One of our best trips in Israel and Palestine, we booked it only one day before but everything was so smooth. Definitely the best driver ever, punctual, communicative, very friendly and patient. The tour guide Tia is very nice, knowledgeable, patient, very helpful and thoughtful. Wonderful journey and will recommend to our friends in the future
