Did two tours with Yamin one to Bethlehem and Ramallah and one to Jericho and the dead sea the next day. Have travelled extensively over the years and these tours absolutely rate highly. Would highly recommend to anyone who want to see the reality that is the West Bank. Yamin's six door merc limo is an absolute machine to tour... More

Our trip with Green Olive was thought provoking and eye opening. I had only ever thought about what was going on here in a very shallow way, The people who give us the tours are people who live with the way of life every day, and all they want to be able to earn their own living without restriction or...

A thought-provoking tour in a good way. Knowledgeable guide and good drivers. Tour content and focus matched its description. Would do it again.

I highly recommend anyone taking this tour and others from this company, whether you are familiar with the situation and history or not. Itamar, and Israeli gave us a completely balanced portrayal, background info and correct historical facts of Palestine/Israel on this tour. I had so many questions and he graciously answered all of them and I learned so much... More

Our trip to Israel started out boring and just like any other European country visit, but with better food and weather! We decided to spice up our holiday and go for a tour of the west bank, which so many Israeli's told us was a bad idea. We were so glad we did and got to see a side of... More

We took the one day tour of Bethlehem and it was great! Our tour guide Yamen gave us insight into the Palestinian situation that we would not have gotten anywhere else. While we were focused on seeing Bethlehem and the traditional Christian sites, this tour allowed us to do that and much, much more. We drove through the Judean desert,... More

I wanted to see Bethlehem and some of the West Bank and thought it would be interesting to hear the "other side of the story" that is often not fully discussed in the media. Samer a Palestinian Christian was our guide and I thought he did an excellent job describing his life and experiences living there. I also enjoyed seeing... More

I very much appreciate the chance to learn from these folks. They had very well informed local guides, with perspectives you never hear in the US. The local home stay was fantastic, and I really got a flavor what what it means to be local in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. I took the four day tour, and really... More

I don't normally go on coach tours as previous experience has put me off them. However this was an exception - it was a small group (around 12) which made it easy to meet others. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly and informative. The 'normal' tourist itinerary was covered (and covered well) but in addition there was the opportunity to ask... More
