We are very lucky to have Ryan as our guide in Jerusalem (April 19, 2023). His rich knowledge of history, religion, culture, and even archaeology made our tour a truly enjoyable experience. On our way from port to the site he gave us a wonderful warm up lesson, during the tour he led us to every spot with detailed description, finally on the way back he patiently answered all the questions of the tour group members.
Strongly recommended!

Our first stop was Bethlehen where our guide turned us over to Palestinian guide. First stop in Bethlehen was a store before seeing anything. We were left to shop and explore the huge store for a very ling time, much too long. By the time we got to tbe Church of the Nativity, we didn't even have enough time to line up to see the tiny nativity area. That was a huge and unforgivable mistake on tbe part of the guide. Such a disappointment to miss the highlight if the trip. I am so unhappy with that.
