Pay the money and go on a private for a TRUE Small Group tour. Spent majority of day counting people. Did not get to buy the type of souvenirs I wanted since they controlled where we stopped and when. Did not get to see what I wanted in Bethlehem since they controlled where we ate for lunch. No choice - just pay for a buffet. We are picky eaters and wanted to see more of Bethlehem. Would have rather had free time then their control. Tour guide did the absolute best she could so not her fault. It is the companies for controlling every aspect of the tour.
