  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.

  We spent 10 days with Holy Land VIP and it is a time we will never forget! Our pilgrimage included three generations all on our first journey to Israel and... read more on to Jordan. I started working with Daniel and Lulu months in advance and might have had more questions than they’ve ever received before! Both were incredibly patient and helpful throughout the process. Being our first time to this part of the world and a detailed planner myself, there were lots of nerves going in, but the entire team made this so easy. We were met hours before sunrise on our first day by a wonderful guide, Hanna, and a great driver! We learned more than we ever could’ve imagined and made memories to last a lifetime. We can’t wait to return one day and would consider no one other than Holy Land Vip to lead us again. Best wishes to you all going forward. I can’t recommend this group highly enough!

  My family of four (2 children in their mid/late teens) had a most enriching 11-day experience of Israel and Petra, with Holyland VIP Tour. We'd readily recommend Holyland VIP... read more to anyone planning a private tour of the Holy Land.

I appreciate VIP Tour's genuine attempts to accommodate our personal preferences. I put in a last-minute request, just prior to our arrival in Israel; it was granted, no questions asked. Separately, special timing-and-transport arrangements were made for us to visit an additional Israeli site, once we were back in Israel from Petra and before our flight home. It was for a site our guide knew my son wanted to visit badly, but which we had to decide to forgo earlier. VIP Tour's commitment to our small group was unwavering throughout.

If you are searching for a true sense of how life is in Israel and the Palestinian Authority, apart from visiting the holy sites, VIP Tour would be a great place to start. Often, we either bumped into or got to meet our guide's friends and relatives, and people who share our faith. The total experience - the banter, the camaraderie that was as strong as strong could be, and the sobering experiences - have softened our hearts and opened our eyes. Lasting memories.

We had a gem of a guide/driver in Daniel Sahwani. Daniel has an uncanny knack of making our day. And he was generously tolerant of us on the first few 'difficult days' he had with us. He simply assumed that the trip would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for each of us and busied himself to make it memorable. He's the best guide we've ever had on all our family tours.

But our trip to Israel with Daniel was even more than just a nice experience for everyone. We were all totally enthusiastic and today we rave about the most impressive journey of our lives. Daniel unites all things to make the journey perfect: he is a Palestinian with an Israeli passport, a committed Christian and has spent most of his life living in a Jewish environment. Not only does he speak Arabic, Hebrew and English, but he is also at home in all these cultures and well connected. 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.
