We had a wonderful day with Michael and an excellent tour in Jericho, Bethlehem and at Dead Sea. We wanted to see some more places so we asked prior to booking for customizing the tour, It was very easy to customize it. He meet us at checkpoint 300 and he drove us to all sites we wanted to see as planned. We enjoyed eating lunch with him. Michael is an amazing tour guide with excellent knowledge of the historical, religious and geo-political stuff. I highly recommend Michael as a tour guide in Palastine

Michael is a very knowledgeable and personable guide. He was well organized and flexible to our interests. We found the tour to be extremely interesting and enlightening, furthering our understanding of the historical significance of events as well as of the current day situation in this area. It was shocking to see the changes in the Dead Sea that have occurred in recent years. Lastly, the food at the restaurant that we visited was outstanding - we had the best falafel we have ever tasted! Thank you.

We booked two tours with Michael and this was our first. Michael was very courteous and friendly and made sure he had communicated the appropriate clothing requirements prior to our meeting in the West Bank. During the day he always had cold water available during the many places we visited. Michael is extremely knowledgeable about the places we toured and his details made our day very interesting and worthwhile. I can't imagine having booked with anyone else; by the end of the day he felt like family.
