Holy Jerusalem Private Tour
Description
The best way to experience the holy city of Jerusalem is with a private tour, which will allow you to understand its complexity, learn about its rich history, experience the archeology and feel the culture. I love guiding, I love Jerusalem and the land of Israel and nothing makes me happier than to share this love with others. I present very rich and informative guidance while presenting the information in a very vivid manner. The tour covers topics far beyond the religious aspects, including history, geopolitics, cuisine, geology and culture. The tour is designed for you, and it can be tailor-made to fit your wishes. The tours are guided by Daniel or by his handpicked partners - all professional tour guides, fluent in English with licensed touristic vehicles. *Back-to-ship on-time guarantee!

Hired Israel with Fun for a private tour of the Old Jerusalem and was very pleased. Communication while booking was excellent using Whatsapp. Guide met us at our hotel and then we walked the entire route which was perfect. Unfortunately the conflict has affected tourism and it was obvious in sites being randomly unstaffed but we got to see everything we wanted to. It was nice to have some of the usually busy sites to ourselves but we felt for the locals that are struggling to feed their families.
Incredibly good tour of Jerusalem, we were picked up on time at the port in Haifa. Tal, who was our guide that day, was very good at introducing us to "his" Jerusalem. We learned a lot about the city, its eventful history and its mysticism. A fantastic lunch was part of it, as was a visit to a small but fascinating art gallery. At no time was there any rush. A private tour is not cheap, but it is definitely worth the money. Clearly recommended! Thank you for this unforgettable day!
We had a beyond wonderful time in the Holy Land with Daniel's handpicked expert guide, Zahi. I chose this private tour for two reasons. Jerusalem is very special, so it deserves a customized deep tour first, and the second reason is that my 78-year-old mom can't understand English; a Chinese guide is needed. I am so thankful that Daniel handpicked expert Zahi as our small group guild. He brought us to watch a 3D movie (Chinese language optional), walk through the underground tunnel belonging to the excavation site, let us read the Gospel of John to understand the scene of the Last Supper, climb to the secret rooftop to look out over the Western Wall, and walk along 15 stations of the Via Dolores, the holiest road in the world, the whole pass where Jesus was led to death. a very special 12-hour trip, including 5 hours of driving between Haifa and Jerusalem, but full of Jerusalem's historical significance, spiritual symbolism, and visual splendor. These secrets only a private tour can reveal. I really appreciate Zahi's hard work and professionalism.
We participated in the tour to Jerusalem from the port of Haifa and everything went very well from the first contact with the services until the end, helpful and kind staff, immediate return of contacts, modern and comfortable van, the guide Fabian was super dedicated. absolutely correct in every way. I definitely recommend.
Daniel was an amazing guide. Extremely knowledgeable of the area, and a great sense of humor which made the tour informing and very interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed the day spent with him for a wonderful tour of the Holy land. Highly recommended
Great walking tour of Jerusalem! We had a last minute tour guide change but we were kept in the loop every step of the way. Our guide met us at the hotel and we taxied to the Mount of Olives to begin the walking tour. We feel that our guide Gallo covered both the religious and historical sites with great knowledge and passion. He gave us the right amount of time on our own and made sure we kept on schedule so as not to miss any of our stops. And after 5.5 miles of walking, we felt invigorated and satisfied. We would highly recommend this tour - definitely a good value for the money - and 'Israel with Fun - Daniel Sigalov'.
This trip to Jerusalem was extremely informative, and breathtaking. The tour is intense, and you should be ready to walk, but rewarding. The guides were great, and helpful in all ways. Queen Essie, and Oreo Cookie (names we adopted for them) were so helpful, knowledgeable, and just plain nice! I would recommend this tour.
Gallo was amazing ! Even though I have visited this wonderful city several times before I saw it through a new perspective. I learned much,laughed often. and truly felt history and the city come alive. He is the Best Tour person I have had in my trips and tours here. I will always promote your wonderful business and Gallo to all I know who cone here. Thank you for being g such wonderful hosts..I hate to leave , but know I will return .. Thank you again!
Absolutely fantastic tour with Tal. We learned so much about the culture, history, people of the city of Jerusalem and Israel. Also saw so many sites of interest, far more than you would ever see on a group tour. Even enjoyed a traditional Israeli lunch. It was a once in a lifetime trip and well worth the cost. We were with Tal for over 12 hours. You will not regret booking this tour with Tal and Israel with fun. What a memorable day! Loved every minute of it.
Wow, felt comfortable with Daniel from the very beginning. His love and passion for his country is infectious as we were swept along in a tour giving us a very informed overview of the Holy City and everything it represents. Bravo, we loved it.
