Full Day Bethlehem Private Tour
Bethlehem tour
We were recommended Deya (a graduate in archeology), and his brother Ala (our driver) by their colleague Hazem, and they made every effort to ensure that we had a wonderful, and insightful, tour of this part of the West Bank. Deya and Ala are Palestinian Christians who live close to Bethlehem, and they made delightful companions for the day. Transport and logistics are complicated in Palestine (eg managing the checkpoints) and we would not have managed well without Deya's sincere kindness and patience (and great communication beforehand). We loved the remoteness of the Kidron valley and thought St George's Monastery and Mar Saba truly beautiful to visit, enhanced by Deya's knowledge. A private tour was a big plus in these special places. We had an even better experience than expected at the Church of the Nativity, managing somehow not to get caught in queues. And we loved Walled Off Hotel with its Banksy art and all the nearby graffiti art. This, and our open and informative guides, truly helped us appreciate the complexities of life in Palestine. All in all, a remarkable day out made very special by our guides. Thank you both.
We booked a private tour with Hazem. This was the best tour of our entire trip! We divided our day between the history/current events of Palestine and the religious history/locations of Bethlehem. Hazem is passionate about his country and is a great story teller/educator. He met us the minute we crossed the checkpoint and took great care of us the whole day! I’m often asked if we felt safe so I will share that we always felt save. I really enjoy the benefits of a private tour over being with 100 others. The private tour offers the chance to truly talk and get to know your guide. By the end of the day we felt we had made a friend in Palestine. I highly recommend Hazem as a guide, we wish we had met him earlier in our trip so we could have planned additional tours. Meeting others and understanding different cultures is why we travel and this experience will be one remember!
