Itinéraire
Ce que les musulmans appellent Al-Aksa et les juifs appellent le mont du Temple pourrait être décrit comme la connexion entre le ciel et la terre. C'est le site du dôme du rocher et de la mosquée Al-Aksa, et c'est là que se trouvaient les temples de Salomon et d'Hérode. Cet endroit représente l'endroit où les chrétiens, les juifs et les musulmans envisagent la paix qui nous attend tous à l'avenir.
C'est le site le plus accepté pour la Crucifixion et la Résurrection de Jésus. Il regorge de chapelles et d'objets qui racontent les histoires de Jésus, de ses disciples et des croyants qui ont façonné le christianisme à travers les âges. Des restaurations récentes permettent de voir des œuvres d'art époustouflantes et colorées, des scènes cachées sous la poussière depuis des siècles.
Il y a trois sections différentes du Mur occidental, centre de la sainteté juive pendant près de 8 siècles. The Hidden Wall vous aide à comprendre ce que ce mur signifie pour les Juifs à partir du moment où la prière a commencé au XIIIe siècle. Ezrat Yisrael (la zone mixte du Mur des Lamentations) vous permet de comprendre comment ce mur est connecté au Temple, la maison de Dieu sur Terre. Le mur des lamentations traditionnel (séparé par sexe) vous permet de voir comment l'Israël moderne et ses habitants se connectent à ce lieu saint, une image qui met en lumière les défis et les conflits au sein de la religion juive.
Il s'agit d'un site facultatif du circuit : le mont Sion est un quartier d'énigmes. Son nom prête à confusion. Nous visiterons à la fois la salle de la Cène et le tombeau du roi David, pour déterminer si ce sont les vrais sites. La discussion elle-même sur la validité de ces lieux saints, ainsi que sur l’église de la Dormition qui se trouve à côté, fait ressortir des histoires colorées de juifs, de chrétiens et de musulmans tentant de se définir dans un monde en constante évolution.
C'est un site optionnel de la visite : La Jérusalem d'origine, construite par une petite source d'eau douce, trônait juste au sud des murs actuels de la vieille ville. Dans ce petit village, les Cananéens ont créé un système unique de tunnels et de murs pour protéger leur approvisionnement en eau. Ces structures apparaissent dans les histoires du roi biblique David et de ses descendants. Nous traverserons ces grottes, en explorant les histoires des rois, des palais, des batailles, de l'enterrement et des miracles. [droit d'entrée 5 - 9 $ (US) par personne, non inclus dans le prix de la visite] (option de traverser un tunnel humide qui nécessitera des chaussures d'eau et une lampe de poche)
C'est un site facultatif sur la visite : Le sommet de cette colline est l'endroit où le Messie entre à Jérusalem, où Jésus est monté au ciel, et où la sainteté a été commémorée pendant des millénaires. Entre des églises et des chapelles fascinantes, des tombes anciennes et des quartiers politiquement chargés, nous découvrirons certaines des vues les plus émouvantes de Jérusalem. [droit d'entrée jusqu'à 7 $ (US) par personne non inclus dans le prix de la visite]

Gary is an outstanding guide. Gary is deeply knowledgeable, has great stories, speaks clearly and obviously loves his work. We walked around Jerusalem’s Old City for three hours and the time flew by. He took us off the standard tourist trail, up alleyways and onto rooftops, teaching all the while. I look forward to walking with Garytheguide in other places around Israel.
Thank you for the wonderful words. The Old City of Jerusalem is such a special place. It touches your heart and inspires dreams. I think we all felt this while touring around the holy sites of Jerusalem. Thank you for experiencing this with GaryTheGuide. I look forward to seeing you back here again.

I'm so glad that you were able to experience the uniqueness and holiness of Jerusalem. You mentioned "history, spirituality, and local curiosities."

