This is our flagship tour, and can set the stage for further exploration of the country.
The experience is intended for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians, to go a little beyond the 'Them and Us' discourse, and to learn from a guide who has in-depth knowledge of the issues as well as an alternative perspective.

Excellent tour with one of the best guides we've ever had. Malkon was incredibly smart, engaging and open. He gave us a great tour that was a perfect mix of historical facts and personal and general opinions, always making sure to point out which was which. His analysis and perspective were well-informed and clearly presented a viewpoint without trying to push it down our throats. We learned so much and truly enjoyed our day with him, only wishing we had more time. Definitely recommend!

We visited Jerusalem for the first time and did not have a lot of time but wanted to get an overview of the current situation as well. Superbly prepared guide and really interesting tour. Not to be missed

This was my first visit to Palestine, and although I thought I knew much about live under occupation, I learned so much more about the reality Palestinians have to face every day through this tour.
All the guides were very passionate about their work and did an amazing job. The families I lived and spent time with were just very kind and lovely people, and I hope I can return soon. Will highly recommend this tour, what an unforgettable experience! Thank you for everything.

This was our first time visiting Israel and the Old City. We met up with our guide Yehav, an incredibly knowledgeable and articulate interpreter of the history, politics and geography of Palestine, Israel, and the West Bank over the last 100 years. After orientation using a series of historical maps, we set off through Damascus Gate and on to various key outlooks. There is no substitute for viewing "the facts on the ground." Yehav presented the history and current situation objectively and with evidence.
We also enjoyed an excellent lunch at a "no name" restaurant in the Muslim Quarter.

We took both the 4 hour Greater Jerusalem tour and the 3 hour Old City Jerusalem tour (some people take them on the same day but we broke it up over two days). The experience was life changing. Our tour guide Rotem was incredibly knowledgeable and gracious. We learned so much history and now have a greatly expanded understanding of the situation in the area and how it impacts the daily life of its residents. We saw sacred sites, we saw refugee camps, we met residents, and so much more.
And yes, Rotem always made sure we had bathroom breaks, and water breaks, and the bus (for the Greater Jerusalem portion) was very clean and had an excellent driver. Green Olive is fantastic. I can't recommend them enough.
