Moh is very knowledgeable abourh Bethlehem and a great storyteller. We were in the middle of the tour when the US-Israel vs Iran war started, and Moh did everything to keep me safe. The fact that he was able to continue as if nothing happened says a lot about the resilience of the Palestinians and was an educational aspect of the tour in itself.

This tour was an outstanding experience that we can clearly recommend. On the one hand, we gained extremely fascinating yet also painful insights into the Palestinian side of history and into everyday life; on the other hand, we visited numerous significant religious sites as well as the Old City. The conversations with Moh were open and familiar, and he approaches you like a long-time friend. It was an exceptionally enriching day that we will always remember. Many thanks to Moh, and all the best to him and his family.
