Hello everyone, my name is Georgette, and I'm thrilled to be your tour guide! As a Palestinian Christian born and raised in the beautiful city of Bethlehem, I have a deep connection to the rich cultural heritage and history that this place holds. My journey to becoming a tour guide took an interesting path. After completing my studies in Italy for an incredible six years, I felt a strong pull towards sharing my knowledge and love for my country with visitors from all over the world. So, I decided to combine my passion for history, culture, and religion with my language skills. Currently, I work as a tour guide, conducting tours in both English and Italian. It brings me immense joy to showcase the wonders of Palestine to curious travelers like you. Every day, I meet new people and get to learn from their experiences as much as I get to share mine. What drives me the most is my love for what I do. I genuinely enjoy showing people around, telling stories that have been passed down through generations, and revealing hidden gems that make Palestine, especially Bethlehem so unique. I believe that every traveler should feel like an old friend, and I do my best to create an atmosphere of warmth and excitement throughout the tour. So, if you're ready to embark on a memorable journey through the heart of Palestine, where you'll experience the beauty of our cultural heritage and witness the marvels of agriculture and religions in this region, I'm here to be your guide. Let's explore Palestine together and make this an unforgettable experience for all of us! I am a Palestinian licensed tour guide certified by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Palestine. My license number is 140391. If you have inquiries for more than 3 people, please message me.

Overview of your Bethlehem tour

During this day tour, you will get the chance to be baptized in the Jordan River by a priest with prearrangement . This is one of the most special experiences and moment of spirituality you may have in the Holy Land taking the blessings in the Jordan River renewing your faith in the same river where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ almost 2000 years ago. Also you'll have the opportunity to visit the Grotto where Jesus was born. As a Bethlimite who loves her city, I'll be happy to share with you and guide you to the most sacred sites in Bethlehem. You will truly touch the heart of the holy land and feel connected to its miracles.
