    Don’t buy: Misleading!

    I booked a Viator trip from Amman promising to cover both Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The owner initially warned me that Sunday travel wouldn’t allow both sites due to restrictions. When I threatened to cancel, she suggested moving the tour to Monday and assured me I’d see both places. However, the reality was very different—I only got to visit Jerusalem. To make matters worse, the communication at both borders was terrible, leaving me stranded with an incomplete itinerary and a hefty bill of $1045. Overall, a misleading and disappointing experience that didn’t deliver what was promised.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review, however let us clarify some facts as your review is misleading. We did advice you to move the day tour visit to Monday 20 Jan. 2025 instead of Sunday 19 Jan. 2025 due to crowdedness at the border from local pilgrimage groups. However, we clearly stated that due to the current situation the border closes early at 15.30 hours and, in all cases, you will have time to do Jerusalem visit only. We advised you to book the overnight Jerusalem and Bethlehem tour from 19 – 20 Jan. 2025 to do both Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and you did not amend the booking as per communications held. The visit of Jerusalem and border crossing was attended by us as per itinerary without any misleading information. Everything was clarified to you prior, even with the option of you cancelling. You proceeded with the tour based on your own.

    Jerusalem , Bethlehem Tours

    John, the driver who pick us up from our hotel was very pleasant and very nice in explaining things around especially someone who will meet us on the Israel side since he can not join us to cross the border. We highly recommend his service to us. As soon as we enter the Allenby inspection, it cost a lot of delay due to high risk of inspection on the Israeli part and it took us more than 2 hours before we met our Israeli side driver. He doesn’t talked much because he was always on the phone until our tour guide came in. Martin, our tour guide said since we came in late and he understands the long delay of inspection from the border and Immigration check too. I was disappointed because I booked this tour that includes the tour up in the Golden Mosque and he said we can not do it. They close at 10:30 am, we arrived past 11:00 am. He tried his best to go take us to the most important locations. Over all, the tour was very pleasant and my friends was in awe to see the holy sites. Thanks. Lito M.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your comments and for sharing your experience with us. The nicest complement that our team can get is your desire to return to Jordan with us. We are truly happy to learn that you enjoyed your holiday with us and even, it was difficult to leave. What a complement indeed! Looking forward to your next visit.😍

    Good experience and great driver

    Had a great experience. We had Ahmad as our driver for our airport transfers and also for our day tours to Jerusalem, Petra and the Hot Springs. He was very professional and friendly and really looked after us. He was always on time and maintained good communication via watsap. He drove well and safely and offered us water as well. We were very happy with his service. For the Palestine (Jerusalem/Bethlehem) tours the driver on the other side after the border crossing (Rami) as well as the tour guide (Ameer) were both also excellent and looked after us really well, both very knowledgable and passionate about the local areas. Overall a great experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing ZTT and for this wonderful review of your stay. Our aim is always to provide a first-class service, and our professional and dedicated team go the extra mile to ensure our travelers have a memorable stay. It is rewarding to know that our efforts at continuous improvement, are being recognized.

    Private Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman cost?

    +

    Prices start at $633 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amman usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 Amman is not rushed.

    Is Private Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amman, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman?

    +

    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 Private Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman?

    +

    Around 9 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 Amman 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 Amman and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman 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 Amman 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 Amman?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Amman experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Amman: Petra and Wadi rum Private/Group Full day Tour, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea 4 Days 3 nights, From Amman :Private or Group Full day tour to Petra. 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 Amman?

    +

    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 Amman?

    +

    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 Private Day Trip of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Amman?

    +

    Included: Visits of mentioned sites with entrance fees, subject to timing; English-speaking driver; On board WI-FI; Local English-Speaking Guide for classic visit of Jerusalem and Bethlehem; and Hotel pick-up and drop -off from and to Amman Hotel.

    +
