Trip to Jerusalem and Bethlehem
Tour operator Gadi was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and accommodating throughout our private tour. His knowledge of Jerusalem was exceptional and his way of incorporating many viewpoints/religions/cultures was very respectful and greatly appreciated. He knew just how to go through Jerusalem to see the most, with short cuts and special side trips. Our driver was also accommodating even stopping and getting us umbrellas when it threatened rain. He dropped Gadi off and took us to meet our guide Saed in Bethlehem and then returned us to Gadi afterwards. He knew how to avoid traffic well on our return home. Saed was also friendly and knowledgeable and helped us obtain a particular souvenir we were looking for in Bethlehem.
Response from the operator: Hi Kathleen, Great to read you enjoyed your tour with Gadi and Saeed and thank you for taking the time to write this very nice review. Enjoy Israel and have a save trip home.

Thumbs up from South Africa
The 2 weeks that I spent in Israel was phenomenal. Our Israeli guide -Allan Rabinowitz was very efficient, punctual and most all very knowledgeable. His passion and love for what he does as well as his humility is truly inspiring. I was thoroughly impressed by his wealth of knowledge and the dates that he rattled off was incredible. He is a sponge of knowledge and a great historian. I would highly recommend Allan Rabinowitz to other pilgrims embarking on a tour /pilgrimage. My stay at the Notre Dame hotel was commendable. The staff was very polite as well as efficient and the management was very accommodating. The Notre Dame is a well oiled machine. The ambiance was very inviting. This hotel is "spick and span" and it is a pleasure to be in a meticulously clean environment as the staff take pride in their work. My experience of Israel is truly memorable and I will revisit Israel in the not too distant future as the wealth of history is inexhaustible.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Jerusalem and Bethlehem: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.
How much does Full Day Jerusalem and Bethlehem cost?
+
Prices start at $450 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 Full Day Jerusalem and Bethlehem 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 Full Day Jerusalem and Bethlehem worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Jerusalem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Jerusalem and Bethlehem?
+
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 Full Day Jerusalem and Bethlehem 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 Full Day Jerusalem and Bethlehem?
+
Around 2 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 Full Day Jerusalem and Bethlehem 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.

+
