It was a good tour, tour guides were very friendly. The only downfall was the size of the group. We had I think 28 people and it was way too big. It was very rushed going thru old Jerusalem and Bethlehem and could not either hear all the information the tour guide was given and had to pay attention to who was in front of you from your group so you didn't get lost from the group because it was so crowded. Was not able to really take in the sites. The Masada and Dead Sea was better. I would definitely suggest a smaller group so you get the most out of it.

When looking at the title of the tour, I was drawn to it because I could view the highlights in 2 days. However, most locations was very brief and we didn't get to see enough highlights in Jerusalem.

the tour was on line with my expectations, the tour in the shopping is too long. Being a lot to be seen and a lot of time spent to collect all the tourists from the city, some part of the city of Jerusalem were not visited. It is a good overview but could have been deeper.

The tour was fun and tour guides we very knowledgable. I felt that there could have been clearer information as to pick up and choice / location of overnight hotel.

Masada and the Dead Sea were stunning and our tour guide was knowledgeable, classy, and experienced. She did a great job bringing it all together.

Day One tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem was great with excellent guides in both places._br/_ Day Two going to Masada and the Dead Sea was interesting but the tour leader was poor! She catered_br/_ to the Spanish speaking people, which only made up 1/4 of the bus. The worst part was that in the_br/_ Cable car she pushed one of our group aside to make room for one of her Spanish friends. My opinion_br/_ Is that she is not fit to lead tours.

Tour guides seemed knowledgeable but were trying to make us but from the stores they got some sort of kick back from

It was absolutely fantastic, guides were great and tour small enough to enjoy with the guide, would recommend to anyone, and will probably use them again for a different tour of Israel

Good tour of Jerusalem. Well balanced with Old City and the other sites (Masada, Dead Sea). Really enjoyed the Old City experience, Masada was incredible, and Dead Sea was great to float around in. Not as much to see in Bethlehem. This was my least favorite portion. Tour guides were good. Only downside was the hotel which was very poor quality. Would recommend booking on your own.

Our tour guide to Old Jerusalem lost 2 people at our first stop. He told them to meet us at a place in 15 minutes. Then he stood right where he was and talked for 20 minutes. He would go very long distances and/or leave without checking to make sure we were all with him. The lost ones eventually caught up with us, but it was not due to the guide's efforts....he seemed quite disinterested in their well being. Overall, the Bien Harim morning was pretty disorganized and chaotic.

The tour of the Old City, Masada and Bethlehem were great. Our tour guide with Bein Harim (his name is Aharon Yahav) did a fantastic job. HOWEVER, I sent a email to support@viator.com on October 8 (enquiry #4082080) and a follow up email on October 13 (enquiry # 4092121) about an issue that needs to be resolved. You can call me at 480-239-6721. Thank you, Jeffrey Sloan

Many parts were fabulous-Jerusalem with the Wailing Wall etc, and the trip to the Dead Sea and Masada.--and a great guide-Osi_br/_ However we were promised a visit to the Milk Grotto and Shepherds Fields and only went to the Church of the Nativity and a gift shop! We stood in line for over an hour in the church and this time could have been used for touring. This was very disappointing. I asked our guide and he assured me that extra places were only included in the morning tour._br/_ I signed up and paid for everything. I am not sure I will use you again
