Overall experience was ok. The tour was cut short since another tour bus had theirs cut and we had to go back early Overall there is cut short of at least one hour of trip which is sad and horrendous considering the cost of the trip.
We appreciate you sharing this feedback and understand how disappointing it is when a tour ends earlier than expected, particularly given the cost. While we consistently strive to adhere to the planned itinerary, there are occasionally unforeseen operational circumstances that may impact the schedule. In such cases, our team works to minimize any disruption as much as possible and to ensure the overall experience remains smooth and enjoyable. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. — Tourist Israel Team
Our guide was very knowledgable of the history of Jerusalem. The tour was great and he was very helpful with our elderly parents.

Bad exhalation Very expensive for What has been explained. It seemed a nationalist tour, not explaining to Mode and thoroughly all the vicessitudes of the Place and past and the history of Israel We could have bought a guide and done the tour ourselves
Great day tour of Jerusalem with Jana who was full of knowledge and very professional. We got the chance to visit some secret spots of Jerusalem.
We're delighted to hear you had an incredible experience with Jana and that you got to discover all that Jerusalem has to offer! Thank you for your kind review.
Don't bother booking with this company they take your money send you a confirmation the night before but nobody picks you up nor do they answer the phone and they say you will be reimbursed just to shut you up 2 weeks later I'm still trying to get my money and I've returned home. Very bad business and I'm not the only person with this experience with this company also had it happen with another company in Israel. Third time I actually contacted another company to confirm before I booked and it was half price from this company. This company should be put out of business.
Very good trip, with a very good guide. We were able to see the best and special places of the Old City, including the Dome of the Rock.
First of all I would like to thank my tour guide Mr. Allen who is the best . He knows a lot and always answered all questions. All his explanations were perfect.
Allan was a great guide, made the whole trip worth while. Learned a lot and saw more that what we thought we could in a day. Glad we did it. Thanks Allan! He's even written a book!
This was a very worthwhile trip to Jerusalem, our guide Sevin was kind, knowledgable and managed the group very well. It is a long day so go along knowing this especially if it is a hot day. The sites we visited were spectacular, and I felt we spent a good amount of time at each. I wasn’t that keen to be asked to go into a specific shop to buy things, regardless of how much they promise to reduce the prices. My only other comment is that the aircon in the bus was way too high, freezing cold!1
Fast pace walking trip. Covers old and new Jerusalem. Interesting and enjoyable. Shahar is a great tour guide!
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the fast-paced walking tour of old and new Jerusalem with Shahar as your guide.
