We had the worst guide - Avishay during our Jericho visit. It was not a pleasant experience. He brought us to this Temptation Restaurant where he told it’s only 50 shekels for a buffet. He was pressuring everybody up until we were about to pay. We ended paying 192€ for that crappy lunch. Then he just spent our time going to shops and he complained a lot for asking to bring us to Tel Aviv even if we already told the tour operator of this ahead. He has said wrong information too about the places we visited, and funny thing is one from our group knows the places better than him.
Beinharim is great, we used them for 3 tours but it was a horrible time with the tour guide assigned to us.

Our tour was lead by Itamar who was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, which added to the pleasurable experience. The group atmosphere allowed for interactions with people from all walks of life and interesting inter-faith discussions. As a solo-traveler, the small group was a perfect way to explore and learn about the Jewish historical sites of Jordan, Jericho, the Mount of Temptation, and the Dead Sea which I may not have felt comfortable visiting alone.

1. The tour actually begins at 9.30am at Mount Scopus and not 7.55am.
2. The tour spends more time visiting shops where the main company probably earn commission.
3. There's a historical Greek church in the caves of the mountain of temptation but the tour prevented us from visiting this but was happy for us to spend significant amount of time in pointless shops.
4. The tour ended on the day of the Jewish parade, which everyone knew was taking place. The tour company did not account for this eventuality and left all us stranded circa 1 hour from the centre of Jerusalem. Its fine for me but there were people with disabilities on the tour who were left stranded.
In summary, if you're interested in spending 100 dollars per person on visiting shopping malls then this is the tour for you.

That was awesome. Our guide, Joseph Haviv was great. He has a huge knowledge about Israel, sense of humor and great personality. He has shawn us not only the greatest view in Jerusalem, but also everything we needed to see in Jordan, Dead See and Jerycho.
Organization was excellent - with good bus, everything on time.

Unbelievable experience,great memories and great guide. Yosef Haviv(our guide) was incredible.
He showed us all the fantastic places of Jericho and not only. He’s funny,always with a smile on his face,well studied with knowledge about the ancient/present history of these religious places. 100% I recommend you to book a tour and travel “back to time”!!
