Overall, the trip was good. However, the guide was 40 minutes late and the coach had to pick him up on the way. Going by previous reviews, this is not the first time. We don’t like being forced into souvenir shops the trip could’ve started an hour later than it did and we saw very little of Bethlehem itself. There was a huge amount of information, and I think the guide needed to Break it into smaller size chunks. I think he spoke non-stop for an hour on the coach and people just switch off. However, his knowledge was very good

Trip was very interesting. There are extra fees like lunch (20usd), cable car (20usd) which should be included in that high price they ask. A lot of stops for friends shops help. Dirty bus inside and also hard to see from windows. Brandon is a great guide and the guide makes a trip, so we were satisfied.

Generally very nice and enjoyable trip. Palestinian guide was awesome, nice personality I only wish we could spend more time in Bethlehem. Jericho cable was nice with nice view and monastery. Jordan river was nice to see, nobody was doing baptism so it was fast. But it was hot day so we could sit in the shade. We had some extra time so we stopped at Mt Olive for some coffee and more views. Our guide for Israel part was very nice and knowledgeable too. Lunch at the top was nice, buffet tables so we could pick and eat as much as we can.
