A truly spiritual experience
Mar 2023 • Friends
Fantastic indepth Christian based and tied to passages in the New Testament tour led by the most friendly and knowledgeable Christian Palestinians!! Both tour guides knew how to stay ahead of the long lines and the ride to sites was very informative. Stop for souvenirs at quality store with excellent hospitality and 20 percent discount very nice. The guides knew the New Testament and made life of Jesus and the apostles very relatable. Many opportunities for restroom and water breaks as needed. Check out the cave at “B” location in monetary and Byzantine church, shepherds fields- Beit Sahur first bus stop. Touch the exact location of Jesus’ birth, visit the Sycamore tree included. Pay the extra money for the cable car tour, best views of Jericho and Dead Sea too. Top notch tour, highly recommend! If you choose to tip these very talented, knowledgeable and very kind and patient tour guides, please do so before leaving Bethlehem or Jericho as the Palestinian tour guides unfortunately can not ride back to Jerusalem.

Fun day in the West Bank
Apr 2023 • Couples
We had a great time on this tour. Ameer was a really cool guide to hang out with and listen to; very knowledgeable and kept the group together and moving very well. His perspectives as a Palestinian Christian were really neat to hear. We brought our 5 year old daughter and she enjoyed it also. Bethlehem was what she wanted to see the most on our vacation, and she loved the Mt. of Temptation a lot too. The tour is all in West Bank sites, but we never felt unsafe in the slightest, and the people there are kind and hospitable. Highly recommend this tour as part of a DIY Israel itinerary to get the harder to access areas.

Bethlehem & Jericho Tour
May 2023 • Friends
I had an amazing trip with Elijah Tours. The tour guide Elias and Mohammed did their great job on assisting us, giving us needed information and managed the big group very smoothly. They also know how to lighten up the mood. The bus driver Rami was nice and friendly too. I was surprised when they gave us free chicken shawarma, falafel sandwich and free bananas from Jericho. Im impressed! Thank you Elijah tours! I would definitely recommend this trip to my friends!

Bethlehem and Jericho
Just a marvelous tour we got to the Church of the Nativity very early before many tours had arrived and our tour guid was wonderful. Then we visited the White Chapel and Shepherd’s Field and had time to look and explore ended Bethlehem with visit to a nice store and lunch. That afternoon saw the river Jordan and people baptized and ended the tour visiting Jericho and touring the ancient city a great perspective on the history of the area. Enjoyed the tour and learned so much.

Exceptional tour company
We had an initial admin glitch, so I would recommend dropping them an email the day before to confirm your name & attendance for the tour (we were missing on the list which caused a bit of confusion on the bus). That was quickly resolved and our day began.

We went to the Bethlehem, Jordan River and Jericho tour which was awesome. So much to take on board, so much to see/hear/do. our guides were phenomenal - from sneaking us in to places, to giving us local food to try like fresh dates, the best falafel I have EVER eaten, hummus, breads.....

I highly recommend buying from the tourist shop - they were the best prices we came across through our whole trip and I really wish I’d bought more of the Dead Sea products (my skin felt lovely after)

This tour made me feel like we got to see, hear and taste local life. What more could you ask for from a tour!?! Thanks Elijah tours!

Good experience in Bethlehem, but disappointing for Jericho and the Jordan River
Apr 2023 • Solo
Our guide in Bethlehem had a great sense of humor and energy. We waited (standing) about 45 minutes to be able to visit the grotto in the Church of the Nativity (there was a service going on), so I was glad to have a book with me. The afternoon was more disappointing - the Jordan river site was closed (we think for Passover), which we didn't learn until we arrived, and we ended up spending a lot more time than was necessary in Jericho. Our guide felt bad about the Jordan river being closed, so I appreciate that he was trying to give us some extra experience, but I think most of the group would have preferred to return to Jerusalem earlier. Given the opportunity to choose again, I would look for other tour options for these locations. (We also got no sort of follow-up from the tour company after the tour to acknowledge that we'd had to miss the Jordan river.)

Great trip!
Jul 2022 • Couples
My husband and I visited the most sacred river in the world - the Jordan River. The Jordan River is very picturesque and it exudes that spirituality from it. It was our dream to perform baptism. We were very happy when we did this ceremony. Wonderful place. First of all, it is a river revered all over the world, and by all Christians. It is mentioned many times in the Bible, Jesus Christ was baptized in it, so all believers should visit this place. We advise everyone to go, this trip will give you a lot of impressions.

The guide Kaderi told interestingly, and at the same time without overloading with figures and facts. The bus was comfortable. The time flew by, it was not tiring. We want to express gratitude to our guide. Kaderi had excellent erudition, tact and subtle sense of humor made our tour rich, dynamic and unforgettable. It was very nice how you know how to present the material in a special way. You drew a parallel between historical facts and information taken from the Old and New Testaments, revealing a deep meaning, and history literally came to life before our eyes. We are glad that you were our guide on this trip! We recommend our guide Kaderi. Thank you very much for an unforgettable tour.

Great tour if you want to visit the Mount of Temptation Monastery in Jericho
Mar 2022
Elijah Tours was very responsive when I asked for information prior to booking this tour. My main goal was to take the cable car in Jericho to visit the Mount of Temptation monastery, and Elijah Tours delivered on that. That was a great experience! The tour was well organized in the sense that the various drivers necessary were punctual and well coordinated. We were a bit surprised that the Jericho part was not guided (unlike the Bethlehem part where we did have a guide), but we had a nice driver who took good care of us. We took this tour on March 9, 2022, shortly after Israel reopened for tourists, and there were only 6 people on this tour, and only the two of us did the Jericho part, so we were riding around in a private car with just our driver. It was a bit wild, but it worked!

Interesting tour!
Jun 2022 • Friends
Interesting tour and nice guides! Elijah and his team were very welcoming and showed us the main points. Because we went to different places we had to jump from one to another really fast and we wish we could stay more time on each stop to see the city and know more about the current situation. Besides that, we saw everything that was planned. The guides offered us delicious typical food and deserts. We hope to return one day to discover more and wish all the best to Palestinian people!

Gain a sense of wonder with this West Bank trip
Jan 2023 • Couples
Bethlehem, Jericho and the Jordan River are on the West Bank. Bethlehem plays host to the Church of the Nativity, where Jesus is said to be born, it is certainly a marvelous place for Christians to visit. If you have a spark of belief, you will love it. Jericho is an Arab city, it is said to be the most ancient city in the Middle East. The Jordan River is where John the Baptist baptized Jesus, you can only feel a sense of wonder seeing this fabled waterway, which runs through Irael and Jordan.
