Very comfortable bus and guide was excellent. We had a family on board that was disrespectful to our guide because they whispered loundly to each other when he was trying to speak. They had to be hushed on several occasions and it was distracting. One member of their group had a small dog in her bag/purse. Although the dog was cute, there are certain Holly places the dog was not allowed and this was again a distraction from the tour. Overall, I’d recommend this tour. Great way to see Jerusalem’s highlights on a 6 hour tour.

Pünktlich abgeholt, die Fahrt war gut und der Tourguide sehr verständlich. Wir haben viel gesehen innerhalb einer kurzen Zeit, was auch sehr ermüdend war. Teilweise waren es zu viele Infos für die kurze Zeit, sodass wir nur oberflächlich die Besichtigungen anschauen konnten. Während dieser Tour führten sie uns auch in ein Souvenir-Shop welches unser Erachtens unnötig Zeit konsumiert hat. Was auch sehr schade ist, dass diese Tour keine Rückfahrt bietet.

Una guida a Gerusalemme è d'obbligo. Con questo tour la giornata finisce a Gerusalemme (occhio non vi riporta indietro a Tel Aviv). In ogni caso, la guida era davvero molto preparata e simpatica; non è facile muoversi da soli per Gerusalemme ma soprattutto capire. Consigliata.
