A Fabulous 12 Day Life Experience Exploring the Holy Land!
Erez Yarkon Travel LTD is definitely the one you want to put together your trip of a lifetime to the Holy Land of Israel! Since 2017 I have personally had the privilege to travel to Israel 3 different times. Each trip was put together with care by Erez. Erez has always listened to our groups wants and needs as we have planned to explore Israel, and he has made every effort to put together the exact trip that we desired beginning 12 months out or more from our desired dates. Each day was packed with amazing sites and experiences as we traveled from Tel Aviv and north up the coastline to Caesarea by the Sea, over to the Sea of Galilee area, north to Tel Dan, and finally south to explore Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Masada and the Dead Sea area over a 12 day period. Time was built in for our group to have Bible study in many of the places we visited as we connected the dots of the Old Testament to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and look forward to Christ's future return. Each time we have had extremely knowledgeable guides and amazing bus drivers. The accommodations and food we experienced have been wonderful. Whenever we have had any unforseen issues with travel delays, lost luggage, or medical needs, Erez has been immediately there to provide help for the situation. He goes above and beyond in all circumstances. Please consider using Erez Yarkon Travel LTD. Your time in Israel is guaranteed to be a blessing as you explore the beautiful Promised Land.

Memorable family Tour of Jerusalem
Shimi was our guide and he had fantastic knowledge about Jerusalem and the sites we visited. He was very patient with us when we took longer to walk places and was flexible when we wanted to change lunch plans. He answered our questions when he could. He knew how to adjust and helped cater the tour to the things we wanted to see.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tel Aviv.
How much does Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $1,100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tel Aviv usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Tel Aviv is not rushed.
Is Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tel Aviv, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience?
+
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 Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience?
+
Around 1 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 Tel Aviv 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 Tel Aviv and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience 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 Tel Aviv 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 Tel Aviv?
+
On Outty we rank every Tel Aviv experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Carmel Market Tasting Tour - LocaLocal, Guided Pub Crawl Night Tour at Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv Street Art & Graffiti 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 Tel Aviv?
+
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 Tel Aviv?
+
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 Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience?
+
Included: Private transportation; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Parking fees. Not included: Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 237 listed pickup locations in and around Tel Aviv. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French and Spanish. 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 Jerusalem & Bethlehem Day Tour – Top Holy Land Experience?
