    Worth every penny

    Myself and my friend took the Ramallah and Bethlehem day tour. Firstly, following our late booking the night before the tour which turned out to be to late, Green Olive kindly offered to organise a private tour for the following day, which they did not have to. Anas, our guide was extremely knowledgable about the history of the Palestine and the specifics of the legal and cultural situations on the ground, it was great to hear about the Israel-Palestine situation from a Palestinian perspective. Anas was also extremely personable, despite the tour lasting from about 08:30-15:30 (I believe this would have usually ran longer however it was Eid on the day of our tour meaning that roads were less busy) there was never a lull in conversation, Anas took us to a great shawarma spot in Bethlehem away from the touristy area, after asking us what we would like to eat, and provided us with water on a hot day. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

    Eye-opening and thought-provoking tours of Palestine

    I did four different day tours with Green Olive; Nablus, Bethlehem, the Gaza Border Tour, and East Jerusalem with 2 different guides (Mohammed, Anas, and Mustafa). They were all incredible. I felt like I learned and saw a lot and was very appreciative of all guides openness and willingness to answer my questions on topics that are often seen as difficult. I have done West Bank/ Palestine tours with other companies in the past but the Green Olive tours were far better. I highly recommend this company to all travellers coming to Israel and Palestine and looking to go beyond the typical tourist attractions. Thank you so much- I'll be back for more.

    We are forever changed

    Our driver showed up with a luxury bus(leather seats and comfort). He picked up our group from our respective BNB's. Our Guide explained professionally everything as we went along. He braved all our questions even as we excitedly peppered him with question after question. I lamented on not getting a chance to go into Palestine and soon enough we were headed there. Once in Palestine we walked around and were surprised by offers of tea and cookies. The people had very little but willingly shared what they had. We were forever changed at hearing their stories. How they only get water turned on ONCE A MONTH. The wired prison walls. The refusal of food or safe passage. The Palestine is full of rich history being denied and destroyed by those who were once abused but have now become the abusers. Thank you Green Olive Tours

    Wonderful Bethlehem West Bank tour

    WE did the Bethlehem/West Bank day tour from Jerusalem. Green Olive was really easy to work with as far as booking, communication before the tour, etc. We'd booked a tour for 4 people and ended up being just the 4 of us, so got our own private tour! Driver picked us up in Jerusalem, drove us to West Bank where we met our guide and new driver. Stopped at a beautiful monastery in the hills and got to walk around and take in the gorgeous scenery. Then it was off to Bethlehem where we started with a self-guided tour of a museum about the Palestinian experience in the Banksy hotel. Got to see what a hotel room looks like as well - such a cool hotel! Then walked through a refugee camp, had lunch, then toured the Church of the Nativity. Great mix of sights, walking, etc. Our guide, Mohammed, had lots of stories and gave us the Palestinian perspective. I see some reviews that claim that it's one-sided, but on our tours in Israel, you definitely get the Israeli perspective, so I think it is extremely important to get both sides. Overall a wonderful tour and wonderful day!

    Highlight of our stay in Israel!

    The Gaza Strip Border Tour gave us a lot to think about and it added depth to our understanding of the area, history and people. Our guide, Anas, was very bright, passionate and funny. It was such a great day that we will remember for a long time. The day before, we had a private tour of Jerusalem with a different tour company that had a brochure in our hotel (it cost over twice as much). We hit up all the predicable spots and had all the predictable conversations and experiences and it was all fine, and this is probably what most people want. However, Green Olive tours is more than this. I highly recommend and will definitely go on another tour with them in the future.

    Response from the operator: Susan - Thanks so much for your kind words. Do come and visit again. _____ Fred Schlomka, Managing Partner

    Palestine Revealed: 2-Day Private Tour from Jerusalem: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.

    How much does Palestine Revealed: 2-Day Private Tour from Jerusalem cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,246 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 Palestine Revealed: 2-Day Private Tour from Jerusalem take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Palestine Revealed: 2-Day Private Tour from Jerusalem worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 110 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Jerusalem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Palestine Revealed: 2-Day Private Tour from Jerusalem?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Palestine Revealed: 2-Day Private Tour from Jerusalem suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Palestine Revealed: 2-Day Private Tour from Jerusalem?

    +

    Around 39 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Palestine Revealed: 2-Day Private Tour from Jerusalem 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.
