What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Asia
- Holyland Israel & Jordan and Egypt Tour with Nile Cruise - 18 Days
It was very excellent. Wonderful staff, very helpful
- Holyland Israel & Jordan & Cairo - 14 Days
Our guide Gadi managed our large group really well in Israel. It would be a lot smoother if we only had 1-2 hotels to pickup and drop off at. 4-5 hotels spread out wasted time in traffic. Gadi had deep and excellent knowledge and a treasured well used Bible to share and his Jewish perspective on the “must see” Jesus locations kept me thinking about how the Pharisees and Sadducee’s viewed Jesus. We needed another hour to see Petra so please try to get the Jordanian tour guide to shorten the much stop. Our scheduled hotel was overbooked and an alternate was sourced but that should have been done during the day while we were independently touring Petra. There was confusion at the airport Jordan to Egypt about the visas we feel this could have been handled better. Egypt was frenetic for sure. Again big distances between Hotels should have been avoided. Gigi was lovely very informative especially at he museum. Loved the pyramids and sphinx.

Tour guide in Bethlehem was not very good. Wasn't communicative, gave poor explanations, was unfriendly. Other than that, the entire tour experience was excellent.
