Hazem is the most knowledgeable, engaging, and kind tour guide I've ever had. Our experience visiting these remarkable places would not have been the same without him. He is deeply knowledgable about politics, history, religion and is an incredible storyteller. It was so nice to be able to take our time and learn things at our leisure, stopping at different small places along the way. There are so many details about these holy and historical places that Hazem points out that are so fascinating and really demonstrate his knowledge. It is a very different experience than going with those big tour groups, which are often impersonal and you really don't learn as much. A private tour with Hazem is worth *every penny* and you will leave knowing so much more about Palestine and seeing places you would have never been to on your own. In addition to the Jericho and Bethlehem tours, we also did private tours of Nablus, Ramallah, and of Jerusalem's old city. A tour with Hazem is a MUST! He is really the best.

Hazem was fantastic. So incredibly knowledgeable and made it such a great day. It was my birthday and it was well spent. It was hard to fit everything into one day but Hazem made sure I had all the high points it information. We hit it off well and by the end of the day, we decided we’re cousins. Would recommend Hazem to anyone!

Hazem was the perfect guide for our visit to Bethlehem and Jericho - gracious, welcoming, attentive and knowledgeable, besides being accommodating. Not only did we visit the historical religious sites of the Nativity and Shepherd’s Church, as well as the Jordan River, but sites in-between. We saw and lived actual history too along the way and between the Occupied Territory and Israel proper. Can’t thank enough, highly recommend.

Thank you very much Hazem. We had a fascinating morning with you - we really appreciated your extensive knowledge about Bethlehem & Christianity. We also feel very grateful to have received such a clear, dignified and personal explanation about Palestinian history and current living conditions on the West Bank. We wish you and your family well Arohanui Juliet & Hamish

This tour was super interesting. Hazem knows a lot about the areas we visited and was accommodating to include other site visits in the tour on our request. He explained things in great detail and was fun to be with. We had many great laughs, but he also does not shy away from serious topics which gives you a different point of view on the Palestine-Israeli relationship in past and present. Super interesting tour and I highly recommend doing a tour with him. Thank you Hazem. We are still processing the overload of impressions and information.

We took a private half day tour of Bethlehem with Hazem in August 2023 meeting on the Palestinian side of check point 300. The bus and checkpoint crossing were very straightforward. Hazem is incredibly passionate, knowledgeable and open to any questions. We enjoyed an extremely informative tour, with great communication and flexibility from Hazem before and during. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Highly recommended

Hazem explained and showed us a lot about the situation in this area. He also took us to all kinds of interesting places and ate in a very nice restaurant. he had a lot of background information.

The tour with Hazem was incredible. He exceeded my expectations in many ways (stories on side, authentic connection to local culture and history, Feeling extremely safe even in Hebron, clean car, local food places.. etc.). I highly recommend to book a Tour with Hazem when being in Palestine!

Hazem gave me and my friend a very interesting and inspiring tour through Hebron and Bethlehem. I am very happy to had the chance to learn from him. I can only recommend a tour with Hazem. Thanks a lot!

Hazem is a wonderful guide. We met him in Bethlehem for our Jericho and Jordan River tour. He provided a truly customized experience for us and was mindful of all the details (clean car, water, comfortable pace). My husband and I always forget to take pictures, but Hazem snapped a few photos of us and sent afterwards. It was a very thoughtful gift at the end of an enjoyable tour. We would book Hazem again for future tours.

Happy and Sad          A pilgrimage to Bethlehem is every Filipino's dream. Our dream came true last week and our guide, Hazem Bannouri gave us a very interesting insight about this city. An affable guy, he knows the history of the Church of the Nativity and Shepherd’s Field in Beit Sahour the by the palm of his hands. We are truly grateful to him. But, we also felt very sad when we visited the UN Aida Refugee Camp. We already knew that not all is well between Israel and Palestine, but seeing the realities of war 1st hand and innocent victims of this (children) made us very sad. My family and I will include Israel and Palestine in our prayers. Both are very wonderful countries and, we hope that true peace will come to this place someday. Incidentally, we Filipinos call this place, the Holy Land.  Shalom, Inshallah, God Bless! -George, Jennifer, Isabella and Aaron Hizon from Manila, Philippines

Hazem is a great guide, knowledgeable, informative, has very good communication skills. On the other hand, he listens to and answers our questions.

If you are looking for a wonderful, kind and knowledgeable local guide—Hazem Bannoura is truly an incredible guide. We were able to tour Bethlehem, Hebron & Jericho. His knowledge and love of history made the day so interesting. He was able to help us minimize lines in Bethlehem and since he grew up in Bethlehem knew of the perfect places for meals, hotels & was well liked by other guides and security personal we encountered. He is a very safe driver and gave us the tour we asked for. Taylor made for what we were interested in. Thank you Hazem. We will be using this tour guide again when we travel back to Israel next year.

Hazem is a great guide, full of knowledge about the situation and the people here. He has a very reflected opinion and offers an interesting perspective on living here in an area full of people hating each other. He surely gives you a lot of insights into life in Bethlehem and the area. Surely not a classical tourist tour but if you want to hear what people actually think here, I would highly recommend going with him and talking with him.

On time like a swiss watch, knowing many stories from the past and of nowadays, super driving skills, blessed with a great sense of humor, friendly and sensitive nature, keeping calm even in difficult situations, knowing a LOT of people, Hazem is gift, when you are looking for tourgide Palestine!
