Private Tour Jerusalem Old City

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience in the old city of Jerusalem led by Chava. She is incredibly well informed, and knows the ins and outs of this highly complex historical place. What a special experience as she wove in the multiple historical levels of history to help bring this city’s significance alive.

We had a wonderful day tour of Old Jerusalem with our tour guide, Menno. Menno was responsive and accommodating from the time we booked our tour. Before we had even left for Israel, he messaged us to answer our questions and give suggestions for our tour as well as ideas for the rest of our trip. On the tour, we felt like we got a great overview that included all of the major sights we wanted to see in the Old City. Menno was enthusiastic, personable, and knowledgeable and did a nice job explaining the historical context for everything we were seeing. Despite what may be happening in the world, we felt very safe and thoroughly enjoyed our tour as well as the rest of our trip to Israel, which has so much history and life to offer its visitors.

Menno has shown us the entire ancient city of Jerusalem, from the Mount of Olives and Gethsemane to the city and the tomb of David, the tomb church and all Catholic pomp. While walking, he tells about the history of the Jewish people in a clear timeline, but also about current events. If you are Dutch and want to get to know Jerusalem, you can't ignore Menno.

Menno was a fantastic, fantastic guide. He captivated my 6yo son with historical facts about Israel and Jerusalem for 8hrs straight and went toe-to-toe with 90 year old father impressing him with his knowledge of the same. Highly recommend.

I came without thinking for the first time to Jerusalem, being from Holland, when I heard that there were very few tourists. I am 68 and walk not too good, so it was an enterprise. I contacted a guide, Menno de Vries and he was just wonderful, he gave a great tour to Jerusalem, having a lot of knowledge of the history and he also arranged for me to get baptized. He filmed the baptism and later he carried my bag as usual. He also helped me to find and book a great hotel at the Via Dolorosa. I could totally rely on him for everything, good restaurants, changing money etc. but you can also learn about politics today, he is very nice to talk to. I couldn't have imagined a better guide, he was a real gift. Now I have beautiful memories of Jerusalem. Janine Rhijnsburger

Great experience with a great guide. Menno knew almost everything to tell us, did not hesitate to look behind open doors, is open to conversation. Recommended for anyone who wants just a little more than the standard trip.

Menno is a very knowledgeable guide and super friendly. Gave us a real experience to remember. Highly recommend booqify and visiting Jerusalem

Monica knows every little piece of Jerusalem and her information was incredibly perfect! Your knowledge is Note 1000

My wife and I had a wonderful three-day guided tour with Monica in Telaviv and Jerusalem. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, dedicated and efficient. She goes the extra mile to understand what you want to see and do, and adjusts the itinerary accordingly. She carries around a file with large pictures and maps which are very helpful as visual aids to her explanations.

Because of knowledge of the stories and history, the archaeological layers get much more interesting to watch and experience. Menno has a lot of knowledge about it and nice to hear his answer on our questions.
