Once in a life time, experience the history if Jesus in the place where he lived and grown up. It was very safe, and the loval guide was amazing! I felt the love of Jesus and these holy lands and it was very emotional joy!

A great visit of Bethlehem the nativity the grotto with a special christian Arab family. Great hospitality safe and we'll organized thanks

The Dead Sea is an endorheic lake located in the Jordan Rift Valley, a geographic feature formed by the Dead Sea Transform (DST). This left lateral-moving transform fault lies along the tectonic plate boundary between the African Plate and the Arabian Plate. It runs between the East Anatolian Fault zone in Turkey and the northern end of the Red Sea Rift offshore of the southern tip of Sinai. It is here that the Upper Jordan River/Sea of Galilee/Lower Jordan River water system comes to an end.

The trip to Bethlehem on 9/20 2023, with the visit to the Shepherd's Field, the Church of the Nativity, the Milk Grotto, the tour of the old town of Bethlehem and the subsequent trip to the Dead Sea with the opportunity to swim is one of the most beautiful experiences of our trip to Israel. In particular, the tour guide Elias enriched the trip extraordinarily from a human and intellectual perspective. Elias knows how to impart historical knowledge in a perfect way, but never forgetting the humor in the seriousness of the topics. An unforgettable encounter. I would book exactly this trip again every time I visit Israel, always on the condition that Elias is available as a tour guide in Bethlehem. Thanks a lot for this wonderful day to a fair prize.

Best half day tour focusing specifically on Bethlehem. We visited all the most important landmarks and had the opportunity to go down into the birth grotto 🙏🏼 Johnny is the best tour guide!

This tour from Elijah Tours and Travel lives up to it's many 5* reviews... it was everything we expected when I booked it. The organization, the scheduling, the transport, and the stops were all perfect. It wasnt a huge group, which was very nice. Our guide was for Bethlehem was "Elias" and he was very very good. He sprinkled in humor (Saint Elias) and he kept the group moving at a very steady pace...keeping stragglers (Ann---na!) in check. His local knowledge as a Palestinian Christian was quite illuminating. He did not shy away from alternative views from other people on the tour...and I respect him greatly for that. This is a very active tour...lots of walking...especially in the old section of Bethlehem. (which was what we hoped for) One caveat...better have a good bladder on this one....it was hot and lots of water was necessary. Go at every stop...and grab that extra falafel...thank me later. The Dead Sea part was for us-- perfect. You really only need a couple hours here. Lockers are cheap, bring a towel. The floating experience and the warm mud was incredible. I wasnt aware of the all the warnings about the water and its potential toxicity...so read the literature and keep your face and ears out of the water. Make sure and verify departure time from here...dont be rushing from the well stocked Dead Sea bar to the lot when its time to leave like we were :) lol Thanks R

We booked on to do the half day Bethlehem tour from Tel Aviv with a drop off in Jerusalem. We were picked up on time from our pick up location and taken to Jerusalem where we then joined a larger group on a coach. Elias delivered our tour and it was incredibly insightful and pack full of fascinating information! Not only this, but Elias was absolutely hilarious and without him, the tour would not have been the same! Thought the tour, Elias stopped and treated us to falafel and Arabic coffee, both of which were delicious! Elias, you’re incredible at what you do and are an incredibly friendly and funny guy. Thank you for such a fantastic and informative tour, we will definitely be recommending to friends and family!

The visit to Bethlehem was very beautiful, to see the cradle of Jesus Christ and to see the place where he was born, especially with an amazing tour guide, who explained to us the history of Bethlehem, and answered all our inquiries, even we were a large group of tourists, All the places I saw, including the Milk Grotto and the old city of Bethlehem and shepherds field . When we finished Bethlehem and headed to Jericho, even though I knew that the trip would be without a guide, I was disappointed Because I relied on previous reviews that were excellent, however( I preferred to book a trip with a guide). We had George’s companion with us, but his information was minimal, and we relied on some guidance from sites such as the Old City In Jericho To remember the story of Joshua from the Bible, and Hisham’s Palace. I advise everyone to book and visit this tour , but it is better to be with a guide in Jericho so that you will not be disappointed. Thanks.

Best ever experience, the guide guy was very knowledgeable and funny... really enjoyed this tour to Betlehem😃

The whole process of being collected from Tel Aviv, taken via Jerusalem to Bethlehem seemed seemless. Our tour guide Elijah was just full of information and details about history but also current life in Bethlehem. Definitely recommended.

The views were amazing and hospitality with ELIJAH TOURS made the trip stress-free. Great Wi-Fi and charging ports Immaculate buses and small VIP TRANSFER BUSES Colorful itineraries Their service is phenomenal I could not ask for more Great tour Guide Elias Boaz , with a natural sense of humor and very knowledgeable about the Holy Land. We were laughing all the way of the tour . They also took us to a sourvenir shop with reasonable prices and lunch. Well done Team Elijah Tours

Excellent trip to Bethlehem. Our tour guide Johnnie was so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Lots of time to see everything and ask questions. Air conditioned mini bus with professional driver. Ended up at a lovely gift shop for coffee and pastry and no pressure to buy but lots of beautiful gifts. Learnt a lot about the Palestine situation and how it impacts people, Highly recommended.

We went on the half day private tour of Bethlehem with Johnny ($250 USD total for my husband and I plus tips). Everything was easy to arrange with Elijah Tours online or through WhatsApp and the pickup and drop off all went smoothly. We requested a 9:30 am pickup at our hotel in Jerusalem. Our very nice driver was right outside waiting for us. He told us to bring our passports but when we got to the border crossing our car was just waved right through. We never even had to pull out passports out. When we got to Bethlehem our guide, Johnny, was there waiting for us. It's super important to have an experienced guide who knows how to get you in and out of each site on a schedule so you don't get stuck waiting an hour when they close the church at noon, or waiting when a procession is coming through. He was able to get us right in to the underground cave beneath the Church of the Nativity where it is believed that Jesus was born. If we had not been on this private tour the line would have been at least 2 hours. The sites we visited were Shepherds Field, Church of the Nativity, St Catherine's, St Jerome's Cave and the Milk Grotto. We also stopped at a Banksy mural on the side of an auto repair shop along the road. Johnny shared an incredible amount of knowledge about every site and he delivered it in a moving and thoughtful way. After the tour we ended at a souvenir shop and bought a few olive wood carved hearts and crosses, etc. There's really no pressure to buy anything if you don't want to since your ride back to your hotel is already there waiting for you. We were back at our hotel by around 1:30. We were so glad we went ahead and took this tour. Elijah made it easy and it was a wonderful experience. Johnny is the best!

A great 1/2 day in Bethlehem! Elijah was an engaging and very knowledgeable guide and made a point to include everyone. No question was too hard or too simple. He had so much patience with everyone!

We had an amazing time with our guide George in Bethelem. He is so kind, patient, and funny. We really recommend this tour, we arranged one day tour for Bethelem, Dead Sea and Jordan river.
