About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Roam5687190 contributionsConvenient to see three places in one day.Certainly Bethelem is worth a whole day of visit, but if you need to save time, this excursion going also to Jericó and Jordan river is very convenient. It´s possible to feel a bit of the desert during the trip and the palestinian side of Israel. My tour didn´t go to the cable car and the monastry inJerico. They replaced it with the mosaic Al Hashim, which is magnificent and I really support this change.Written 16 September 2023
- gianlucabT1814QM0 contributionsgreatvery nice trip. we had a guide also for the second part (Jerico and Giordano) even if it was not included in the tour. Second guide, by the way, excellent!!!Written 10 June 2023
- Safari5463860 contributionsJudah tour was great!!I highly recommend this tour for Bethlehem and Dead Sea. The tours run by Judah Tours and they communicate well. The buses start on time and the guide Elias was funny, very knowledgeable. One of the best tour guide we had in Israel. You can bring towel from hotel because they charge 15 shekels for towel rental. The lunch choices were chicken shawarma (40 shekels) or falafel sandwiches. I like falafel sandwich (25 shekels). They both come with drinks. We went to olive wood factory, and the store was great. I bought some souvenirs and the store brought free gift for us to take like wooden crosses, Christmas ornaments. Thank you.Written 19 April 2023

- matthiaskP6464AR0 contributionsEnjoyable tour with espacially kind tour guidesThe tour guides were very knowledgable and were very kind people. Felt always safe and in competent hands which was very important to me. The guides were eager to answer every question that arised and looked on the issues of the visited area with a refreshingly neutral view.Written 17 February 2023
- Pvpvpv0010 contributionsGenuinely caring tour operatorsI had a wonderful tour with them. I had an issue during the trip with losing some important stuff and the tour operators and guide were very patient and supportive to help me with it. They went above and beyond even when they didn't have toWritten 2 January 2023
- Bridget T0 contributionsA great tour and great companyAmazing service from this company earlier today. Accidentally booked the wrong day but they accommodated us on the tour anyway at no extra cost. I have some disability issues linked to asthma/long covid/recovery from a coma and they were kind and understanding through out making sure a guide was with me when I occasionally fell behind so that I didn't get lost. Everyone we interacted with seemed genuinely very nice and kind. Would 100% book with this company again.Written 16 November 2022

- TonWesseling0 contributionsGreat tour, great hosts/guidesWe enoyed the tour with the family of three being our guides. We felt part of the Palesitinian community. Value for the money was good. Apart from the visits to the grotto, churches, shepherds fields and the fences, we were treated with local delicacies. This was not at a store, so it we did not experience a dressed up sales event but rather an exchange of cultures. Yes, the tour ended at a local souvenir shop of the community, but this was limited to just 20 minutes with no pressure at all. And to our suprise at the end of the tour there wasn't even an opportunity to leave a tip. This was illustrative for the good vibe during the trip.Written 2 March 2020
- F1129DMannak0 contributionsWonderful trip with a wonderful guideIt was my first time in Bethlehem and I couldn't have asked for a better trip. Our guide Boaz not only was super knowledgable, but his love for this place and its most famous citizen were also so evident and beautiful to witness. We even got to taste some traditional treats and received so much generosity and warmth on this trip. Thank you so much!Written 11 February 2020
- georgeBarnett210 contributionsGreat Tourhad great time visiting NAzareth so much about this place I love where our Lord Jesus Christ walked, Thank you for this tour Judah Tours , Wish you the best with your new companyWritten 9 February 2020
- f_gyula0 contributionsPleasant trip to BethlehemWe had a pleasant half day tour to Bethlehem in a comfortable small air conditioned bus. A local Christian guide joined us in Bethlehem, and he was very kind and knowledgeable. The tour was focused on the Christian sites, but we also have visited some Banksy graffiti, the Walled off Hotel, and an olive wood carving workshop. The price of the tour was significantly lower than some other options, but I have doubts that they are any better. Unfortunately we did not have time to stand in the one-hour long queue to visit the grotto under the Church of Nativity, but we were tired anyway because of the almost 40 degrees outside.Written 27 June 2019
- 577arianeb0 contributionsAwesome Tour & Friendliest Team EverThis tour was one of the absolut highlights of our stay in Israel. The guide, Elias, is super friendly and knows so much about what he shows you. The tour is extremely well organized, you get to see everything as planned (and more!). The gifts received were much appreciated. Communicating with the team before, during and after this tour was always a pleasure, you really feel that Elias & the rest of the team do this not for the money, but because they genuinely love this land and showing it to others. Five stars & a hearty recommendation to everyone!Written 22 June 2019
