We visited the monasteries with a very pleasant driver.

INCREDIBLE tour! See where Jesus was born in the manger and so many incredible ancient sites!
My husband and I took my 81 year old mom whose dream it is to see the site where Jesus was born and all the religious sites. she is not athletic and has a bad foot. She did marvelously but there is a lot of uphill climbing and slippery steps. Our guide Elias always looked out for her and kept lovingly telling us to take our time. He was so kind to our group.
We loved it and our tour guides were incredible. I can’t speak more highly of Elias and Mohammad.
Elias was especially funny, charming, and taught us a lot about the history and never got political. He has ancestral roots in the land and was well versed in the history.
Elias realized we had booked a tour that would not be good for my mom (monastery tour) and also that women aren’t allowed in anyway, so he suggested we switch and he made it happen for us! We are so glad to see Mount temptation, dip into river Jordan, and see the spring of Elijah. However old Jericho was tough and if i had to do it all over again i wouldn’t do it because it was 100 degrees and the steps perilous for my mom. I wish Mohammad warned us about that.
Otherwise an INCREDIBLE TOUR!

A well organized tour with outstanding Guides. Bethlehem is a lovely ancient city and the countryside around Saint George Monestary beautiful. We were warmly welcomed at the West Bank check point by our Palestinian Guides. A change of vehicle is required - Israeli vehicles can go into the West Bank but West Bank/Palestinian vehicles/guides cannot travel into Israel. A full day of sightseeing but do not expect to get into the Church of the Navity as the line ups are hours long.

Can't give anything but a great review for this tour. I changed the plan slightly with the help of the guides, who were helpful, knowledgeable, funny and inclusive.
I've read reviews of some tours being too political etc. But I and our group found Boaz very open but respectful and not political, in fact spiritually enlightening would be a good explanation, he qouted from Bilble(s), Koran and Torah. We even got the Our Father recited in Aramaic, the lanuage Jesus would have spoken.
The amount of food tasting, sweets and coffee supplied, we were brought into Bethlehem with open arms!!
One of the childern of a really charming family on the tour, kept calling it "the best tour ever", they had done several tours already this week!!
We were immersed in the history and life in Bethlehem from long before Jesus was born to the modern day!
Jerico and the baptismal site were items in there own right, things and places I wanted to experience, but we were spoilt in Bethlehem, even getting into 2 grotto's; the Church of the Nativity and the grotto in St Catherine's where St Jerome translated the bibles and was originally buried.
We were very lucky, most of the time you don't get into one grotto with the crowds or booked for masses, to get the 2 was special.
No more to say, except thanks Boaz, Moses and Elijah Tours for your hospitality and sharing your knowledge of your iconic city!!

The tour was excellent, as I really wanted to see the Greek Orthodox monastery - I did not like the first guide injecting one sided politics into the tour - many were uncomfortable, otherwise the tour was very good.

Tour bus left from Jerusalem. Easy crossing into Bethlehem, where our guides met the group. Fantastic tour of Bethlehem, which included an insight to life in Bethlehem and the Border wall, as well as the Religious attractions.
After Bethlehem I separated from the group (who were all going to the Dead Sea). I had my own personal guide and driver to the Monasteries and Mt of Temptations. After the tour I was driven back to Jerusalem. I cant recommend this tour enough. It was breathtaking and a must see for anyone visiting the Holy Land.
