Great tour of the Old City in Jerusalem as well as the City of David underground water system and the pilgrims’ path to the Temple Mount. Led by an experienced guide.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We believe some of the most powerful experiences in Israel come from walking through the places where history unfolded. From the streets of the Old City to the ancient tunnels of the City of David and the Pilgrims' Path, this tour is designed to connect travellers with Jerusalem's story in a meaningful way. We're so pleased your guide helped bring that experience to life.
This walking tour was unexpectedly brilliant. The guide Alicia was deeply knowledgeable and passionate about Jerusalem and its history and people. She knew the best places to visit and many unique locations that we would not otherwise have seen. She answered with patience all our questions and we learned a lot . Many thanks Alicia!
We’re really glad you enjoyed this experience! Showing travelers places they wouldn’t discover on their own is exactly what Tourist Israel tours are designed to do, and Alicia’s passion clearly came through.
Excellent tour and professional, expert guide. Highly recommendable for families, groups or solo travelers. Jerusalem deserves this level of service
Thank you, Silvia. Tourist Israel tours are designed to suit families, groups, and solo travelers alike. We’re delighted you felt the tour showcased Jerusalem at its best.
Modi our guide very knowledgeable and accommodating. Would use him again. Only concern is that would have liked more Judaica emphasis on day tour of Jerusalem Booking was easy
Thank you! We're so glad to hear you had a great experience with Modi-he's definitely known for his knowledge and warm approach. We also appreciate your note about wanting more emphasis on Judaica during the Jerusalem day tour. Your input helps us continue to improve and tailor our tours to better meet our travelers' interests. We're happy the booking process was smooth and would love to welcome you back again soon!
The operator canceled the trip without any notice—no email, no phone call, no text. I only found out as I was about to leave for the meeting point. This level of communication is completely irresponsible and unacceptable.
Tour guide was very nice, knowledgeable, efficient and experienced. Highly appreciated and recommended! Thanks again
Our tour guide Hanoch Young was very knowledgeable, thoughtful/mindful and genuine. There is integrity in his recount history of the places visited and tried to remember the important, salient related stories related to them. Even if we had to pay for an extra person to run the tour, it was all worth it!!! Thank you for running a tour that is authentic and enjoyable too!
The company Tourist Israel is Amazing. Ludo was our Agent and took awesome care of me and my group. She handled all my worries and helped me plan 8 tours and our hotel . This company and Agent Ludo will be a wonderful choice for anyone! I give them the highest rating!
We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with Tourist Israel and Ludo. We appreciate your feedback and hope to assist you on your next journey.
We had a full day private tour of Jerusalem with our family of seven. Oren our guide was highly knowledgeable and flexible with our changes to itinerary due to older people in our group.
Dear Misha, We're delighted that you had a great full-day private tour of Jerusalem with Oren as your guide. It's fantastic to hear that his expertise and flexibility in adjusting the itinerary to accommodate your group's needs made the experience enjoyable for your family. Should you wish to explore more in the future, we're here to help you create more wonderful memories!
