John, the driver who pick us up from our hotel was very pleasant and very nice in explaining things around especially someone who will meet us on the Israel side since he can not join us to cross the border. We highly recommend his service to us.
As soon as we enter the Allenby inspection, it cost a lot of delay due to high risk of inspection on the Israeli part and it took us more than 2 hours before we met our Israeli side driver. He doesn’t talked much because he was always on the phone until our tour guide came in.

Martin, our tour guide said since we came in late and he understands the long delay of inspection from the border and Immigration check too.
I was disappointed because I booked this tour that includes the tour up in the Golden Mosque and he said we can not do it. They close at 10:30 am, we arrived past 11:00 am. He tried his best to go take us to the most important locations.

Over all, the tour was very pleasant and my friends was in awe to see the holy sites.

Thanks.

Lito M.

Had a great experience. We had Ahmad as our driver for our airport transfers and also for our day tours to Jerusalem, Petra and the Hot Springs. He was very professional and friendly and really looked after us. He was always on time and maintained good communication via watsap. He drove well and safely and offered us water as well. We were very happy with his service. For the Palestine (Jerusalem/Bethlehem) tours the driver on the other side after the border crossing (Rami) as well as the tour guide (Ameer) were both also excellent and looked after us really well, both very knowledgable and passionate about the local areas. Overall a great experience.

Great drivers and tour guide. The most difficult part is crossing the border, however the officials there let you know what to do. Great trip!

Getting through the borders was somewhat confusing. We were not told about the shuttle bus and its cost prior to the trip or where to meet the tour guide upon arriving. How ever the driver, Ahmed, who picked us up at our hotel was wonderful and very helpful. The tour guide, Maharen, was absolutely fabulous. He was very knowledgeable, personal and accommodating to our needs. Also the operator was quick to reply to our emails. A great experience!

My wife and I were a little hesitant on this tour mainly because we didn’t want to have to sit on buses or terminals for hours waiting to crops the border.

The transfer from Amman to the border crossing was smooth, the driver picked us up on time at the hotel. However, the crossing took approx. 2 hours. Mostly sitting on a bus waiting for it to fill up.

Getting across was simple but there were some wait times involved and various check points. Once we made it through, our driver was waiting for us to take us to our meeting point in Jerusalem with our tour guide Michael.

Michael was amazing! He is very knowledgeable and informative. My wife and I did a one day tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman and Michael took us to all the important sites in both places. It was a rainy and cold day but he was a trooper the whole time and took his time giving us the history of each place we visited.

Michael took us to the best Falafel spot in Bethlehem for lunch and to an awesome store to purchase olive wood items.

Well done Michael!

The transfer back to Amman was a lot quicker. Probably 30 minutes in all.
Driver was a little late picking us up but communicated well.

*Don’t forget to tip your your guides

worst trip ever
the agency don't have any car or guide, they using sup agents and giving them low price, so don't think you will get a good service for a low price provided for these agents

The tour was absolutely 5 stars from start to finish. Hanna our driver was awesome and informative, with a great sense of humor. Our main tour guide Khalid was incredible! Very knowledgeable, engaging and you can tell he really enjoys his work. Would highly recommend.

Hats off to Zaid tours for organizing this one day excursion (lots of logistics) and for being responsive both via email and phone (was always able to reach a helpful Zaid agent anytime before and during the trip).

Let me first start off by saying that this Jerusalem day tour is best suited for tourists with a specific set of goals:
1. Tourists who like to move quickly and maximize what they can see with limited time
2. Tourists who set up a base in Jordan (e.g., to see Petra) and don’t have time to spend more than a day in Israel
3. Tourists who want a brief taste of Israeli and Palestinian life and are okay following up in the future as needed for in depth visits (e.g., Tel Aviv)

All three of these goals were true for us, and therefore the day tour offered by Zaid travel was exactly what we expected and they delivered on all fronts. It’s not cheap, but for us it was absolutely worth it since we likely won’t be able to return to this area for the next few years.

A few additional comments:
+ Jordan side driver was fantastic for pickup and dropoff in both directions
+ Israeli side driver was good as well, and made sure we got where we needed to go in time
+ Our guide (Khalid) was Palestinian and wasn’t the best at explaining information in Jerusalem. He would read the signs out loud slowly verbatim (which we could read ourselves in half the time). He was much better in Bethlehem and to his credit he did make sure we hit all the stops we wanted to see in the short period we had available (including Dome of the Rock which has specific visit windows)
+ Try to be first off the shuttle on the way back across the border to preempt the mad dash for passports when you return to the Jordanian side
+ Border crossing timing and hours can vary widely, be prepared for everything to slow down tremendously after 18:30p. Just as an example, Jordan—> Israel took us about 2-2.5h total to cross, Israel —> Jordan took about 1-1.5h total arriving at the Israeli crossing entrance at 18:00 (both times gate to gate). Another couple who arrived at the Israeli gate after us (at ~18:30) spent 3h crossing back instead
+ You’ll likely need JOD cash for shuttles and Jordan exit fee. Israeli NIS exit fee could be paid with credit card
