Israel's Famous Landmarks: Reviews of Holy Land Tour Operators

With 3.5 million visitors to the Holy Land every year, tourism comprises between 6 and 7 percent of Israel’s GDP, according to the Israeli Ministry of Tourism. Many foreigners go online to book travel packages through tour operators, but not all of them are scrupulous.

There are no online websites readily available for reporting bad actors in the Holy Land tourism industry, but browsing through Trip Advisor can give you a sense of the operators that travelers are bragging about online. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g293983-d1946663-Reviews-Guided_Tours_Israel_Day_Tours-Jerusalem_Jerusalem_District.html
