Zahi Shaked was our amazing tour guide. He was very educated, kind, high energy, and the perfect tour guide. I will recommend him to all my friends that want any sort of tour. I came out of my tour with a meaningful and eye-opening experience. He took us to extra spots since we had the time and I saw more than I could have ever imagined in one day. He knew endless locals that all told us we had the best tour guide. We all felt lucky to have him. Thank you Zahi.
We are very happy to read that you came away with an elightening tuour expereince guide by Tzahi. He is most worthy of such rave feedback for his efforts, professional manner and deep knowledge.
Zahi Shaked was a fantastic guide. I couldn't believe the all day tour was over. I could have spent all night with him also. I can not wait to take another with him. I just wish they had hotel pick up.
Thanks so much for this rave review of your tour guided by Tzahi.He is most worthy of your feedback for his manner, rich experience and professionalism throughout. Glad to kow that it wasa memorable day Regrettably presently Hotel pick ups have become more and more logoistic complexiities, road closures,traffic and delays that we cannot incorporate, especially per passenger location. We do try our best!
It's a good amount of walking and stairs. I loved the behind the scenes info I didn't see or find on my own. Warm in the sun be prepared. Jacob moves fast so be quick with your camera.
Thanks so much for this feedback of lyour tour by Jacob. He is a pro with years of experience.We are most appreciative that you share this experience for being enjoyable and enlightening
We met our driver/guide at the King David Citadel Hotel, which was across the street from ours. The driver/guide was very communicative so we knew where and when to meet. He had a group of ten, which was a great size for the tour. He led us through the Old City and explained much of its history. He was careful to explain the timeline with varying perspectives. He then had lunch arranged for us in the Jewish Quarter. Following that he drove us to a checkpoint and arranged for a guide from the Palestinian side to take us to Bethlehem. We felt safe and had a tour of the Church of the Nativity and stop at a local shop for coffee and shopping. We rejoined our original driver/guide he took us back to our hotel. Great and informative day.
Thanks so much for this clear and detalied account of your day tour including the crossover to Bethlehem. We are always glad when travellers come away feeling they have been enriched by their tour experience with us and our professional guides and service people

It sounds like you had an enjoyable and stimulating tour experience.Not sure why the 3 stars only??? You praised the guide for his efforts and knowledge?.. Surely worthy of more rating1
Eyal is an excellent guide. His knowledge of the ancient city is terrific. We have a nice drive though new Jerusalem and Eyal pointed out all places of importance. Unfortunately, our visit to Yad Vashem was not as expected but our guide’s quick thinking had us exploring often overlooked aspects of this museum. Overall a fantastic experience.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed exploring both ancient and modern Jerusalem with Eyal, and that his extensive knowledge helped bring the city’s history to life. We’re sorry that your visit to Yad Vashem was not as expected, but we’re glad Eyal was able to guide you to meaningful and often overlooked parts of the museum. We truly appreciate your feedback and are happy to know the day was overall a fantastic experience.
The guide Daniel was excellent, but the company didn’t know that Yad Vashem that was 1/2 of the tour was closed!
We’re glad to hear how much you enjoyed Daniel’s guiding. On that morning, Yad Vashem was unexpectedly closed without prior notice to tour operators, and unfortunately this was completely outside the company’s control. We understand the disappointment and did our best to adjust the itinerary so the group could still have a meaningful day. Thank you for sharing your experience.
