The most amazing experience! We had the best day of our trip. Michael and Georgette we so knowledgeable and pleasant. There is nothing they could have done better. They got us into and out of sites with such efficiency and took what ever time was needed to answer all our questions. I would HIGHLY recommend their private tours - the price was very reasonable. We were so disappointed the day prior with our tour and the cost - horrible value and just a summary description of places in the old city and we were nervous about this tour. Our entire group walked away inspired. Michael and Georgette’s knowledge and love of God made them the best hosts. Their driver was equally outstanding and the small bus was so comfortable for our group (6 in our group).
We would love to come back and do more of their tours!

This is an amazing tour and Michael is a wonderful tour guide. He has an in-depth knowledge of the biblical events surrounding Bethlehem and Jericho as well as the history of the general area dating back to ancient times, that he shares during your tour. His particular insight into the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, as a Palestinian Christian, was enlightening.
My husband and I were traveling alone and were concerned about our safety in the West Bank, and in particular, going through checkpoint 300 on our own. As it turned out, there was absolutely nothing to worry about. Michael contacts you the night before the tour and stays in communication with you until you arrive at the checkpoint. He gave very detailed directions about getting to the checkpoint, where to park our rental car, and how to proceed through the checkpoint, and he was waiting on us when we came through. And yes, there is an open space just before the checkpoint where you can safely park your car that Michael will guide you to if needed. We felt very safe in Palestine, everyone we met was warm and welcoming. Don’t let the fact that you meet Michael on the Palestinian side deter you from this tour, it really is no problem.
Michael takes a personal approach to the tour, rather than treating you as just a business transaction. He provides excellent, air conditioned, transportation for the tour and, as it is a private tour, he tailors it to your specific interests. By the end of the day, we really felt like we had made a friend, we were even lucky enough to meet some of his family. If we are ever fortunate enough to be in this region again, a tour with Michael will be a priority. This is a tour that shouldn’t be missed.

Michael is very knowledgeable tour guide who tailors the tour very well to what you want to see. He goes the extra mile taking you to great photo spots and introducing you to local food and culture. The best thing is that he gives you tips on what a fair price is and helps you get a better bargain for things you want to buy.
We had a very safe and enjoyable trip! I can highly recommend!

The tour with the guide, Hazem, who organizes the tours together with Michael, was better than perfect!! Without him, it should be impossible to visit various places in Jericho and Bethlehem in a day. You must visit Hisham's Palace and a lookout point to see St. George's Monastery. Also, he provided very interesting talks at every sites and even during driving.
Another fantastic point of his guide was that he respected my preference and style of sightseeing. He did not force me anything. He did not push me to, for example, buy some souvenirs (but, of course, you can step in some shops if you like). He kept asking me what I want to do and what I am interested in. He understood my style, and he made time for me to take some photos and to look around alone at every sites. So, the tour was stress-free!! I relaxed very much during the tour.
You may think about that the tour is more expensive than other bus tours when you take this tour alone. I would say that it is worth paying for this tour!!

Our tour with Michael was absolutely perfect! I can't recommend him enough! His communication with us prior to the start of the tour was effective, reassuring, and timely. During the tour itself he showed that he was very knowledgeable about the area and history of the sites we were visiting, providing many details that were new to us. It was so nice to have a private guide as we were able to spend our time where we chose and he helped us avoid the huge tour bus crowds - giving us "fast pass" access!

Michael helped us design a tour of just the things we wanted to see in Jericho, Bethlehem and the surrounding area. He planned out everything ahead and checked with the sites we wanted to visit to make sure they would be open and then checked in with us a few days ahead of the tour to make sure we were all set. The day of the tour everything went smoothly and we were able to experience everything we wanted to do and more. Since Michael was born and grew up in Bethlehem and has been doing tours for many years, he knows many of the people at the sites we visited personally and thus can arrange a personal experience. I have never experienced a tour so well thought out and organized.
Michael provided explanations of the history of the people of Palestine form the beginning which helped us really understand the significance of the sites we visited along with the current situation. Perhaps most important was that Michael took the tine to understand what we wanted to learn about and our touring style and adjusted his approach to meet our needs.

My husband and I hired Michael for a full day private tour of Jericho, St. George’s Monastery, and Bethlehem. We had an AMAZING experience. Michael is very knowledgeable in the rich history of the area and of all of the sites that we visited. As we drove us to our various destinations, Michael explained the area that we were passing through and shared information about life in Palestinian from antiquity to present. Once at the sights he led us on a journey through time. His insights on the places that we visited made history come to life. Aside from learning about the Palestine of old, we were able to better understand the struggles that exist today, and see them through different eyes. Thank you, Michael, for our unforgettable tour, and treating us like personal friends. Our tour with Michael was a true highlight of our time in Israel. One of the best tours I have ever had anywhere!!

Michael is great and we had a wonderful time seeing the sights we wanted to see and more. I am usually a bit wary of such high ratings but with Michael, this is definitely true. He is very patient and knowledgeable and able to show us the sights and share insights in a warm and informative way (easier . It was such a welcomed change after our experience with other guides in our earlier part of the trip. The day went by much quicker than expected since we enjoyed ourselves so much. We highly recommend Michael!

Michael, personally came to Jerusalem to pick us up. ( which is quite an effort for a West Bank resident)
We drove to all the sights of Jericho, Hisham’s palace and Bethlehem.
He also got us to the front of the queue at the church of the nativity.
That saved us over an hour wait in the queue.
I would highly recommend him to anyone.

We had a wonderful day with Michael and an excellent tour in Jericho, Bethlehem and at Dead Sea. We wanted to see some more places so we asked prior to booking for customizing the tour, It was very easy to customize it.
He meet us at checkpoint 300 and he drove us to all sites we wanted to see as planned.
We enjoyed eating lunch with him.
Michael is an amazing tour guide with excellent knowledge of the historical, religious and geo-political stuff.
I highly recommend Michael as a tour guide in Palastine

The schedule does not list the tour on Wednesday currently. However when I put the date May 8 it allows me to put the tour in the cart. Is May 8 available for a tour?
