Amazing West Bank tour with Shareef
I had a wonderful day tour in the West Bank with Sharif, visiting Bethlehem, Ramallah, Jericho, the Jordan River, and the Dead Sea. Everything was perfect! Sharif was extremely kind, friendly, helpful, and always available to assist with anything I needed. He made the entire day enjoyable, comfortable, and unforgettable. I really appreciated his kindness and professionalism throughout the tour. Higly recommended!

I don't know what to say...
First of all, I hate having to write this, but I really didn't like how he kept asking for a tip while I was booking the tour—before I’d even arrived in Palestine. It felt really off, and he kept bringing it up every day; in the end, I felt pressured to tip him even though he might not have deserved it. I dislike it when someone is only focused on the money. Plus, it seemed like it was his first time at every location—sure, he could explain things and provide information—but not knowing, for example, that a certain church is closed on Fridays (even though it’s written right on the door), or missing details about many other attractions... You’d think he would check online or ask someone. It was very unprofessional. For the Jewish quarter—where he couldn't go—he sent me with a local who spoke absolutely no English; while the local knew the way, the guide could have come along so he’d know the route for next time, among other things... After we agreed on $300 a day just for him—with nothing else included—he soon asked for an extra $50 because fuel was expensive; well, he knew that beforehand... This is my first time in Palestine and Israel (and apparently his too), yet he never mentioned that four days is too long for Palestine but too short for Israel. As a result, here in Israel, we’re rushing from one location to the next (with a different, excellent guide) and missing out on things, which isn't right. I know it’s all about the money, but it leaves a bad impression.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
I had a fantastic experience in Bethlehem. Besides Shareef's knowledge, his kindness and willingness to make everything perfect were essential for enjoying it to the fullest. 100% recommended!

Fantastic day-trip to Bethlehem with Shareef!
My tour with Shareef was fantastic! I really enjoyed spending time with him. He was very knowledgeable, and he brought us to a lot of amazing sights in Bethlehem. We viewed the beautiful graffiti on the separation wall. We visited the Walled Off Hotel. We visited the Nativity Church and the Milk Grotto. We saw the Christmas tree. We drove around the neighborhoods. We visited Solomon's Pools. We spent time in Aida Camp and spoke with some of the people working at an organization there. And we had a delicious lunch of mansaf. Yum! I highly recommend touring with Shareef. I learned a lot from him about the history of Bethlehem, the history and culture of Palestine, and about the Occupation. And everything was very safe. Next time I visit Palestine, I definitely plan to reach out to Shareef again.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much dear friend It is my pleasure to meet you You are now a friend and not client Enshallah see you again here

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.
How much does Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour. cost?
+
Prices start at $330 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jerusalem usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour. take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jerusalem is not rushed.
Is Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jerusalem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour.?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jerusalem can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jerusalem and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jerusalem within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jerusalem?
+
On Outty we rank every Jerusalem experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jerusalem Boutique Tour from Tel Aviv, Travel to Bethlehem Half Day Guided Tour from Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Dead Sea Day Tour From Jerusalem. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jerusalem?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jerusalem?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour.?
+
Included: Private transportation; In-vehicle air conditioning; Guiding; and Free Wifi. Not included: Lunch; Gratuities; Personal expenses; and Transfer fare from Jerusalem to Bethlehem. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour. include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 47 listed pickup locations in and around Jerusalem. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour. offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Explore Nativity Church, Baptism site and Jericho.Private Tour.?
