"Favorite tour of my life"

Hi, we had a great experience working with Daniel and going on the tour led by Eli. Eli was very knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. He also was our driver. I learned a ton of facts about Israeli history, current events and demographics, about things from water desalination projects to the efforts of local Christians to revive the endangered language of Aramaic, spoken by Jesus. We saw numerous churches and archaeological sites. It was inspiring and my favorite tour in my life.
