We had Daniel and Ahmed as our guide and driver. Of different faiths but worked together so well in serving Bein Hamin clients. Great representatives of the employing company. We travelled for Sukkot not realising it was also the main Israeli holiday period when schools closed for a week. Roads were so busy - blocked sometimes, or often at a snail’s pace. They worked together to find us the best route back and providing an unscheduled stop for clients’ needs. They were the face of Bein Hamin to the clients and they did a superb job. Would like them to know how grateful we are.

Roy was a great guy and explained things well. He spoke excellent German, which is not what you'd expect. The small group was also harmonious. The food wasn't great, but that's always the case with organized group trips. :)
