    Surreal and humbling experience walking through Old City Jerusalem. No matter your religion, please take the time to tour this city. It is vast with lots of history, architecture, and culture. I would actually opt for a tour guide for this city, as there is just so much going on. Wear comfortable shoes and pack your patience! Lots of walking and many many people.

    There are two of these tunnels, one dry and lit, the other totally dark and wet.
    We chose the one with water flowing through it.

    It is narrow: two people can not pass each other without considerable difficulty. It is just five feet high in a couple of places, so I had to stoop in those places. the depth of the water is from a few inches to two feel. It is gently flowing, so relatively fresh.

    If there are people in front of you, be prepared for them to stop to take selfies from time to time!

    I would say a torch with fresh batteries is essential. Preferably a head torch. Oh, and a waterproof camera if you are concerned about it dropping in the water! Otherwise be careful!
    One MUST wear shoes, as the paved stonework under foot is loose in places. Trainers are okay, but of course they will be wet afterwards. We used jelly sandals purchased for use on the beach. They were perfect. We wore shorts which limited how wet our cloths got. There is a changing room, but we did not use it.
    At the end of the gently twisting tunnel are a few gently slippery steps leading out to the small reservoir pool and daylight!

    Wow! what an unusual experience! Make sure you know the history of the tunnel before you go as it makes the experience even more interesting.

    Very well organized: I had to shift the day of the visit and I did it easily thanks to Abraham Tours point of presence (in the hostel).
    Great professionals: formally we were just accompanied by a driver, which actually was a very qualified and passionate guide

    Recently participated in a tour with our Christ Presbyterian Church from Houston Texas led by Shai. The trip was planned by Shai along with the pastors from our church. Here are the key elements that make Shai and his tour the premier guide experience for your trip to Israel:

    1. Organization - No detail is too insignificant. The tour was well-thought out from participant preparation, air travel arrangements, hotel accommodations, meals, in-country transportation and the daily schedule. Everything was first class. Shai is very accomplished in modifying activities to optimize the experience due to weather and crowds.
    2. Knowledge and Passion - As a well seasoned traveler I can attest to Shai’s deep passion for his country and for the complexities of the region. His depth of knowledge about the history, the people groups and their culture, the languages and the religious interactions factor into designing a tour that completes the puzzle for the people he leads. His tour is not a cookie cutter program. Even the meals are coordinated, adding to the understanding of his beautiful country.
    3. Personality - Shai is extremely accomplished in understanding the people in the tour...their interests, capabilities, and idiosyncrasies. He has an easy manner with his group, a sharp sense of humor and amazing patience. He develops a feeling of friendship and family and maintains his humility through the entire process.

    If you are desiring a superior tour that will exceed all expectations seek out Shai. You won’t be disappointed.

    Lital is our tour guide. She is amazing!!! I love her. I know that she has taught is more about the Bible and the country of Israel than I could have ever imaged. Our entire group would recommend that you have her as a tour guide. She is personal, knowledgeable, and has a heart of gold. I can honestly say that she made this tour made it more memorable!

    I went on the Bethlehem and Ramallah tour. It was an excellent tour and I learned so much. It opened my eyes to the plight of the Palestinians. The tour was well organized and I enjoyed all the sights. The guides were fantastic and provided first hand knowledge of what life in Palestine is like. This was a much more comprehensive tour than the other options available. I have already recommended Green Olive Tours to others I know going to Israel/Palestine.

    In all my years of traveling both for work and for play, Dvir is the absolute best of Tour Guides in the history of Tour Guides. Dvir makes you feel welcomed and comfortable from the very start. His knowledge is impeccable and he will take you places you wouldn’t even fathom existed and the history he gives you will make you a better person. Dvir is also The King of Rooftops and The King of One-Liners. The views from the rooftops are incredible and the laughter from his one-liners will make you feel energized. There are many tour guides in the city, however, touring with Dvir is the BEST CHOICE.

    Elchi definitely made my first experience in Eretz Yisrael an unforgettable one. His vast knowledge on all the trips we went, sites we visited, and activities we did added so much meaning to everything. No matter how many trips he has done, his spirit never dies and he continues to make each moment special. His fun and spiritual personality is exciting and inspiring. Elchi is not just a regular tour guide, it is evident that he puts in a lot of effort between the lines to make your trip memorable, fun, and meaningful.

    There are many great guides in and among the Holy Land, but Aviv is one of the best. His historic and biblical knowledge, met with his passion and enthusiasm for teaching are unmet. As a pastor taking a church group for the first time, I was impressed that Aviv was patient and took time to answer any and all questions that people in our group had. I am grateful for my first experience in the Holy Land, and when I go again, I will be sure to have Aviv as our guide.

    It was an extrenuous but self fulfilling activity. We begin the hike 4:30 am and we arrived up at dawn to see the sunrise. We hike more until we begin to rapell on the first dried waterfall. It’s summer and it’s hot but the water from the pool is nice and refreshing. Recomended to have this great experience in the desert❤️
