We took a few tours and excursions during our vacation time in Israel and Greece-- but this Walking Tour of Jerusalem from Booqify was our favorite. To start, it was only 5 of us..so basically a private tour. Our other tour peeps were hilarious (and also from Florida like us) and we had a ton of fun the entire day. Our guide was Eva. We were so impressed with her. She was so very knowledgeable of everything we experienced on the tour. Majority of the Holy sites in the Old City are on this tour. You will walk approx 4.1 miles (according to my GPS watch) but it is the most unbelievable thing to experience. She had a great plan, and we avoided most lines and congestion. With a small group, we had an entire day of conversation not just about Jerusalem and the Sites, but about Israel and the future. We are so appreciative of her and her insight to all of this. It was a very special day for us. One of reflection and deep thinking. It is one we will remember forever. ...and guys if you're reading this from Boca...we hope we see you again. Y'all kicked it up a notch. Thanks R and V
Nadia had a real command of her facts and was very easy to get along with. Nadia made you feel at home and she was jovial, fun, and to the point. She provided a wealth of knowledge and direction in an exciting, playful and informative manner. We would have hired Nadia as our tour guide for the entirety of our vacation if possible.
We had a great tour with Shimon. There were a total of 5 of us on the tour that meant that it was quite intimate. The tour was quite long - 6 hours but the time flew by. Shimon was all that you want from a guide, knowledgeable, approachable and humorous. A really good introduction to the old city of Jerusalem.
Chava is an excellent and very professional guide.. Her knowledge helped us all understand a lot more of the history of Israel and its people🙏
Chava is awesome! We had a great time. She is well spoken and extremely knowledgeable. I’ve been to Jerusalem several times, but never got such a great explanation of so many aspects of it.
A perfect introduction to an extraordinary city with a simply brilliant guide (Gadi). We learned, walked, laughed and left richer for it. Thank you Gadi, brilliant experience and intro to Jerusalem
This was an excellent small group tour. Efrat created great rapport with us and gave engaging responses to our many questions on the history, religion and politics of this awe-inspiring and complicated place. Highly recommended.
Chava was an absolutely fantastic guide. She was very knowledgable about the city and history, and answered numerous questions that we had. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Jerusalem for the first time!
My family which includes 2 teenagers had a fantastic tour of the Old City. Our guide, Chava had a strong knowledge of the history of Jerusalem and provided an informative and interesting tour. Highly recommended!!!
It was a very interesting tour and very informative. We visited many sites and the guide was very helpful and nice. The coffee and lunch were ok too. I think that the price should be lower but again it was worth it.
