Jyst came back from Holyland tour with Daniel Sahwani. That was the best tour with lots of information and visit lots of places. Thank you Daniel for the the tour.

  Five of us joined Daniel on 7 day tour of Israel. He was a truly wonderful guide. He put together a trip with many moving and unique experiences. We took... read more a private boat tour on the Sea of Galilee experiencing sunshine and stormy atmospheric conditions while singing along to beautiful Christian hymns. We took a Jeep tour of the Golan heights traveling only meters from the Syrian border and climbing through tunnels bunkers and bombed out buildings. My husband had the once in a lifetime experience of being baptised in the Jordan River. We had a magnificent home cooked meal with a Christian Palestinian family. The food was yummy and one of the family played and sang for us. A truly unique experience! These were only a few of the fantastic activities that Daniel organised. Every day was jammed packed with so many sites Jewish Christian Moslem and Roman and every day we ate like Kings at local Restaurants. He was full of information of the culture, history and politics of Israel. We wished to walk the areas where Christ walked and he very much fulfilled that aim. I highly recommend Daniel as a guide and I have experienced many guides in many countries. He is certainly of very high quality. He is caring supportive and sets out to organise a trip for each persons wants. Thank you Daniel so much for making our trip to Israel so special.

  Daniel guided us on a 13 day tour of Israel and we cannot speak highly enough of him and our overall experience. Daniel was knowledgeable, flexible, highly social, cooperative and... read more highly organised. He gave us terrific insight into the social, cultural and political environment in Israel in the context of the Christian faith. He went out of his way to ensure that we saw all of the significant sites from a Christian perspective. As a result, he was able to energise our faith as we gained a greater appreciation not only of the geography of the land, but also because Daniel helped to “bring to life” the Gospel stories and the life of Christ as revealed in them. Importantly, Daniel brought his own perspective as an Arab Israeli and was forthright in his opinions, which we found most refreshing. Combined with a great sense of humour, and a great network of friends/ contacts which greatly assisted in getting quick access to sites, Daniel has a unique ability to make a tour of Israel an unforgettable experience.

  My family of 4 (including 2 children ages 10 &12) enjoyed a most memorable trip to the Holy Lands and Jordan thanks to Holy Land VIP Tours. As Greek Orthodox... read more Christians, it was very important for us to have a Christian guide. After being misled by another guide company, we scrambled to find a true Christian guide for our trip in late December. I’m so glad Daniel and his guides were able to work with us! Our trip would not have been the same without them. Everyone from Daniel, his assistant, Lulu, George and evening our driver Sammy felt like family after a short time together. Daniel made sure to get us into Bethlehem on Christmas Eve (a truly remarkable experience) and bypassed the line to venerate the birthplace of Jesus. It was incredible. Just as our day touring the old city and The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is one we will never forget. We had fascinating conversations and experiences every day. I highly recommend booking your personal guide through VIP Tours. Worth every penny!

  We recently returned from a two week visit to Israel and Jordan with our family of four (kids ages 14 and 16). Daniel was not available at the time of... read more our trip, so he set us up with this colleague Ramzi who served as our guide throughout our time in Israel. In Jordan, our guide was Anas. Both Ramzi and Anas were knowledgeable, professional, and very accommodating. Daniel promised to take care of all of the details from the time of arrival until our departure. He kept that promise and put together a very memorable and educational trip. As Catholics, it was powerful and enlightening to visit the locations where Jesus lived, taught, healed and was crucified. In addition to the religious aspects of our trip, we also had many other memorable experiences such as dinner with a local Christian family in Palestine, a jeep tour through the Golan Heights, eating knafeh in a Palestinian market, floating in the Dead Sea, and hiking through Petra in Jordan (one of the seven wonders of the world). I highly recommend Hold Land VIP tours. More

At all of... read more the Biblical sites, he did so much more than just point out locations and buildings— he taught directly from the Bible, reading from relevant passages at different places along the way, showing us how seeing the sites, paying attention to small details, and knowing the context reinforces the historicity of the Bible. In addition to his Biblical knowledge, the cultural insights we learned from spending time with him were invaluable. We learned so much about the plight of Christians living in Israel and Palestine and appreciated his concerted efforts to take us to restaurants and shops operated by Christians. We also saw a much more nuanced version of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than we see portrayed in US news today and came away with a fuller understanding and a new perspective. The cultural experiences he facilitated for us were certainly a highlight of the trip including lunch with a wonderful and welcoming Christian family in Bethlehem as well as all the delicious and authentic regional food!
I highly recommend Daniel and his team of Christian guides in the Holy Land.

One always feels completely safe in his presence, not only because of his trained physique. He is a caring tour guide, always has chilled water in the car, is responsive to everyone and cares comprehensively about the well-being. Through him we got to know the best local food and got to visit any place we wanted to. We really appreciated his high level of knowledge and expertise in both the Bible and the historical and current political situation. Last but not least, we were impressed by his driving skills.

  Daniel and his Holy Land VIP Tours team were superb in all regards. We had a customized and flexible 7 day tour of Israel, including the northern coast, Galilee,... read more Golan Heights, Jericho, the Dead Sea, Jerusalem and Bethlehem, plus transfers to and from Jordan and Tel Aviv airport. Other special experiences included my baptism in upper Jordan River, Private cruise on the Sea of Galilee, and wonderful home dinner with a Palestinian Christian family. We discovered that the unique and priceless aspect of Daniel and his team was being led by a Christian guide, which comprise only 1% of the licensed guides in Israel. We were blessed to have Daniel as our guide, who as a Palestinian Christian is a native of Jerusalem, spent summers growing up in Galilee, and is tri-lingual in Hebrew, Arabic and English. Daniel provided broad as well as extensive in-depth knowledge, from a Christian perspective, on the geography, history, religions, archeology and politics of each region (which was VERY different from the non-Christian guides we overheard and that my wife had on a previous visit). He was a warm, generous, humorous and articulate host for our incredible journey through Israel and the Palestinian territories, following Jesus’ steps, in the context of the ancient Jewish and Roman world which Daniel brought to life. I recommend Daniel and Holy Land VIP Tours in the very highest terms. Easily the best guide I’ve had in my lifetime of travel in over 60 countries. Fantastic!

He took us to a lot of really great local restaurants and secret spots, especially in Jerusalem. Another great feature is that you can also visit the Palestine Area with Daniel.
