Good and….
Good tour! Saw some historical sites. It was quite busy in some places and therefore couldn’t always hear the guide explain the stories or meaning of spaces we visited.

Not what I paid for
I paid more for a smaller group but they ended up putting me in a larger group. The group included Italians where only one spoke english and translated during the guides explanation. The guide was not as informed as I would have liked not able to answer my questions and felt she took the lazy way through the tour. I am 46 and was 10yrs younger than the youngest so they were a bit slower which is fine, but the guide hounded on me to stay close which I then wasn't able to explore areas further and rushed through. Finally, they took us to a shop that they designated and felt it was pushed upon us to buy something. I would have liked to but was rushed due to time and should have gone after seeing the sights in Bethlehem.
Response from the operator: Hello ajmueller next time we recommend ordering a private tour and we will check regarding the guide Thank you for the reply

great !
Seeing Jerusalem and Bethlahem, the most important places in our Isreal visit, was made so much more due to Riki, our guide that day. She made the tour such a real experience, with her knowledge, experiences, and diplomatic no-nonsense personality. The tour went smoothly, despite the crowds. A great day, incredible experience in an incredible country. Thank you Riki. Thank you Viator.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your amazing review. We do our best to provide our clients with the best experience. You thanks will be pass to Riki.

Initially we had booked a tour with...
<p>Initially we had booked a tour with 52 people and then asked to switch to a smaller tour. We were told the tour would be a total of 8 People. It turned out to be more like 16. In addition, the tour was comprised of 13 English speaking members and 3 Russians. Eli, our tour guide, said he would spend equal time in both languages. However, many of us on the tour felt that he was communicating more in Russian than in English. Something that was discussed in English would take 3 times longer in Russian. The same happened with the guide we had in Bethlehem. Group members complained among themselves about too time being spent in Russian and less in English. In addition, we were the first to be picked up at our hotel in Jaffa and the last to be dropped off even though the bus traveled a few streets past our hotel to drop all the guests staying south of us first. The tour was advertised as taking 10 hours, it was 11.5 with a good hour dropping off other participants first. Choose a different tour company that does what they say they will.</p>

This was the first day tour of our...
<p>This was the first day tour of our very first visit to Israel, and it was a great way to start our vacation. Our tour guide Ron was very friendly and informative and maintained a great balance of keeping the pace going through the day, but still allowing the group members they needed to enjoy each of the sites we visited. Ron also went beyond the call of duty by personally returning my cell phone with all of that day's photos to me after I had inadvertently left it behind on the bus after the end of the tour. Our tour guide for the Bethlehem portion of the tour, George, was also very knowledgable and friendly and made our visit to the Church of the Nativity very nice. We would definitely use this agency again, and would look forward to working with both of the tour guides on another excursion.</p>

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.
How much does Full-Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Trip of 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 Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 9 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 Full-Day Trip of 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 Trip of 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 Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem?
+
Around 3 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 Trip of 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, Jerusalem: Dual Narrative Tour. 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.
