Excellent Tour Company and Guides

We did two days one of Jerusalem and the next day Nazareth, Capernaum, Galilee, and baptism in Jordan. Excellent tour through Ben Harim tour company. Yosef and Udi were fantastic guides and so accommodating. Our mom needs special assistance and they walked slow, took easier routes. Busses were comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend this company.

<p>We had booked two separate days of tours in Ashdod and Haifa. We were pleasantly surprise to find we had the same guide Eli for both. What a great two days. He took us everywhere and explained to us both historical and present day views. This was by far the best two days of our 18 day trip.</p>
