Traveler reviews
A Day of Prayer
I can’t say enough about this wonderfully kind and knowledgeable guide. It was a very an emotional tour. Thank you to the company Beinharim and Dan Porges our guide. I am definitely signing up for more tours when I am back in Israel.
City of David and Underground Jerusalem Day Trip from Tel Aviv
The day trip started and ended on time. Everything was well organized! Danny Gerson was our tour guide and he was outstanding. I would gladly book a trip again, knowing he will be in charge. Danny is a great historian and he made sure everyone could see and hear all the details in regards to the tour. I would highly recommend him and the Bein Harim Israel Tours.
Amazing Experience
This was a totally action packed tour. I am amazed at all we were able to see in a day. It was a very hot day and the tour guide was aware of his guests and made sure we were okay and hydrated. My fit bit said we walked 5 miles. I am 66 and my husband is 71 and we did fine but were challenged at times. The tour covers both the City of David ruins / excavation site outside the walls of the old city and then the tour continues into Old Jerusalem. Our Guide Daniel, was very knowledgable and shared so much information. The underground tunnels were amazing. Highly recommend this tour.
Very good tour and guide
Our guide Roy was great. The tour was good too we had fun and enjoyed our time in Jerusalem. The only thing is the 2 transfers in the morning to get to our final bus but it wasn't too bad.
I had a wonderful tour- thanks to Dorit Epstein!
I joined this as part of my 3 day tour and loved it. Dorit Epstein was my guide and she's really good. It helps that she was a teacher so she remembered everyone's name. I'm also grateful that she walked me to my hotel doorstep, making sure that my luggage arrives at the hotel too. 5 star for her domain knowledge and outstanding service
