Fantastic visit
We took a day private tour from Jerusalem to Bethlehem with our three small kids, the youngest in a stroller.
All was perfectly arranged, the car transfer, the meeting with the guide, the pace of the visits, the explanations. Everyone was very patient and welcoming. The churches are extraordinary and it was such a blessing to go around Christmas time.
The visit at the end to the Zuluf factory and shop was great, everyone was so friendly and patient.

I booked this tour last minute from Jerusalem. Basically the night before since we had a later departure and wanted to fill the morning.
We were picked up promptly at 0700 from our pick up point. From there our Driver gave us a well informed history lesson from the area and the dynamics of the region. Dropped off in Bethlehem with our your guide taken to see every inch of the Church of nativity and the milk grotto. Then into another car to see the shepherds field. I cant believe how organized this was especially last minute moving cars and guides. The tour company treated us as family and not being a very religious person they still welcomed us as if we were. Highly recommend this tour !!!

I had a fantastic experience with this tour. We visited the church of nativity with Dia, the most knowledgeable person about religions, about the area, about history. An archeologist and specialized in restoration. I would recommend it to anyone that asks me. He speaks great English, would take us explaining everything, giving us special details about the church. Precious. Our driver from Jerusalem was the best and most gentle. He talked to us all the way from the beginning, with a geopolitical perspective of the region, historical facts and an opinion towards peace. It was indeed memorable. He’d stop for us to buy gifts, help is see what we wanted specifically, explain the little details about the traffic, the holidays, take us to the Mount of Olives. Ask for Rocco because he’s truly magnificent.
