    Michael’s tours are an incredible way to see Palestine, and the highlight of our trip! Michael is very knowledgeable and was willing to share a lot with us. We visited from the USA and were able to easily converse with him, and he provided tons of insight about the historic and current situation in Palestine. He was able to show us political, religious, cultural, and historic sights around Bethlehem and Hebron. His understanding of the current and historical situation goes above and beyond anything I would have expected, and he made every effort to get to know us on a more personal level as well. Coordination and logistics were simple and he communicates effectively, 5/5 recommend!

    The best day of our trip

    James Davies (verified owner)

    We were here for a week and the highlight was the day we spent with Michael, touring Hebron and Bethlehem. The process to get there from Jerusalem was easy, and Michael was very knowledgeable. My kids were entertained and have come away with experiences that we couldn’t have found without a guide. If you’re considering this or one of Michael’s other trips, I couldn’t be more encouraging, and am slightly jealous!
