The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is located in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. It is believed to contain the two holiest sites in Christianity: the site where Jesus was crucified and Jesus's empty tomb, where he is believed by Christians to have been buried and resurrected.
The Temple Mount is a hill in the Old City of Jerusalem that has been venerated as a holy site in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam for thousands of years
The Western Wall, the holiest place where Jews are permitted to pray, is an ancient limestone wall in the Old City of Jerusalem. The wall was originally erected as part of the expansion of the Second Jewish Temple begun by Herod the Great.
The Via Dolorosa is a processional route in the Old City of Jerusalem. It represents the path that Jesus would have taken, forced by the Roman soldiers, on the way to his crucifixion from the former Antonia Fortress to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The Old City Souk, also known as the Arab Souq, Arabic Market or Suq El-Bazar, is a large bazaar in the Old City of Jerusalem

Ariel was an exceptional guide and made our Jerusalem tour truly memorable. He is professional, calm, attentive, and very knowledgeable. Throughout the tour, he shared fascinating historical details and insights that many guides often overlook, making the experience both educational and engaging. One aspect I particularly appreciated was how he used historical photographs, maps, and diagrams to help us better understand the sites and their significance. His explanations were clear, well-structured, and brought the history of Jerusalem to life. Ariel was also extremely considerate and helpful. He frequently offered to take photos for participants and suggested the best locations and angles, helping us create wonderful memories of the visit. What impressed me most was his genuine interest in understanding the group’s goals and interests. He adapted his explanations accordingly, ensuring that everyone felt included and that the tour met our expectations. The pace of the tour was excellent—never rushed, yet very comprehensive—allowing us enough time to appreciate each location and absorb the information being shared. This was one of the most emotional and enriching tours I have ever experienced. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Jerusalem and looking for a tour that combines deep knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for the guests.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dear Deborah, Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We are thrilled to hear you had such a great experience. It is a pleasure to read these kind words about Ariel, who is a wonderful guide on many of our tours.
If you ever get the chance to experience the old city of Jerusalem, do it with Tania on this walking tour! She was wonderful, knowledgeable and easy to understand and explained and answered every question! We experienced so much more with her leading us through the streets and through the quarters! Come to Jerusalem and take this tour!!
The education that I learn from Anat was amazing. ****** Well structured and organized and we saw so much. Thank you ** Anat!!
Great tour. All the historical sites were fascinating. The guide was friendly, and knowledgeable. The walking was not as challenging as one might worry, Not too many steps. A few slight inclines, but there are plenty of places to find a seat as you listen to the guide's information. Only a few hours ( 3-4ish I think ), if time is an issue ( as opposed to the full day, 9 hour tours ).
We had the chance to spend 4 hours with Anat, a very good person with deep knowledge of Jerusalem. She was helpful, sharp, and truly interesting the whole time. She spoke equally to everyone in the group and kept it engaging throughout. I honestly can’t imagine doing this route alone. Highly recommended.
It was a great tour, guide was very knowledgeable. Saw all of the highlights, would highly recommend. Eat a big breakfast there is no lunch stop, not even a quick one.
Tanya, our guide, was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of depth and historical information about the areas that we explored. I definitely recommend this tour guide.
Shahar was our guide and he was excellent! You spend thousands of dollars to come here. Why in the world would you get a tour guide that is extremely intelligent,very humourous and very personable. I am a Christian and I have been in 5 continents and have taken so many tours. This is the absolutely best tour and best trip I have ever taken. To put the pieces together the way Shahar did was brilliant. What matters to me when I travel is,am I interested in the country? Region? Subject ? And above all, is the guide personable and can he relate what he knows in a diplomatic fashion and not offend other religions and denominations. He went well beyond and exceeded my expectations. Probably one of the best experiences of my life. 100 % recommend this young man. On the Christian side of the house, this is a must do event. There will probably be nothing compared to the experience and see where God walked,died and resurrected. ✝️ Matt Waters Tennessee
50 U$ per person for a walking tour that all places were free of chage? The guide got some 40 minutes late, there was nothing included, not even a bottle of water… something anyone ca do on foot and alone.
Dear Andre We are sorry to see that you were not satisfied with the tour. The guide was indeed late, but only by 15 minutes, due to unexpected heavy traffic. This is of course not ok, and we communicated that, appologized and offered a compesation. Regrading the price of the tour, first of all, we are one of the more budget options for this kind of tour. Second, we are very transparent in the tour description about what's inlcuded and what is not. The tour includes only guiding - something very commom with waliking city tours. We make sure to have the best guides, to deliever the best expereince. Those who are not interested in guiding, should, indeed, not take a tour, but rather walk on their own.
from start to finish, the tour was incredible. the guide Nimrod was very informative and is passionate about what he does. I took my niece and her boyfriend and all of us left impressed and having enjoyed a really good guided tour.
Thank you for your nice words! We are glad you were happy with the tour and our tour guide Nimrod.
