Bethlehem Alternative Tour

Amazing price. Knowledgeable local guide. Customisable. 10/10. If you are going to Bethlehem you should book this tour! My husband and I did this tour a few days ago and we are so happy that we booked it. Before we left Ireland we spoke with Dani and he told us his family has a hostel there so we booked it. The House of Peace is a lovely family-run business very close to the centre and a great price. The evening before the tour we met Dani and asked him for advice on how we could get to the Dead Sea. He ended up customising the whole tour with us so that we could do everything we wanted, even though we only had a day. While we were on Dani's tour we saw other tour groups arrive from the bigger cities and are led to the main religious sites and are quickly put back on the buses. We couldn't help but think they missed so much of what Bethlehem had to offer. They also would have paid a lot more so we felt very lucky to have found this tour. Dani took us to Aida refugee camp where we met locals and saw their amazing graffiti murals. He then brought us to Banksy's Walled Off Hotel which was decorated brilliantly and had a fantastic museum inside. He also drove us to Manger Square so that we could visit the birthplace of Jesus. After this we left to go to Jericho, the longest continuously inhabited city in the world... 11,000 years! We also visited the Sycamore tree and the river Jordan where Its said Jesus was baptised. It was amazing to be within 5 metres of the Jordon border. We then drove to the Dead Sea to float in the salty water and give ourselves a mud body mask. Our skin was super soft after! Dani then drove us to a town to catch a bus to Jerusalem and he waited with us until it arrived. This is a unique, interesting and fun tour at an amazing price. Dani is really smart and a lovely guy. He even played the piano for us and he's very talented! We loved touring Bethlehem and other parts of Palestine with him. We will definitely be back and we will 100% book something with Dani again!

Dani es un chico encantador, comprometido y apasionado de su trabajo. Uno de los que, como muchos de nosotros, sueñan con el fin de este conflicto a través del diálogo y el conocimiento y son estas firmes convicciones las que hacen de este tour una experiencia tan especial. Con él descubrirás la parte más cruda y humana de Palestina, recorrerás sus calles conociendo su historia pasada y su situación presente y, sobre todo, volverás con tu corazón rendido a este hermoso pais.