My girlfriend and I had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Jerusalem with our tour guide, Gary. From the moment we started, it was clear that Gary is a true expert in his field—passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging. He struck the perfect balance between guiding us through the city’s iconic sites and giving us plenty of time to wander, take photos, and soak in the atmosphere on our own. What really stood out was Gary’s fun and approachable style. He wove in fascinating historical, political, and religious facts as we walked, making complex topics feel accessible and exciting without ever overwhelming us. Whether we were at the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, or strolling through the bustling markets, his insights added so much depth and context that brought the city to life. Gary’s enthusiasm was contagious, and he tailored the tour to our interests, answering all our questions with patience and humor. We left feeling enriched and inspired, with a much deeper appreciation for Jerusalem’s rich tapestry. Thanks Gary!
Thank you for this glowing review. It was a wonderful day in Jerusalem's Old City. I had a great time showing you both around. Guides love it when people are interested and curious. The many questions you asked along the way are just a testament to how interesting and meaningful this city is. I would be glad to show you around anywhere in Israel. You're always welcome on tours with GaryTheGuide.
I am a traveler from Hong Kong, Gary told me so much about the history of Jerusalem, Christianity, Judaism and Muslims . The tour was excellent, I enjoyed every moment of the tour. Gary is a really good tour guide.
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed walking around the Old City with you. It's a lot of information, but I think we saw it in a meaningful and fun way. Enjoy all your time in Jerusalem, and tell your friends about GaryTheGuide.
Gary is a terrific guide. Full of enthusiasm and information. You can't go wrong if you book a tour with him. He speaks a perfect and clear English and will tailor your tour to your exact wishes.
Thanks so much. I'm always happy to tailor a tour for my tourists wishes in Jerusalem or anywhere around Israel. The country is amazing, and Jerusalem is so meaningful. Whether you like history, archeology, culture, food, or any other aspect of this country, I will make your tour be what you need. I've been lucky to have truly amazing people on my tours this year. Thank you for touring with GaryTheGuide.
Let me preface this by saying that Gary is a 10/10 tour guide! We had so much fun with him on our little tour of the Old City in Jerusalem. We arrived a little late due to some issue with the rail in Jerusalem on that day, and though he could have easily walked away, he was waiting for us with a huge smile! He then took us around the Old City, showed us some great sights, and gave us some great pointers on where to get amazing food. Gary has got a knack for telling stories. Jerusalem, and especially the Old City, is riddled with history, and the way he tells the stories makes it all feel so alive and exciting. It’s interesting, and you just want to know more. The tour was top-notch; it was insightful, funny, and relaxed—and most importantly, it showed a deep love and respect for the city and its history. I would 100% do it again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Israel
Thank you. I give you 12/10 as tourists. The Old City of Jerusalem is filled with treasures and stories to no end. Anytime you want to continue and get deeper into the alleyways and folklore, just let me know, and we can take another walk through history with GaryTheGuide.
I decided to take a Solo trip to the Holy Land just out of sheer curiosity. I came with 0 expectations and boy am I extremely grateful Gary was my guide. Firstly, there will be a crash course of history and you better be ready because it is absolutely important in understanding the holy city. Gary gave me the best highlighted facts with a thorough timeline. He provided stories of all the cultural diversity, and the most important aspect is that he was UNBIASED when explaining the diverse religions. I also had some questions of my own and he answered always without judgement and provided an informative answer. You can tell he's knowledgeable of the city and I was inspired by his passion to inform. He also gave me the best spot for Hummus which I believe was the best I've ever had. I really hope that everyone who visits Jerusalem is as lucky to have Gary as a guide. 10000000% recommend. PS: Gary is a Chicago Bears fan who is Israeli American Fun fact.

Me and my friend absolutely loved this tour (both argentinians 24 yrs old). We laughed, got emotional, and felt we were locals in the old city, thanks to Gary’s unique charm, knowledge and experience with every stone and alleyway!

Our tour with Gary the Guide was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, Gary provided a rich and engaging experience that brought the history and beauty of Jerusalem to life. We began with a fascinating walking tour in Old Jerusalem, exploring iconic landmarks like the Tower of David, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and even a remarkable tattoo parlor that has been creating art for 27 generations! Gary’s deep knowledge and passion for these sites made every moment both educational and inspiring. After Old Jerusalem, Gary guided us to the Mount of Olives, where the views were nothing short of breathtaking. We visited the Chapel of the Ascension, the serene Church of the Pater Noster, and the stunning Church of All Nations. Each site carried its own unique history and significance, which Gary explained with incredible clarity and enthusiasm. To wrap up the tour, we enjoyed a scenic drive and took in panoramic views of the city – a perfect way to reflect on the day’s journey. Gary’s expertise, warmth, and storytelling ability made this tour an unforgettable experience. He tailored the itinerary to our interests and ensured that we felt connected to the places we visited. If you’re considering a tour in Jerusalem, Gary is the guide you need. His knowledge, passion, and personal touch will leave you with memories to treasure for a lifetime. Thank you, Gary, for an extraordinary day!
