Very nice experience, even if in the reviews and in the described program there was the presence of a tour inside Bethlehem / wall and Banksy hotel (which we did not do, considering the huge waste of time inside the souvenir shop ). The rest of the tour is really intense and interesting. Above all, the truly impressive Mount of Temptations.

Really well organized tour. Pick up was smooth. Bus was nice and roomy. Bus guide was knowledgeable and shared scriptures along the way. We met with a local guide in Bethlehem, which was a great advantage as we were almost at the front of the line in the Church. A bit of waiting around in a souvenir shop was fine. We also met with a local guide in Jericho. The trip to the mountain was very very nice, and the tour of the monastery as well as the views and the steps were really nice. Lunch restaurant was the best we have tried on any of our trips. Jordan included an option of being baptized in the Jordan river, including renting clothes.

It was a great experience mostly because of our guide. He was no doubt the best guide we have ever had a chance to meet. His knowledge of the sites, the information he shared but above all his care for every person in the group, always looking for a way to meet our needs. I would say he was always trying to make sure we were safe, satisfied with the trip and happy about the journey.
