The day tour to Jerusalem and Bethlehem was very interesting. The group was quite small and we got a great overview of the history and tensions between Israel and Palestine. Amir Call Or was a great guide. I would book a tour with him again anytime. For the Bethlehem part and we also had a local guide who arranged for us to visit the tomb of Jesus without waiting in line. I highly recommend Bein Harim Tourism Services.

The monastery was open but not the churches due to covid. We were allowed to enter to see the biblical burning bush. The well were moses met his wife. It was such a beautiful spot. The hike up the mountain took 2 hours. It is not an easy hike and luckily there were a few Bedouin huts open for snacks and drink. The hike is tough as you get close to the top. It is well worth the trip

We took a tour to Jerusalem with Hallelujah Tours and Avi. Needless to say, he was beyond amazing. He was fun, brilliant with the history of the land, the religions and people of Jerusalem past and present, historical buildings, architecture, language and the origin of names in religion. We learned so much and had so much fun. He is great with languages and spoke English, Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic and a little French too. We went to many of the must-see sites of old Jerusalem and the Machane Yehuda market. We had plenty of time at the Western Wall, walking through the markets in the old city, visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and eating lunch, dessert and getting hot drinks. We had time to shop too and enjoyed being in such a vibrant city. Avi truly felt like he was a family member. We would definitely take another tour with him and use Hallelujah tours in the future!!
