Travel agency: Pegas Touristik Туроператор (Kyiv) Service type: экскурсионный тур |
A very big disappointment was the trip to Israel with Pegasus. To get to know the new country better, I chose a 2-day excursion program. I will not describe in detail the difficulties of traveling by bus, the 3-hour border crossing, and the fact that it took 2 times longer to travel than the tour guides tell. The most annoying thing is that in 2 days we
1. swam in the Dead Sea,
2. saw the Church of the Birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem,
3. We were kept in a shop with icons for more than an hour (where the same icons, candles, etc. cost 4!!!! times more than in any tent near the temple or even among the Arabs on the border).
4. visited the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
ALL! the rest was taken up by the move. It was very unpleasant to find out that the guys who chose even 1-day excursions from other tour operators had a much more extensive program. We haven't seen Israel!!! we saw 2 temples and spent 2 days on it. We were not even allowed to walk through the streets of the Old Town.
It is fair to note the pros: the historian guide for 4+, the hotel in Bethlehem, where we spent the night, is very pleasant and comfortable - 5.
