Both Sides of the River Jordan – Holy Land Tours

Our guide kept us on schedule so we do not miss anything. Our guide, Lital, made every spot alive and interesting by connecting it with events in the Old and New Testament. She was great, respectful, pleasant, always looking after our needs. She is a great asset to the company. Our Jordan guide was also respectful and attentive to our needs. The same was true with our drivers. Even when sickly and hectic schedule, we have no regrets.

This was an absolutely fantastic trip! I can't speak highly enough of the service we received. From excellent and knowledgeable tour guides, to wonderful bus/shuttle drivers, to great food and hotel selections; and most certainly, covering so many wonderful Biblical places that did indeed bring the Bible to life. Our primary tour guide, Tamar (Israel) was super! She was very knowledgeable and simply a fun guide. She made sure we stand on-point to meet time schedules, etc. Our one-day guide, Yosi (Israel; Masada and Dead Sea) was also well-versed on the history of the area, a wealth of information and very friendly. Our Jordan tour guide, Sam, was equally knowledgeable and fun to be with. He really looked out for us, particularly to ensure that we had an "easy" crossing out of Jordan back into Israel. He and our driver (Jud) surprised me with a birthday cake for my birthday. They were over-the-top. It was the best trip I have been on to date! I would absolutely recommend AIT to my family and friends. Well done to all and thank you so much for making this such a great experience with a lifetime of happy memories!

Our tour guide Yair was wonderful. He knew the history, archeology and the biblical connections. I was very pleased with his use of the bible in his explanations. He was organized and prepared at all times. He dealt well with the variety of personalities in our group, a good listener and friendly to all. We had a wonderful time. One of the highlights was be baptized by a good friend in the Jordan River."

Petra was one of the key stops on our tour. I wouldn't book a trip unless it is in the package. I loved Petra. Rode a horse the first 1/2 mile into it, then walked, then rode a camel on the way back until we were at the horse stop and rode the horse the rest of the way. It was so awesome. LOVED the treasury. Amazing how they could carve it all out of the rock!"

I had an amazing time with Ranaan during Both Sides of the River Jordan tour June 20-July 1! I'm sending an email to let you know how pleased I was with the tour. Ranaan had the right balance of sharing information in way that was not overwhelming and was open to having side conversation when people wanted more in-depth information about the site we were visiting, cultural traditions and so much more. He also did a wonderful job gauging the pulse and energy of the group. We ranged in age from 15-81 and he made adjustments to accommodate everyone in the group. He is phenomenal! I'm recommending America Israel Tours and Ranaan to anyone who has asked about visiting Israel. Kudos as well to Orvad for being the best driver! I napped often on the bus, which shows I felt safe with Orvad behind the wheel. Thanks for an amazing trip!"

My husband and I would like to thank you for arranging such a friendly and helpful guide, Michael Safar, for our trip, May 31-June 2nd to Jordan. If we wanted certain photo opportunities, he arranged it. If we had questions for which he was unsure of the answer, he came back the next day with the answer. He was very knowledgeable. He knew the history, the geology the culture and the biblical history of the area very well. However, more importantly, he was always pleasant and he made the trip very relaxing and enjoyable. We would certainly recommend him as a guide for anyone wishing to tour Jordan."

The Israel/Jordan Tour through America Israel Tours was a wonderful experience and it began with Pauline and Regan assisting us and all of the help we received along the way. I would like to single out Ronnie, our Israeli guide. He was punctual, extremely knowledgeable, armed with a wonderful sense of humor, and he kept the attention of 30 tourists for six days and that isn't easy. My wife, Lillibeth, and I think Ronnie is the best guide we've ever had and we've been on many tours. I suggest you keep Ronnie busy as he understands the North American culture. Michele, our guide in Jordan, was also very pleasant and knowledgeable. The Jordanians to a person were very friendly. It was our first visit to Israel and Jordan and we want to thank America Israel Tours for a well-run tour around the Holy Land."

We have traveled extensively overseas and have been on many guided tours (over 20 without really counting). We have never been on a tour that matched the one we just experienced with America Israel Tours. We visited Israel and Jordan on the Christian Both Sides of the River Jordan Tour. The Israel Tour Guide, Shlomo, was the best most knowledgeable guide we have ever experienced. He knew the Christian heritage as well as the Jewish history and put it all in perspective. He could quote bible verses when they were appropriate and had bible readings at locations that were directly noted in the bible. He had a great sense of humor and provided personal service to all the participants. I am gluten sensitive and Shlomo asked the cooks at each restaurant what dishes contained flour or bread. He then pointed out what I could eat. I highly recommend America Israel Tours and think now is the best time to travel to Israel and Jordan because the tourist visitation is at a low. We never saw or experienced anything that gave us any concern about our safety.”

Ronnie was our tour guide for the Israel portion. He has to be the best tour guide in Israel!! He was very knowledgeable, kind, tolerant and patient. He provided us with a wealth of historical knowledge of every site we visited. He also ensured all of our personal needs were met at every single hotel we stayed at. The driver of the bus, Uri, was also great. I was amazed at his driving skills on such narrow roads. He too was a joy to be around. After we completed the Israel side of our tour we went to Jordan to see the sites. The border crossing was made very simple for us. We had VIP service going both directions and we didn't have to wait in any lines. Judy from America Israel Tours in Israel had set up all of those services for us. She was great at keeping us informed and providing accurate information. All of the Hotels we stayed in were also wonderful. The service was above and beyond the call of duty and the food was excellent. Michael was our tour guide in Jordan. He was also a wealth of information. He was very patient when we asked questions. He was very knowledgable of history as well as the Christian Religion. He took as much time with us as we needed. He was with us one day after visiting Petra until 7:00 p.m. He went back to the hotel with us to ensure we all got checked in of and that everything was good with our rooms. Caesar and I stayed an extra 3 days in Jerusalem after the tour was over and revisited some of the sites Ronnie had taken us to. The information Ronnie provided to us made re-visiting the sites a better experience. A super thank you to all who were involved in making our trip wonderful!”
