Had Daniel as our guide and he was excellent. Very informed about all of the things we looked at and very well prepared. Highly recommend Daniel for a tour of the old city.
We are so glad you enjoyed your time with Daniel. Tourist Israel Old City tours are led by guides chosen for their deep historical knowledge and preparation, and it is wonderful to hear that came through so clearly. We will gladly pass along your recommendation to him.
BEWARE! Do NOT book with this company! The last interaction you'd have with them is when they TAKE YOUR MONEY! Afterwards, silence... No tour, AND, no refund, either!!!

I could not have wishes a better guide - Hanoch was excellent and kept everyone’s spirits up throughout, as well as explaining about history and landmarks.
Mike was excellent in keeping contact before the trip. He met us as the agreed location and time, and took us through Jerusalem in the best possible way. His English was excellent, and his local knowledge was paramount in a great experience.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled that Mike's excellent communication, punctuality, and profound local knowledge contributed to your great experience in Jerusalem. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again for more memorable adventures!
This great visit is one thing to do if you come to Israel. Indeed, the country is very charged culturally but also by the different religions that coexist in Jerusalem. I was amazed by this place, and also very moved to have been able to discover (with respect for each religion) the daily lives of the inhabitants of Jerusalem. This visit will remain in my memory!
We had a great guide who took us on a relaxing walking tour of Jerusalem's Old City. We saw a lot, certainly all the sites advertised in the itinerary and then some. Yet we somehow avoided the crowds. Highly recommended!
While our tour guide was very knowledgeable, I expected to see more than 2 sites in 3 hours. We spent about 45 minutes at the Western Wall, at least 30 minutes at a store, at least30 minutes for lunch and ended at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. I was disappointed.
I like exploring by myself but wanted some guidance. Honoch was an excellent guide. His knowledge of the Old City, his humor and his clear love of people made this a special tour for me. I look forward to returning. Miss you Honoch!
Our guide Omer was absolutely terrific. He was personable and knowledgeable. He took us to all the major sights in the old city and even some that were not included on the official tour. At the end he took us to a great souvenir shop which had a great selection and great prices without the need to bargain.
Alan Younger was a fantastic guide. Extremely knowledgeable, great sense of humor. Highly recommend!
