Jerusalem and Bethlehem was very interesting. The group was quite small and we got a great overview of the history and tensions between Israel and Palestine. Amir Call Or was a great guide. I would book a tour with him again anytime. For the Bethlehem part and we also had a local guide who arranged for us to visit the tomb of Jesus without waiting in line. I highly recommend Bein Harim Tourism Services.
