We were concerned about this tour as arranging it had been difficult and the confirmation came on a no reply email and contained no contact details except our own! Please correct this for others.
But the trip was excellent. The pick up was there ahead of time, the manager at the sorting car park, where we shifted to another minibus was professional and communicated well. Our guide was excellent. The best of all the guides touring Jordan, Isreal and Egypt. Dan was very personable and enthusiastic. He was knowledgeable about infrastructure and nature on our journey to and from the sites and then about the religions and sites we visited. He outlined what we were going to do at each stage and was warmly assertive to get the best for his group of 17 in Jerusalem. He organised the optional lunch well and used good interactive teaching skills to engage us. His distinctive straw hat held up helped us identify him in the crowds. His English was easy to follow. Others on the tour commented on our guides sensitivity to different religions, nationalities and cultures. The tour is fast paced. We had another guide in Bethlehem who was also kind and helpful. The drive in Palestine to see Bethlehem was an education!
The tour from Tel Aviv is expensive now in the small group but larger than 17 would be unmanageable. However we really enjoyed and appreciated it. Thanks Dan a great experience. X
