The dead sea was the highlight. L”

“I highly recommend the guys from Elijah Tours for Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Elias and his team from Zuluf go out of their way to make you feel safe and comfortable, while giving a thorough and expert guide through these ancient cities. I did the Bethlehem + Jericho tour, and we had time at the end of the day to go to the Dead Sea too! We stopped at the Shepherds Field, Olive Wood factory, ate local food, and stopped for local sweets. Hearing local music on the radio, learning the geopolitics of the region, and seeing the AMAZING landscape made the trip even more fulfilling. Ask for Elias @ Zuluf…”

I contacted the tour operator who would refund the money, but unfortunately I never received the money back. Cruise schip had de dag ervoor haven gecanceld en ben geld verloren doordat ik niet in de mogelijkheid was om op zee te annuleren. 2 personen volle pot geld kwijt. Heb contact gehad met touroperator die geld zou terugstorten maar spijtig genoeg nooit geld terug”
Haifa cruise day trip to Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee, with Annunciation Church, Beatitudes views, Capernaum, and Jordan Baptism.
“Wij zijn op 8 oktober 2023 vanuit Haifa om 09.30 uur aan de excursie naar Nazareth begonnen. Voordat wij daar aankwamen werd het bezoek afgebroken in verband met beschietingen door Hamas in het zuiden van Israël. Andere groepen zijn nog wel in de geboorte kerk geweest. Ik heb verzocht aan GJG een restitutie van bijvoorbeeld 75% van de kosten omdat slechts 10% van de excursie is gerealiseerd. Echter geen reactie ontvangen. Normaal uiterst tevreden over GJG.”
A guided 4-hour walk through Jerusalem’s top holy sites, with free-entry stops, sensitive storytelling, and a Temple Mount view plan on closure days.
“Very good introduction to the Old City and major monuments. The guide did a difficult job with a large group in a very crowded environment (e.g. in the church of the Holy Sepulchre). The best part was being taken into the Temple Mount and explained many of the important details. Nicely done and showed sensitivity to both sides of issues pertinent to holy sites in Jerusalem.”
The desert, the coast, the lake, and the runs over the border.
