    Most of the itineraries were ok except the guide did not run a head count which is crucial in any excursions. We don’t want to see tourists leaving behind in a foreign country. It is most difficult to imagine. The volume of PA in the bus was too low that we couldn’t hear most of the time.

    We had such a great time on our tour! We saw all of the top sites in Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Lior was our guide and he was so relaxed, knowledgeable and made the trip really enjoyable! I highly recommend Compass!

    Great guides. Short time on important places, and no time to stand in lines to access some of the places.

    This trip was a good experience for us. Our guide, Dia, did a wonderful job of maneuvering us through a very crowded site. He also explained the Bethlehem story to us in ways we had not heard of before.

    I’m giving a 5 in comparison of another tour we took after. The main reason are for the sites - I don’t have any god or religion yet it was very interesting to discover such places. The guide was very nice, not pushy, with a great sense of humor. The Dead Sea was also something to experience. Despite the bad weather we managed to enjoy it for a bit.

    Yoav was an incredible guide! So knowledgable about everything we saw (including things we didn’t see). And was super friendly when answering all kinds of questions. I took the tour when there were some “tensions” but I always felt safe with Yoav. Great tour overall!

    This tour was definitely well worth doing. Our tour guide Ryan was so nice and extremely knowledgeable. You could see it wasn't just a job to him. We were taken to Bethlehem first to see all the sights. The Church of the Nativity was amazing in particular. I have difficulty walking but Ryan was excellent at pacing the tour. After lunch we went to Jerusalem and that was even more amazing . The Church of the Sepulchre was the highlight for me here. I took so many pics and had to go over them the next day to refresh my memory of what we had seen. Once again I can't praise Ryan enough. The next day we were also booked on another tour of Nazareth and Capernium but unfortunately we were switched buses and although it was good too, we missed Ryan. This is a good well organised tour company and I would recommend them.

    Amir Stephen was a wonderful guide. He was funny extremely knowledgeable and interesting. We had a spectacular group who all got along and became friends throughout. The only request I’d have is spending an hour or so more at the Dead Sea.

    A wonderful and perfect half day tour to Bethlehem and Jericho.
    Our tour guide in Bethlehem, Abood aka ‘Uncle Abood’ was incredibly knowledgeable about the places we visited.
    Raed or Raza (Sp?) our driver was also very professional and explained all we needed to know to enjoy our day.
    Highly recommend.
    No meal stops so bring light snacks.

    We enoyed the tour with the family of three being our guides. We felt part of the Palesitinian community. Value for the money was good.

    Apart from the visits to the grotto, churches, shepherds fields and the fences, we were treated with local delicacies. This was not at a store, so it we did not experience a dressed up sales event but rather an exchange of cultures.

    Yes, the tour ended at a local souvenir shop of the community, but this was limited to just 20 minutes with no pressure at all. And to our suprise at the end of the tour there wasn't even an opportunity to leave a tip.

    This was illustrative for the good vibe during the trip.

    Avi was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and fun. He took us to a store in the Palestinian Territory in Bethlehem that was operated by Christians who we were told were a minority in the Palestinian Territory. Israeli citizens are typically not permitted to enter the area so it is predominantly Muslim. We felt perfectly safe and this isn’t a commentary on anything other than the makeup of the community which I really had never considered. He took us to the church of the Nativity. It was incredible. They have an open area where you can see the original floor from nearly 2000 years ago. You can also stand in a line to see where it is thought that Jesus was born. We got extremely fortunate and Avi was able to get our small group in through a back door.

    Next we gleefully headed back to Jerusalem. We toured Mount Olive and learned the interesting history there.

    We finished up in the Old City.

    We saw the Western Wall. I have mobility issues and use an electric mobility scooter. If I hadn’t had those issues we would have gone to touch it.

    We were shown the Church of the Holy Sepulcher where it is thought that Jesus was crucified. The tour there was interesting.

    We had a nice lunch. There were certainly lots of shops in the Old City. It was an experience. Bring shekels.

    We saw the Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Armenian Quarters in the old city. It was interesting.

    Avi was full of information and very willing to accommodate my abilities. I highly recommend his tour. He has a very good van which is clean. He was a very conscientious driver. Very affable and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He has a degree in history and a 2 year training (I think that’s what he said - years) to be a guide.

    This tour was amazing! The tour of Bethlehem was nice, but then I was the only one that went to the Dead Sea. My driver was Ziad and he ended up being so helpful and friendly! Telling me about so much about the areas and even taking me to the Baptism site for Jesus on the Jordan and showed me a little of Jericho on the way to pick up the others who had done that tour. Everyone involved was so friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend!!!
