We only had one day free, so we booked this tour to see the more important places. The guide was great, and the tour well organized. Just the meeting point was not obvious, the address is correct, and we were told there was an orange sign, but it is really very small, to the right of the door to the building in the address. It really was a good experience for the short time we had, regarding the sights. Some of the people on our tour did get delayed in Jerusalem at times and we had to keep waiting for them, but overall the guide was able to manage diplomatically. The stop at the souvenir shop in Bethlehem could be avoided, and a little more time in the dead sea would be better. The lunch wasn't bad but not great, definitely from the choices the chicken shawarma was not good and I regretted picking it. I agree with spending money in Bethlehem to help out, but the couple of shops next to the lunch place would have been more than enough and are less commercial, and time would suffice, as long as you eat quickly. I certainly recommend this tour if you are short on time and cannot book 2 on 2 different days to have a more relaxing time, and certainly the guide was the best part. Of note, I went with my mother who is 70 but is in good physical shape. I don't think this tour is suitable for people with any kind of mobility issues.
