“Itamar was an excellent guide, very personable, funny, knowledgeable, and engaging. He painted a vivid picture of the history behind the sites with captivating storytelling along the way. Both Bethlehem and Jerusalem are worth seeing to get a sense of the beginning and the end of the story of Jesus. You’re in good hands if you have Itamar as your guide!”

“Leider startete der Transfer von Jerusalem nach Tel Aviv 20 Minuten später als er sollte. Zudem war es extrem schwierig die große Reisgruppe von fast dreissig Personen zusammenzuhalten, was zu weiteren Zeitverzögerungen führte. Letztendlich gelang es unserem Guide trotzdem alle Ziele zu absolvieren, lediglich die Essenspause kam etwas zu kurz, sonst wäre der Eintritt in Acco nicht mehr möglich gewesen. Ich möchte mich bei unserem Guide sehr herzlich bedanken der trotz aller Wiedrigkeiten immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit war. Ich wünsche ihm alles Gute und weiterhin viel Freude mit uns Touris.”
