The trip was great and the driver and tour guide was very informative. The whole day went well despite some traffic issues, but great overall! Highly recommended!

The route was relatively short and with breaks at the main objectives so that the trip as a whole was very pleasant. Our guide Mani was very helpful. The sights were very interesting and we received the essential information about them. I particularly liked the stop at the Jordan River because last year I was in the same place but on the Jordanian bank. The monastery of Mount of Temptations near Jericho reminded me the Montserrat Monastery in Spain. The Judea desert was spectacular. During the trip I met interesting people. The tour was well organized and met my expectations. Good value for money.

Very long day but worth the 14 hrs. Guide and driver excellent and managed to keep us on track to visit all the itinerary. My favourite part was Jordan River watching the baptisms this was very special as my baptism was in a swimming pool, even so it was also confirmed of my faith in Jesus.
